Olivia clearly hadn't been trained for situations like this. When the man touched her, her expression immediately changed.She immediately snapped her head around to glare at him. "What are you doing?"The man had only meant to touch her casually. For him, such behavior was second nature. But Olivia's reaction caught him off guard.He quickly chuckled coldly and said, "What are you talking about? What did I do?""I'm asking you what you did! You touched me just now! Everyone saw it!" Olivia replied through gritted teeth.Hendrix had been talking to someone beside him, and it wasn't until Olivia's shrill voice rang out that he looked up.Olivia just happened to sweep her gaze over him at that moment, but she quickly looked away. Her eyes became slightly reddened the next instant."I didn't touch you." The man's smirk deepened. "You're new here, aren't you?""So what if I am? I'll have you know there are surveillance cameras in this room. All I have to do is check the footage to

As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Hendrix paused for a moment before asking, "Why should I help you?""I… You.. As a member of high society, and as a man, isn't it only right for you to help a woman when you see her being humiliated and treated unfairly?" Olivia sounded full of righteous anger.Hendrix smiled, but his gaze remained cold. "Sorry. I don't have that kind of mindset, nor will I ever do something like that.""You! I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you men are all the same! You're all in this together!" Olivia said through gritted teeth.Hendrix couldn't be bothered with her. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Olivia suddenly rushed forward and grabbed his arm.Her action made Hendrix's expression change instantly. Without even needing to think about it, he pushed her hand away.His voice turned extremely icy. "Get lost!"Olivia had been furious at first, but when she saw the disgust in his gaze, she froze in place. Then, she suddenly felt a wave of indes

Noelle knew that Hendrix was doing this to prove her innocence.When they entered the private dining room, she wasn't surprised to see that it was filled entirely with men.Noelle had rarely been seen in public lately. In the past, she would occasionally accompany Hendrix to public events, but she didn't even attend those now.In fact, the last time she had appeared in public was at their own wedding. But the wedding was disrupted midway, so no one had had the chance to speak with her.Now that they saw her, they immediately began offering toasts with smiles on their faces."My wife has been wanting to chat with you. She's hosting a tea party at home for two days—you should join if you have time.""I heard you enjoy painting, right? I saw a piece at an auction recently."Noelle hated dealing with situations like this. Back when she worked at Elm Group, she had no choice but to put up with it. But now, she didn't want to entertain a single word.Fortunately, Hendrix noticed her

"What kind of relationship could there be between me and Dr. Garnet? None, of course," Hendrix replied without a second thought.But after a moment, something seemed to cross his mind. He then smiled and said, "Penny, are you jealous?"Noelle didn't answer. Instead, she simply pulled her hand back.Hendrix didn't mind. In fact, his smile deepened. "So, it's true you're jealous, huh?""I'm not," Noelle replied, but it lacked conviction.Hendrix said nothing more. He just smiled at her. His gaze was piercing, as though wanting to strip away Noelle's pretense.She hadn't planned on paying him any attention, but her cheeks started to flush a little under his gaze. Finally, she turned and glared at him. "Why are you staring at me like that?""No reason. I just think it's pretty interesting," Hendrix replied with a grin.His explanation made Noelle grit her teeth even more. But just before she could truly get angry, Hendrix reached out and pulled her into his arms."You're overthink

Before the new year arrived, there was another somewhat important event—Hendrix's birthday.After leaving the hospital, Noelle hesitated for a moment before heading to a nearby mall. With only a few days left until Hendrix's birthday, there was no time to order anything custom-made. So she had to settle for something ready-made.As soon as she walked into a men's clothing store, a sales associate greeted her, asking, "Mrs. Freeman, how can I assist you today?"Surprised to find that she was now a recognizable figure here, Noelle paused before replying, "Let me take a look first.""Is there something Mr. Freeman needs? Would you like to see this? This coat is our new arrival."Noelle hadn't had anything specific in mind, but under the sales associate's recommendations, she ended up buying a pile of items.She paid with Hendrix's card, so naturally, she didn't feel any particular emotion about it.But what Noelle didn't expect was to run into Dylan as she left the store.He seeme

As Jean spoke, she had already pulled out her phone.Dylan immediately moved to snatch it away, but Noelle said calmly, "No, that won't be necessary."Her lack of reaction made Jean's expression falter, while Dylan slowly turned to look at her."Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to."Without waiting for a response, Noelle turned and walked away.Jean was momentarily stunned, but as soon as she regained her composure, she rushed after Noelle again. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying? I'm telling you. This—""If you say it's true, then it's true," Noelle interrupted her. "But this is a matter between my husband and me. In any case, don't you think your concern is a bit excessive, Ms. Fisher?"Noelle's attitude made Jean feel like she was talking to a brick wall, causing an involuntary frown to appear on her forehead while her expression turned as dark as thunder.Noelle had a point—it was a private matter between her and Hendrix, and it had nothing w

The passionate lovemaking in the bedroom finally came to an end two hours later. Soon, there was the sound of water splashing on tiles coming from the shower. After resting for a few minutes, Noelle Swanson got out of bed with trembling legs as she picked up her clothes from the floor.Hendrix Freeman had been rougher than usual today, so she felt a little bewildered. She fumbled with the buttons of her pajamas several times but couldn't get them done up. Soon, Hendrix came out of the shower. He was tall, with strong, handsome features. He'd just showered, so he only had a towel wrapped around his waist at the moment. Droplets of water trickled down his abs. When he noticed that Noelle was still there, he frowned a little. Noelle didn't look at him. She kept her head down and continued to struggle with the buttons. "Sandra will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow," Hendrix suddenly said as he walked past her. "Go pick her up. I've already promised your mother that she c

The person speaking was Sandra's good friend, Ruth Upton. She was a heiress of a wealthy family. Ruth and Sandra had grown up together. She had always been the biggest supporter of Hendrix and Sandra's relationship. Now that Noelle had become Hendrix's wife instead, it came as no surprise that Ruth was unfriendly toward her.Even when she noticed Noelle standing at the door, she didn't feel the least bit embarrassed or uneasy about what she'd said.It was Sandra who greeted her first. "You're here, Noelle."Noelle nodded. "I'm here to take you home. Have you packed your things?""Yes. I'm all set. Let's go," Sandra replied good-naturedly. Ruth couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mr. Freeman? Sandy is being discharged today. Isn't he coming to pick her up?""He's gone to the office," Noelle replied."Oh, he seems really busy. I wonder if he's too busy to come or if you didn't let him come," Ruth conjectured with disdain.Before Noelle could respond, Sandra interrupted softly, "Ru

Noelle had been wandering outside for a while. When she returned, Beatrice had already come out.But she hadn't left. Instead, she was sitting by the door, clearly waiting for Noelle to come back.Noelle had no choice but to stop and face her.Beatrice smiled at her. "You're back?"Noelle nodded."It must have been exhausting for you to take care of Hendrix all this time," Beatrice continued. "He's not the type to sit still and do nothing. Even in this state, he's still working every day. You'll have to keep an eye on him for me."Noelle wanted to say that their relationship wasn't at that level yet, but since Beatrice had already asked her to do so, she could only nod stiffly."I understand, Mrs. Freeman.""Although your wedding was disrupted, I'm still glad that this situation helped you both see each other's true feelings."As she spoke, Beatrice reached out to take Noelle's hand. "Promise me you two will live happily ever after together, okay?"Her tone was solemn, and he

Then, the figure turned around and asked, "You're awake?"As she drew closer, Hendrix's tender expression disappeared."I had such a fright! I've been summoned for shift work in the emergency department, and I've been so busy the past few days. I finally had some time to check my phone, and I saw the news about you. "I thought something bad had happened to you. Thank goodness you're okay." Olivia Garnet's eyes were red-rimmed as she spoke.Hendrix's frown was furrowed tight as he snapped coldly, "What are you doing here?""I came to visit you. When I saw that there's no one around, I thought of pouring myself a cup of water since I'm parched having just finished work. "I didn't expect you to be awake now. Do you want some water? I can pour you some too—"As Olivia spoke and was about to take a seat, Hendrix didn't hesitate at all before blurting it, "Get out."His cold, aloof attitude took Olivia by surprise."Do you not understand what I just said?"

They had clearly done more intimate things countless times before, yet at that moment, Noelle felt her wrist starting to feel uncomfortably warm.The moment Hendrix loosened his grip, she retracted her hand immediately.Hendrix said nothing. He was just waiting for her to feed him.Noelle had no choice but to comply.This time, he was very cooperative, finishing a bowl of soup quickly. Hendrix had no urgency to rest after that. He simply lay there, watching her.She ignored him and focused on packing up the food container. "I'll leave for now. Have a good rest."She turned around and left immediately, but Hendrix stopped her once more."What's the rush?" he asked. "Sit with me for a while."Noelle frowned as she gently retracted her hand. She didn't leave right away. After some hesitation, she sat by his side.Hendrix had braced himself for her rejection after pushing her limits quite substantially earlier, so he was surprised that Noelle chose to stay.She was sitting by h
