Chapter 64 Noelle collapsed onto her bed and fell asleep almost instantly before she was unsurprisingly caught in a nightmare .
Half of her pillow was soaked with tears when she woke up .
The sky outside had brightened with the arrival of dawn .
She sat on the bed momentarily before she reached for her phone .
She had anticipated a flood of messages and calls .
However , there were surprisingly none .
There wasnt a trace of news online , nor even the faintest whisper within their circle , Ruth would normally have seized the chance to mock and ridicule her if she had caught wind of such a thing .
However , she hadnt made her move yet .
This could only mean that someone had suppressed the news .
The person who was capable of doing that was self evident However , Noelle immediately dismissed the thought when it crossed her mind .
After all , how could that be possible ? She couldnt think of any other explanation apart from that She kept an eye out for related rumors for the next few days but nothing about her surfaced .
Instead , she came across another piece of news that Maxwell and Sandra were getting engaged .
She couldnt help but be slightly stunned when she first saw the news .
However , it quickly made sense to her .
She had severed ties with the Swanson family .
Sandra was their only option if they wanted to pursue a marriage alliance .
Besides , the Quinlan family had previously hinted at the prospect of a marriage alliance , so their union was no surprise to everyone .
However , Noelle had learned about the news online .
Thus , she was uncertain of its authenticity .
Evelyn messaged her soon after , telling her that the printing house had completed her books .
Although her latest work had been discontinued , the publication plans for her previous two books were still on track .
She would need to sign them once the books arrived , leaving her no time to dwell on other matters .
She was about to order takeout when Maxwell called Her hand froze momentarily when she saw his name on the screen .
After all , they hadnt been in contact since she bluntly rejected him last time .
In truth , Noelle would have liked to remain friends with him .
However , it was clear that Maxwell didnt share the sentiment .
The call ended while she hesitated over whether to answer .
Noelle breathed a sigh of relief for some reason .
However , Maxwell called again soon after .
Do you have the time ? Id like to treat you to a meal , he said directly after she answered the call .
Noelle couldnt tell if it was just her imagination , but Maxwells voice carried a hint of coldness .
That tone oddly resembled Hendrixs .
Sure , she eventually agreed after a moments thought .
Chauter 64 +25 BONUS They arranged to meet at a renowned restaurant in Coppersville .
He had even reserved a private room .
The dishes had already been served by the time she arrived .
There was also a dessert in addition to a few homestyle dishes .
She couldnt help but pause briefly at the sight .
Youre here , Maxwell greeted her naturally .
Have a seat .
The table was about five feet in diameter .
It would have been excessive for her to sit across from him .
She eventually settled for a seat that was two spots away from him .
Maxwell pursed his lips slightly before he quickly rotated the dessert toward her .
This is one of their signature dishes .
Give it a try .

Okay .
Thank you , she replied politely .
Maxwell stared at her for a moment before breaking into a smile .
Whats with you ? Since when have we become so distant ? He tried to force a smile , but he knew how strained that simile was even without Noelle pointing it out .
