Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Noelles grip was light , but when she tugged at Hendrix , he immediately stopped in his tracks .
Hendrix turned to look at her .
Yes ? Are you heading out ? Noelle asked .
Yeah , to the construction site .
Its not a good place for you right now .
Just stay here and rest .
But Im bored .
I want to watch a movie , she said .
Find me a tablet or a laptop to use .
Hendrix didnt respond right away .
Instead , he stood there staring at Noelle , his sharp gaze like a blade poised to pierce right through her .
Time stretched on .
Just as Noelle started to feel suffocated under his scrutiny , he finally let out a quiet chuckle and replied , Alright .
Ill get you a tablet .
He left the room and returned shortly after , handing her a tablet .
Noelle recognized it instantly .
It was the one he used all the time .
You can watch anything on here , Hendrix said while passing it to her .
The passcode is still your birthday .
But dont stare at the screen too long .
Call me if you need anything .
Okay , Noelle responded without hesitation .
Hendrix glanced at her one last time before turning and walking out .
Dan was already waiting outside .
When he noticed that Hendrix hadnt taken his tablet with him , he asked , Mr.
Freeman , dont you need your tablet ? I gave it to Noelle .
Find a new one later and transfer the data over .
Dans eyes widened .

But … that tablet has a lot of important data on it .
I know , Hendrix answered calmly .
After that , the two of them stepped into the elevator .
Just before the doors closed , Hendrix glanced once more at the tightly shut office door , then lowered his gaze .
The wedding band was still on his finger .
Time had passed , but its shine remained as striking as ever .
Yet to Hendrix , it felt almost mocking at that moment .
He knew Noelle was putting on an act .
Even though she seemed composed , Hendrix understood she was simply forcing herself to be .
She hadnt truly accepted him or the child she was carrying Her patience … Was it a prelude to retaliation ? Was getting her hands on his tablet just the first step ? Even though Hendrix was aware , he hadnt refused when she asked for it .
He knew it was a trap .
He knew the cup she was offering was poisoned .
And yet , he drank from it anyway .
He wanted to see just how far she would go .
Noelle wasnt sure if Hendrix had surveillance set up in the room , but she knew him well enough to understand that if he was handing over his tablet this easily , he had something else planned .
