Chapter 437
Noelle had actually planned to make another cup today, and she’d even mixed the colors for it. But thanks to Seline’s sudden interruption, she never got around to finishing it.
It didn’t matter, though. As long as she had something to give Hendrix for his birthday, it was enough.
Seline, clearly stir–crazy after being cooped up for days, dragged Noelle out for dinner. Afterward, she suggested going to a bar. In the end, remembering that Noelle was pregnant, they settled for a quick visit to the arcade at the mall instead.
Noelle still remembered the last time she had been at the arcade was with Clark, who she hadn’t seen in a long time. It was as if he had come and gone like the wind, leaving not a single trace behind in her life.
Only now did she realize just how big the city was. Big enough that, if someone didn’t want to see her, they could avoid her forever.
That night, Hendrix once again returned in the middle of the night.
Noelle was still awake, and as soon as she heard the sound of his car engine, she sat up in bed.
Usually, Hendrix would come straight to her room at this hour. Whether she was awake or not, he’d always wake
her to chat for a bit and then insist that she move back into his room. She had never agreed to it.
But now, almost without realizing it, she’d developed the habit of waiting for him to come home. Yet tonight, even though she waited for him to come in, he never did.
After some hesitation, she got out of bed and walked to his room.
Hendrix was already taking a shower in the bathroom.
The sound of running water made Noelle pause in her tracks. Then, her gaze fell on the suit jacket he had tossed aside.
Under the light, a long strand of light brown hair stood out clearly against the fabric.
Noelle had never dyed her hair. And all of Hendrix’s assistants and secretaries were now men.
So, this hair…
Noelle suddenly recalled the conversation she had with Seline earlier on the day. More importantly, she remembered she did know a woman with light brown hair Olivia.
Noelle didn’t know if sixth sense was a real thing. After all, she met with countless people every day, and plenty of women tried to get close to Hendrix. Yet for some reason, Olivia stood out in her memory.
So did that mean her sixth sense was being confirmed right now?
As Noelle stared at the strand of hair in a daze, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Hendrix stepped out, already dressed in a robe. Beads of water still clung to his damp hair, dripping steadily from the ends.
He was startled when he saw her. “You’re still up?”
His voice was husky, probably from just finishing his shower.
Noelle looked at him and softly hummed in response.
“Were you waiting for me? Didn’t I tell you not to wait up for me since I’d be back late tonight?” Hendrix asked,

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...
