Nthan added, “Olivia once told me that sometimes, Hendrix would stare at her in a daze, as if he was seeing someone else through her. If my guess is correct, that person should be you, Noelle. Or rather, the person you used to be. You’re too rational and calm now.
“Take this situation, for example–any other woman, upon hearing that her husband was in such trouble, would be panicking like crazy. Even if she wasn’t desperately trying to scheme on his behalf, at the very least, she’d be furious, wouldn’t she?
“But you seem completely unaffected. Hendrix surely understands this even better than I do, and he can feel it more directly. So, for him to seek that emotional fulfillment from another woman? That’s only natural.”
Nathan’s tone was light and casual. He was speaking from the perspective of a man, drawing a conclusion that seemed perfectly reasonable to him, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
But Noelle couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
Her unexpected reaction made Nathan narrow his eyes lightly as he observed her.
“So, did you come here today just to tell me this?” she asked.
“Of course not.” Nathan smiled before continuing, “I actually came to give you some advice. You should divorce Hendrix.”
His tone was sincere. “A man like him–what’s there for you to hold on to? You should use this opportunity to leave him. Then, you’ll finally be free, no?”
Noelle smiled faintly and asked, “What does it have to do with you whether Hendrix and I divorce or not?”
“Of course, there is,” Nathan replied with a smile. “I’ll be taking over Amity Group soon, but that alone isn’t enough. I know the reason why Hendrix is so disappointed and hurt by your attitude—so much so that he sought comfort in another woman.
“At the end of the day, the real reason is he loves you. It’s not enough for me to just take Amity Group from him. I want you to leave him so that he’ll be left with nothing!”
As Nathan spoke, the smile on his lips deepened. There was something almost deranged about the way he looked.
But Noelle merely observed him calmly from where she was seated.
Almost as if knowing what Noelle was thinking, Nathan quickly added, “Of course, you don’t have to agree to anything at this moment. But Noelle, even if you don’t think about yourself, shouldn’t you at least consider the child you’re carrying?”
As he spoke, his gaze slowly dropped to Noelle’s stomach.
The curve of her belly was already unmistakable. And at that very moment, as if sensing danger, her lower abdomen tensed up sharply the moment Nathan looked over.

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...
