Noel’s face turned cold.
He came to rescue her, never intending to ask for money. It wasn’t because of her identity, but because
she was a human being-just a young woman.
“Even if it wasn’t you, I would’ve come rushing over as soon as I sensed something wrong,” Noel said
before exiting the car.
A few seconds later, the sound of the passenger door opening echoed in the car.
He had put some distance between them.
Throughout the journey, all she could see was the back of his head-pitch black, with thick hair resembling
a forest.
She stared for a long time, and her eyes finally welled up with tears.
Bastard!
She clenched her teeth tightly, forbidding herself to cry out loud.
Wake up already!
She admonished herself. Noel had never liked her. Otherwise, why would he take money from her family
and now speak such words when she was so vulnerable?
The car remained silent until it was time to disembark. Only then did Noel turn his head, looking at her.
“Cecilia.”
He stared into her eyes and called her name again when she didn’t respond the first time.
Cecilia quickly lifted her head to meet his gaze. Noel breathed a sigh of relief, as if nothing had
happened, and gestured for her to leave the car.
Cecilia felt even more ashamed and angry.
Now she understood why Noel had changed his mind, not leaving the car but instead seeing her all the
way home.
He thought that after what happened today, she might have a breakdown.
Her heart clenched painfully, and embarrassment overwhelmed her.
She had once trusted him completely, revealing her vulnerable side during her moments of illness, which
he had clearly witnessed.
Now, that vulnerability had become a weapon he used to stab her heart, causing discomfort and a
suffocating feeling.
She clutched her clothes tightly.
The clothes protecting her legs belonged to Noel.
In front of everyone, she discarded that piece of clothing, exposing her fair thighs. With a sorrowful
expression, she looked at Noel.
He despised her.
So, she insisted on making him take her back home.
To her bed.
She wanted him to feel ashamed and humiliated when he saw her mother.
The driver didn’t understand what was happening. Seeing the two in a tense situation, he quickly got out
of the car. As soon as he caught sight of Cecilia’s exposed legs, his face turned crimson.
On her legs were Larry’s fingerprints. He had pressed down harshly, leaving behind a bruise that
appeared even more ambiguous.
It easily led people’s imaginations to run wild.
“Are you crazy?!” Noel shouted.
He got out of the car. This time, he took off his shirt and wrapped her securely in it.
Cecilia nestled in his embrace, her eyes filled with a bitter emotion she couldn’t quite understand. She
had to admit that his embrace made her feel secure.
She knew this man wasn’t good for her, and wasn’t her suitable match. But after the humiliation from
Larry, she still wanted to stay in his arms for a while longer.
However, he refused to get close to her.
“Yeah, I’m crazy.” Cecilia’s eyes were fixed on him as she spoke, nestled in his embrace.
Noel was puzzled. Cecilia had always been meticulous and thoughtful in her actions and words, like a
young lady raised in a wealthy family.
However, seeing her in her current state deeply unsettled him, and he felt uncomfortable with her
reactions.
Noel didn’t say anything more.
The two walked toward the Jarvis residence together.
Sue liked to tend to flowers and plants in the yard during the day. When Noel entered, she noticed him at
a glance.
And then, she saw Cecilia in his embrace. Everything seemed to blur before her eyes.
