The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 753

After Hendrix finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the line. Then, Erwin chuckled. "Hmm, that does sound interesting."

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

"What did you just say?"

"As far as the world is concerned, I'm already 'dead.' And as for the Swift family, for certain reasons, it's not exactly easy for me to do anything to them. Besides, haven't you always wanted to break into the market in this country? Well, here's your chance now, no?"

Just as Erwin was about to respond, Hendrix heard a soft knock at the door. The villagers went to bed early, and the surroundings were eerily quiet, so the sound was especially clear to Hendrix.

He immediately moved the phone away from his ear and asked, "Who is it?"

Still in work mode, his voice carried a sharp edge.

The person outside the door seemed to hear it, and the knocking stopped abruptly. But there was no response to Hendrix's question.

A frown immediately appeared on Hendrix's face. For a moment, he thought it might be someone sent by Dylan and even started looking around the room for something to use as a weapon.

But then, he heard a soft voice say, "It's me."

Hendrix froze. Then, without a second thought, he hung up on Erwin and walked to the door. After pulling back the rickety wooden latch, he opened the door. There stood Noelle, holding a bowl of soup in her hands and a thermos at her feet.

"Y-You're still up," Noelle said. She seemed a little embarrassed, biting her lips before lowering her eyes. "I didn't know if you'd eaten dinner yet, and since you don't have a stove here to cook, I made you some soup and brought hot water."
