Chapter 327
Ophelia’s mood was already bad, and hearing Noelle’s laughter made her expression darken even further. “What are you laughing at?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just happy for you…” Noelle glanced at Hendrix.
He was also looking at her, seemingly waiting to see what kind of explanation she would come up with.
When Hendrix heard Noelle’s response, his eyebrows lifted slightly, followed by a chuckle. Unlike the earlier mockery and coldness, his smile now seemed more genuine, as though Noelle had really amused him.
But Noelle paid him no mind and continued speaking to Ophelia, “After all, you must be quite bored in this house. You should indeed feel happy for having such a filial grandson.
Once Noelle finished speaking, Ophelia did not respond.
She could certainly tell that Noelle hadn’t been genuine in her words, but Noelle’s words were crafted so smoothly that there was no obvious flaw. So even though Ophelia was angry, she could only swallow her feelings for the
moment.
Hendrix didn’t pay attention to Noelle’s words, either. He just looked at the person in front of him.
“You’re thinking too much. You’re not qualified to compete with me.”
From an outsider’s perspective, it was undoubtedly a cold and mocking exchange between the couple aimed at Nathan
Nathan didn’t know what to say in response. He just sat there with a stiff expression.
Ophelia’s tone also darkened. “Hendrix.”
“I understand your
intention. Since this is your decision, I don’t think I have the right to interfere. You can do as you wish. I have no objections. But don’t expect me to fulfill any brotherly duties or guide him or anything like
that.
“I’ve said it before. If you want what’s best for him, let him live a humble life with his head down. Since he’s now in front of me, don’t blame me for whatever I’ll do.”
Hendrix didn’t wait for Ophelia’s reaction. He simply grabbed Noelle’s hand and left.
As soon as they stepped out of the dining room, they immediately heard something crashing to the floor behind
them.
Then, Noelle heard Ophelia cursing, “Look at this! This is the son you’ve raised! Does he still respect his elders? Does he really think I’m dead?”
Noelle couldn’t help but furrow her brows as she listened, instinctively slowing her steps.
Hendrix noticed it, and, of course, he could hear those words, too. But his expression remained unchanged.
In fact, after noticing Noelle’s hesitation, he gave a firm tug and pulled her out of there. The two of them quickly
made it to the car.
Hendrix had put on an indifferent, dismissive facade in front of them earlier, acting as if Nathan meant nothing to
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👨👩👧...

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...
