The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 107
Chapter 107
Inside Percy Gardens, Hendrix sat in his study, scanning emails on the screen as his fingers drummed lightly on the phone beside him.
Notifications kept popping up on his feed, but he only glanced at them, uninterested.
It was past 11:00 pm when the front door creaked open.
Hendrix stopped tapping on his phone but didn’t get up. Instead, he turned off his screen with an unreadable expression.
Noelle moved quietly, her steps barely making a sound. She checked his bedroom first, but when she found it empty, she headed to the study.
The door was closed, and she stood outside for a while, not making a move.
Hendrix ignored her, his face blank as he looked at the computer screen.
Two minutes passed before she finally knocked.
However, Hendrix didn’t respond. After a brief hesitation, Noelle turned the handle and opened the door.
“You’re… still working?” she asked softly, standing in the doorway.
Hendrix finally looked up.
Noelle had just showered, her damp hair clinging to her neck. She twisted her fingers nervously as she hesitat by the door.
“I didn’t see your message until just now,” she said quickly, “I came over as soon as I did. Sorry…
When Hendrix didn’t tell her to leave, Noelle cautiously stepped closer to him. However, she kept her distance, stopping a few feet from his desk, her eyes intentionally avoiding the screen.
The silence stretched between them.
Hendrix waited a little longer, but soon, his patience wore thin. In one smooth motion, he pulled her onto his lap
“Where did you go?” He lowered his gaze to her, his expression unreadable, but the intensity of his stare made Noelle feel exposed, unable to escape it.
“I…I just went for a walk,” she stammered.
“Alone?”
“No, with a friend…”
“What friend?”
Noelle hesitated. She wasn’t sure why he was suddenly so curious. He’d never asked about her personal life before
not that she had much of one. Yet, she knew better than to mention Clark, understanding Hendrix’s nature
He didn’t love her, but his possessiveness remained. That was why he’d proposed the two–year “agreement” In the first place.
Though she and Clark had only wandered through a food festival and shared a few snacks, Hendrix could still it as betrayal.
Noelle bit her lip and finally said, “Evelyn.”

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...
