Chapter 65 Maxwell said without waiting for Noelle to respond , Have you heard about it ? Im getting engaged to the Swanson family .
Noelle had just picked up her fork and taken a bite of the cake .
She slowly set her fork down at his words and nodded .
To Sandra , she replied .
I know .
I heard youve severed ties with the Swansons Maxwell lowered his gaze and said , We would have been engaged now if that didnt happen .
He laughed this time , though the smile never reached his eyes no matter how hard he tried .
The corners of his lips carried an endless bitterness .
Noelle paused momentarily before saying .
You can talk to them if you dont want to … He shook his head .
They brought me back just to squeeze every ounce of value out of me .
Ive met over a dozen people in just over 20 days .
Value ? She frowned .
Wouldnt a successful marriage alliance be a threat to them ? Why would they … He cut her off , You dont know , do you ? Gabriels crippled after the last car accident .
It means he cant have children of his own .
Do you understand the value I was talking about now ? She was at a loss for words .
The private room slowly fell into a heavy silence .
This will probably be the last time we could have a meal together .
Maxwell raised his wineglass .
I want to congratulate you , though its a bit late .
Youre finally free from them and no longer under their control .
Noelle said nothing more .
She simply raised her glass and clinked it against his .
Thank you .
Meanwhile , Sandra was also at a restaurant .
It was already 8:30 pm , but the seat across from her remained empty .
Sandra could no longer contain her unease when the waiter came in for the third time to reheat the dishes .
She intended to call Hendrix again .
However , the door to the private room opened once more before she could dial .
Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw Hendrix .
Rix ! Hendrix responded faintly , sidestepping her attempt to take his hand as he pulled out a chair and sat down .
What do you need ? His tone was rather indifferent .
Sandra was momentarily stunned before she quickly said , … I just thought it had been a while since we last met .
I just wanted to have dinner with you … He didnt reply and merely lifted his head to look at her .
She thought he must have just come from a business negotiation .
Otherwise , why would he look at her with such Intensity ? 1 … Sandra suddenly felt diffident and tightened her grip on the coffee cup before continuing , Actually , theres something I wanted to ask your opinion on .
Chapter 65 What is it ? +25 BONUS Its about my … engagement with Maxwell .

You probably already know about it , dont you ? Honestly , I dont want to get married so soon .
Im only 22 years old ! Her words brought a memory to his mind .
