Chapter 396
Before Noelle could answer, Hendrix’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and caught the caller’s name – Erwin.
Hendrix stared at the name for a second before shifting his gaze to Noelle. Then, without another word, he turned and answered the call.
Whatever was said on the other end made his brows knit together almost instantly. He turned back to look at Noelle again.
“Is that so?” he replied. “And then? Alright. I understand.”
With that, he ended the call abruptly.
“Was that Erwin calling you just now?” he asked her.
“Yeah.”
“When did the two of you get so close?”
Noelle raised an eyebrow. “Just one phone call, and we’re ‘close‘ now?”
“He told me he’s flying into Coppersville tomorrow,” Hendrix replied, his frown deepening. “Yet, the first person he informed wasn’t me but you instead. If that doesn’t count as close, what does?”
Noelle fell silent.
Hendrix clenched his teeth, but in the end, he forced his emotions down and said, “Don’t let him fool you. He might look put–together, but he’s ruthless. And you think he’s single? Not even close. That guy has women all over the world.
“Every time he’s at a party, he’s the wildest one there. Have you forgotten? Last time, he even took you away without a word. You really shouldn’t get too close to someone like that.”
Hendrix had originally just wanted to give Noelle a simple warning. Yet, as he spoke, he somehow ended up badmouthing his friend at length.
The very behavior he used to despise the most–now, he executed it with effortless ease.
When he finally finished, Noelle merely flanked at him and let out a soft “okay“.
Her calm reaction made his heart sink even further.
“Don’t worry,” Noelle added. “I won’t meet him alone. And besides, you’re his friend. You should know better than anyone that he’s only interested in me because of my connection to you. If we were just strangers, even if I stood right in front of him and waved, he wouldn’t spare me a second glance.”
Hendrix didn’t argue with Noelle on that point.
She, on the other hand, didn’t bother with him any further and simply lowered her head to continue eating.
Even though she had promised him, Hendrix still felt worried.
The next day, when Hendrix finally saw Erwin, he immediately told him, “Stay away from the people around me.”
Erwin immediately caught on and smirked. “What’s this? Did Noelle complain to you about me?”
Hendrix remained expressionless.

“I just wanted to be friends with her. No need to be so tense is there?” Erwin teased.

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...
