Chapter 180
When Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle remained quiet for a long time.
The door behind her had not fully closed, and the cold wind seeping in contrasted sharply with the warm air inside.
Noelle couldn’t tell whether her body was cold or hot. She only felt her mind was blank.
After a long while, she finally found her voice. “So, you don’t want to hear my explanation anymore, do you?”
Hendrix looked at her. “Noelle, in this world, many things are judged by the consequences.”
As his words sank in, Noelle lowered her head and gave a small, bitter laugh.
Result? What was the result?
The consequence was that Beatrice now lay unconscious in the hospital. The consequence was that the letter, indeed, had been passed from her hands to his. The consequence was that he said there was no need for them to meet anymore.
He couldn’t even spare her a simple breakup.
Noelle looked at him and recalled the times when they spent time together, the words he said to her, the way he gazed at her, and the things they had done in bed.
All of these memories merged with the man who was standing right in front of her right now.
But now, he was looking at her coldly and indifferently, like he was handling a piece of trash that had no use f him anymore.
This made Noelle feel that she had traveled back to two years ago.
Not long ago… It seemed like nothing more than her own imagination.
“Okay,” Noelle finally said.
for
She had already made up her mind. Coming here today was really just to explain things to him. She had even been willing to wait outside the door, all for the sake of putting on a pathetic act.
But even so, he still refused to give her the chance to speak. He said he only cared about the consequences. That meant the process no longer mattered to him, and he didn’t care.
So, whatever she said now was meaningless.
“I’ll leave, then.” As Noelle spoke, she turned to leave.
But the next moment, Hendrix’s voice suddenly came again “Wait.”
Noelle stopped but didn’t turn around. Her hand, tucked in the pocket of her coat, unconsciously clenched.
“This is an invitation from Mr. York.” Hendrix handed her the paper. “It is a private art exhibition he organized. I received it a few days ago but did not have the time to give in to you.
Noelle glanced at him and then at the item in his hand.
“Also, I’ve bought the auction piece from before. I’ll have it sent to you tomorrow.”
Hendrix finished speaking, but Noelle didn’t reach out to take it.
This response made Hendrix furrow his brows slightly.

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...
