Chapter 185
Noelle had had some drinks, so her face was red. But her eyes were wet.
She seemed to doubt the scene she was witnessing. She shook her head, trying to confirm she wasn’t seeing things, and only then did she call out his name, “Hendrix.
Hendrix didn’t answer, and his gaze remained emotionless much like when he had watched her in the bar earlier.
“It’s snowing,” Noelle said, seemingly unaffected by his mood, as she pointed at the sky. “Look. It’s a lot of snow. You’re right. The snow here is definitely prettier than in Coppersville. But I still prefer the snow in Coppersville.”
Noelle spoke to herself, her steps still unsteady. If not for the tight grip of his hand on her arm, she would have fallen by now.
“But Coppersville is too cold,” she added with a soft laugh, lowering her head. “Of course, it’s cold here too. This winter… It feels so long.”
Her voice trailed off, and her eyes slowly closed.
After a glance at her, Hendrix immediately bent down and picked her up in his arms.
“Rix!” Sandra had just come out and happened to witness this scene. Her face immediately changed, and without thinking, she rushed forward.
However, Seline quickly blocked her way.
“What are you doing? Move aside! Do you know who I am? Sandra gritted her teeth and looked at her.
Her expression was twisted with anger, completely different from the gentle and sweet demeanor she had shown in front of Hendrix just moments ago.
Facing her, Seline only smiled lightly and then retorted, “Do you know who I am?”
Hendrix carried Noelle away just like that.
Noelle could still hear Sandra’s frustrated voice behind them, but Hendrix showed no signs of stopping. She slowly opened her eyes again.
Under the moonlight and streetlamp’s glow, Hendrix’s face appeared somewhat gentle.
Noelle had witnessed such gentleness several times before, but she had also seen words of finality, words that severed everything between them, on this face.
Now, standing before her, she suddenly found herself unable to tell which version of him was the real one. She closed her eyes, and finally, she couldn’t hold it back any longer. She called out his name, “Hendrix.”
“Mm,” he answered.
fell her that
Though it was just a single word, it seemed to tell her that he was really here.
Noelle took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and asked him, “Is it really impossible for
Her words caused Hendrix to stop in his tracks. Then, he lowered his gaze.
Noelle’s hand, which was placed in front of his collar, couldn’t help but tighten.

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...
