Noelle countered with a question, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation. She was eager to know how Cedric

truly saw her.

Cedric thought momentarily before replying, "I see you as a little sister, so | can come. But no other men are

allowed."

A little sister? Her heart sank, and she said, "I don't need a brother."

At that moment, Cedric's phone rang. He glanced at the screen before answering, "Hello?"

"Mr. Greene, there's an urgent matter at the company. When will you be able to come?"

"I'll be there shortly."

Cedric hung up and turned to Noelle. "The hsupplies will be delivered later. You don't need to go out to pick

them up."

"You're not going? Who called you just now? Is it something urgent?" Noelle wondered if it was that woman

calling.

He hesitated for a moment. "It's a bit urgent. I'll head out now."

"Okay."

Noelle watched him leave, her emotions a rollercoaster. He had received a call and rushed off-surely it was that

woman's call.

Since she was alone at home, Noelle prepared smaterials for an artificial intelligence project she might need

later. Soon after, someone knocked at the door.

"Ms. Liddell, we're from the hsupplies company. We're here to deliver your order. Is it convenient?"

Noelle was puzzled. "I didn't order anything."

"Mr. Greene ordered it." She hadn't expected Cedric to actually send the household supplies; she had thought he

was just casually saying that.

She immediately called him, but there was no answer. She glanced at the workers outside. "Go ahead and bring

them in."

She would have to settle the

payment with Cedric later. Soon, the workers had placed all the furniture and supplies. Noelle thought they

looked pretty nice-they were of light colors that were easy on the eyes.

Once the workers left, Noelle sent Cedric a picture of the living room. "You have

nice taste. How much did all this cost? I'll pay you back."

She didn't want to accept these things from him. It just felt off. However, Cedric never replied.

Noelle felt conflicted and frustrated. Eventually, out of spite, she stopped asking. Since he wasn't in a hurry, why

should she be?

On the first day of school, Noelle took a taxi to Yole University with her suitcase. A

black luxury car followed closely behind as she got into the taxi.

Inside the car, Alfred spoke lazily. "If you're that worried, why not send her to school yourself instead of sneaking

around and following her?"

"There's no need."

Cedric's gaze was fixed on the taxi ahead. He had nearly been recognized the last tthey were at the

restaurant. Since Noelle was starting a new chapter in her life, he decided he shouldn't appear in it anymore.
