Noelle returned to Nivis Villa and found that endrix had already come back. There was an open suitcase at his feet, and he was flipping through some materials. When he heard the sound, he raised his head first.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, Noelle wasn't sure what to say.

Just as she was about to look away, Hendrix suddenly spoke up, "I'm going on a business trip." "Oh."

"Mondivera for at least a week."

"Got it."

Her response was brief. Or perhaps it could be called... dismissive.

Hendrix noticed it, of course. But he didn't get angry. After brief pause, he asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

His question caught Noelle off guard, and she instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, it seemed like Hendrix had anticipated her answer. He decisively made the decision for her. "You're coming with me."

"I'm not going."

"You don't have a choice."

"Why? Are you going to tie me to the plane?"

"Because you're my wife on paper." As Hendrix spoke, he tossed the materials into the suitcase and began adding a few of Noelle's clothes as well.

Noelle wasn't willing to engage with him and turned to walk away.

But Hendrix's voice stopped her again. "Don't think that just because I don't expose Dylan, everything's fine. I know he's been planning to immigrate recently.

"Let me be honest with you. People have already started tracing his steps. The timing of his immigration plan is too coincidental. They won't let him leave that easily."

His words made Noelle freeze in her tracks, her eyes shooting back at him.

"What do you mean? You promised you wouldn't make things difficult for him again!"

"Yes. I did promise that, but that doesn't mean I will help hem. And I'm a legal citizen. If someone comes asking about me, what should I say? After all, it's not like I'm the one who exposed him. But if I choose to hide things, doesn't that make me an accomplice?" Hendrix spoke with an innocent look in his eyes.

The way he looked at Noelle was like he was genuinely asing her this question.

Noelle clenched her jaw and said, "Hendrix, what else can you do apart from threatening me?"

"If you obey me, I wouldn't want to threaten you, too," he said.

Noelle laughed coldly. "Why should I listen to you?"

"You can still choose to refuse me now," Hendrix said. Chapter 334

She couldn't find an answer.

Hendrix smiled, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.

She was compromising for Dylan. This was exactly what Hendrix least wanted to see, yet now, he could only use this method to force her to compromise.noveldrama

He stopped smiling and turned away to continue packing his suitcase.

Noelle didn't say anything further. When he was about to leave, she quietly grabbed her documents and followed

him.

The driver stepped out of the car to take their suitcase.

When Hendrix freed his hands, he suddenly grabbed her palm tightly-

Noelle's bones ached from the pressure, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand away. But Hendrix unexpectedly pulled out a box and, before she could react, slid a ring onto her ring finger.

This was something Noelle hadn't anticipated.

They had once had wedding rings before. Not the huge, intimidating diamond from their wedding, but a simple pair of matching rings that Noelle had bought at the mall herself.
