No longer a pushover

Chapter 607

Noelle's face felt warm as she stared at the message on her screen.

Cedric sent only one line: "I don't agree to the breakup and will wait for you- however long it takes."

She immediately closed the chat and turned her face toward the car window, trying to steady the emotions bubbling up again. She had finally started to calm down, but now her heart was in chaos all over again.

For a long time, Noelle thought Cedric had only toyed with her feelings and kept his real identity hidden because he did not care. But just earlier, he had stood up in front of everyone and shut down the engagement rumors with Laura.

She had watched as Laura completely broke down in tears right in front of everyone. It was not something Cedric had to do, but he did.

Grace broke the silence from the back seat. "Noelle, what's going on with you and your boyfriend-sorry, ex-boyfriend?"

Noelle mumbled, "It's... kind of complicated right now."

Grace said with a grin, "Well, from the way he was looking at you just now, I don't think he's over it. He looked like a big abandoned puppy, just waiting for you to turn around and pet him."

If it were her, Grace thought she would be unable to stay mad for so long. After all, having such a handsome boyfriend would melt away any anger she felt with just a glance at his face.

Noelle felt her face heat up even more. "Don't start. Honestly, I haven't even figured out what I want yet."
