Chapter 310
Ophelia looked as though she might faint from rage.
Hendrix, on the other hand, remained utterly composed.

He even picked up the glass by his side, taking a slow sip before calmly saying, “Grandma, I’m an adult now. This is a decision about my life, and I’ve made it with careful consideration.”
“Your life? Do you think I don’t know what you’ve been up to out there? Let me remind you–so long as you carry the Freeman name and are my grandson, I have every right to control your decisions!
“Don’t forget. Everything you have now is because of me. If you dare to act recklessly, everything I’ve given you can just as easily be-”
She suddenly stopped, as if realizing she had said too much Clenching her teeth, she swallowed the rest of her words.
Hendrix chuckled. “Are you referring to the one outside? No need to keep it a secret. I already know about him.”
As his words fell, Ophelia’s sharp glare immediately turned to Beatrice.
Beatrice, however, merely frowned and said nothing.
Hendrix continued, “Grandma, there’s no need to worry. All I know is that such a person exists–where he is now or what his name is, I don’t know, nor do I care to know. As far as the world is concerned, the Freeman family has only one heir, and that’s me.
“If you know that person is your grand
then you’d best keep him well hidden. Because if he ever tries to step into my world, I doubt he could handle even a fraction of what the Freeman name entails. Worse, he might lose his entire future or even his life. Wouldn’t that hurt you more, Grandma?”
Hendrix set down his glass, the smile on his lips remaining as warm and gentle as ever. But his every word was sharp and threatening, sending a chill down one’s spine.
Ophelia’s expression changed. Even the fury boiling within her seemed to pause for a moment. She pointed a trembling finger at Hendrix.
“Hendrix, do you even know who you’re speaking to?” After that, she turned to Beatrice. “I knew it! Just look at the kind of son you’ve raised. Does he even see me as his grandmother? You and your son-”
Before she could finish, her breathing grew labored. Seeing this, Grant rushed forward in alarm. “Mrs. Freeman Senior, are you alright? Should I call the doctor?”
Ophelia kept shaking her head, her trembling finger still pointing at Hendrix.
“Mr. Freeman, how can you say such things? Mrs. Freeman Senior
“I’ve already made up my mind about the marriage,” interrupted Hendrix before Grant could finish. “Nothing you say will change that. As for Amity Group, you don’t need to worry. As long as I’m here, there won’t be any chaos
“Grandma, you’re getting on in years, so it’s better to focus on enjoying your twilight years. There are some things you no longer need to concern yourself with.”
With that, Hendrix rose from his seat. “I’ve said everything needed to, and I have other matters to attend to, so J’ll be leaving now.”
Without waiting for a response, Hendrix turned decisively and walked away.

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👨👩👧...

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...
