Chapter 167 It felt as though their souls had merged into one .
The neighbor had already moved out , but Noelle still didnt dare to make too loud of a sound .
When pushed to the edge , she could only bite down on Hendrixs neck .
Hendrix didnt flinch at the pain .
Instead , he gently held her chin after she was done biting him and kissed her lips .
The room remained shrouded in darkness .
They could hear the distant bursts of fireworks coming from outside , and mixed in with the sound was the ringing of a phone .
Noelle heard it , too , and immediately tried to push him away .
But Hendrix didnt stop , nor did he seem inclined to answer the phone , either .
The person on the other end of the line was persistent , and unable to take it any longer , Noelle called out to Hendrix several times .
It was only then that Hendrix finally answered the phone in annoyance .
Hello ? His voice was raspy and tinged with obvious impatience .
The person on the other end must have said something , because Hendrixs expression changed immediately .
And then ? Whats the situation now ? he asked .
After a brief moment , he said , I understand .
Ill head back right away .
He quickly hung up the phone and turned to Noelle .
Whats wrong ? asked Noelle softly .
Somethings happened at home .
I need to go back .
Oh , is it something urgent ? Kind of .
I wont know the details until I get there .
Or you could come with me ? No , thanks , Noelle answered without hesitation , prompting Hendrix to chuckle .
After that , he picked up his clothes from the floor and put them on .
Ill head back first .
I might not be back for a while , so make sure you lock the door .
Okay .
Bye , then .
With that , Hendrix turned and made his way to the door while Noelle stayed rooted in place .
As he took a few steps forward , he seemed to sense something , and so he turned back around .
Noelle instinctively clenched her hands when their eyes met .
Hendrix smiled at her once more before closing the door behind him .
With a soft click , the entire house fell into silence .
Noelle remained standing where she was .
For some reason , she couldnt shake the feeling that the house had suddenly become so much emptier .
It was strange only a short time ago , she had lived there alone , and it had never felt this hollow .
Although Hendrix had described the place as old and falling apart , she had always felt that it was truly h her home .

And recently , despite his complaints , he had gradually moved more and more of his things in .
His suits had taken up half of her wardrobe , her desk was now covered with his files , and there were two sets of toothbrushes in her bathroom .
Along with these things , what lingered even more was the mark Hendrix had left on this place .
Chapter 167 +25 BONUS For the past few weeks , he had been coming over every single night , and it was precisely because of this that Noelle now felt the apartment had become emptier in his absence .
The realization unsettled her , filling her with an unexpected sense of discomfort .
Perhaps even fear .
Back when she lived in Nivis Villa , she had always made a point to keep her belongings confined to her own room .
It was her way of ensuring that , if the time ever came , she could leave without leaving anything behind .
But now , with Hendrix blending so seamlessly into her space , she couldnt help but wonder if things continued like this , would they even be able to part ways cleanly ? The thought reminded her of something Brandon once said to her not too long ago .
At the time , he had just learned about her reconciliation with Hendrix .
His reaction had been calm , and he had simply said , To make the same mistake twice is not only embarrassing but also foolish .
