Dylan was dressed in a beige trench coat, his short hair neat and clean, and a pair of silver–rimmed glasses rested. on the bridge of his nose. Overall, he looked elegant and refined.
He quickly walked over. “Have you been waiting long?”
Noelle sent off her message and replied, “Not really. I just got here.”
“Alright. Let’s go.” Dylan nodded, pulling his suitcase with one hand while slightly bending the other arm.
Understanding his gesture, Noelle quickly put away her phone and took his arm.
“Shall we grab dinner first?” Dylan asked.
Noelle nodded. “Sure.”
“Your voice doesn’t sound quite right,” he remarked.
Noelle coughed lightly. “Caught a cold a while back, but I’m much better now. Just a bit of a cough left.”
“I’ll get you some cough syrup later.”
“Okay.”
At Amity Group’s subsidiary company in Vinton, Hendrix was sitting in front of his desk with a poker face, staring at the photo he just received on his phone.
It was a photo of a couple, looking like a good match.
Hendrix stared at the picture and let out a laugh, as if he had just heard a funny joke. But he quickly turned off the screen and tossed the phone onto the table expressionlessly.
At that moment, Noelle’s words from the previous night suddenly echoed in his mind. She had said no one would wait for him forever.
In the past, Hendrix wouldn’t have cared about such a statement, but now, those words felt like sharp blades piercing straight into his chest:
It was painful.
The smiles in the photo, down to every subtle expression on their faces, felt like sparks igniting a wildfire that spread rapidly across his chest, its flames roaring uncontrollably.
And that emotion was…. jealousy.
At th
that moment, his phone suddenly rang again. He glanced at the caller ID but didn’t answer.
However, the caller was relentless.
By the third call, Hendrix finally picked up.
“Mr. Freeman.”
The caller had seemingly given up hope of reaching him, so when Hendrix’s voice suddenly came through, there was a noticeable pause before they quickly recovered and said with a laugh, “Apologies for disturbing you so late.
“This is Julio Garcia from Elm Group. Regarding the Continental Reach project…”
“Mr. Garcia? Perfect timing! I have a question for you.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Freeman. What is it? Is it about-”
“Does Noelle have a boyfriend now?” Hendrix interrupted him directly.
Although Dan had provided the investigation results, Hendrix wanted a definitive answer from someone close to Noelle.

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
