Chapter 484 Grace smiled. "Are you going on a date, Noelle? You're even wearing a skirt today." Noelle swirled around. "How does it look?" "It's beautiful! Your legs look so flawless. I'm so jealous." Grace realized what she had said and quickly changed the subject.
Noelle grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. As she walked, she noticed someone had spilled their takeout on the stairs, making the floor dangerously slippery.
She thought for a moment and texted Grace: "The stairs here are a hazard. Remind our roommates not to take this way." Grace checked the photo and glanced at their new roommate, who was sitting at her desk. "If you're heading out later, don't use that staircase. Noelle said someone spilled their food and didn't bother to clean it up." The new roommate was surprised before murmuring, "Thanks for the warning." Grace didn't say anything else. Their new roommate was quiet, and they coexisted peacefully.

A mischievous idea crossed her mind. She crept up behind him, intending to surprise him. But just as her hand reached his eyes, she was pinned down. His reflexes were astonishingly fast.
Noelle looked up at him, stunned. "It's me." Cedric chuckled and lifted her onto the edge of the boxing ring. He placed his hands on either side of her and leaned in. "Your sneak attack was too slow." "How was that slow? Your reaction speed is just insane! Why are you so on guard all the time?" Noelle was surprised by how many skills Cedric had up his sleeves.
She looked up while Cedric stared at her. Their eyes met, and Noelle's heart raced as she stared at his handsface.
Cedric's gaze darkened, and he brushed his lips against hers. Noelle tensed before deepening the kiss.
Cedric stiffened and slid his hand to the back of Noelle's head. Her hands clenched nervously, and she slowly reached around his waist. Her heart was filled with joy-she really loved Cedric.
The sunset streamed through the windows, and their shadows intertwined. Noelle's breathing grew erratic. A buzzing filled her ears, and for a moment, the entire world seemed to fade away.
Finally, Cedric pulled back. His gaze was unreadable as he gently wiped the saliva from her lips. His voice was husky. "Go change." Blushing, Noelle nodded and looked down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric's eyes drifted to her legs. Due to their intimacy, her skirt had ridden up, revealing the scar from the accident.
A sharp pang struck his heart, and he sobered up instantly. Cedric pulled her skirt back down. "Don't wear short skirts again." Noelle teased, "You call this short?" "Yes. I think it's too short. I don't want others looking at you." Cedric lifted her off the ring.
Noelle adjusted her skirt. "Fine, I won't wear it next time."
"Are you stupid?" He flicked her forehead: "Wear whatever you want. I e might get jealous, but I can take care of any wandering event Noelle should live freely. He would handle any trouble that cher way.
Noelle blushed and ran toward the locker room. On her way, sheo m unexpectedly encountered Laura, Samantha's older sister. Noelle stopped. "What a coincidence. Ms. Merlock, are you here to work out, too?"
Something felt off. Why would someone from the Merlock family cto a small gym near the En university? Laura forced a smile. "I'm here to look for someone." Noelle was curious. Who would the esteemed Laura clooking for?
