Chapter 150 Hendrixs voice remained cold , but his grip on Noelles wrist tightened .
His actions gave Noelle an unsettling feeling , as if one wrong answer from her was enough reason for him to crush her bones .
Its not that I dont want to see you , replied Noelle .
Hendrix didnt respond immediately .
Instead , he lifted his gaze to meet hers .
Its just … I dont see the need to .
Noelle pressed her lips together .
We- Why did you marry me in the first place ? interrupted Hendrix .
Noelle hadnt expected the question .
The suddenness of it caused her expression to change , but she quickly regained her composure .
It was something our families decided .
Was that really the only reason ? What other reason could there be ? Hendrix fell silent , but his grip on her wrist loosened every so slightly .
Noelle initially thought the conversation had come to an end , but the next moment , Hendrix spoke again , his voice calm but deliberate , Noelle , based on your ability to sever ties with the Swanson family , you dont seem like someone who would let them control you .
Because if that were truly the case , you would have married Liam months ago .
Hendrixs eyes locked onto Noelles .
The intensity of his gaze made Noelles heart skip a beat , but she quickly looked away .
I … I just didnt want to be controlled by them anymore .
Is that so ? Why else could it be ? I thought it was because you liked me .
Hendrixs reply was like a punch to Noelles chest , shocking her .
An intense tremor and pain coursed through her , leaving her gasping for breath as her muscles tightened .
When she finally lifted her eyes , she found herself staring directly into Hendrixs mocking gaze .
At that moment , Noelle felt like nothing more than a fool .
I was as though she had been stripped bare and pushed onto a stage , hoping that no one would find out who she was if she just kept her hands over her face .
But in the end , her hands were ripped from her face , leaving her completely exposed under the harsh lights and , in that moment , she became nothing more than a joke .
Noelles hand tightened into a fist .
After a long silence , she finally found her voice to ask Hendrix , Why do you say that ? I was just making a guess .
Sandras words made me believe that you and Maxwell share a deep bond , but after tonight , it seems thats not quite the case .
And it just so happened that someone reminded me today if you truly didnt want to marry me , you would have resisted it with everything you had .
But you didnt .
So , would it be so wrong to say that you were actually looking forward to it ? Hendrixs voice grew increasingly certain as he spoke , and his expression seemed to carry a hint of smugness .

So what ? Do you find this theory of yours satisfying ? Hendrix narrowed his eyes .
Yes .
