“It’s exactly what you’re thinking,” Hendrix said.
But it took Noelle a moment to catch on. “What is it?”
“Hmm? Doesn’t anything come to mind when you see this photo and the timestamp?”
Noelle took a deep breath. “So, what you’re saying is that your father knew Nathan’s mother first. And the reason he married your mother was because of her looks?”
“Yes.” Hendrix’s reply was crisp and decisive.
What had once seemed absurd and far–fetched was now an undeniable truth.
Noelle opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, she fell silent.
Hendrix let out a soft chuckle. “So you see, doesn’t it make sense now? Why do Nathan and I look so alike? Turns out, our mothers were nearly identical!”
“Did Beatrice just find out?” Noelle asked softly.
“Yeah. She always knew that my dad had another family out there, but she never imagined that the woman would look so much like her. That, in the end, she was nothing more than a substitute.
“She only found out because, when my grandma wanted to bring Nathan back into the family back then, she opposed it.
“In response, my grandma told her–if those two hadn’t missed their chance back then, she never would have even had the opportunity of marrying into the family. That she was the real homewrecker in their relationship, nothing more than a thief enjoying a life that was never meant to be hers.”
His voice remained calm, but a slight furrow creased his brows.
Noelle clenched her hands instinctively. “Did your mother tell you all of this?”
“Yeah.”
“So, the two of you…”
“I suppose we’ve made peace.” Hendrix lowered his gaze, idly twisting the wedding band on his finger.
His tone was indifferent, but Noelle caught the faint trace of unease beneath it.
“I’ve already promised her that I’ll take care of everything regarding Nathan. She just needs to focus on getting better,” Hendrix added.
No wonder he was in such a good mood today.
But as those words settled, Noelle felt her own heart slowly sink.
Hendrix turned to her again. “So, are you worried about me or about her?”
He was still absentmindedly twisting the ring on his finger, but his gaze was locked onto Noelle, waiting for her
answer.
Noelle pressed her lips together, just about to respond when he suddenly spoke again.
He said, “Forget it. In the end, whatever the reason, it all comes back to me anyway. After all, if it weren’t for me, what connection would you have with my mom in the first place?”

As he spoke, his lips slowly curled into a smile.
Noelle frowned slightly but didn’t refute him.
Hendrix’s smile deepened even further.

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...
