Chapter 144

Noelle couldn't even bring herself to look at Cedric. She was afraid that even a single glance at him would give her away. Alfred spoke up, "Nelly, just say it! Whatever you wish for, I will make it happen!" Without thinking, Noelle blurted out, "I want to go to a bar." "No problem!" Alfred immediately agreed. "No way," Cedric interjected firmly. Noelle instinctively turned to Cedric, her eyes filled with a hint of anticipation. Their eyes met for a moment, and Cedric quickly relented. "Why do you want to go to a bar?" Noelle's tone was full of longing. "Because I've never been, and I want to try it." In truth, it was because she hadn't been to one in this lifetime. She had gone to a bar once in her previous life, but the experience had left her with a mental trauma. This time, she wanted to face it again and put those painful memories to rest. Alfred playfully smacked Cedric on the chest. "Why won't you let her go? Boohoo, you villain! Such a meanie!" Cedric's lips twitched.
