It took her several seconds to regain her senses. A faint smile curled at the corners of her lips. “Mr. Freeman, you think it’s too late to ask this question now?”
don’t
Hendrix narrowed his eyes slightly. He assumed she was just throwing a tantrum the first time when she brought up divorce.
He could only tolerate her whims once. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation the second time when she mentioned it.
Was it out of spite? It probably was.
However, he was even more certain that she would regret it Yet, it seemed that he was wrong now.
He had learned about her past just two days ago. Her adoptive father, William, was sentenced to prison, while her adoptive mother, Cynthia, was in a coma and lying in a hospital.
She had never mentioned any of it to him.
Only then did he realize that he might never have truly known her.
“But whatever the reason is, it doesn’t matter now.” Noelle’s voice sounded again, “You can rest assured that Liam definitely won’t be seeing me anymore after what happened tonight. The things you were worried about won’t happen, and we probably won’t meet again, either.
“We w
were once husband and wife no matter what. I wish you all the best, Mr. Freeman. May you get everything you desire.”
Noelle finished her words. Her tone and gaze carried an unmistakable sincerity.
Hendrix stared at her for a moment before he suddenly laughed. “Pull over,” he said.
She understood his intention and turned decisively without looking at him again.
He suddenly spoke just as she opened the car door, “It was not your fault for what happened back then.”
It was such a casual remark, as if it were a charitable gesture born out of pity for her. It was like tossing a crumb of sympathy to a stray kitten or puppy.
She knew he was never a kind man. However, as she had mentioned earlier, they were once husband and wife. This was the first time she had heard him say something to comfort her in all their time together.
It turned out that he did understand. He just never cared to say it.
How could he possibly not understand?
She had seen his gentleness before. It was just never meant for her.
She thought she would have been deeply moved if she had heard those words before their divorce. She might have fallen into that abyss once again without hesitation. However, it was too late now. She would never do that again.
She had finally awakened after losing herself in a dream for years.
She closed her eyes tightly and forced back the tears that threatened to fall before turning to look at him. “Thank you.”
With that, she got out of the car and closed the door without hesitation before Levi pulled away.

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...
