No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 233

"How did things go with Nelly last night?"

Cedric's expression stiffened slightly. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Villains die from talking too much."

"Whoa, don't tell me you actually slept with her! What now?"

"No, I didn't touch her."

"Good thing you kept your head. Don't forget this: the two of you can never be together. Get a grip, alright?"

Cedric glanced back at Noelle, who was eating at the table. His gaze softened as he looked at her.

"I know," he said, his voice tinged with bitterness. He knew it better than anyone, but now he found himself caught between a rock and a hard place.

Changing the subject, Cedric asked, "Did you find out anything about last night's incident?"
