FreeNovelChapter 346 GET IT NOW Chapter 346 Hendrix had noticed the scratches while getting dressed earlier. He hadn't thought much of it-after all, during Noelle's earlier phase of slapping him, he'd often walked into the office with a bright red cheek. But for sreason, being stared at by Erwin at that moment made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
"I've heard that women from your side of the world are all about being demure, virtuous, and gentle," Erwin remarked. "But your wife doesn't seem to fit that mold. So, why did you marry her?"

The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be back. We're running out of time," Erwin said, his tone unusually earnest for someone who had been partying all night.

I'll get everything set up immediately," Erwin said as he turned and pulled out his phone to make the call Hendrix took out his phone and started drafting a message to Noelle. He initially planned to inform her that he'd be busy all day and likely wouldn't return until the early hours of the next morning.

She hadn't even been curious about where he was or what he was doing.
