NovelEnglishChapter 78 Chapter 78 Noelle didn't want to cry.
She had learned from a young age that tears only worked on people who loved her, and Hendrix clearly didn't fall into that category. Right now, her tears would only disgust im.
Quickly, Noelle raised her hand and wiped them away.
Hendrix stood across from her, watching her movements. His brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't notice.

Noelle's voice softened even more, almost a whisper, as she said, "Sandra toldyou were at an auction. Buying her a birthday present. Is that true?" "She'd mentioned wanting it before. As for what happened to you... It was an accident," Hendrix explained. He said it as if that could even be called an explanation.
Noelle couldn't help but laugh. It was as if she had just heard the punchline to the cruelest joke. Her body trembled with laughter, and her eyes were red-rimmed. However, not a single tear fell.
"Hendrix, it wasn't an accident," she said. "Sandra pusheddown the stairs."" His brows furrowed deeply. The moment the words were uttered, he instinctively opened his mouth to deny it. But when his eyes met hers, the protest died on his lips.
"You don't believe she would, right?! Noelle asked.
"It's in the past," Hendrix finally said "In the past?" Noelle looked up. "Hendrix, that was just a lifeless piece of flesh to you, right? But to me... that was my child.
"And when you cback, you didn't even askif it hurt "Also, where were you on our wedding anniversary? What about on my birthday? Where were you then?" She unloaded all the questions she had been holding in for two years-questions that had circled endlessly in her mind. Now, she finally found the chance to voice them.
Even though... they didn't matter anymore.
Hendrix stared at her for a long moment before letting out low laugh. "Are you interrogatingnow? If you had so many questions, why didn't you ask before? Don't you think it's a little pointless to dig up old grievances now?" Noelle nodded. "You're right. It is." Before today, Noelle had never even considered asking these questions aloud. Just as Hendrix said, these things were already in the past. Bringing them up now was pointless.
She didn't want to lose her last shred of dignity by breaking down and questioning him hysterically. But she couldn't hold back anymore.

The question had been circling in her mind endlessly. If she didn't askm them, n, she felt like she might suffocate under the weight of them.
And now, Hendrix's response told her everything she needed to know.
He hadn't explained anything back then, and he wouldn't do it now. He would only say it was all pointless, "Since it's pointless, I'm leaving," Noelle finally said.
After saying that, she turned on her heel and walked forward. She had wiped her tears away, but her eyes were stilred-rimmed. She couldn't stand to look at him anymore, and she kept her head down as she made her way to the door However, Hendrix grabbed her arm.
She tried to pull away, but his grip only tightened, "This is the real reason you brought up the past, isn't it?" he asked with a low chuckle. "You think dredging all this up will change what we talked about this morning? That it won't count anymore?"
