Chapter 211
It was at this moment that Noelle asked from the inside, “Oliver, who’s at the door?”
That voice gave Hendrix a definite answer–he had been right all along. This was indeed Noelle’s place, and inside her home was another man.
Hendrix let out a sudden, cold laugh. Then, he turned and walked away without hesitation.
All the time she told him she loved him and asked if there was a possibility of them ever being together again–it was all a lie! After all, if she had truly been devoted to him, she would never have divorced him so decisively.
Moreover, if he remembered correctly, she had been secretly taking birth control pills before their divorce. Would a woman deeply in love with him do something like that? No, she wouldn’t!
Her feelings were clearly something she could control with ease. But then, he shouldn’t be surprised, because if it weren’t for this ability of hers, how could she possibly thrive so effortlessly in Vinton City?
He had already seen the video of her charming everyone at the wine party with ease, and if he wasn’t so familiar with her face, he might have even doubted whether the woman in the video was the same Noelle he once knew.
But then, he quickly recalled that she had also thoroughly enjoyed herself at the masquerade ball. Perhaps that was her true nature all along, while she had merely put on a false pretense while living with him.
Hendrix didn’t want to think any further. Instead, he stared expressionlessly at the driver and said, “Start the car.
His face was dark with anger, so the driver dared not ask him any question. Instead, he silently started the car and drove off.
A while later, Hendrix picked up his phone and called Dan. From now on, there’s no need to give me updates about Noelle. Also, go ahead and terminate the lease for the apartment at Galaxy Grove.”
Once he finished speaking, he hung up the phone abruptly.
Meanwhile, Oliver closed the door but still felt a bit dazed. He was sure he had seen Hendrix somewhere before, but for the life of him, he couldn’t remember where.
“Oliver?” Noelle called out to him again, pulling him from is thoughts. He quickly turned and walked into the
room.
She was lying in bed and gazing at him weakly. “What were you doing out there?”
“There was someone at the door just now, so I went to see who it was.
“Was it a delivery?”
like that.”
“No, it was a really handsome guy. He was kind of strange, though–didn’t say who he was and just left like Oliver frowned. “And I swear he looked familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before. But I can’t remember where.‘
“Well, can you at least get me a glass of water first?” asked Noelle helplessly.
Oliver finally remembered she had asked him to get her a glass of water, so he quickly turned to pour her a glass.
“Ms. Swanson, if it’s too much for you to bear, maybe we should go to the hospital? I mean, from the looks of it, you’re really sick.”
“No. I’ll be fine after a good night’s rest. You can go back now,” Noelle replied after sipping a few mouthfuls of water and taking her medicine.

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...
