Hendrix's eyes snapped open. The dream had terrified him, and a cold sweat had broken out of his forehead.
He closed his eyes for a moment, and once his mind cleared, he got out of bed. As soon as he stepped out of his room, he saw Rosie.
She had already changed into a dress, her hair tied into a small braid. She sat obediently on the living room couch, holding her water cup, waiting for Noelle.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately looked up. But the moment her eyes met Hendrix's, her expression changed. Then, she quickly turned her head away.
If this had happened in the past, Hendrix might not have paid her any attention. But this time, after a brief pause, he walked over to her.
"Are you going out with your mommy?"
Hendrix had no experience talking to children. He tried his best to soften his tone, but his voice still came out stiff and awkward. In fact, it sounded more like an interrogation than a question.
Rosie turned to look at him again, studying him carefully before squeaking out a soft "yes".
"Where are you two going?" Hendrix asked.
"I don't know."
Hendrix immediately frowned. He sensed something was off, but before he could press further, Noelle emerged from her room.
She was wearing a light-colored top and a white long skirt. Her hair was tied into a low ponytail, and she had light makeup on. She had lost a lot of weight recently, and the belt around her waist emphasized just how slender she was.
Hendrix stared at her for a moment before blurting out, "Where are you going?"
Noelle paused, pulling Rosie behind her before answering, "I'm taking her out for a bit."
"Where?"

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...
