Noelle wanted to step forward, but Beatrice quickly shielded her and said, "I understand it must be painful for you to lose Seline. But ask yourselves this—was this really Noelle's fault?"I've spoken to the other witnesses. They all said the weather was bad that day, and Noelle tried to stop Seline from taking Rosie up the mountain, but Seline refused to listen. I know this is hard to accept, but the truth is—Seline should take responsibility for her own actions.""What are you saying? Are you implying that Seline deserved to die?" Marla immediately became emotional.Beatrice shook her head. "That's not what I meant. Seline was young, and anyone would feel sorry for her. But what did Noelle do wrong? It wasn't her idea to take Rosie up to the ski resort. In fact, she tried to stop Seline."And when the avalanche happened, she was even prepared to go up the mountain alone to search for them. She did everything she could, so what more do you want from her? Do you really want her to

Noelle and Hendrix stayed at Sienna Villa for another two weeks.Rosie was now old enough for school. Noelle had already chosen a kindergarten for her in Stormridge, but now, going back there was no longer an option.In the end, it was Hendrix who decided on Rosie's kindergarten—a prestigious international school in Coppersville.The school catered to students from prominent family backgrounds, with facilities and resources that far surpassed anything Noelle had previously considered.Deep down, Noelle had always known—if Rosie stayed with Hendrix, the circles and opportunities she would be exposed to were something Noelle could never match, no matter how hard she worked.In fact, everything Rosie used or wore now was the best of the best. Not too long ago, Beatrice had taken Rosie to a few social events. She hadn't been the type to enjoy such gatherings in the past, but she said it would be good to expose Rosie to different kinds of settings so that she wouldn't feel out of pla

"Didn't I tell you not to walk around barefoot?" Hendrix asked with a frown."The floor has heating," Noelle replied."That's still not okay."Noelle stared at him for a moment, then finally muttered, "Fine.""What were you looking at just now?""What have you been busy with lately?"They spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.Hendrix was momentarily stunned, then he chuckled softly.Noelle, however, frowned at him. "What are you laughing at?"Instead of answering her question, Hendrix countered with one of his own, "Do you really want to know?" Noelle hesitated, then nodded."Good. Because there's something I want to tell you, too," Hendrix said. "But I haven't washed up yet, so can you wait a while longer?""Can't you tell me first?""No."Hendrix had been so accommodating lately that Noelle had grown used to it. So, when he flat-out refused this time, she was momentarily caught off guard.By then, Hendrix had already stood up and was heading toward the bat

After Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle remained silent for a long time. Her lips were pressed together, and her expression made it seem like she was almost indifferent to his words.After waiting for a while, Hendrix reached out and pinched her cheek again. "Did you fall asleep?"Noelle couldn't help but frown at his question, but she didn't argue with him. Instead, she asked, "Did Jean really die from an infectious disease?"Hendrix was caught off guard by her question. But then, he quickly smiled and said, "Who knows? At least, that's what Dylan told everyone."Noelle fell silent again, her gaze dropping.After a moment, she suddenly remembered something. "Back then, was it you or Dylan who reported Mr. Fisher?"Hendrix went quiet at her question. His hand, which had been resting on her cheek, slowly moved to play with the hair by her ear. His touch was light, almost ticklish.Noelle couldn't help but squirm slightly. Hendrix smiled and suddenly leaned down to kiss her cheek.

Noelle stood still, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion as she looked at Marla. It seemed she didn't fully understand the meaning behind Marla's words.After a moment of eye contact, Marla looked away. "What Beatrice said last time was right. Seline's death really wasn't your fault. We're sorry for taking our anger out on you before. I hope you can forgive me."After all, Seline was my only daughter. I raised her with so much care, and now, she's just gone like this. Before she died, she didn't even have a chance to leave me a single word. I just can't accept it."Marla had intended to speak calmly to Noelle, but now, she couldn't hold back her emotions.Noelle's eyes quickly reddened. She bit her lip slowly, and after a moment, she finally found her voice. "I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry," she said with a slight bow. "And I've always wanted to thank you and to thank Seline for saving Rosie. I know I can't repay or make up for it. No matter what I do, Seline's not co
