Chapter 95
Something y
Only then did Noelle realize that amiss. She slowly drew back her foot, which was just about to give Hendrix another kick in the c
crotch.
His gaze was piercingly cold, even with the mask in place. It felt as if he couldn’t wait to tear her apart piece by piece.
Noelle met his gaze for a long while. In the end, she still broke the silence as she spoke up, “Why… Why did you bring me here?”
“What’s the matter? Are you upset that I’ve ruined your plans?” He sneered.
Hendrix’s face grew stormier as his grip around her chin became tighter. It was clear that he was holding a grudge because she’d rejected his dance invitation earlier. The kick she’d just given him only added fuel to the fire.
Right now, his grip was so strong that it felt as if he was about to crush her bones.
Noelle couldn’t help but furrow her brows in pain. She was just about to push his hand away when Hendrix pinned her hands down. Then, he pushed his knee up and got right between her legs.
“You’re certainly quite popular, Ms. Swanson.” He fixed his gaze on her before he continued, “I’ve never realized that you had the talent to be a socialite.”
In the past, Noelle had always been quiet and reserved. She would only display a different kind of charm on certain
occasions.
Initially, Hendrix thought that he was the only one who could see that side of her. But that didn’t seem to be the
case now.
He felt as if he’d been tricked. To be precise, it felt as if he’d been played with.
There was a visible change in Noelle’s expression as soon as his words fell. However, she quickly covered it up with a smile. “So, in your eyes, does dancing two songs with someone make me a socialite?”
“It wouldn’t have been the same for others. But you’re different. Don’t you think that it’s inappropriate for you to smile like that at a man?” he questioned.
“What’s different about me?” she instinctively retorted.
Realization struck Noelle just as her words fell. She slowly turned her gaze toward him. “What do you mean by that?”
Hendrix didn’t answer her question. Instead, he only glanced at her with narrowed eyes.
His reaction had all but confirmed her doubts. It was exactly as Noelle had thought.
The only thing that set her apart from the others was the fact that she’d nearly been assaulted.
After William had been arrested, Noelle had overheard others saying that the reason she’d almost been assaulted was because she’d been promiscuous.
But what stayed with Noelle the most was that Hendrix had once told her that she wasn’t at fault.
They’d already been divorced then, and she no longer had any feelings for him. But his words still gave hier Immense courage. For once, she even felt as if she was no longer alone.
But now, he was reprimanding her for smiling at a man. Iturned out that the words he’d uttered back then were just a means to placate her.

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...
