Chapter 114
It was Noelle’s first time seeing Hendrix like that. In fact, his current expression was far more interesting than his typical calm and composed demeanor.
Noelle also finally realized at that moment that his emotions were triggered due to her. That was really interesting
But it made sense. Any man who heard what she said earlier would be enraged. In contrast, she was feeling extremely at ease.
She met his gaze for a moment before asking, “Didn’t I make it clear earlier? I said…”
Before she could finish speaking. Hendrix suddenly raised his hand.
Noelle was very familiar with that movement. After all, she had experienced slaps often since she was a child. She even shut her eyes subconsciously, waiting for his slap. Yet the expected sting did not happen for a long time.
She slowly blinked open her eyes. Hendrix’s hand still hung in midair. His brows were still furrowed, and she noticed that the vein on his temple was throbbing.
Noelle ended up laughing after looking at him. “Slap me, then. Why aren’t you hitting me?”
What was the difference between a man wanting to hit a woman versus a man who already slapped a woman?
None.
At that moment, Noelle was even looking forward to his slap. That way, she would be completely disappointed in
Hendrix
She could then convince herself that she had fallen for a loser over the past few years. He was a cold and heartless man who even laid a hand on her.
Noelle could even tell herself that the few moments they had together from the past were fake as w well. The memories were like faint sun rays that faded away on their own before she could even touch them.
It was quite ridiculous since many thoughts ran through Noelle’s mind while she was in bed with Hendrix that night. It was her first time being close enough to hear his heartbeat, and it was also her first time truly feeling the warmth of his arms.
Noelle even wondered why he did not continue having sex with her in the shower. Was it because of the complaints next door, or was it purely because he cared for her?
The wounds in her heart had clearly reminded her not to fall in love with Hendrix. After all, Noelle already had a taste of what it was like to fall for him.
Within two years, her warm heart had turned to ice, and Noelle finally convinced herself to for him one more time, she was afraid she might lose her dignity for good.
leave him. If she fell
However, Noelle couldn’t help but feel moved. She even imagined that the deal between them was Hendrix’s foolish idea of making her stay. After all, he had always been prideful and distinguished.
Since she and Hendrix were divorced, he definitely would set his pride aside to say anything. That must have been why he suggested the deal.

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👨👩👧...

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...
