Chapter 305
“Yes,” Noelle replied without hesitation.
“But even if you don’t trust me, it doesn’t change anything. After all, you’ll never get the evidence you’re looking
for.”
“True.” Noelle nodded. “But at the very least, I can make your life a lot less comfortable.”
With that, she placed the used napkin on the table, then picked up the glass of water in front of her and without a second thought, splashed it right in Hendrix’s face.
Water dripped down from his hair, trailing off the tips of his strands and clinging to his lashes like tiny droplets.
Hendrix remained motionless, sitting there under the light, his face looking almost pale.
Noelle didn’t spare him a single glance. She turned on her heels and started walking away, but Hendrix quickly grabbed her hand. In one swift motion, he pulled her back and forced her onto his lap, holding her firmly in place.
“Is that it?” Hendrix smiled and looked at her. “This is your idea of making me uncomfortable? Isn’t that a bit childish?”
Noelle didn’t respond. She simply stared back at him expressionlessly.
After a moment of silence, Hendrix grabbed her chin and pressed his lips to hers.
Noelle didn’t struggle.
When Hendrix pushed her down, she even went along with it, placing her hands on his shoulder for support. Her reaction caught him off guard, so he looked at her.
But in the next moment, Hendrix caught the mocking look in Noelle’s eyes questioning him, “Isn’t your approach just as childish?”
Of course, Hendrix knew that. But what else could he do?
He couldn’t think of anything.
It was as if she were silently
Even in this moment, with their bodies pressed together so tightly it seemed they were one, he still felt an overwhelming emptiness. It was as if something had bitten into his heart, tearing away a piece of flesh, and no matter what he did, he could never fill the void it left behind
The wound refused to heal, and every slight movement sent waves of excruciating pain through him. So, he kept kissing her and taking from her, desperately trying to use this futile act to fill the emptiness inside him.
“Penny, don’t look at me like that,” Hendrix said in a hoarse voice, the sound almost a plea.
But in the next moment, Noelle slowly lowered her head and sank her teeth into his shoulder. She bit down hard, breaking the skin, and blood began to flow out.
The sharp, physical pain seemed to give Hendrix’s inner torment–a place to escape. So, he didn’t push her away, and he didn’t even let out a sound
In fact, it was almost as if Hendrix was worried Noelle hadn’t bitten hard enough–he even tilted his shoulder closer to her mouth.
But Noelle quickly let go.
When she glanced at his face, completely devoid of pain, she suddenly found the whole thing utterly meaningless. So, without hesitation, she raised her hand, intending to slap him across the face. At least that would cost him

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...
