Chapter 407
Noelle hadn’t seen Dylan in a long time. The last time was in a café. That day, he told her he was leaving the country.
Back then, she had thought they would never cross paths again in this lifetime. Neither of them could have imagined that so much would happen afterward.
Compared to their moment of disorientation, the other two seemed completely at ease.
Jean even went so far as to introduce them to each other–as if they were meeting for the very first time.
Hendrix extended his hand toward Dylan with an air of sincerity. “Mr. Pritchett, pleasure to meet you.”

Dylan’s expression was noticeably stiff. After a brief hesitation, he finally reached out and shook Hendrix’s hand. Hendrix smiled and said, “So, you two are getting married soon as well? And on the same day as us, no less. What a coincidence!”
“Right? I thought so, too!” Jean quickly responded. “But we actually picked this date a long time ago we even sent you both an invitation. Maybe you two also thought it was an especially good date?”
As she spoke, her gaze shifted toward Noelle. The look she gave her was unmistakably mocking.
Before Noelle could respond, Hendrix spoke first, “It seems you may have misunderstood something, Ms. Fisher. Perhaps you don’t know, but Noelle and I are actually remarrying.
“This wedding is my way of making it up to her to fill in the regrets of the past. That’s why I specifically chose the same date as our first wedding.”
He smiled and continued, “So, in reality, this date was decided over two years ago.”
His words silenced Jean immediately.
However, Hendrix quickly added, “But in the end, it’s just a date. Nothing worth making a fuss over.”
“You’re right.” Jean let out a dry chuckle, but her eyes darted toward the man beside her.
Dylan sat there in silence. Clearly, he had no intention of keeping up appearances.
Just as Jean was about to say something to him, he spoke first, “I need to step out and make a call.”
With that, he stood up.
Jean barely had time to stop him before he had already walked out the door. Her amiable expression immediately vanished. “Excuse me. I’ll go check on him.”
After forcing a polite remark, she quickly got up and followed after Dylan.
Sitting there, Hendrix watched the scene unfold like an entertaining show.
With an amused smile, he said, “Looks like their relationship isn’t all that solid, either. But then again, what else can you expect from a relationship built on mutual use?”
Noelle simply lowered her gaze and took a sip of her drink,
Hendrix turned to her again. “Do you think they picked this date on purpose? Have you ever told Dylan about our previous wedding date?”
“No.” Noelle’s response came swiftly this time.

That answer clearly pleased Hendrix.
But his smile barely lasted a moment before Noelle added, “I’ve never told him about anything between us.”
That emphasis made Hendrix’s expression slowly fade.
Noelle stood up. “I’m going to the restroom.”
Hendrix remained seated, unmoving. He could guess where she was actually going, but he didn’t stop her.
Maybe he simply didn’t want to. Or maybe he wanted to give them a chance.
Maybe it wasn’t what he thought.
After all, Noelle had said it herself–she and Dylan had no contact and no ties anymore.
So, he should believe her.
