hapter 472
After a night to cool down, Seline felt much calmer. She began to suspect that this whole thing might have been orchestrated by Hendrix.
Even if he was serious about getting married, why would he choose her out of all the eligible socialites in Coppersville? He knew full well about her relationship with Noelle.
So, was he doing this on purpose? Was he intentionally setting up this blind date to send a message to Noelle to make her jealous and upset?
The more Seline thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. And it was precisely because of this that she found her anger toward Hendrix vanished all of a sudden.
The next morning, Seline took her time getting ready before heading to the café.
But the moment her eyes met Hendrix’s, she realized she had overestimated him, as he looked genuinely surprised to see her. Clearly, he hadn’t expected to run into her here and had no idea that Seline was the one he was supposed to meet.
In that instant, all of Seline’s theories from the night before crumbled–Hendrix really was serious about getting married!
Her expression hardened, and her eyes turned icy as she glared at him. If looks could kill, Hendrix would have been riddled with holes by now.
But Hendrix remained composed as he took a seat across from her. “Ms. Swift, I didn’t expect it to be you.”
“Oh? Then, who did you expect?” Seline retorted with a cold smile.
Hendrix ignored her question and instead asked, “But you don’t seem surprised to see me. So, did you already know you’d be meeting me?”
“So what if I did?”
Hendrix frowned slightly at her words. Then, he said, “You’re Noelle’s friend, so let’s not waste each other’s time. Goodbye.”
With that, he stood up to leave.
Seline laughed as she watched him. “Hendrix, why don’t you just drop the act?”
In all of Coppersville, there were few who dared to address Hendrix by his name. Yet, Seline did so without hesitation. What was more, there was an edge to her tone,
“So, you don’t want to waste time just because I’m Noelle’s friend? But if it were someone else, you’d be fine with it, right? Just how much of a hurry are you in to want to get married that bad? Have you even thought about Noelle?”
“We’re already divorced,” Hendrix said calmly, still standing. “Besides, she was the one who left me, so you can hardly expect me to remain celibate for her sake.”
“I don’t want to judge what happened between you two back then, but what you’re doing now is wrong!”
“Why is it wrong?” Hendrix asked with a cold chuckle. “I gave her a choice back then, and she stubbornly chose to leave. Who’s to blame for that?”

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...
