Chapter 385
Hendrix knew this might just be a dream. If possible, he wished it would never end.
Time passed quickly.
Autumn in Coppersville was always short, and in the blink of an eye, winter arrived. On the first day of winter, Beatrice called Noelle and invited her to dinner at Freeman Manor.
Before Noelle could respond, Beatrice said, “By the way, I heard you’re pregnant. Ophelia was thrilled when she found out. You two haven’t been back in a while.
“Of course, if you don’t want to come, that’s fine. I’ll just head over to Nivis Villa instead. Either way, I have to make sure Ophelia’s sentiments are conveyed.“.
She wasn’t giving Noelle any room to refuse.
Noelle pressed her lips together, but in the end, she agreed.
When Hendrix returned from his meeting, she told him about it.
Hendrix frowned. “You said yes?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright. Then, we’ll go together tonight.”
Then, he casually handed her an invitation letter. “This just came in. Take a look.”
Noelle paused briefly but instinctively took it.
The moment she saw the sender’s name, her heart skipped a beat. She opened the invitation card and saw a wedding photo of Dylan alongside an unfamiliar woman.
“How filial of him,” Hendrix commented as he watched her pale face for a moment. He then slowly added, “Do you know who she is?”
Noelle pursed her lips but didn’t respond.
Hendrix didn’t mind. He simply continued, “Brian Fisher’s daughter.”
Noelle shut the card and looked at him. “And?”
“Nothing. Just thought I’d share the good news. When the day comes, shall we attend together?”
Noelle didn’t say a word. She shoved it back into his hands and walked away.
Hendrix watched her retreating figure, then looked down at the invitation card in his hands.
Suddenly, he felt utterly unamused.
She had been playing her role perfectly these past few weeks, obediently eating meals with him and going to prenatal checkups. She had even swallowed her feelings about the baby and kept her emotions under control so well–only to crack because of a wedding invitation from Dylan?
Was Dylan really that important to her? More important than their child?
Hendrix tossed the invitation card onto the table.
Nonetheless, he quickly adjusted his mood and strode toward Noelle with a composed expression. “Let’s go.

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...
