When Hendrix returned, Noelle was still engrossed in the files on her computer—so much so she didn't even notice he had come back.
"What are you looking at?" Hendrix whispered into her ear.
Startled, she instinctively moved to block the screen before turning to ask, "How do you walk without making any sound?"
Hendrix glanced at her computer screen. There was nothing scandalous—just some of her past work, things he had already seen.
He had even bought all of her published works. For a while, anyone entering his office would spot, amid stacks of documents, a few brightly colored comic books on his desk.
The covers featured intimate poses between a man and a woman. Normally, this wouldn't be noteworthy, but paired with Hendrix's image, the contrast was jarring.
He knew what people whispered behind his back, but he simply ignored them.
Now, with just one look at her screen, he could pinpoint exactly where the story had progressed. Oh, the male lead was about to kneel in the rain to beg for forgiveness.
In all honesty, Hendrix didn't fully grasp the logic or tropes of her comic. To him, the characters seemed unhinged.
However, he read the comments about her work online, and it seemed like people really loved it. And during the years she was away from him, this series had afforded her a comfortable life.
Thus, Hendrix understood that some things in this world exist for a reason. This was her profession, and he shouldn't question it.
He almost asked why she felt the need to hide it. After all, her work was public and was even adapted into other media. So, what was the point of covering it now?
But when his gaze landed on her face, his expression vanished. His hand shot up, gripping her chin.
"What—"

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...
