Chapter 134 When this question surfaced in Noelles mind , she suddenly thought of the couple from the Swanson family .
Facing them , she had asked herself this same question countless times .
But deep down , she had always known the answer .
No matter how many disappointments she had endured , she couldnt help but cling to hope again once those wounds healed , until they smashed her heart to the ground and crushed it completely .
Yes , what was she hoping for ? Was she hoping they would love her or that Hendrix would treat her differently ? For the past two years , she hadnt been able to warm his heart how could he possibly draw closer to her suddenly ? She had overestimated herself , or maybe she was just delusional .
It was just like the time when she was a child .
She stood outside the school gate and stared at the old man running a cotton candy stall .
On his stand were cotton candies in various colors and flavors .
At the time , she wanted so badly to have just one bite , but she had no money .
So , all she could do was stand there and watch from afar .
She did only that day after day , time and again .
She knew perfectly well that even if she stood there until nightfall , the cotton candy on the stall would never belong to her .
Yet , she still hoped for a miracle .
Perhaps Cynthia might pass by and grant her this small wish .
Perhaps the old man might suddenly have a kind heart and give her one .
The truth was , none of her fantasies ever came true .
When she watched Yvonne take Hendrixs arm and disappear from her sight , she quietly turned around .
The lunch she had prepared ended up in the trash bin .
Ironically , as she walked back to the hotel , she saw someone selling cotton candy by the roadside .
The colors were Just as vibrant , but the shapes were even more elaborate than before .
Noelle stood there watching for a long while before finally mustering the courage to buy herself one .
She bought a red one with a strawberry flavor .
The moment she took a bite , the cloying sweetness and the taste of artificial chemicals filled her mouth .
It wasnt good at all .
Standing on the street and holding that stick of cotton candy , she suddenly wondered how would her seven year- -old self have felt eating this ? She knew she would be happy , no matter how poor the taste of the cotton candy might have been .
That small joy and sense of satisfaction would have stayed with her forever .
Nevertheless , her seven year old self never got to taste that cotton candy .
The things out of reach remained forever unattainable , whether it was the cotton candy from her childhood or the love she longed for now .
Cynthia had once said she hoped Noelles life would be full and happy , but she forgot that the full moon would only appear for a single day .
The fireworks in the sky or a mirage would also be fleeting .
One wouldnt even need to reach out to touch it .
When the time came , it would simply vanish ..
Right at that moment ; on the unfamiliar streets of Sintrun , Noelle stood in one corner holding a cotton candy with tears streaming down her face .
Chapter 138 +25 BONUS Noelle couldnt remember how she got back to the hotel .
She kept her head down the entire time .
As she was about to step into the elevator , a crisp voice sounded from behind her , Ms.

Swanson .
Hearing the voice , she froze in place .
After a long pause , she stiffly turned her head .
Yvonne was standing there , smiling as she looked at her .
Shall we talk ? she asked .
Noelle didnt respond , but Yvonne acted as though they were already close friends , stepping forward and wrapping her arm around Noelles .
Lets go .
Theres a café upstairs .
