Chapter 453 Cedric frowned slightly and glanced at his assistant.
Noelle turned around. "Is someone calling you?" "You heard wrong." Cedric shifted his position to block Noelle's view while Laura was surrounded by bodyguards and swiftly taken away.
Soon, the helicopter lifted off. Laura could only watch as Cedric left with another lady. Anger drove her to the verge of tears.
She'd seen Cedric act gently around the lady, and she'd never witnessed this side of him. That thought sent jealousy surging through her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since she was a child, her only wish had been to marry Cedric, be his wife, and give birth to two children. And now, Noelle's sudden appearance ruined everything. She'd never let Cedric go.
Her assistant approached. "I took a picture of the lady just now, Ms. Merlock, but it isn't very clear." Laura glanced at the picture and immediately recognized who it was. She'd seen Noelle at the hospital, but after Alfred denied everything, she'd foolishly trusted him.
Damn it. They'd lied to her.
Laura fumed. "Find out every single detail about her, no matter what it takes!" The assistant replied, "There's no need to investigate. She's Noelle Liddell, the one who's been targeting Samantha at school and stirring up quite a storm on the Intelately." "That's her?" A glint of amusement flashed in Laura's eyes. It seemed fate had handed her a perfect opportunity.
If Emma found out what kind of person Noelle was, she'd definitely object to the relationship. She pulled out her phone and dialed Emma's number.
"Are you free this afternoon for stea, Mrs. Greene? There's something I've been thinking over, and I feel I should tell you about it." She had to make sure both Emma and Anastasia knew who Noelle really was. That would prove that she is the only one worthy of Cedric.
The helicopter landed at a secluded yet beautiful restaurant. The ambiance was exquisite and perfect for a date. As Noelle took a glance around, she lowered her voice. "This place doesn't seem very popular. There aren't many customers." "Probably because it's too remote," Cedric mentioned nothing about renting out the whole place.
They ate in relative silence. Noelle found herself eating more gracefully than usual and felt oddly self-conscious about her image.
Cedric handed her a napkin. "Shall we go for a walk?" "Sure." They walked side by side, and as their hands brushed against each other at one point, Noelle's heart raced. The next second, Cedric reached out and took her hand.
She looked down and saw their shadows intertwined, hand in hand. The moment felt intimate and intoxicating under the veil of the night sky.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Cedric stopped and looked down at her. "Are you bored?" "Not really, but I think the scenery would be better during the day." "I heard it's more romantic at night."
Just after Cedric spoke, dazzling fireworks lit up the sky and illuminated the entire Noelle boethe landscapem Noelle looked up at the fireworks, and Cedric never took his eyes off her.
sŵ "Do you like it?" he asked.
"I've seen beautiful fireworks, but this tfeels different. Maybe it's because of the person I'm watching them with."
She turned to look at him as the fireworks bloomed behind to casta glow over his sharply defined features. She could barely take his eyes off him. Cedric was incredibly handsome, and Noelle wondered if she'd been attracted to his looks from the very beginning.
Cedric nervously said, "I'm not as perfect as you think, Noelle. I hesitate and retreat sometimes, but when I saw you hurt, I swored'd never let that happen again. So..." "So what?" "So be my girlfriend, and I'll take care of you from now on. Is that okay?"
