Sandra’s hands clenched into fists. “Why haven’t I heard that you two are together?”
“Maybe your sources aren’t very reliable,” Yvonne replied with a cheerful smile.
Sandra couldn’t come up with a response. She could only turn her gaze to Hendrix.
But Hendrix wasn’t paying attention. He was staring off into the distance, lost in thought. He finally snapped out of it, turning to look at her.
“Hendrix?” Sandra called his name softly.
“Didn’t you say you had something to do? You should head out,” Yvonne interjected before Hendrix could respond.
Sandra glared at Yvonne for interrupting her, but Yvonne only smiled sweetly, meeting her gaze without a care.
“Fine. I’ll be going, then,” Hendrix said bluntly before turning and walking away.
Sandra instinctively moved to follow him, but Yvonne stepped in her way. “Ms. Swanson, is there something else you need?”
“I want to talk to Hendrix. Why are you getting in the way?
“Oh, that reminds me. I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet. I heard you and Maxwell are getting engaged. Congratulations!”
Sandra’s jaw tightened, and she gritted her teeth. Her glare at Yvonne was so fierce that it could’ve set the air between them on fire. Yvonne was mocking her.
“Hendrix will never like you,” Sandra said suddenly, her voice cold.
“Oh?”
“He doesn’t like loud, annoying women,” Sandra said, lifting her chin. “And I’ve known him since we were kids. That bond is something you could never compete with.”
“Really? Then, why did he marry your sister?”
“I… He didn’t like Noelle, either,” Sandra shot back.
“True. Otherwise, why would they have divorced?” Yvonne said smoothly.
Sandra didn’t know what to say.
“But as far as I know, Noelle is very quiet. So, maybe your understanding of Hendrix isn’t as deep as you think?” Yvonne continued, still smiling.
Sandra’s forced smile vanished entirely.
“You’re a terrible actress, Ms. Swanson,” Yvonne said, her voice soft but sharp. “If you’d just openly admitted you like Hendrix, I might’ve considered you a fair competitor. But instead, you hide behind this whole ‘childhood friends‘ act. Don’t you find it disgusting?”
Sandra’s face went pale.
Without another word, Yvonne turned and walked away.
Sandra stood frozen, watching her retreating figure. Under her breath, she muttered venomously, “Bitch! She’s just like Noelle. Both of them are shameless bitches!”
Meanwhile, Noelle was staring at the man in front of her with a hint of exasperation in her eve
“I told you I’d recognize you the next time we met, Ms. Swanson!” Clark said with a bright smile.
Noelle offered him a polite smile. “Mr. Townsend.”
“My father and Brandon have already met. It seems they got along quite well,” Clark continued. “Brandon must have mentioned it to you?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up 👨👩👧...
I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
