Hendrix kept moving closer toward Noelle, leaving her no choice but to step back. But soon, her back hit the glass door of the balcony—there was nowhere left to retreat.
"You're overthinking it," Noelle said. "I didn't say anything because it's none of my business."
Hendrix finally stopped moving.
"That's between you and Ms. Rhett. It's not my place to comment or interfere," she continued. "As for the people around you and what they want, that has nothing to do with me, either. So, can you please move aside now?"
By the time Noelle finished speaking, all expression had vanished from Hendrix's face. He stared at her intently, as if trying to find some trace of emotion or crack in her composure. But there was nothing.
Noelle stood there calmly, meeting his gaze. Hendrix couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Seeing that he had nothing more to say, Noelle turned to leave, planning to walk past him.
But Hendrix quickly grabbed her arm. "Did I say you could go?"
"Let go of me." Noelle's patience had finally worn thin, and her voice turned low.
Hendrix, however, laughed. "Why should I let go? Now that Rosie's surgery is done, do you think you have no ties to me anymore? If you didn't want anything to do with me, why are you living here?"
His words caught Noelle off guard, but she quickly replied, "So, that's what led to the misunderstanding. My apologies, Mr. Freeman."
Hendrix narrowed his eyes.

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...
