Hendrix felt it was unnecessary to give Noelle the last laugh, but at this moment, he couldn't control himself.

Noelle looked at him for a while before explaining, "We agreed to get married just two days ago. As for

now...

"Mr. Freeman, you're all-knowing, aren't you? You should know there's something called the breakup ex. Moreover, you've helped me a lot during this period of time, so that was compensation for you. I just wanted to make you happy for a bit."

She sounded so genuine, too.

Hendrix stared at her and couldn't help but laugh. "So just now... you just wanted to make me happy?" "Yeah, what did you expect?"

Hendrix suddenly let go of her hand, and even the gaze that seemed intent on tearing Noelle apart was lowered at this moment. He looked as if all the strength had drained from him.

Noelle initially thought he had accepted it, but in the next moment, Hendrix softly said, "I don't understand.

"What don't you understand?"

"If Dylan can help you, so can L. Why... Why did you choose him and not me?"

Hendrix had gone completely insane. He knew he had completely lost control upon saying those words. Holding his heart and dignity in his hands, he willingly offered them to be trampled.

If that was not madness, then what?

As expected, even these words failed to move Noelle.

She even chuckled lightly before saying, "No reason. It's just solely because I chose him."!

Hendrix looked at her and laughed, too. His Adam's apple bobbed, and it felt as if something metallic and bitter was surging up from his chest. Even his stomach seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, twisting in pain and discomfort.

But in the end, he didn't say anything more. After nodding slightly, he got up and walked toward the bedroom.

Before long, Noelle heard the sound of a suitcase being pulled. She didn't pay attention to him and just continued eating.

Hendrix had just peeled all the shrimp for her, but Noelle didn't touch a single one, instead forcing down several mouthfuls of plain rice.

Soon, Hendrix came out with his packed belongings.

"You can throw the remaining stuff away," he said.

Noelle just nodded in response.

Hendrix suddenly stopped in his tracks again. He was already dressed in a shirt and slacks, his sleeves rolled up to reveal forearms bulging with veins.

God knew how much he wanted, at that very moment, to turn around and wrap his hands around Noelle's neck!

Just like that... Ending it all by choking her to death!

en if it meant

Noelle was like a wolf that could never be tamed. All he wanted was for her to stay by his side. Even

cutting off pieces of his own flesh! ed her, he would have done it without hesitation.

But what did he get in return? She turned around and stabbed his back!

It was... painful-so painful that his mind went blank.

He stood there and said without turning back, "Noelle, you. You're really cruel."noveldrama

"Really?" she asked back. "Mr. Freeman, don't make it sound like you're the innocent one here."

Hendrix's expression changed once he heard her words, his eyes snapping to her sharply.

Noelle had already set her spoon down. Now, she leaned back against the couch, smiling as she looked

at him. "After all, you took advantage of me in quite a few ways, too didn't you?"
