Chapter 411

Noelle remained standing there, calmly looking at Hendrix.Hendrix met her gaze for a moment longer before his smile gradually vanished. Then, in a calm voice, he said, "Alright. Let's go home."And with that, he strode forward and grabbed Noelle's hand without hesitation."Where do you think you're going?" Jean's voice rang out behind them. "Hendrix Freeman, do you really think we're that easy to bully? Do you even know who you just hit? You—""Call the police," Hendrix cut her off calmly. "And while you're at it, have the restaurant check the surveillance footage. Then, you'll understand exactly why I hit him."That indifferent attitude of his left Jean completely speechless.Hendrix didn't spare her another glance. After he finished speaking, he simply grabbed Noelle's hand and marched forward quickly—so quickly that Noelle had to half-jog just to keep up.In their rush, she hadn't taken her coat or scarf. The moment they stepped outside, the biting wind hit her, sending an i

The moment those words left Noelle's lips, Hendrix suddenly let go of her throat. He kept looking at her as he staggered several steps backward.Suddenly, he laughed."Oh, so that's how it is. Yes, I've known all along. Honestly, Noelle, your acting was never that good. I never said anything because I was willing to be deceived by you. But since you already made the choice to lie to me, why didn't you just keep lying? Why did you have to—""Because there's no need to anymore," Noelle interjected. "At this point, continuing to lie would just be ridiculous.""And am I not ridiculous now?" Hendrix's gaze bored into hers. "Why would you do this to me?""I told you—I hate you."This time, Noelle's answer was clear and absolute.Hendrix stared at her, and suddenly, a phrase surfaced in his mind—"Hate born out of love".But as he looked into her eyes, he saw no emotions in them. And that was when he understood—she didn't feel the same way about him. All that was left was pure hatred.

Finally, Noelle said, "Back in Dynalis, the last time I lowered my pride and asked you—if you had given me even the slightest chance back then, I wouldn't have become so completely cold to you. But what did you do instead? "You took Sandra on a trip there, and even worse… she ended up pregnant."At that, Noelle couldn't help but let out a laugh that dripped with mockery.Hendrix had looked utterly defeated just moments ago, but the second he heard that, his eyes snapped up. "What did you just say? Who told you her child was mine?"Noelle didn't answer.Hendrix immediately pieced it together himself. "It was Sandra, wasn't it? The day you two ran into each other in the hospital? Why didn't you ask me? I could have explai—""That won't be necessary," Noelle cut him off. "I didn't ask because I didn't care. If the baby is yours, then it's yours. What does that have to do with me?"Just like that, Hendrix was silenced. He stared at the woman in front of him and suddenly realized—he

"Noelle, you've won." Hendrix stood in front of her, his voice low and hoarse. "But what makes you think I'll let you go?"Noelle's lips curled slightly. "I never expected you to let me go. In fact, if you want to keep this marriage going, even go through the wedding, I'll play along. But let me tell you something—our life will always be like this. If you don't mind that, then neither do I."As for this child, I will love him with everything I have. But that has nothing to do with you. I'll love him simply because he is mine."…Hendrix left. The door slammed shut with a forceful bang, and the entire house fell into silence.Noelle remained standing where she was. It was only after a while that she slowly slid downward until she finally sat on the cold floor.She had thought she wouldn't feel pain. After all, she had planned for all of this. This outcome should have been within her expectations.And yet, she could still feel the slow, relentless ache radiating from her chest—lik

When Noelle woke up, the sky outside was already bright. The snowing had stopped, but inside the house, she was still alone.Noelle had thought Hendrix would come talk to her today. After all, based on her understanding of him, he was never one to drag things out for too long. The longer it dragged on, the more it would seem like he had lost.But this time, Noelle was wrong again.Hendrix didn't come back the entire day. Instead, in the evening, it was Beatrice who called Noelle, asking her to come to the villa in the outskirts.Noelle didn't know what she wanted, but she still went the next day.Perhaps it was the comfortable living environment, but Beatrice looked noticeably better than before. She had also abandoned her usual traditional and expensive outfits. Dressed in casual wear with her hair tied in a simple low ponytail, she looked much younger and more alive.In the past, Noelle had always felt that Beatrice was like a woman trapped inside a picture frame. But now, it w

Noelle slowly turned her gaze to the mango tree beside her.The sapling was only slightly taller than her now, but she could already picture it in a few years—lush, full of leaves, and heavy with fruit.But she knew she wouldn't be around to see it.The thought settled in her mind, and so she voiced it to Beatrice.Beatrice's expression visibly changed. Then, in a lowered voice, she asked, "Is there really no way to turn things around?""Mm, yeah.""But I don't think you can leave," Beatrice countered. "To be honest, the last time I gave you the chance to go, that was already your best opportunity."Noelle frowned, and she was just about to say something when Beatrice spoke again, "He's my son. I know him better than you do. No matter how strained things are between you two right now, as long as he still has an obsession with you, he won't let you go."Noelle's frown deepened."Even if all that's left between you two is hatred," Beatrice added.Noelle didn't really believe he

"Yes, but was this really an investment? This was clearly a trap! Maxwell deliberately set me up!" Craig said."Oh? If that's the case, then I suggest you call the police."As Hendrix finished speaking, the expression on Craig's face slowly faded."If you do report it, I can provide you with some evidence," Hendrix continued, handing over a stack of documents he had already prepared. Craig's expression grew even darker, his chest rising and falling violently."So, you knew all along, and yet, you just stood there, watching me walk right into it! You were waiting for this moment, weren't you?"Hendrix said nothing, but his silence spoke volumes.Craig shot to his feet and grabbed him by the collar. "Are you out of your mind? What could you possibly gain from this? And to think I trusted you! I even married Noelle off to you!"Hendrix glanced down at the hand gripping his collar before speaking again, "Losing your temper at me won't change anything. The money is gone. Even if yo

Noelle's wedding dress was also custom-made. It was said to be entirely hand-stitched by a top international designer.Considering that Noelle was pregnant, the designer had thoughtfully added adjustable ribbons at the waist, allowing the fit to be easily modified to her current figure.Diamonds were embedded into the hem. They sparkled brilliantly under the lights, like a sky full of stars.Even though Noelle felt utterly numb inside, she couldn't help but admire herself for a moment when she saw her reflection in the mirror.Aside from the photoshoot, this was the second time she had worn a wedding dress. And she was marrying the same man.The first time she walked toward Hendrix, her heart had been full of joy, brimming with endless anticipation and passion. To her, he had been like the bright moon in the sky—someone she longed to approach yet feared getting too close to.So, just like the cotton candy she had craved as a child but never dared ask for, she had carefully hidden

The figure was thin—almost frail—but carried a reckless, desperate madness.Instinct took over. The moment she lunged forward, Noelle's first reaction was to shield her abdomen.A wave of sheer terror overwhelmed her. Her mind instantly flashed back to the moment on the staircase—when Sandra had pushed her down.Back then, Sandra had worn the same frenzied smile.But this time, the pain Noelle had braced for never came. She opened her eyes, only to see Sandra had already been pinned to the ground by the bodyguards."Let go of me! Hendrix, I hate you! And Noelle, you bitch! It's all because of you! Why did you come back? This was supposed to be my wedding! All of it should have been mine! Why didn't you just die? You should be dead! All of you should be dead!"Sandra kept screaming. It all seemed to be vile and malicious curses, but Noelle had already forgotten the details.Just as Noelle was feeling relieved that she was unharmed, she suddenly heard panicked screams from the cro

When Hendrix woke up, he was in the hospital. He blinked a few times, and as his consciousness slowly returned, he suddenly remembered something.Immediately, he tried to push himself up, but a sharp, tearing pain shot through his wound. He turned even paler in the face, yet he ignored the pain and turned to look for Noelle."Mr. Freeman!"Dan noticed his movements right away and rushed over without hesitation, forcibly pressing him back down."You just woke you, so don't move. Otherwise, your wound will tear open."Hendrix didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Dan's wrist in return and asked, "Where's Noelle? Where is she? Is she hurt?""Rest assured that Mrs. Freeman is fine. She wasn't injured at all," Dan replied quickly.At those words, Hendrix finally let out a breath of relief. But soon, he frowned again and looked toward the door.That look in his eyes—the message was clear.Dan immediately understood and quickly explained, "Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman was here the w
