Chapter 277
Hendrix seemed to have calmed down. He placed both his lands on the desk while his body launched over. His head was lowered as well, and he looked miserable.
Dan wanted to comfort him, but he didn’t know what to say
Just when he was hesitating, Hendrix suddenly asked, “Do you have cigarettes?”
This stunned Dan for a moment. After a while, he reacted and recalled that Hendrix had stopped smoking a while ago. He didn’t hesitate and quickly gave him his cigarettes. It’s not from your previous brand. Do you need me to get another for you?”
“No need,” Hendrix said while taking out a cigarette.
Dan quickly handed him the lighter.
Hendrix lowered his head, but the cigarette between his fingers remained unlit for quite a while.
It was because his hand kept… trembling.
Dan couldn’t help but tremble as well. Fortunately, in the next moment, Hendrix finally lit his cigarette.
Dan let out a sigh of relief.
Hendrix sat back down in the chair, stared at the smoke ring in the air for a while, and then said, “She’s getting married.”
His words left Dan stunned. Then, he immediately understood who Hendrix was referring to.
Pausing for a moment, he said, “Mr. Freeman, if you can’t let her go, why don’t you meet her?”
Hendrix simply let out a soft laugh.
Dan had been working with Hendrix for a long time. Since Hendrix joined Amity Group, he had always been by his side. In the past, he could more or less grasp Hendrix’s thoughts, but at this moment, he completely couldn’t understand him.
“Her w
wedding dress is quite beautiful,” Hendrix suddenly said again. “Even more so than when she married me.”
As he spoke, he reached out to grab his phone.
Dan hurriedly picked it up from the floor.
Although the screen was cracked, the phone was still working.
As soon as Hendrix unlocked his phone, Dan saw the wedding photo on the screen.
The white dress paired with the groom’s black suit was indeed beautiful and quite a perfect match. But perhaps because the screen was cracked, the smiles of the couple locked somewhat distorted.
Dan’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Hendrix suddenly looked at him and asked, “How is the Continental Reach project going now?”
“It’s going smoothly. The nearby residential buildings are already being demolished, and it’s expected…”
“Let’s stop it for now,” Hendrix suddenly said.
His words scared Dan to death, and then, he looked at Hendrix unbelievably.

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...
