Chapter 171

At the moment, Hendrix just sighed and said, "My grandma and mom fought tonight. Do you know why?"His words made Noelle stop whatever she was doing. However, she calmed herself down and turned to him. "Oh? Why?"He looked at her. "Because my mom is dating someone."Although Noelle was already assuming this, when Hendrix told her so directly, her expressions still shifted a little.Before she could say anything, Hendrix said, "So, you've already known, haven't you?""What?""Noelle, don't try to lie to me." Hendrix remained expressionless. The way he looked at her returned to the usual sharp and cold gaze he always gave her previously.Noelle couldn't help but clench her fist.After a brief moment, she slowly nodded."When did you find out?" asked Hendrix.Noelle didn't answer him."Answer me now.""Is it important?" she countered. "Actually, I think…""Of course it's important," Hendrix cut her off and added, "So, you knew but chose to hide it from me? Do you know how s

Hendrix left, and he didn't show up at Serene Street for a few days after that night.Noelle thought she had really angered him this time. So, were things really over for them now?When this thought crossed her mind, she instinctively looked at the things in the house, and she felt… helpless.She went into the kitchen after sitting on the couch for a while. During this period of time, Noelle started cooking a lot. Her culinary skills weren't the best, but Hendrix seemed to enjoy the food prepared by her a lot. No matter how much food she cooked, he would finish it all the time.This time, Noelle made two dishes as well.When she arrived at the lobby of Amity Tower, she suddenly regretted it. After standing at the square in front of the tower for a while, she was still chickened out.However, someone suddenly called out to her, "Mrs. Freeman?"That title did not belong to her anymore, but for some reason, Noelle couldn't help but stop when she heard it.Dan walked toward her, lo

"Do you think I meant that?" Hendrix maintained a poker face.Noelle smiled. "So, are you eating this or not?"Hendrix didn't say anything and just glanced at the items beside her hand.Seeing this, Noelle said, "I brought grilled chicken and eggplant parmigiana.""Oh."Hendrix still looked emotionless, but he did not reject it. Noelle then brought the things over to him. When she put the food down, Hendrix suddenly reached out and grabbed her. She was pressed onto his lap."Noelle, I thought you were lying to me previously," Hendrix said as he bit on her shoulder, as if seeking revenge."Lie to you about what?" "Did you ever genuinely like me?"His question startled Noelle.Before she could speak, Dan's anxious voice came from the outside, "Madam Freeman, you can't go in…"The door was pushed open before Dan could finish his sentence.Beatrice was standing there angrily.Noelle struggled to get up from Hendrix's lap when she heard Dan's voice, but Beatrice was too fast

When Noelle saw Beatrice again, it was already two days later.Beatrice took the initiative to ask Noelle out to grab some coffee.Noelle didn't know what her purpose was, but she didn't refuse as well.The moment they arrived at the café, Beatrice told Noelle, "I have decided to leave Coppersville."Noelle widened her eyes in surprise when she heard that. "W-What do you mean?""I meant what I just said.""Is it because of that matter? You're angry at Hendrix…""No," replied Beatrice, and she added, "And I can tell you that the reason why I'm leaving is because he has passed the test Hendrix gave him."Noelle's pupils constricted a little when she heard what Beatrice said."So, you want to…""There are too many people in Coppersville that know us. Moreover, I've been suffocating while bearing the title of Mrs. Freeman for so many years now, and I don't want that anymore. So, we've decided to find a place where nobody knows us and live a good life there. In simpler terms, we a

But at that moment, Noelle suddenly felt that the envelope was like a hot potato, as if no place was safe enough for it.In the end, she simply pulled it out and placed it among the pile of books on her desk. It looked rather conspicuous.But when Hendrix returned that evening, he didn't seem to notice it.He seemed to be in a particularly good mood lately. After taking a shower, he walked over, closed Noelle's laptop, and then picked her up without hesitation.Since Noelle had refused to move out of the apartment, and Hendrix couldn't keep holding back forever, he had rented the room next door.Now, no one could interrupt them anymore.…That evening, Coppersville saw its first snowfall of the winter.Noelle didn't have any special feelings about snow, but Hendrix seemed to like it a lot. Otherwise, why else would he have pressed her against the window to admire the view for so long?By the end, Noelle's legs had gone weak, and with tearful eyes, she begged him repeatedly. On

The hospital at midnight carried an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.The glaring emergency light at the end of the corridor, glowing like fresh blood, tightened the knot in one's chest.To Noelle's surprise, the person sitting outside the emergency room wasn't just Dan but also Sandra. There seemed to be blood on her clothes, and her face was pale.The moment she saw Hendrix, she rushed toward him. "Rix!"It was like she had found her relief, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, "I… You're finally here. What should we do? Madam Freeman seems to be badly injured. Do you think she…"Hendrix glanced at her, then looked at Dan by his side."The accident is still under investigation, but according to the witnesses, there were no other cars at that time. Madam Freeman's car suddenly lost control." Dan sounded hesitant as he added, "Mr. Sanchez was also in the car. The doctor has announced that he has passed."Dan tried to be as indirect as possible, but Hendrix's face turned ev

Later, Dan went up to Hendrix and said something.There was no expression on Hendrix's face, and he did not respond as well."Mr. Freeman, if the rumor spreads tomorrow…""Contact someone to handle it. Also, contact Lloyd's family members." Hendrix sounded very calm, as if he was handling a very simple matter. "I'll handle the situation at Freeman Manor." With that said, he walked out. When he passed by Noelle, he thought of something and said, "I'll send you home first.""I… Should I stay the night at the hospital?"Although Noelle knew there was nothing she could do with Beatrice being in the ICU, she was scared of being alone with Hendrix now. She did not deny anything Sandra had said earlier, but she really did not know that Beatrice had made such a decision. She thought that Beatrice was really chasing after her own happiness, but now…"Follow me back." Without saying anything further, Hendrix walked forward.Noelle hesitated for a moment before following behind him."

When Sandra found Noelle, the latter had just returned from the supermarket.She was carrying bags in her hands, and the moment she saw Sandra, her grip instinctively tightened.Sandra stood on the steps, smiling brightly at her. "You're back?"Noelle didn't respond, simply meeting her gaze in silence.Sandra's smile widened. "Surprised to see me?""I just thought I'd come by to see how you're doing," Sandra said with a blink of her eyes. "Rix has been so busy lately, he probably doesn't have time for you. As your sister, and considering you're all alone here, I thought I should check in on you.""You can leave now," Noelle replied, stepping around her and continuing forward.In the past, if Sandra had seen this kind of attitude from Noelle, she would have exploded in anger. But this time, she didn't. Instead, she looked at Noelle and laughed. "Noelle, do you really think Hendrix is still here to back you up?""Have you not realized it yet? You and Rix are impossible now."San

Noelle tried calling Hendrix, but he seemed to be on the phone with someone else. Feeling helpless, she called Dan."Mr. Freeman is still in a meeting, but I think he might be too busy to see you today. What about…"Dan sounded like he was stuck in between, but Noelle immediately knew what he meant.Of course, Hendrix wasn't too busy to see her.Noelle remembered that he was busy some time ago. However, no matter how busy he was, he would still find time to see her. Sometimes, when he went on business trips, he would even come to her even if he landed in the middle of the time. Now, he didn't even want to answer any of her calls.Many thoughts crossed Noelle's mind, but she did not ask a question and just said, "Alright. Got it."With that said, she turned around and left.When the taxi asked her where to, she said, "Percy Gardens."It had been a long time since she last came here. When Hendrix criticized her place back then, he would ask her to come live with him here, but Noe

When Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle remained quiet for a long time.The door behind her had not fully closed, and the cold wind seeping in contrasted sharply with the warm air inside.Noelle couldn't tell whether her body was cold or hot. She only felt her mind was blank.After a long while, she finally found her voice. "So, you don't want to hear my explanation anymore, do you?"Hendrix looked at her. "Noelle, in this world, many things are judged by the consequences."As his words sank in, Noelle lowered her head and gave a small, bitter laugh.Result? What was the result?The consequence was that Beatrice now lay unconscious in the hospital. The consequence was that the letter, indeed, had been passed from her hands to his. The consequence was that he said there was no need for them to meet anymore.He couldn't even spare her a simple breakup.Noelle looked at him and recalled the times when they spent time together, the words he said to her, the way he gazed at her, and
