Chapter 324
Noelle couldn’t snap out of it. Maybe it was because of the address, “sister–in–law“, or maybe because of his name.
-Nathan Freeman.
So… he was Gerald’s illegitimate son? How could he be here?
Countless thoughts flooded Noelle’s mind until Grant came over and said, “Mr. Nathan, what are you doing here?”
Mr. Nathan…
Noelle’s suspicions were confirmed, but her thoughts became even more jumbled up. At this point, why did the Freeman family bring Nathan back? Was there a change in the internal circle of Amity Group?
Before Noelle could find an answer, Grant had already take Nathan away..
Before leaving, Nathan smiled at Noelle.
Noelle furrowed her brows even tighter. She stood there for a moment longer before realizing she still hadn’t
called Hendrix.
→ Hendrix picked up quickly, but as soon as she heard his voice, Noelle suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He seemed impatient. “What’s the matter?”
“I’m at Freeman Manor.”
Noelle was familiar with his tone. If things went as usual, he would hang up the phone in the next moment. So, she hurriedly spoke before he could hang up, “Grandma said we should come over for dinner together. If you’re free… you can come.”
Hendrix didn’t respond.
Then, Noelle added, “There’s a guest here, so you should be mentally prepared.”
To Hendrix, her reminder seemed a bit strange. Perhaps it was his imagination, but Noelle’s words seemed to carry a hint of… tenderness.
Hendrix hadn’t received such an emotional response from her in a long time. Suddenly, the anger that had been stirring in him for an entire day and night was somewhat soothed, even putting a pause on his plan to deal with Dylan.
As for the “guest” she mentioned, Hendrix didn’t really pay attention to it. After a while, he finally stood up from his desk and walked out.
Dan looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Freeman, where are you going?”
Hendrix raised an eyebrow, and Dan quickly realized that his question was inappropriate. He hurriedly explained, “Mr. Mueller had scheduled dinner with you tonight. So, I thought you might…
“Cancel it,” Hendrix said without a second thought as he entered the elevator.
After the summer solstice, the nights had been getting darker earlier. It was only around 6:00 pm, yet the streetlights had been turned on. The air still carried the heat that hadn’t dissipated from the day.
Hendrix held the steering wheel with one hand, while his other hand pulled off his tie. After turning a few streets, Freeman Manor finally came into view.
Grant was already waiting at the door. As soon as he saw Hendrix’s car, he approached him. “Mr. Hendrix, you’re back”

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...
