“If I really left the way Beatrice planned, wouldn’t that be betraying you twice over?” Noelle asked. “And Nathan is still keeping an eye on you. I can’t just walk away and leave you to handle all of this alone. So, even if I have to go, it won’t be now.”
She got it all out in one breath, her gaze steady on Hendrix. Her eyes weren’t filled with burning intensity. Rather, they held a quiet resolve and sincerity.
Hendrix held her gaze for a beat before suddenly smiling. This time, it was real. His lips curled upward, drawing his cheeks and eyes into a brilliant expression that made his face even more striking.
Noelle’s eyes flickered involuntarily at the sight.
Without warning, Hendrix cupped her chin and leaned in to kiss her. In the closed space of the car, his gentle, lingering kiss made the winter air feel warm and comforting. He meant to kiss her fully.
Though they had been on good terms lately, there had been no further intimacy. Noelle’s words echoed in his mind, swelling inside him like a balloon expanding in his chest, filling every inch of his heart.
He knew she might still be deceiving him, but that no longer held any significance. When she decided to stay, it didn’t matter if it was because she didn’t want him to face everything alone.
Hendrix had always been convinced that the outcome was the only thing that counted, and the outcome was that she stayed. That was all he needed.
The more he dwelled on it, the more his emotions spiraled out of control.
Noelle’s breathing turned shallow. A faint crease formed between her brows as she pressed a hand to his chest, urging him back.
Hendrix got the message and slowly pulled away–but he stayed close. His forehead came to rest against hers, their faces inches apart. The heat of his presence made her glance down.
Then, unexpectedly, his fingers brushed her cheek. The gentle contact sent a shiver down her spine.
She quickly turned away, saying, “I’m hungry.”
“Okay. Let’s grab some food,” Hendrix replied immediately
He pulled back and started the car.
“About Beatrice…” Noelle began, but her words faltered.
“I’ll have someone look into it,” Hendrix said.
Noelle gave a small hum in reply.
“Want some cake?” Hendrix asked.
“No.”
“Why not? You don’t like it anymore?”
“I liked it every now and then. Nobody eats cake every day,” Noelle said with a frown.
That was when it seemed to click for Hendrix.

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...
