Chapter 253
If it weren’t for this, Noelle wouldn’t have bothered trying to change. Though, at this point, it seemed like she still hadn’t managed to become happy, she believed it was because she hadn’t tried hard enough. Maybe one day, she’d finally become happy if she really reached a higher position.
Noelle wasn’t sure, and there was no one who could give her the answer. So, all she could do was keep moving forward.
“Quit smoking.”
Hendrix seemed to ignore everything else she said, focusing solely on this one thing
Noelle suddenly found it amusing. “Why don’t you quit?”
“Alright. I’ll quit with you,” he replied.
His straightforward answer made Noelle frown involuntarily.
Hendrix quickly took action. He tossed Noelle’s cigarette pack and lighter straight into the trash. Then, he picked up the clothes he had left scattered around the living room from last night, and the cigarette pack inside was also discarded.

But the lighter remained in his hand.
“I’ll keep this. It was a gift from you,” he said.
Noelle, of course, remembered. But at that moment, when she looked at the lighter, she felt nothing. She glanced at Hendrix as if he were crazy, then turned and walked toward her bedroom.
Hendrix followed right behind her.
As Noelle was about to enter the bathroom, she noticed he was still following her and finally couldn’t hold back.” Are you crazy? I need to use the bathroom!”
“It’s fine. It’s not like I haven’t kissed every part of-
Before he could finish, Noelle grabbed a towel nearby and threw it at him.
Hendrix quickly caught it, but by the time he set the towel down, Noelle had already entered the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Hendrix just smiled and returned to the bed.
Noelle soon came back out.
As soon as she lay down, Hendrix wrapped his arms around her from behind. At first, Noelle tried to ignore him, but his grip tightened. Eventually, she started to feel a little suffocated.
She had no choice but to pry his fingers off. “Are you trying to suffocate me to death?”
Hendrix just let out a soft laugh and admitted, “Yes.”
If he could, he really would want to press her into his body like that. That way, maybe he wouldn’t have to think so much, wouldn’t have to worry about the changes in their relationship, and wouldn’t have to be apart from her.

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...
