Chapter 102 Noelle felt uncomfortable with Hendrixs current actions .
She was about to grab the towel from his hands when Hendrix suddenly spoke , I heard some news today .
Noelle froze , her eyes locking onto his I might have a brother I dont know about , he said calmly Noelles eyes widened .
What do you mean ? I mean my father might have an illegitimate child , Hendrix replied , his tone still eerily calm , as though he were discussing something entirely unrelated to himself .
Noelle had no idea why he was suddenly sharing this with her .
When they were married , theyd never had heart to heart conversations like this .
She rarely asked him anything personal , and Hendrix had been even more tight lipped .
Sometimes , theyd go days without seeing or speaking to each other , even under the same roof .
It was absurd for a married couple to live that way .
And yet , Hendrix was now opening up about a deeply private family matter .
Was it because she was no longer his wife , so he didnt feel the need to hide the scandal ? Noelle didnt know .
All she felt was a mixture of surprise and confusion .
How did you find out ? she finally asked .
My mother told me .
And who is this person ? I dont know .
But my mother and grandmother likely know about his existence , Hendrix said , his voice growing colder with every word .
Noelle didnt know how to respond .
Hendrix lowered his gaze , meeting her eyes , Do you pity me ? No.
Noelle forced a small , strained smile .
What right do have to pity you ? She was still bitter about what hed said to her the night before .

Hendrix could sense it but didnt comment further .
After all , he wouldnt have said those hurtful words if she hadnt gotten involved with someone else .
In a way , they were even now .
Thats enough , Noelle said , yanking the towel from his hands and standing up .
If you want to sleep here tonight , go ahead .
Ill take the couch .
With that , she turned to leave .
But before she could take a step , Hendrix grabbed her wrist and pushed her onto the bed .
Theres a bed .
Why sleep on the couch ? Noelle wanted to struggle , but the thought of the neighbors angry shouts earlier made her hesitate .
She stayed calm and stared at Hendrix in confusion .

Lets sleep together , he said gruffly .
His voice was awkward since he wasnt used to saying such things .
But his actions were as assertive as ever , leavingg Noelle no room to escape .
She continued to pry at his hands , trying to break free .
Then , Hendrix spoke again , Didnt you say earlier that your mother almost woke up ? You wouldnt want the medical team to suddenly withdraw their care , would you ? Noelle froze at his words .
Then , her hands fell limply to her sides .
She finally loosened up a little .
In a strange way , this version of Hendrix felt familiar to her At least let me dry my hair , she said finally .
To her surprise , Hendrix agreed .
She pulled his hands away , went to the cabinet to grab a hairdryer , and headed to the bathroom .
Her hair had grown longer again .
By the time she finished and stepped out of the bathroom , 20 minutes had passed .
Hendrix was already lying in her bed , sound asleep .
Noelle couldnt help but feel the irony of the situation .
This was the first time she had ever seen him sleeping .
