Chapter 132

routside the window continued to fall. Inside, the beating was on full blast, and Noelle didn’t feel cold at
fact, she thought the room’s temperature might be too high, leaving her emotions feeling overly saturated.
It wasn’t just her. Hendrix felt the same. Only a month ago, they had been arguing. She had even resolved never to see him again in this lifetime.
She always found it so easy to forgive him. He was like persistent illness lodged in her heart. She had tried ountless times to heal it. Yet, it kept flaring up again and again.
The step he took toward her on the rooftop earlier had been enough to give her boundless courage. After all, he
someone she had loved for so many years.
No one could resist imagining being with the person they loved. What one couldn’t have would always leave regret. No one would want to live with regret.
Noelle named her head to look at the snowflakes falling softly outside, paired with the glittering night view of Sintron Everything was so beautiful, like a mirage.
It seemed close enough to touch, yet it was all an illusion. As she gazed outside, her eyes suddenly turned red. Before her tears could fall. Hendrix lowered his head and gently kissed her eyes.
The action sent a shiver through her body, and instinctively, she tightened her hold on him. Her nails grazed his skin drawing tiny beads of blood.
However, at that moment, neither of them cared about such things. It was like the final celebration before the end of the world—only a desperate entanglement could do justice to such a night.
She couldn’t remember how she eventually fell asleep, but just before she closed her eyes, she thought she heard Bend’s voice. His lips brushed against hers as he whispered, “Penny.”
That simple word, so light and fleeting, sent Noelle’s emotions soaring to their peak, her body following suit.
Penny. It was a name only Cynthia would call her.
W brought her home, Cynthia wanted to name her Penelope, hoping for Noelle to live a life of pet and happiness, but William changed it to “Luna” without consulting her.
Cha didn’t argue with him. Instead, when it was just the two of them, she called her “Penny“.
Noelle couldn’t quite remember when she had told Hendrix about this nickname. Maybe it was during a moment of tenderness or perhaps a casual mention she had made without much thought.
But this was indeed the first time she had heard him call her that name. It had been so long since anyone called her that. As she closed her eyes, tears rolled down uncontrollably.
Yer, besace she could dwell on her emotions, exhaustion overtook her, and she fell asleep.
ven she woke up, she was in a bedroom. The space beside her on the bed was already empty. If not for the marks on her body and the lingering scent in the room, she might have thought everything from the previous night was nothing more than a wild and absurd dream.
Just as she set up on the bed in a daze, her phone rang. It was Jennifer calling.

Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
