Chapter 706 "So, you didn't manage to smooth things over with Noelle?" The voice cfrom beside Hendrix, and he turned to see Beatrice looking at him with a gleeful expression. Hendrix pressed his lips together, then reminded her, "You're my mother." "I know that, of course," Beatrice replied. "But that doesn't mean I should throw out all reason and take your side when you're in the wrong." "Is that so? And here I thought you were enjoying all the ," Hendrix said calmly.

Beatrice froze for a moment, then laughed. "Not at all. Besides, didn't I create an opportunity for you today?" Hendrix didn't respond to that. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the mother and daughter in front of him.

Noelle and Rosie were both seated on horseback, with a staff member from the equestrian club leading them in a slow circle.

"Don't worry. They'll be fine," Beatrice said, noticing how tense he was.

Hendrix simply grunted in reply. But it seemed he wasn't entirely focused on the scene before him.

"Did something happen?" Beatrice finally asked, catching on belatedly.

"No," Hendrix replied quickly.

But Beatrice wasn't convinced-a frown slowly appeared on her forehead.

Only then did Hendrix say, "It's nothing serious-just sissues at one of the subsidiary companies." "Is it going to be difficult to fix?" "Yes, I need to go there in person." As he spoke, Hendrix glanced at his watch. "I'll head straight to the airport from here. Let Noelle and Rosie stay with you for the next few days. I'll pick them up when I get back." Just as Hendrix finished speaking, his phone rang-it was his secretary, urging him to hurry to the airport.

"Now then, I'll be going," Hendrix said, his gaze lingering on Noelle.

Beatrice finally wiped the teasing smile from her face. She was about to call out to Noelle when Hendrix stopped her.

"It's okay. I'll be back in a couple of days anyway. I won't bother her since she doesn't want to seeright now." With that, Hendrix turned away.

Though he sounded as if he didn't mind, his eyes kept darting toward Noelle several times.

Unfortunately, the horse trainer had just led them in a circle. And at that moment, Noelle was facing from Hendrix, so she couldn't see him.

Hendrix pressed his lips together briefly before silencing his secretary's repeated calls and walked away.

After the round ended, Noelle asked to dismount. Although the ride had been slow and the experience of being on horseback was new, Noelle found it uncomfortable and O awkward.

Once she was down, she stretched her legs for a bit before looking around.

Beatrice knew exactly what Noelle was looking for but pretended otherwise. "What's wrong?" "Nothing," Noelle replied quickly and withdrew her gaze.

Seeing her reaction, Beatrice couldn't help but smile even more. "He said he had to go on a business trip. He left just moments ago."

"A business trip? Where to?" The question slipped out before Ndelle e could stop herself. Beatrice's smile deepened.

Noelle immediately realized she had given herself away. She didn't say anything more. She just bit her lip and looked at Beatrice. But Beatrice didn't tease her further But were si "He one heto go handle it." the subsidiary compares t "Which subsidiary?" SO
