Chapter 318
Noelle couldn’t quite remember how she made it back to bel
For the past few hours, her sleep had been fitful, hovering between dream and reality. In her haze, she felt an odd sensation on her body–almost like a dog burrowing against her. She groggily opened her eyes, only to find that there really was someone lying on top of her.
Noticing she was awake, Hendrix didn’t bother holding back. He grabbed her calf firmly and pressed down with more force.
Noelle gritted her teeth. She couldn’t help but reach out with the aim to claw a few marks across his face. But she was too slow. Without a second thought, Hendrix caught her hand and pinned it firmly against his chest. Unable to break free, Noelle decided to just let him have his way for now.
To Hendrix, though, her passive response seemed like compliance, and it only excited him more. He flipped her around with increasing fervor.
Seizing an opening when he let his guard down, Noelle kicked him straight in the stomach.
“Can you just let me breathe for a second?” she snapped.
But Hendrix merely laughed.
Noelle thought he was completely insane. She couldn’t even be bothered to figure out what he found so amusing She simply shoved him away and went back to sleep. But Hendrix quickly pulled her into an embrace from behind.
She tried to push him off again, but he tightened his arms around her.
“We’re done,” he said. “But if you keep moving, I can’t make any promises.”
The threat worked. Coupled with the fact that she was utterly exhausted, Noelle didn’t argue further. Slowly, she let her eyes close.
Hendrix, however, couldn’t fall asleep. He looked at the woman in his arms, fully aware that her current compliance was fleeting. Once she woke up, she would look at him with those emotionless eyes of hers again.
It didn’t seem to matter what he did nothing could elicit even the smallest reaction from her. Not anger, resentment, nothing.

But Hendrix knew this was only temporary. Things would get better. Now that the bond of marriage had tied them together once again, she had no way of escape,
With that thought, Hendrix tightened his hold on her slightly.
Noelle was fast asleep, but the discomfort made her brows furrow. Seeing this, Hendrix loosened his grip just a little.
He watched her for a moment before whispering softly, “I never learned how

Could she?
Noelle was already deep in sleep, unable to give him an answer.

Hendrix gazed at her for a long moment before finally closing his eyes.
Then, he had a dream. In his dream, he found himself back at their first wedding.
Back then, Noelle’s eyes would sparkle whenever she look at him. They were filled with love, yet tinged with a

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...
