Chapter 336
Hendrix was in a bad mood, so he didn’t speak Noelle throughout the whole journey.
But Noelle had gotten used to this kind of interaction with him. She didn’t take the initiative to talk to him, either, and the two of them remained in silence all the way to Monivera.
After an 11–hour flight, it was still daytime when they landed.
Hendrix had work, so as soon as they landed, someone came to pick him up, while another person took Noelle to the hotel.
Back when they were married, Noelle had accompanied him on business trips before, usually when there were public events requiring their joint appearance. But those were always in the country, lasting just one or two days.
During the day, she would stay in the hotel and wait for Hendrix, only to join him in the evening for the events. Now, it was just a change in time and location.
Noelle had already slept on the plane, so she wasn’t feeling particularly tired at the moment.
They were now on Mondivera’s famous tourist island, and from the hotel balcony, Noelle could see large stretches of beach and the ocean.
The sea breeze blew in, lifting her spirits and easing the heaviness in her heart.
Noelle didn’t bring a swimsuit, but after changing into a long–strap dress, she headed downstairs.
On the beach, many people were sunbathing. After walking around a bit, she found a secluded spot and sat down. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed Dylan’s number.
The phone rang for quite a while before he finally picked up
“Noelle?” he said.
“Are you… in Coppersville?” Noelle asked him, her voice soft. “How have you been lately?”
“I’m doing well,” Dylan replied, his voice sounding normal–almost too normal.
It was because of this lack of any apparent distress that Noelle grew even more worried. She knew Hendrix never said something unless he was absolutely certain.
What he told her today might only be a small part of the truth. What about the rest? Perhaps they had already gathered concrete evidence, and what would be Dylan’s fate?
Noelle couldn’t bring herself to imagine it. She was even more afraid that Dylan didn’t know anything at all, and by the time he realized, it would be too late for him to come up with any countermeasures.
After hesitating for a long while, she finally spoke, “I heard.”
“Noelle,” Dylan suddenly interrupted her. “We’ve already said all the things we needed to say. Though we agreed to stay friends after saying goodbye, I don’t think we can actually be friends anymore.
“But no matter what, I still hope you’ll be happy. As for me. You don’t need to worry about me. After all, this is what I chose for myself.”
Noelle understood what Dylan was implying. He was hinting that she should… say nothing.
Was it because their conversation was being overheard now? Did Dylan already know he was being watched?
Before Noelle could answer, Dylan continued, “Alright. That’s it. Don’t call me again. We’re no longer friends,

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
