No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 144

Noelle couldn't even bring herself to look at Cedric. She was afraid that even a single glance at him would give her away.

Alfred spoke up, "Nelly, just say it! Whatever you wish for, I will make it happen!"

Without thinking, Noelle blurted out, "I want to go to a bar."

"No problem!" Alfred immediately agreed.

"No way," Cedric interjected firmly.

Noelle instinctively turned to Cedric, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Cedric quickly relented. "Why do you want to go to a bar?"

Noelle's tone was full of longing. "Because I've never been, and I want to try it."

In truth, it was because she hadn't been to one in this lifetime. She had gone to a bar once in her previous life, but the experience had left her with a mental trauma. This time, she wanted to face it again and put those painful memories to rest.

Alfred playfully smacked Cedric on the chest. "Why won't you let her go? Boohoo, you villain! Such a meanie!"

Cedric's lips twitched. "You'd better shut up, you drama queen!"

Noelle laughed so hard her stomach hurt. She really liked how life felt now. But shortly after, she received a message from Frank.

"Noelle, the results are out. How did you do? Did your score in language take a hit?"

Noelle let out a cold laugh when she saw the message. So Frank also knew the stationery incident could have affected her performance.

No one here was a fool. They just pretended not to understand. Noelle replied with a tone she hadn't used before, "What do you think?"

"I'm sorry, Noelle. Whatever compensation you want, I will agree to it. Even if you want to repeat a year, I'll be there to accompany you every day."

But Noelle didn't respond.
