Chapter 436
“Don’t tell me this is what you’re giving Hendrix for his birthday.”
The sudden voice startled Noelle, causing her to nearly ruin the clay she was shaping.
Seline ignored Noelle’s reaction and sat down beside her, clicking her tongue. “Isn’t that a little cheap of you? I mean, he is the high and mighty general manager of Amity Group, after all.”
“I’m just doing this for fun.”
Noelle quickly refocused on her work.
Seline clicked her tongue again.
Noelle kept her head down as she asked, “Didn’t you say you’ll be busy for these few days? So, how do you have time to come here today?”
“Yes, I’m busy, but it’s always with the same old nonsense. If it weren’t for my dad forcing me to go to those endless dinners and gatherings, I wouldn’t have gone at all. Seline leaned back in her chair as she spoke.
Noelle merely smiled in response. She wasn’t much of a talker, and with her focus on the clay, her silence wasn’t unusual. What surprised her, though, was how unusually quiet Seline was today.
Noelle stopped shaping her clay and turned to find Seline staring at her, lost in thought.
“Is there something you want to say to me?” she asked.
Seline seemed startled by her question. She quickly shook her head and said, “No. What would I have to say?”
Noelle frowned.
Seline quickly changed the topic, “By the way, I haven’t seen Hendrix around lately. Is he busy, too?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Noelle quickly turned back to her clay.
“Have you asked him what he’s been up to lately?” Seline asked again.
Noelle finally sensed something was off. “Why? Did something happen to him?”
Seline fell silent.
Noelle frowned. She was about to press further when the ceramics instructor brought out her finished piece from the morning.
“Ms. Swanson, here’s the cup you’ve made. I must say, it turned out beautifully!”
Noelle glanced at the gradient–colored cup, then turned back to Seline. “You still haven’t answered my question.”
“It’s nothing, really,” Seline said, forcing a smile. “I just heard he’s been spending a lot of time with someone recently.”
Noelle had initially thought it was something serious, but she relaxed after hearing Seline’s answer.
“Who?” she asked, about to turn back to her clay when Seline replied, “A woman.”
Noelle’s hand froze. “Oh? What woman?”
“How should I know? He’s your
your husband. You guys share the same bed every night, yet you’re asking me this?”

Seline shot back.
“Then, how do you know about this?”

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
