Chapter 135
Yvonne didn’t give Noelle a chance to refuse. There was nothing Noelle could do now. Before long, the two of them were seated in the café.
“When did you arrive in Sintrun?” Yvonne asked directly.
Noelle held her cup and calmly answered, “A few days ago.
“Oh? By yourself?”
Noelle didn’t reply. She simply lifted her gaze to look at Yvonne.
After holding her gaze for a moment, Yvonne suddenly smiled and placed a few photos in front of Noelle. “The person in these photos is you, isn’t it?”
In the photo, two people were kissing on a lively rooftop while fireworks lit up the night sky. Hendrix’s face was unmistakable. He was holding Noelle in his arms, with one hand gently cradling her cheek. Her face, however, was mostly obscured.
At this point, denying it clearly held no meaning. After clenching her hands briefly, Noelle finally nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Ms. Swanson, then, you must also know that Hendrix is no longer your husband but my fiancé, right?”
Yvonne continued slowly, “I’ve seen you twice before, and always thought you were someone reasonable. But now, it seems I misjudged you. Or is this how a Swanson has always been raised? To covet other people’s men?”
As she spoke, the warmth in her expression gradually faded
Noelle had no way to explain herself. After clenching her hands again, she finally said, “I’m sorry. Last night…..‘
She tried to say more, but any explanation felt utterly powerless now. In the end, she decided to keep quiet.
Seeing the expression on Noelle’s face, Yvonne let out a wider grin.
“Noelle, there’s no need to act pitiful in front of me,” Yvonne said. “I came here today to remind you of your place. If you dare touch something that doesn’t belong to you again, I’ll dump this coffee right on you. And I’ll make sure your reputation is utterly destroyed.”
With that, she stood and left without looking back
Noelled remained seated.
Her hands had been clenched tightly the entire time. Only after Yvonne walked away did Noelle release her hands, realizing then that her palms had been dug into so hard that they were bleeding. The sharp sting pulsed through
her hands.
But she knew she deserved it.
The most important thing in life was to understand one’s position and to know what one should and shouldn’t do. Her repeated pain and disappointment came from her own greed. She had been longing for things that were never hers, to begin with. So, yes. She deserved this.
Yvonne had already been gracious enough. If it had been someone else, the coffee might have already been thrown in her face at the entrance.

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...
