The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 747

"His wife? No, this is my wife. We're going to register our marriage today. Her mother has already accepted the wedding gift!" The man's voice grew louder.

Hendrix snapped back to the present. Slowly, he turned to look at Noelle, as if waiting for her to explain. But she wouldn't even meet his gaze.

She didn't seem the least bit happy at seeing him again. Instead, she was trying to pry his fingers off her in a bid to free herself.

"Noelle," Hendrix called her name. "What are you doing?"

But she gave him no response.

Hendrix clenched his teeth, and he was about to pull her closer to question her when Noelle screamed, "Let me go!"

Her sharp voice forced Hendrix to release his grip. Noelle immediately stepped back and hid behind the man.

"See? She doesn't know you at all. So like I said, she's not your wife. I think you're just trying to take advantage of my wife because she's pretty! You might look decent on the surface, but you're nothing but a shameless scumbag!"

The man was furious. He looked as if he might charge forward and fight Hendrix at any moment.

But Hendrix didn't even spare him a glance. He simply kept his eyes fixed on Noelle.

Noelle, however, didn't dare to look at him. She kept her head down, her hands tightly gripping the man's shirt fearfully.

Hendrix stared at her in disbelief.

"Wait. There must be some misunderstanding here," Jerry quickly interjected. Then, he turned to his colleague and said, "I just heard there's an issue with this lady's identity, right? Investigate it immediately, and inform her family to come right away."
