The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 146 Chapter 146

For some reason, Hendrix found himself at Serene Street. Gripping his steering wheel, he glanced at the winding alleys ahead a few times but ultimately didn't get out of the car. Instead, he turned the car around.

Soon, he saw Noelle. She was walking out of a pharmacy with her hands in her pockets, eyes lowered, and head bowed

The temperature in the city was very low today, so she was dressed in a black down jacket. She looked very soft and serene with her hair falling over her shoulders and the tip of her nose slightly red.

As Hendrix watched her, he suddenly recalled what Beatrice had said to him earlier tonight. Indeed, he had no intention of using his marriage to gain anything, but back when the two families met to discuss his and Noelle's marriage, Hendrix didn't feel much resistance to the idea.

He had always thought it was Beatrice's words that had stirred something in him. So he figured, why not fulfill Gerald's dying wish if marrying anyone was the same to him? But now, it seemed he might have been wrong. So, did he actually like Noelle?

Hendrix stared at her back for a moment before finally deciding to get out of the car. But in the next moment, Saw Brandon running up from behind her. The two seemed to be arguing about something. Brandon tried to take something from Noelle's hand, but she dodged him. He could only pull back his hand, gritting his teeth as he stared at her.

"I can handle it myself!" said Noelle before turning and walking away.
