No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Frank sighed on the other end of the phone and said, “I don’t think it’ll be that easy. It seems like Noelle is truly hurt this time.”

He had tried to coax her, but there hadn’t been any improvements. In fact, Noelle hadn’t even replied to his message, nor did she return home after leaving that restaurant.

Early the next day, she took a cab to her school alone as Cedric was not working that day.

When she arrived at her school, she saw a luxurious and eye–catching car parked at the side of the road, and a number of people were gathered around it. Looking at their uniforms, she
