Chapter 101 When Hendrix set his fork down , Noelle followed suit ..
You can leave now , she said bluntly , not bothering to hide her irritation .
Hendrix glanced around the small apartment before asking , Why dont you stay at Percy Gardens ? Because its not my place , Noelle replied curtly .
Hendrix studied her for a moment , then said , I could sign the property over to you .
No need .
I like it here just fine .
Her answer left Hendrix momentarily speechless , though his brows furrowed in obvious displeasure .
Is there something else you want ? Noelle pressed .
Instead of answering , Hendrix stood and said , Get me a clean towel .
Before she could react , he headed toward the bathroom .
What are you doing ? This is my house! Noelle exclaimed , rushing to block his way .
Percy Gardens is mine , and youve showered and stayed there before , Hendrix shot back .
Noelle didnt know what else to say .
By then , Hendrix had already opened the bathroom door .
His expression tightened at the sight .
He had expected that there wasnt a bathtub , but there wasnt even a proper shower stall .
It was just a curtain separating the toilet , sink , and showerhead .
This was a stark contrast to what he was used to .
Mr.
Freeman , someone like you doesnt belong here , Noelle said , her tone laced with sarcasm .

Hendrix turned to look at her and found her staring back at him with a mocking smile .
Her expression only deepened the crease in his brow .
But then , to her surprise , he let out a short laugh .
Its not ideal , Ill admit .
But with the right company , it might not be so bad .
What are you … Before Noelle could finish , Hendrix grabbed her and pulled her into the tiny bathroom ..
He quickly turned on the shower so she couldnt escape .
Cold water poured down on them , soaking Noelles hair and clothes in seconds .
What are you doing ? Noelle shrieked .
Hendrix ignored her protests , adjusting the showerhead to the side as he reached for her clothes .
Flashes of the previous nights events surged back into Nodles mind .
She still remembered the look on his face .
It was emotionless and devoid of any warmth .
He was like a machine built for release and nothing else .
Shed genuinely believed she might die under him that night .
Even now , her body ached faintly from the ordeal .
So , as Hendrixs hands moved toward her again , she instinctively recoiled , her voice trembling .
Stop it , Hendrix , please .
I ..
Her plea was cut off by loud banging on the wall from the apartment next door .

Hendrix froze , the sharp edge of his temper flashing across his face .
Whatever faint amusement hed felt moments ago was gone .
He turned to look at Noelle .
She didnt say a word , just turned and tried to leave the bathroom .
But Hendrix caught her wrist , pulling her back .
Youre going out there like this ? Youll catch a cold , he said , his voice low as he peeled off her clothes .
Noelle didnt dare to speak , though her hands instinctively tried to push him away .
To her surprise , Hendrix didnt go any further .
He simply took a shower .
Theyd showered together before , but this was different .
For the first time , Hendrix did nothing but took a bath .
Afterward , he picked her up and carried her out of the bathroom .
Sitting her down , he gently dried her hair with a towel .
