Chapter 457
Rosie glanced at Noelle, then eventually shook her head. “I want to sleep with Mommy.”
So, Noelle didn’t bring it up again.

Seeing this, Seline quickly changed the topic. “Speaking of which, why didn’t you go meet that guy I introduced you to last time?”
“Why don’t you meet him yourself?” Noelle countered.
“I–I’m not interested in marriage right now.”
“And you think I am?”
Noelle’s response left Seline momentarily speechless.
In the end, she sighed and said, “I’m just worried about how hard it is for you to take care of Rosie all by yourself. Like last time–she had a fever in the middle of the night, and you held her for the entire night.
“This is ten whole hours we’re talking about, where there’s no one to even pour you a glass of water.”
“That was just a rare situation. Besides, do you really think getting married means having someone to help? More likely, you’d just end up taking care of two people instead of one.”
Seline had no argument against that. After all, the very reason she hadn’t married yet was because she didn’t trust men enough to rely on one.
But for some reason, she was fine with this for herself. Yet, seeing Noelle alone like this still made her feel indignant.
She had thought she was hiding it well. But across from her Noelle saw through her in an instant.
“Did something happen over in Coppersville?” she asked, hazarding a guess.
“Huh? What? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you hear some news or something?”
The longer Seline knew Noelle, the worse she became at hiding things from her. And now, her string of rushed denials only made her suspicion more obvious.
So, Noelle didn’t need to press any further. She simply raised an eyebrow and stared at her.
Seline struggled for a moment before finally setting down her fork and said in a resigned tone, “Fine. I’ll tell you. But don’t get upset when you hear it.”
“Mm, go on.”
“I heard Hendrix might have gotten himself a new girlfriend recently.”
The moment Seline said that, Rosie suddenly piped up from beside them, “Seline, who’s Hendrix?”
Rosie had been completely silent throughout their conversation, quietly eating her food as if she wasn’t even paying attention. But the second she heard that name, she immediately asked.
That kind of instinctive sixth sense made both Seline and Noelle freeze for a second.
Seline quickly looked at Noelle, silently asking with her eyes whether she had ever told Rosie about Hendrix. But Noelle only shook her head.

“Seline, who’s Hendrix?” Rosie asked again.
Seline finally snapped out of it and answered with a smile, Oh, he’s just a friend of mine and your mommy’s.”
“Oh,” Rosie replied quickly and went back to stuffing food into her mouth with her tiny spoon.
Noelle helped her a little before turning back to Seline. “And then?”
“What do you mean ‘and then‘? That’s all you have to say?!
Seline stared at her in disbelief.
Noelle found her reaction amusing. “What else do you want to say? It’s been over two years. It’s perfectly normal for him to have a new girlfriend.”
“Which is why you can’t lose to him! You need to get a boyfriend, too! Someone hotter and richer than him–wait, never mind about the rich part. That’s a bit tricky.
“But I just remembered. Didn’t your comic get its adaptation rights sold last month? They’re about to start filming, right? What about someone from the entertainment industry?”
