The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 724

When Hendrix was working, he always carried an air of sharpness and seriousness, making him look unapproachable. Even Noelle hesitated for a moment before approaching.

Hendrix heard the movement and quickly looked over. Everything had happened so suddenly that his expression hadn't yet shifted back to normal.

It wasn't until his eyes met Noelle's that his demeanor softened slightly. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first?"

Noelle didn't answer. Instead, she placed the glass of water in front of him. "What's going on?" she asked.

Hendrix glanced at the glass of water but didn't say anything.

Noelle frowned. "Well?"

"Erwin's been arrested," Hendrix finally told her.

Noelle was confused.

"He's been staying in the country for a while," Hendrix explained slowly. "A few days ago, he even threw a party. And just last night, someone ended up dead."

A frown immediately appeared on Noelle's face. "And then?"

"The person died from an overdose."

Noelle's eyes widened. "You mean…"

Hendrix let out a faint laugh. "Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking."

Noelle fell silent, her lips pressed together as she stared at him.

As if he could read Noelle's mind, Hendrix quickly shut down any doubts. "I never touched that stuff. He's invited me before, but I know where to draw the line. And after all this time living together, you should know whether I've used it before."
