Chapter 76 The two words werent unfamiliar to Noelle .
Back when she had been living at Nivis Villa , Hendrix would send her just those two words every time he needed .
something As Noelle stared at the words now , her eyes sting ; unexpectedly .
She was still staring at the screen when Levi suddenly called her .
Mrs.
Freeman , Im over on Serene Street .
The alleys too narrow to drive in Could you step out and meet the here ? Noelle pressed her lips together , staying silent .
Mrs.
Freeman ? Levi called again from the other end .
tit , Noelle finally responded .
Then , she changed her clothes and headed out .
Mrs.
Freeman ! Lavi had switched to another car a sleek , silver Porsche Panamera .
It looked glaringly out of place in the cramped , shadowy urban village .
As Noelle climbed into the car , she noticed her neighbor .
The blonde woman was standing there , biting into a popsicle , her gaze lingering on Noelle with a cryptic expression Noelle ignored her .
After Levi shut the car door for her , he walked around to the drivers seat .
Apologies , Mrs.
Freeman .
I didnt mean to trouble you .
I just heard there might be a route up ahead that the car can get through .
Next time , Ill- Hendrix and I are divorced , Noelle interrupted , correcting him , You can just call me Noelle .
It was Mr.
Freeman who asked me to pick you up , Levi replied , sidestepping her statement .
And honestly , I think Mr.
Freeman still cares about you .
Otherwise , why would he have sent me ? He added sincerely , And he was genuinely worried last night .
If you hadnt come out when you did , he probably wouldve gone upstairs to find you himself .
Noelle suddenly sensed something was off .
Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Levi .
What do you mean ? Hendrix being near the hotel last nigh wasnt a coincidence ? Of course not .
Mr.
Freeman was having dinner with Ms.
Sandra last night .
Im guessing she mentioned something about what happened to you .
You might not know this , but at that time … Levi kept talking , but Noelle couldnt hear a word he said .
She didnt even remember how the journey to Percy Gardens went .
It wasnt until the elevator doors opened and she punched in the code Hendrix had given her to unlock the door that she realized he wasnt home .
Noelle walked around the place to confirm he wasnt there .
Once she was certain , she didnt bother calling him .
Instead , she found a spot on the couch and sat down Her mind was tangled with all kinds of thoughts like invisible ropes tightening around her neck , choking her .
Just as she was struggling to unravel those ropes , Hendrix returned .
E +25 BONUS Noelle looked up at him .
Her being here , waiting for him , seemed to please Hendrix quite a bit .
H you eaten yet ? Noelle didnt respond even took the initiative to ask , Have Hendrix loosened his tie and tossed it aside , then said , Lets go .
Ill take you out to get something .
His tone was calm , but there was an unmistakable arrogance in his attitude like he was bestowing some kind of favor on her .
But Noelle just stared at him without moving .
Hendrix waited for a moment , and his brows furrowed when it became clear she wasnt I have something to ask you , Noelle finally said .

Hendrix didnt reply .
He simply stood there , waiting for her to continue .
Did Maxwell call you this afternoon ? Yeah Dont you have anything you want to ask me ? Like whether I set you up on purpose ? I know you didnt .
Hendrixs response came without a moments hesitation .
Noelle froze for a beat .
Then , unexpectedly , she laughed .
In the past , she would have felt deeply moved if he had answered her so decisively .
