Chapter 152 Noelle had just uttered the first word when Hendrix interrupted her , Youre still inside the apartment , right ? Im downstairs .
Noelles expression instantly changed when she heard that She instinctively wanted to sneak a glance at the couple behind her , but as soon as she lifted her gaze , she saw their reflections in the mirror across from her .
Coincidentally , Beatrice happened to lift her gaze as well .
When their eyes met in the mirror , Noelle immediately calmed down .
What are you doing here ? she finally asked Hendrix .
To bring you out to eat , answered Hendrix matter of factly .
Im already in the elevator .
Wait for me in the parking lot , Noelle replied quickly , pressing the button for the first floor Beatrice stood silently behind her .
She was the first to step but when the elevator arrived at the first floor .
Her companion , seeming a bit slow to react , didnt say anything but gave Noelle a brief glance before following Beatrice out .
Noelle quickly pressed the close door button .
When she reached the parking lot and saw Hendrixs car , she finally exhaled in relief .
What do you want to eat ? asked Hendrix .
He didnt bring his driver along with him today .
He was casually resting his hand on the steering wheel while his sleeves were rolled up to reveal his toned and tanned forearms .
Noelle glanced at his forearms a few times before replying , Anything is fine .
Hendrix frowned , but he didnt press further .
Instead , he waited for Noelle to fasten her seatbelt before starting the car .
As they drove out of Percy Gardens , Noelle happened to catch sight of the two people standing by the roadside- the same two she had just seen in the elevator .
Before she could take a closer look , Hendrix seemed to notice something , so his gaze shifted toward where she was looking , too .
Noelle quickly grabbed his hand .
Why did you suddenly come here ? Hendrixs hand was still on the steering wheel , and her sudden tug almost caused him to swerve into the car next to them .
Fortunately , he managed to quickly steady the car .
Noelle , seemingly oblivious to the near mishap , continued to stare at him intently .

Hendrix glanced at her .
Am I not allowed to come ? I didnt say that .
Its just … a little unexpected .
I thought I texted you to let you know I was coming ? Noelle opened her mouth to respond but found herself unable to come up with a good counter .
By then , they had already driven out of the neighborhood , and the two people shed been so wary of were far behind them .
Noelle let out a small sigh of relief and started to loosen her grip on Hendrixs hand , ready to let go .
But before she could , Hendrix suddenly slipped his fingers through hers to lock their hands firmly together .
She froze , momentarily caught off guard .
She tried to pull her hand back , but that made him tighten his grip event more .
It was then that realization dawned on her slowly he was deliberately holding her hand .
The same sensation from last night like floating on a cloud washed over Noelle again .
The difference was that Hendrix was sitting right beside her now , and she could feel the warmth of his palm pressing against hers .
It was grounding , like her feet had finally touched solid ground .
She stared at Hendrix for a long moment before finally voicing the question that had been gnawing at her , Why ? Why what ? Why are you doing all this now ? Noelle hadnt forgotten how , when she was publicly humiliated at the auction just a few days ago , he had stood there like a stranger .
Yet last night , he had appeared out of nowhere to tell her that he couldnt marry anyone else .
Noelle understood why she herself couldnt accept another arranged marriage it was because she had loved him In the past .
But what about him ?
