Noelle’s wedding dress was also custom–made. It was said to be entirely hand–stitched by a top international designer.
Considering that Noelle was pregnant, the designer had thoughtfully added adjustable ribbons at the waist, allowing the fit to be easily modified to her current figure.
Diamonds were embedded into the hem. They sparkled brilliantly under the lights, like a sky full of stars.
Even though Noelle felt utterly numb inside, she couldn’t help but admire herself for a moment when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
Aside
from the photoshoot, this was the second time she had worn a wedding dress. And she was marrying the
same man.
The first time she walked toward Hendrix, her heart had been full of joy, brimming with endless anticipation and passion. To her, he had been like the bright moon in the sky–someone she longed to approach yet feared getting too close to.
So, just like the cotton candy she had craved as a child but never dared ask for, she had carefully hidden her feelings and desires.
But in the end, marriage to him had worn all of that away.
She had once thought that her ties with him would end back then. After all, in that marriage, she was the only one making an effort to get closer to him, and he had barely even responded to her.
So, it was only natural for her to believe that if she stopped trying to initiate intimacy with him, their relationship would come to an abrupt halt.
But now…
“Mrs. Freeman, the groom is here.”
A voice from the side pulled Noelle back to reality.
She didn’t say anything, merely turning around and quietly returning to sit on the bed.
Neither she nor Hendrix had invited a bridesmaid or groomsman, so there was no traditional ritual to go through.
When Hendrix entered the room, he went straight to one knee and slipped her shoes onto her feet.
In her hands was the bouquet he had just given her. The pale pink and white roses were still dewy, each bloom exquisitely delicate. Noelle glanced at them before shifting her gaze to the man kneeling before her.
He was focused on slipping her shoes on. The white suit accentuated his refined elegance, and his impeccably sculpted features were enough to outshine everything around him.
Noelle watched him, blinking unconsciously.
Hendrix finished putting on her shoes and looked
Their eyes met.
Perhaps because they had barely spoken lately, let alone faded each other so directly, Noelle suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another time.
The man before her overlapped with the Hendrix from the last wedding, causing her to slowly press her lips into a thin line.

At that moment, Hendrix reached out and scooped her up into his arms.

Countless flower petals and confetti rained down upon them in an instant, and laughter filled the
Hendrix’s lips curled slightly–a composed, effortless smile that was flawless in every way.

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...
