No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 807

When she noticed that Ivy looked strikingly similar to Xenia, Noelle immediately tensed up. Could it be such a coincidence?

Noelle made no effort to hide the surprise on her face, and knowing what she was shocked about, Mia quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Noelle is my best friend, Ivy. She's just surprised to see you here."

"It was my fault for coming back unannounced. I heard about everything happening here and wanted to come back to check on you."

It was only now that Noelle snapped back to reality. She glanced at Ivy and quickly hid her shock. "I've heard about you from Mia."

"Really? It's a pity I can't do much to help her. I just wanted to come to see her, and now that I've seen with my own eyes that she's okay, I can rest easy."

With that, Ivy stood up and continued, "I'll be heading off now. If there's anything you need help with the Cantrells, I'll be on your side."

Upon hearing that, Mia's eyes reddened. "I understand. Thank you, Ivy."

"There's no need to thank me. Eason and I are counting on you, so we'd want the best for you."

Noelle stood quietly to the side and observed Ivy carefully. On closer inspection, she noticed that the latter didn't seem to resemble Xenia that much. It was just the eyes and facial structure that bore a slight resemblance.

There were many people in the world who looked alike, so Noelle figured that wasn't such a strange occurrence.

Once Ivy left, Noelle closed the door and walked over to Mia. "Why is she suddenly back?"

She'd heard of Mia's stepmom, Ivy. The latter had been living abroad with a sickly son for years and never came back. It seemed almost as if she were invisible.
