Chapter 372
Noelle had no idea how she managed to get through that day
The two ladies, whom Hendrix had mentioned, showed up to look after her, but they did not have the key to the handcuffs.
One of her hands was cuffed to the bed frame. She spent the whole day in bed, feeling like a farmed animal. Her thoughts did not matter. After all, she was just a tool to them.
“Mrs. Freeman, why don’t you have something to eat?” one of the ladies suggested cautiously.
Noelle ignored her and did not look up.
The maids helplessly exchanged a look before they quietly left the room.
Noelle lay in the bed motionlessly.
A while later, she heard the familiar sounds of a car engine from the first floor–something she had heard of multiple times.
Those sounds once brought her joy, but she had to conceal her emotions from everyone else.
Now, all that was left was despair and chill.
Soon, she heard Hendrix and the maids talking. The maids seemed to be telling him about the fact that she refused to take any food or drink.
Hendrix said nothing. He entered the room with some food.
Noelle did not budge even when he arrived.
“Get up and eat something,” he ordered in a stiff tone and with a flat face.
Noelle did not look at him.
He smirked. “Do you think I have no other way to deal with you? Even if you go on a hunger strike, I could totally cuff you to the bed and get you an IV infusion. When it’s time for your labor, I’ll make the doctors perform a C- section on you!
“Did w
you think I’d never do that? Or did you think you could stop me?”
While speaking, he took a step forward and grabbed her chip, forcing her to stare at him. “Don’t worry. I’ll hire the best team to look after my flesh and blood. You are allowed to visit it every day.
“Didn’t you say I’d never be a good father? Let’s see how good a mother you are!”
Hendrix had just come home after a day of meetings, and his voice was cracking. He looked even madder with that hoarse voice and his bloodshot eyes, like a demon crawling out from the gates of hell.
Noelle stubbornly refused to speak, but her trembling lips betrayed her fear.
Another idea came into Hendrix’s mind.
“By the way, you care a lot about Dylan, don’t you? Tell you something my men have gotten their hands on some clues.
“You were right–Dylan wasn’t the culprit. He must be taking the blame for someone else, but I don’t know whether it’s for his father or his grandpa.

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...
