Chapter 432 What did you just say ? Hendrix asked .
He seemed to doubt what hed heard , his voice tinged with obvious disbelief .
Noelle repeated herself .

Lets just take it as her talking nonsense , Noelle said .
Was it Jean or Dylan who said it ? Upset by the question , Noelle couldnt help but frown for a brief moment .
Didnt I just say it was Jean ? Hendrix smirked faintly , clearly not taking her words to heart .

It sounded like she was acknowledging and trusting him , but something about it didnt sit right with him .
His frown deepened .
Then , he asked her , Say I really did cheat on you , what would you do , then ? Noelle fell silent , her gaze lowering slightly as if she were seriously considering his question .
