Chapter 407
Noelle hadn’t seen Dylan in a long time. The last time was in a café. That day, he told her he was leaving the country.
Back then, she had thought they would never cross paths again in this lifetime. Neither of them could have imagined that so much would happen afterward.
Compared to their moment of disorientation, the other two seemed completely at ease.
Jean even went so far as to introduce them to each other–as if they were meeting for the very first time.
Hendrix extended his hand toward Dylan with an air of sincerity. “Mr. Pritchett, pleasure to meet you.”

Dylan’s expression was noticeably stiff. After a brief hesitation, he finally reached out and shook Hendrix’s hand. Hendrix smiled and said, “So, you two are getting married soon as well? And on the same day as us, no less. What a coincidence!”
“Right? I thought so, too!” Jean quickly responded. “But we actually picked this date a long time ago we even sent you both an invitation. Maybe you two also thought it was an especially good date?”
As she spoke, her gaze shifted toward Noelle. The look she gave her was unmistakably mocking.
Before Noelle could respond, Hendrix spoke first, “It seems you may have misunderstood something, Ms. Fisher. Perhaps you don’t know, but Noelle and I are actually remarrying.
“This wedding is my way of making it up to her to fill in the regrets of the past. That’s why I specifically chose the same date as our first wedding.”
He smiled and continued, “So, in reality, this date was decided over two years ago.”
His words silenced Jean immediately.
However, Hendrix quickly added, “But in the end, it’s just a date. Nothing worth making a fuss over.”
“You’re right.” Jean let out a dry chuckle, but her eyes darted toward the man beside her.
Dylan sat there in silence. Clearly, he had no intention of keeping up appearances.
Just as Jean was about to say something to him, he spoke first, “I need to step out and make a call.”
With that, he stood up.
Jean barely had time to stop him before he had already walked out the door. Her amiable expression immediately vanished. “Excuse me. I’ll go check on him.”
After forcing a polite remark, she quickly got up and followed after Dylan.
Sitting there, Hendrix watched the scene unfold like an entertaining show.
With an amused smile, he said, “Looks like their relationship isn’t all that solid, either. But then again, what else can you expect from a relationship built on mutual use?”
Noelle simply lowered her gaze and took a sip of her drink,
Hendrix turned to her again. “Do you think they picked this date on purpose? Have you ever told Dylan about our previous wedding date?”
“No.” Noelle’s response came swiftly this time.

That answer clearly pleased Hendrix.
But his smile barely lasted a moment before Noelle added, “I’ve never told him about anything between us.”
That emphasis made Hendrix’s expression slowly fade.
Noelle stood up. “I’m going to the restroom.”
Hendrix remained seated, unmoving. He could guess where she was actually going, but he didn’t stop her.
Maybe he simply didn’t want to. Or maybe he wanted to give them a chance.
Maybe it wasn’t what he thought.
After all, Noelle had said it herself–she and Dylan had no contact and no ties anymore.
So, he should believe her.

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👨👩👧...

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...
