No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1136

Noelle stayed still and quickly noticed that Cedric had fallen asleep. It was clear that he was exhausted. Not long after, the car arrived at the banquet. But Noelle didn't wake Cedric. She wanted to let him sleep a little longer.

However, the blaring car horns and chattering voices in the parking lot soon woke him. He glanced outside. "How long have we been here? Why didn't you wake me?"

"I wanted you to get some sleep. It's fine if we show up to the banquet late. You matter more," Noelle said sincerely.

Cedric chuckled and leaned down to kiss her, but Noelle dodged him.

He frowned. "Why won't you let me kiss you?"

Noelle looked at him. "It'll mess up my makeup. I didn't bring my lipstick."

Cedric squeezed her hand. "Then I'll make it up to you later."

Noelle turned to look out the car window. "Let's go."

The two of them held hands and walked into the banquet hall. Their arrival instantly attracted a wave of attention.

After all, the gossip between the most sought-after bachelor and his rumored girlfriend, Noelle, had been all over the trending searches.

Although most discussions about Noelle were negative, many girls were still envious of her for being able to make such a proud man treat her in this way.

Noelle could feel the stares around her. Most were filled with curiosity, while some were marked by mockery or condescension.

It was nothing new. After all, the Merlock family had once looked at her the same way.
