Chapter 297 Now that Noelle had withered and faded away , any belated attention and care were meaningless .
She was about to close her eyes again , but in the next moment , something on the dressing table caught her attention .
If she wasnt mistaken , the set of skincare products sitting there was from her usual brand .
Then , her gaze shifted to the curtain ties on the bay window , followed by the glass doors of the walk in closet across the room .
Through the transparent panels , she spotted clothes that looked all too familiar .
It was at that moment Noelle realized he had brought over all the things she had once left behind here .
But the truth was , those items werent really hers .
The clothes had been the ones Beatrice insisted she buy, so she could live up to the title of Mrs.
Freeman whenever she stepped out .
They werent bought with her own money , which was why Noelle hadnt taken them when she left .
As for the skincare products , they were probably expired by now .
Just as Noelles thoughts wandered , the sound of running water in the bathroom stopped .
She immediately stopped thinking and shut her eyes tightly .
In the darkness , she could hear Hendrixs deliberate footsteps approaching , followed by the sound of him settling down beside her .
He carried the clean , fresh scent of a shower , and his arm wrapped firmly around her waist .
As he pulled closer , their skin pressed tightly together .
But it seemed he didnt think it was enough .
His arm tightened even more , as if he wanted to fuse Noelles entire being into this .
This time , Noelle truly felt like she couldnt breathe the pressure was almost painful .
Unable to bear it , she dug her nails into the back of his hand and snapped , Let go ! It hurts ! Her voice carried a clear edge of gritted teeth .
Hendrix , of course , noticed it .
He didnt say anything , only letting out a soft chuckle before loosening his grip slightly .
Even so , he remained pressed against her , and from time to time , his lips would brush against her skin .
Noelle wanted to ask if he was some kind of dog .
But then , she remembered the slap shed given him earlier and how hed almost seemed pleased by it .
In the end , she swallowed the words back down .
What she could confirm now was simple Hendrix had completely dropped the facade .

And there was no way a normal person could reason with a lunatic .
So , there was no need for any communication between them .
Having reached that conclusion , Noelle simply shut her eyes and tried to sleep .
Ironically , despite their two year long marriage , she had never once spent a full night in this bedroom .
She had thought she would struggle to fall asleep .
Perhaps because of the exhaustion from not sleeping the previous night , combined with the emotional tension of the day , she quickly drifted into a deep sleep once she closed her eyes .
She had a strange dream .
In the dream , she found herself in an unfamiliar place .
There was nothing around her , and she sat alone on the cold floor .
Noelle wanted to stand up and move forward , but as soon as she tried , she realized there was something strange on her legs .
Looking down , she was horrified to see that her hands and feet were bound tightly with heavy iron chains .
She +25 BONUS Chapter 297 nearly jumped out of her skin , panic surging through her as she began to tug and pull at the chains with all her might .
But the more she struggled , the tighter the iron chains wrapped around her .
Her breathing grew labored , and her hands and feet thrashed desperately .
Just then , Hendrixs voice cut through the air , Penny .
The long forgotten nickname jolted Noelle awake .
Her eyes snapped open , and when she saw the face in front of her , she didnt hesitate her hand flew up , delivering another sharp slap .
