No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1519

Cedric exchanged a glance with Luna and then walked past her to pour himself a cup of hot water. He sat down on the couch and rubbed his eyes. He believed that he had begun to see things from drinking too much.

Luna walked up to him and reached out her small hand to help rub his temples.

Cedric had been feeling a bit of a headache, but to his surprise, the pain eased quite a bit in an instant. After a while more, his mood steadied considerably.

He opened his eyes and turned his head to find a little girl with a tiny tuft of her hair tied up. He could not help but notice just how short Luna was.

Cedric propped himself up and finally got a clear look at the delicate features on her fair face, looking timidly back at him. Then, he spoke up with a stern expression.

"What are you doing here?"

Luna immediately lowered her head, her fingers twisting restlessly.

Cedric softened his tone and continued, "Don't worry, I won't send you away until I find your parents."

Luna's head shot up, her big eyes sparkling like shining stars. "Really?"

"I always keep my word."

She smiled and replied, "Thank you."

Cedric was surprised that she actually knew enough manners to say thank you. She was not so polite when she latched onto him from before.

Cedric was about to say something when Luna's stomach started to growl. He then asked, "Are you hungry?"

Luna shook her head. "No."

He stood up and said, "Edmund, go and prepare dinner."

Edmund nodded quickly. He figured that Luna must really be Cedric's child. He had never seen Cedric be this gentle with a child before, after all.

Before long, the dining table was filled with food, including some dishes that children commonly liked to eat.

Cedric did not have much of an appetite, but watching Luna eat so happily made him wonder if the food was unusually good that night. Luna looked up at him and said, "You eat, too."

"You go ahead. I'm not that hungry."
