Chapter 157 Noelle and Hendrix were already divorced .
How could there still be any contact between them ? After all , Hendrix wasnt crazy .
And with Noelle stuck in her current mess , who in their right mind would want to be associated with her ? After waiting for a few more minutes , Sandra felt her worries leaving her completely .
She glanced toward the driver and said , Lets go .
Sure .
Where to ? the driver asked briskly , but his question was met with silence .
When he glanced back curiously , he noticed her staring fixedly out the window .
Wow ! Is that a Maserati ? Fancy car for this part of town , the driver mused .
Sandra , however , didnt react .
Her eyes stayed glued to the vehicle .
She was biting her lips so hard that the skin had split , leaving a faint trace of blood .
Yet , she didnt feel the pain at all .
It couldnt be Hendrix .
It was impossible .
There was no way he would come here .
No way hed have anything to do with Noelle again .
Her gaze faltered , losing focus , and her clenched jaw suddenly slackened .
Because up ahead , the car door had opened , and out stepped Hendrix .
He carried a beautifully wrapped cake box in his hand .
Noelle had been restless the entire evening .
The tablet in front of her was powered on , yet her stylus hovered in midair , unable to make a single stroke .
When Hendrix emerged from the bathroom and walked up behind her , she didnt even notice his presence .
What are you thinking about ? he asked .
Noelle jumped , startled by the sudden question .
Her first instinct was to shield her tablet screen with her hand .
Then , frowning , she turned around .
When did you come out ? Just now , Noelle fell silent , and she quietly turned off her tablet .
Hendrix didnt seem particularly interested in what shed been working on .
Instead , he repeated his question , What were you thinking about just now ? Noelle lifted her gaze to meet his , holding his eyes for a moment before finally asking , Is it true that Mrs.
Swanson is in the hospital ? Mrs.
Swanson ? No idea .
I havent been paying attention .
As Hendrix spoke , he casually made his way to her bed and lay down , as if it were the most natural thing in the world .
Noelle frowned at his actions .
What are you doing ? Sleeping , replied Hendrix matter of factly .
Noelle froze for a moment before stepping forward .
You have so many houses .
Why dont you go stay in one of them ? Why are you slumming it out with me here ? You- Before she could finish , Hendrix suddenly reached out and yanked her onto the bed .
Noelle instinctively opened her mouth to scream , but before she could make a sound , Hendrix clamped his hand +25 BONUS Chapter 157 down over her lips .
Noelle stiffened .
Not one to back down , she bit down on his fingers without hesitation .
Hendrix hissed in pain .
What are you ? A dog ? I wouldnt have bitten you if you hadnt covered my mouth ! I was trying to stop you from getting noise complaints from the neighbors ! How would there be anything to complain about if you hadnt pulled me down like that ? she shot back.
Hendrix was momentarily at a loss for a comeback , but then he chuckled softly .
Seems like I cant win an argument with you anymore .
Thats because you know youre in the wrong , Noelle retorted .
He nodded in agreement .
Noelle was about to say something else when he suddenly leaned down and kissed her on the lips .
It was their first kiss since last time .
His kiss was as aggressive as ever , but beneath that unyielding dominance was something else a gentler , softer undercurrent .

The way his lips carefully traced hers was like the quiet ripping of spring water , pulling her under with an irresistible force .
Surrendering to the moment , Noelle slowly released her grip on his shoulders .
