Noelle knew she shouldn’t have said anything. Hendrix was clearly angry, and as soon as she spoke, it was like she became a target for his frustration. It wasn’t even her business to begin with, so when Hendrix said that, Noelle chose to remain quiet.
However, her silence still didn’t satisfy him. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“What do you want me to say?” Noelle replied flatly. “This is your family’s business. It doesn’t really concern me.”
As they spoke, the car had already been driven a good distance, but as soon as Noelle finished speaking, Hendrix slammed on the brakes.
Though Noelle had her seatbelt on, the car was moving too fast, and she was jerked forward violently by the sudden stop before bouncing back into her seat.
The back of her head hit the leather headrest, but it didn’t hurt. Still, Noelle furrowed her brows and turned to look at Hendrix.
Hendrix also looked at her. “What do you mean by it’s my family’s matter? Aren’t you my wife?”
“Okay”
“Okay?” Hendrix was triggered by her response.
But just now, she had subtly mocked Nathan at the dining table and even reminded him over the phone to brace himself.
Thinking of this, Hendrix managed to suppress his anger and spoke again, “You don’t have to worry about Mom. That bastard came back, and I don’t even know how happy she is about it.”
Noelle was momentarily stunned by Hendrix’s words.
But Hendrix didn’t look at her again, his gaze fixed on the road ahead.
At this point, they were not far from Freeman Manor. The road was primarily designed to connect the city to Freeman Manor, and calling it exclusive to the Freeman family wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Thus, it was rarely busy, and at night, the long road was empty except for their car and the solitary streetlights along the sides.
Hendrix seemed lost in thought, his deep eyes clouded with something darker as he spoke, “What did you think? She’s been living in Freeman Manor all this time. How could Ophelia’s plans be unknown to her?
“She didn’t stop it, and she didn’t even inform me. That means she actually wants to see this happen. In other words, she also hopes that bastard comes back.”
As Hendrix spoke, he couldn’t help but let out a laugh. When he turned his head, he found Noelle looking at him.
Her gaze even held a trace of… sympathy.
Had it been before, Hendrix would’ve felt nothing but anger and mockery. After all, he didn’t need anyone’s sympathy. Even if the Freeman family, or even the entire world, stood against him, he wouldn’t care. No matter what it was, he’d step right over it.
But now, for some reason, he suddenly felt that Nathan had come at just the right time..
Sympathy… So what? Even if it was just sympathy, it was still better than the emotionless gaze she had given him the other day.

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...
