No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1520

Luna shook her head. "No, I want to do it by myself."

Cedric chuckled. "You've got quite the temper. But how are you going to find your father if you don't know anything at all? You've got to at least tell me something you know about."

"Hmm, I think he's rich. He forced Mommy to leave her hometown."

"So he's rich? That narrows it down quite a bit, at least. I'll have someone look into it."

Cedric figured that it was probably a case of young, wealthy elites getting a woman pregnant out of wedlock, but the family did not approve of their union. And things fell apart from there. It was rather easy to dig up information about such happenings.

Luna smiled. "Okay, thank you."

Cedric stood up and said, "Alright, Edmund, prepare a room for her."

He never once imagined that he would be taking in a child.

Luna stared at Cedric's back and thought to herself that the fierce-looking man was actually a good person.

Edmund looked at Luna and said, "Please come with me, Miss. Your bedroom is ready."

He had actually already arranged for someone to prepare a room for Luna back when Cedric invited her to dinner. She was Cedric's daughter, after all, and possibly his only heir.

…

Back in his own room, Cedric lay down on the large bed and stared up at the ceiling. His head did not seem to hurt as much anymore.

He wondered if Luna's massage was actually effective.

Cedric glanced around at the room's decor. Five years had passed, but he still did not know what exactly he was holding on to. He wondered if his current life was a joke.

He had thought about starting over a new life, but whenever he tried to get close to another woman, he would feel extremely repulsed. He simply could not get near any of them.

His mind had forgotten many things, but his body still remembered.

Cedric felt extremely conflicted. Living day after day of the exact same life was driving him insane. He stared at the ceiling and eventually let out a chuckle before closing his eyes.
