“Noelle!” Sandra rushed up to Noelle and grabbed her hand “Noelle, are you mad at me? Mom meant well. It was my fault for accidentally hurting myself.
“Don’t worry. I’ll move out of your house. I won’t be a bother to you and Hendrix..”
“Great,” Noelle agreed without hesitation.
Matilda frowned at her response while Sandra looked surprised.
“I’ll leave now.” Without a care, Noelle removed her hand from Sandra’s grip to leave.
Sandra’s tearful voice could be heard from behind. “Mom, what do I do? Noelle probably hates me now…”
For a moment, Noelle had the urge to turn around and admit that she indeed hated Sandra, but she quickly struck down the thought. She didn’t want to be slapped by Matilda
e words.
After all, Matilda had hit her before over some
At first, Noelle could not believe that her parents would play favorites against their biological daughter. She soon realized that they felt ashamed of her past in the countryside.
They refused to accept the rural mindset of their daughter, Sandra was closer to the image of their ideal daughter -highly educated, demure, and lovable.
Noelle was nothing but a failure in the eyes of her parents.
When Noelle reached home, she saw that the Swanson family had sent some staff over to pack up Sandra’s belongings before she even had the chance to get Mabel to do so.
Noelle allowed them to proceed.
Mabel was the one who cried, “What’s going on? Why is Ms. Sandra moving out after she’s settled down here?”
The movers did not answer her questions, so she helplessly turned to Noelle for an explanation, but Noelle had retired to her bedroom.
As Noelle had missed the draft deadline by a few days, she had no choice but to lock herself in her room for the entire afternoon to work on it. It was past dinner time when she emailed out the draft.
Hendrix had not come home for dinner, but she wasn’t surprised. She was about to have dinner alone when he called.
He announced, “I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
Confused, she asked, “Where to?”
“We’re going to your parents‘.”
A bad feeling arose within her. She blurted out, “I’m not going.”
After a pause, Hendrix hung up without another word. Clearly, he was giving out an order to Noelle instead of asking for her opinion.
Noelle held her fist. She decided against going downstairs for dinner and returned to her bedroom. She stayed there and refused to open up when Hendrix’s assistant, Dan Hurley, arrived.

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👨👩👧...

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...
