No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1214

Noelle replied to the message, "Not yet. Are you home now?"

"Yeah, I've just arrived. Do you want to video chat?" asked Cedric.

After glancing at the message, she called him right away.

When the call connected, she noticed he was in his robes, and his hair was still wet. It was obvious to her that he had just finished showering.

With his hair all over his forehead, he looked straight into the camera with a bright gaze. Then, he said calmly, "I've missed you."

Noelle sat on her bed and asked, "How was work today?"

"It was alright." After saying that, Cedric added with a raised eyebrow, "Don't you miss me, too?"

She pursed her lips, feeling slightly embarrassed. "I do."

When he heard that, he finally smirked in satisfaction. Then, he lazily leaned against the headboard and looked into his phone with an empty gaze. "Are you with the Liddells now?"

"Yeah, Carl has left."

"Well, it looks like Mia is fine now."

She nodded with a smile. "That's right."

"About the investigation, we still haven't found any clues about the culprit. It seems like they have prepared well for this. Since the weather that day was fine, it became harder to track them down after they left the scene."

"I know, but I've already found out who did it." Noelle hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But the way I found out might sound a little unbelievable."

"Well, let's hear it. How weird can it be?"

She looked at him once more before saying, "I had a dream. A long dream."

She asked him what he would do if she insisted on staying with the Liddells and continued fighting Xenia for their attention.

With that thought in mind, he wondered if the dream was the reason why she asked that question. He looked back at her and asked, "Did you have that dream before the exams?"

"Yeah. It was just before we met. I didn't want the dream to come true, so I started to resist."

"In that case, did you meet me in that dream before?"

She nodded. "You were still a school doctor, and we didn't talk much."

"No way. I would never ignore you."

"I know. You just helped me through other means."

"What do you mean?" he asked curiously.
