Chapter 436

That was why Cedric had cut his meeting short and rushed back.

Noelle pressed her face against his palm. "Have I ever cried that badly before?" She didn't remember ever crying like that.

Cedric pursed his lips. She was crying during that car accident.

Noelle had cried just as heartbreakingly when he pulled her out of the wreckage. She even bit him when he refused to let her get near the burning vehicle. It seemed Noelle had forgotten about it.

Cedric's hand felt warm against her skin, his gaze dark and unreadable as he locked eyes with her. Just as he leaned down, Noelle straightened up again and cleared her throat. "You probably haven't eaten yet either. I'm hungry."

"... Me too." He took her and gave her a look.

Noelle glanced down at their joined hands and blurted out, "What are we?"

Cedric tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I'll take you somewhere once you're discharged."

"Where?" Noelle was curious.

"It's a secret. We should make things official soon." Cedric smirked.
