+25 BONUS Chapter 388 Once inside the car , Noelle said , Somethings off about Beatrice .
Hendrix gave no response .
She continued , And Im sure Grandma knows more than shes letting on .
Nathans return isnt as simple as it seems .
Still , Hendrix didnt react .
His cold , detached expression made Noelle frown .
A voice in her head told her this wasnt really her problem .
She had enough to deal with maybe it was only fair that Hendrix had his burdens .
But Beatrices look from earlier stuck with her , and the weight in her chest grew heavier .
She was about to speak again when Hendrix finally broke his silence .
His voice was quiet .

Why didnt you accept it ? The question threw Noelle off .
Gripping the steering wheel , Hendrix turned toward her .
She gave you a check and an easy way out .
Why didnt you take it ? The past few days had passed in an unsettling quiet , as though all their past conflicts had been nothing more than bad dreams .
They hadnt spoken about those two days .
Recently , Noelle had become a familiar presence at Amity Group .
More than once , people commented on how they envied her apparent closeness with Hendrix .
She heard them but felt nothing .
To her , it only proved that a lie could begin to seem real when told often enough .
But now , Hendrix seemed determined to shatter that fragile peace .
He sat in the drivers seat , one hand on the wheel , his gaze drilling into her .
There wasnt a sound inside the car , and outside , the leaves stayed perfectly still .
The silence felt almost surreal .
Noelle could almost hear the steady rhythm of their breathing .
Hendrix continued , I know youve been waiting for your chance all this time .
I used to think youd steal company secrets , but you never did .
Every time you brought me food , I expected it to be poisoned , but it never was .
I thought maybe you were just afraid of getting caught .
But tonight , she practically handed you an escape .
Why didnt you take it ? He leaned in slowly , his gaze sharp and assessing .
Noelle held his gaze .
Finally , she asked quietly , Why did you go along if you never trusted me ? What do you mean ? Hendrix asked .
You suspected I might steal your companys secret , but you still let me use your tablet .
You thought I might poison you , but you still ate the food I brought .
Why ? Suddenly , Hendrix laughed .
Because I wanted to see if youd actually do it and how .
Besides , everyone dies eventually .
If it came down to it , there were worse ways to go than at your hands .
Noelle paused , searching for words .

Hendrix went still .
What ? Youre right I still want to leave , Noelle said .
But not now , and not this way .
Beatrice is your mother , and no matter how much pain or misunderstanding stands between you , I know she still means something to you .
