Chapter 175
But at that moment, Noelle suddenly felt that the envelope was like a hot potato, as if no place was safe enough
for it
In the end, she simply pulled it out and placed it among the pile of books on her desk. It looked rather conspicuous
But when Hendrix returned that evening, he didn’t seem to notice it
He seemed to be in a particularly good mood lately. After taking a shower, he walked over, closed Noelle’s laptop, and then picked her up without hesitation.
Since Noelle had refused to move out of the apartment, and Hendrix couldn’t keep holding back forever, he had rented the room next door.
Now, no one could interrupt them anymore.
That evening, Coppersville saw its first snowfall of the winter.
Noelle didn’t have any special feelings about snow, but Hendrix seemed to like it a lot. Otherwise, why else would hé have pressed her against the window to admire the view for so long?
By the end, Noelle’s legs had gone weak, and with tearful eyes, she begged him repeatedly. Only after hearing her call him “baby” several times–as he wished–did Hendrix finally carry her back to bed.
By the time he was done, Noelle was already on the verge of falling asleep.
Hendrix carried her to the bathroom when he saw her not moving
“Let’s go to Dynalis in two days. What do you think?” he asked.
Noelle tried to keep her eyes open. “For?”
“Vacation, and to see the snow.”
The latter reason scared Noelle, and she quickly shook her head. “No.”
Hendrix chuckled and responded, “I don’t mean it that way I literally meant to see the snow for real.”
Noelle couldn’t help but glare at him before saying, “I’m not interested.”
“But I am, and you’re coming with me.”
As Hendrix spoke, he cornered her in the shower, his stance practically forcing her to agree.
Noelle had no choice but to plead for mercy repeatedly.
In the end, she gave in to his proposal.
By the time they stepped out of the bathroom, the first thing they heard was the ringing of Hendrix’s phone. The caller had been persistent, with one ring after another.
Hendrix placed Noelle on the bed, drying her hair with one hand while picking up the phone with the other.” Hello.”
“Mr. Freeman.”

Noelle was sitting close to him, so she could clearly hear the voice on the other end of the line.
“Madam Freeman has been in a car accident. She’s in the hospital now, and the doctors are saying her condition isn’t good.”
As the person finished speaking, Noelle could distinctly feel Hendrix pausing. Then, his grip on the phone tightened.

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...
