Chapter 27
+25 BONUS
Before Maxwell went abroad, he hadn’t interacted much with Hendrix. Therefore, he didn’t know Hendrix well at all. However, he could tell that Hendrix’s look was a warning
Maxwell just laughed.
Hendrix ignored him. After the glance, he left, pulling Noelle along with him.
He slammed the car door shut loudly.
Noelle could sense his anger. She didn’t want to get into trouble, so she scooted away from him, still holding her sketchbook tightly.
However, Hendrix reached out and snatched it out of her hold.
Noelle’s eyes widened in shock. “Give it back!” she said immediately.
This was the most animated Hendrix had ever seen her in their two years of marriage. Noelle pounced on him like an angry cat, trying to snatch the book away from him.
Hendrix had only intended to take a look, but Noelle’s attitude made him frown. He grabbed both of her hands, trapping them so that she did not get a chance to snatch the sketchbook back,
“Let me go! That is mine!” Noelle cried, even more agitated
Hendrix did not look at her. He lifted up the sketches to look at them.
Levi had already started driving at this point. The lighting was dim in the car. Just as Hendrix was about to turn on the lights, Noelle suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the mouth.
This made Hendrix pause. In his memory, this was the first time that Noelle had initiated a kiss.
Because of her childhood, she’d always been dull and boring. She never initiated intimacy.
This was why Hendrix was surprised when Noelle kissed high suddenly.
While he was in a daze, Noelle successfully grabbed the sketchbook. Then, she shoved it behind her, hiding it from him.
Hendrix realized what she was trying to do. He looked at her darkly. “Give it back.”
“It’s mine,” Noelle replied.
Hendrix did not have the patience to argue with her. Just as he was about to take the sketchbook forcefully, his phone rang.
Noelle knew she wouldn’t be able to resist him. She was already thinking about throwing the entire book out of the window when Hendrix’s call saved her.
She couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end, but she saw Hendrix’s expression fall.
“I’ll head over at once,” he said before hanging up.
Then, he looked over at Levi. “Stop the car.”
The car stopped.
Without any explanation to Noelle, Hendrix opened the door and got out of the car.

Noelle only snapped back to her senses when the car started driving off again. She turned to look out the window, but Hendrix had already disappeared by then.

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...
