Chapter 303 +25 BONUS Perhaps out of guilt or nerves , Noelle found herself frowning when Hendrix didnt respond for a while .
Just as she was about to ask again , he casually gave her the verification code and the password .
He didnt even bother to ask what she needed the computer for .
She froze for a moment , but she didnt dwell on it .
After a dirt acknowledgment , she promptly hung up the call .
Then , she quickly entered the number he had given her .
The password was unfamiliar to her , and she had no idea what it signified , but she didnt ask , either .
The computer unlocked quickly .
And there , staring back at her from the desktop , was the wallpaper of their wedding photo .
Noelle was momentarily stunned , but then , she thought about his dealing with Julio and the way he always presented himself with such calculated tenderness .
The contrast struck her as utterly laughable .
So , before even attempting to locate the files she was after , she took a moment to replace his wallpaper .
Now , staring at one of the systems default scenic wallpapers , she found her mood had lightened just a bit .
But she quickly discovered another problem Hendrix had encrypted all the files .
Asking him for the computer password could be explained as needing to use it , but there was no way she could ask him for the folder passwords .
Noelle tried entering a few guesses , but they were all incorrect .
In the end , she had no choice but to give up .
There was nothing on the desk , and the bookshelf behind her was even less promising .
Noelle searched through most of it without finding anything remotely relevant .
In the end , she had no choice but to give up .
By then , night had already fallen .
Hendrix still hadnt returned , and while Noelle didnt feel like eating , she also had no desire to go to the master bedroom .
As she stepped out of the study , her gaze instinctively drifted to the room at the corner of the hallway .
The door was closed , but even so , she could easily picture the scene and layout behind it if it was still the same as when she had last been there .
Still , Noelle didnt go inside .
After staring at the door for a moment , she simply turned and headed downstairs .
Finally , she collapsed onto the couch and shut her eyes .
Noelle didnt know when Hendrix had returned .
Before opening her eyes , the first thing she became aware of was the hand resting gently against her cheek .
She tensed up instantly and quickly opened her eyes .
Hendrixs face appeared in front of her , and Noelle instinctively tried to slap him .
This time , Hendrix was faster .
He grabbed her hand before it could land .
He didnt seem angry , though .
Instead , he smiled and said , My face has already drawn enough attention today .

That red mark finally faded , and now , you want to add another ? Noelle scoffed .
Serves you right .
Who told you to scare me ? Who told you to sleep here ? What ? Am I not allowed to ? Fine .
If thats the case , Ill just go back to the hotel instead .
As soon as she finished speaking , Noelle stood up to leave , but Hendrix quickly grabbed her arm again .
His smile deepened .
Why are you in such a rush ? I was just worried you might catch a cold sleeping here .
Chanter +25 BONUS Noelle didnt respond .
She simply pried his hand off her wrist with an expressionless face .
Hendrix continued , You havent eaten yet , have you ? Ill have something sent over .
Noelle was about to decline , but a thought struck her , and her voice grew tense as she asked , How do you know I havent eaten ? Hendrixs hand , mid dialing the phone , paused .
But after a moment , he gave her a small smile .
Oh , I forgot to mention this house ? Theres actually surveillance cameras installed in every room .
