Dylan went on, "Later, we got together. We were going to get married. But then Hendrix used underhanded tactics to target my company, and you chose to go back to him because you didn't want to drag me down.
"And I don't think he even loves you. The only reason he's so obsessed with keeping you is because he can't stand losing. It's just possessiveness. He—"
Dylan never got to finish. Someone slammed into him from behind, shoving him hard enough that he staggered back several steps before crashing to the floor.
But he barely registered the pain. Slowly, he lifted his head.
Hendrix stood shielding Noelle, his expression thunderous.
Instead of responding with anger, Dylan laughed softly. "There's no need to get so worked up, Mr. Freeman. I was just so happy to see Noelle that I might have let something slip out of excitement. Or are you feeling guilty about something?"
Hendrix didn't dignify that with a response. He didn't even spare Dylan another glance. Instead, he just grabbed Noelle's hand and pulled her away.
His strides were long, and his pace was fast. Noelle had to half-jog to keep up. But soon, she turned back to look at Dylan.
He was already back on his feet, watching her. That look seemed to tell her to think carefully about what he had just said.
Noelle didn't respond, but her frown deepened.
Dylan simply smiled at her.
Noelle seemed like she was about to give him a response, but before she could, Hendrix quickly noticed what she was about to do. Without hesitation, he pulled her firmly into his arms, cutting off her line of sight from Dylan completely.
Before Noelle could process what had happened, Hendrix asked her, "What did he say to you?"
She turned her head, locking eyes with him for a moment before asking in return, "Do I know him?"
Hendrix frowned.

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...
