Chapter 126
Noelle had already finished her blood test. And now, she was sitting in a chair, waiting for the results.
After a night of restless thoughts, her mind still felt a little empty. She wasn’t sure whether she was hopeful or fearful.
She certainly wanted a child. After all, it would be a living: part of herself, something that would be forever connected to her. She had always felt alone in this world, and having a child would mean she would have a family.
It was the one thing Noelle had longed for since she was young
But she was also afraid. She feared she wouldn’t have the strength to protect the child.
Even if she could bring the child into the world safely, what would happen if the Freeman family came to take them?
Given Hendrix’s attitude, he likely wouldn’t allow her to keep the child. In that case, what could she do to fight him for custody?
The thoughts from the night before were still vivid in her mind.
That was why she had done the test with just water.
She had hoped that Hendrix would dismiss his concerns. But to her surprise, he still insisted on taking her to the hospital
So, she ran away.
No matter what, she just wanted to know the result first. Once she had the result, she would know what she
should do.
While Noelle was thinking about this, someone suddenly sat down beside her.
She had been keeping her head downl since earlier. People were walking by her continuously, but at this moment, she seemed to sense something and immediately raised her head.
Hendrix was looking at her expressionlessly.
Noelle’s face immediately changed, and she stood up without thinking.
But the next moment, Hendrix grabbed her shoulder and pressed her back down into her seat.
“Where else do you want to go?” His voice carried a clear hint of anger.
Noelle didn’t answer, only raising her hand to try and pull les hand off.
But the next moment, Hendrix said, “If you are really pregnant, let’s remarry.”
His words seemed like something heavy was suddenly pressed down onto Noelle’s shoulders. Her movements froze, and she looked at him in disbelief.
That night, Noelle had indeed thought about a lot of things. She thought about how Hendrix would handle the child, how she should protect them, and even ran through plans to escape the country.
But what she never expected was for Hendrix to remarry her.
“Just because of the child?” Noelle’s voice was rough.
“Isn’t that reason enough? Or do you want to give birth to the child and give him to me?”
“Impossible!”
fir do you think
“I also can’t let my child be left out there,” Hendrix said directly. “So, this is the best solution. Or do you think you have a chance of winning in a custody battle?”

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.

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...
