Chapter 29
“Did you hear what I said, Hendrix?”
Ophelia’s next words made Noelle purse her lips.
So Hendrix was there, too.
Hendrix’s voice was calm as he said, “Grandma, I thought we agreed not to talk about this.”
“I agreed not to talk about this as long as she did what she was supposed to do! Look at this…” Midway through her rant, Ophelia began coughing violently.
“Grandma Ophelia!” Sandra cried.
“I’m fine,” Ophelia said. “Hendrix, you’re my only grandson. I only wish the best for you.
“Back then, your mother forced you to relent by holding the share of Amity Group over you, but now, she has no hold on you. You should think about ending your marriage with Noelle.”
Hendrix did not answer her.
Noelle did not wait for an answer, either. As soon as Ophelia finished speaking, she pushed open the door and entered. Her sudden entrance made everyone in the room look toward her.
Sandra was looking at Hendrix with affection in her eyes. When she saw Noelle, her expression changed. She quickly stood up. “Noelle!”
Noelle did not answer her. Eyes lowered, she placed the lunchbox on the table.
“Beatrice told me to bring this here. It’s porridge,” she said
Ophelia frowned. “What’s with that attitude?”
Noelle looked up and smiled. “What?”
“What do you think? You don’t have to come if you don’t want to, you know. You don’t need to look so glum. I’ve
never seen…”
“Okay.”
Before Ophelia could finish, Noelle turned away.
No one expected her to react like that.
Hendrix reacted quickly. He grabbed Noelle’s arm. “Noelle, he said simply, the warning in his tone obvious.
Noelle met his gaze unflinchingly. “What? I’m clearly not welcome here.”
“Apologize to Grandma,” Hendrix said, ignoring what she said.
Noelle continued staring at him, clenching her fists.
Sandra came up to her as well. “Noelle, just apologize to Grandma Ophella. She’s been hospitalized because of you. Plus, she’s still an elder. You shouldn’t be giving her attitude…” She choked up slightly, as if she were about
to cry.
Compared to her, Noelle seemed cruel and heartless.
Ophelia scoffed. “No need! I don’t need her apology. She just needs to stay out of my sight!”

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...
