Then, she heard Hendrix’s response, Tou wouldn’t understand. You’re not one of us, and you can’t grasp deeply we value marriage and family.”

“True, I don’t. But marriage is a cage. It’s something we agreed on before. Have you forgotten? Back then, you missed out on so much fun because of it. Now that you’ve finally broken free, why did you go back?”
Hendrix simply chuckled.
”
“Or is it that your wife has something special about her that makes you willing to put up with this so–called cage?
“No. She’s just an ordinary woman. Nothing special about her.”
“I don’t believe that. If that was true, why did you choose to marry her, of all people?”
“Because I don’t want to waste time on anyone else. You said it yourself that marriage is a cage. It doesn’t matter who you’re with. I just happened to pick her. That’s all.”
Noelle didn’t listen any further. She abandoned her original plan of pushing open the door to confront Hendrix.
When she noticed the maid looking at her with curiosity, she merely smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. I’ll just wait for him outside instead.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
When Noelle finished another cup of tea, they finally finished their discussion.
Erwin was still as arrogant as before, but when he saw Noelle, his eyes landed on her for a while.
Noelle knew he was trying to find something “special” about her, not that he was interested in her. It was more like curiosity–curious of why Hendrix would marry her.
She didn’t mind. She just straightened her back and allowed him to eye her up and down.
When his gaze landed on her eyes, he narrowed them.
At that moment, Hendrix took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the business deal he came to discuss. The two men quickly shifted into work mode.
Perhaps out of caution toward Noelle, their discussion was peppered with specialized jargon, leaving her unable to understand a single word.
Eventually, she gave up trying to follow along, focusing instead on the food on her plate.
The dinner followed the standard course of a formal meal, which was long and tedious. While Noelle found the atmosphere stifling, the two men seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.
At one point, Erwin’s excitement visibly spiked as he raised his wine glass, clapped Hendrix on the shoulder, and began speaking rapidly. His emerald–green eyes gleamed with an intensity that was almost predatory, like a shark catching the scent of blood.
It was only then that Noelle belatedly understood why Hendrix had said Erwin was his friend.
Although Hendrix always presented himself as warm and humble in public, Noelle knew that, in truth, he rarely regarded others as equals. In fact, she had almost never see him interact with friends back home.

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...
