NovelEnglishChapter 81 Chapter 81 For the next few days, Hendrix didn't reach out to her, but Noelle kept receiving cakes from different dessert shops every day.
And not just one cake at a time.
At first, Noelle tried to refuse them, but the delivery people wouldn't even give her the chance. They would simply tell her their task was to deliver the cake, and whatever she chose to do with it was up to her.
With no other choice, Noelle reluctantly accepted the cakes After days of eating them, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She called Hendrix. "Stop sendingcakes." "Why? I thought you liked them." Hendrix sounded unusually cheerful, with a laugh barely contained in his voice. Noelle felt like he was doing it on purpose.
She liked them, right? So, he would just keep sending them until she threw up.

Hendrix had intended to say more, but he was taken aback for a moment when he heard the click of the call ending. He checked the phone, confirming she had actually hung up.
And then, he couldn't help but laugh. This time, it was laughter out of frustration.
He thought Noelle's temper was really starting to show, or maybe it had always been like this, and she had just stopped pretending around him.
But in a way, he supposed it was a good thing. It was better than how lifeless she used to be.
Just as Hendrix was reflecting on this, there was a knock at the door.
"Mr. Freeman, you mentioned wantingto keep an eye on the auction for Mr. York's painting. It's scheduled for the end of the month in the city of Zenvora," Dan said, placing an invitation on Hendrix's desk. Hendrix hummed in response.
Dan wasn't in a hurry to leave. He simply stood there, staring at Hendrix.
Hendrix raised an eyebrow. "Is there something else?" "Someone from Freeman Manor called. They said they couldn't reach you on your phone. They want you to cfor dinner tomorrow night." "I got it." After getting a reply from Hendrix, Dan seemed to finally relax and turned to leave.
Once the door closed behind him, Hendrix quickly sent Noelle a message. Originally, he had planned to ask her to meet at Percy Gardens tonight. But before he hit send, he changed his mind. Instead, he grabbed his keys and stood up.
This was Hendrix's second tcoming to Serene Street.

A voice from nearby laughed, probably the little girl's mother, m "Noelle don't give her any more. Drain't you see that her face has gotten even rounder?"
Hendrix realized then that all the cakes he had delivered were being eaten by that little girl. He didn't say anything. Instead, he honked the horn. Noelle turned to look at him, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Hendrix sat in the car, waiting for her to approach.
Without any other choice, Noelle exchanged a few words with them mother and daughter pair in front of her, then approached the car and got in. Neither of them spoke at first. But after they had driven sdistance, Noelle couldn't hold back any longer. "Where are you taking me?" she asked.
"To eat." Noelle glanced at the place where Hendrix had parked, her face blank. "I'm dressed like this. Are you want to taketo a fancy restaurant?" Only then did Hendrix realize what she meant.
He didn't get angry. Instead, he turned to her and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
