As soon as Hendrix reached a secluded spot, he got straight to the point and asked Noelle, "Did Nathan come to see you before? What did he say to you?"There was an urgency in his voice, and his gaze was fixed intently on Noelle.Noelle was slightly taken aback. She then frowned and said, "What are you talking about?""I'm asking you—during the time when I was in trouble, Nathan came to see you, didn't he? What did he threaten you with? It was because of what he told you, wasn't it? You were afraid it would affect me, and that's why you chose to divorce me, right?"Hendrix had tried his best to keep his voice and emotions steady, but even now, he couldn't completely suppress the slight tremor in his tone. His gaze remained locked on Noelle.He had arrived at that conclusion after thinking about it for days. It seemed like the only explanation that made sense. Yes, Nathan must have threatened Noelle back then.Otherwise, if she had truly left him for wealth and status, if she had

Deep down, Hendrix knew that it was meaningless to ask that question. After all, he had already gotten the answer from Noelle herself. Yet, he couldn't help himself. He stubbornly kept asking for an answer, seeking proof again and again that he was loved.Nathan was momentarily stunned by his question. Then, he laughed and asked, "Is this why you reached out to me?"Hendrix didn't respond, but his silence was as good as confirmation.Sensing this, Nathan laughed even louder. It was as if he had just heard the most absurd joke.After some time, he finally calmed down and said, "What do you think? You don't actually believe I forced Noelle to leave, do you? Well, I'll be straight with you, Hendrix. My conversation with Noelle back then was actually very simple."I merely had to mention the baby for her to immediately understand what I was getting at. After that, she agreed to leave without hesitation. To be honest, I had planned to use something else to threaten her, but she was so

Dylan did not show up that night, nor did he fulfill his promise to send Noelle and Rosie to the airport the next day.Seline even cursed him a few times for being irresponsible."It's fine. He probably has something really important to deal with," Noelle said."No matter how important it is, he shouldn't have just left you hanging like this! He's so unreliable. I'm definitely going to give him a piece of my mind later!" Seline's frown deepened as she spoke.After a brief pause, Noelle asked, "Do you think something happened at his company?""Like what?" Seline shot back."I don't know. That's why I'm asking you."Seline shook her head. "I haven't heard anything. Do you know something I don't?""No. I'm just worried.""About what?"Seline had been a little nervous at first, but the moment she heard what Noelle said, she relaxed instantly. "His company is already on the right track. Sure, it's not on par with some of the bigger corporations, but it's stable now."So, I'm sure

After Dylan finished speaking, he simply stood there, quietly watching Noelle.Noelle didn't respond, but her hands noticeably clenched.Noticing this, Dylan stared at her balled fists for a while before reaching out and gently taking them in his hand.Noelle glanced down at their joined hands but didn't pull away. For Dylan, this was already a huge encouragement. Without hesitation, he leaned in closer, his lips slowly moving toward hers until…"Mommy!" Rosie's voice suddenly rang out, causing the two of them to jump up in fright. Noelle, as if caught doing something wrong, immediately pushed Dylan away.Her movement was so sudden and forceful that Dylan didn't have time to react. Thus, he ended up slamming his head into the nearby cabinet with a loud thud.Noelle froze for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to check on him. "Are you okay? I'm sorry.""I'm fine." Dylan waved it off with a smile. "Don't worry. It doesn't hurt."Noelle frowned, studying him with concern.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure," Dylan replied. "But there have been a lot of issues at my company lately. It's not anything fatal, but the series of incidents makes it hard to believe it's all just a coincidence. And—"He paused, his brow furrowing slightly.Noelle looked at him. "And what?""What's more concerning is that several banks we've been working with have recently expressed their intention to terminate their partnerships with us. They've even refused to continue negotiations. I don't believe for a second that there isn't someone pressuring them to do this."What he didn't say was—in Coppersville, there were only a handful of people who could actually pull something like that off. That was because he believed Noelle could figure it out on her own.Noelle stood there, unmoving. She clenched her hands, seemingly trying to calm herself, but her teeth couldn't stop chattering.It was at this moment that Dylan asked her, "If I lose, will you be disappointed?"His ques
