Ruth instantly felt her smile freeze at Hendrix's question.
Everyone in the room understood exactly what Hendrix was implying. After all, before Noelle reconciled with Hendrix, she was just an ordinary person. Even if Ruth had fallen on hard times, she hadn't reached the point where she needed to grovel to Noelle.
But now, things were different.
Noelle was now Hendrix's wife. Ruth had been skeptical about this at first. If the two had truly reconciled, how could there be no news about it?
Moreover, Noelle used to frequently attend various gatherings as Hendrix's wife. Yet, Ruth had not seen her at any events at all recently.
It wasn't until yesterday—after witnessing everything with her own eyes—that Ruth finally understood. This was all Hendrix's doing.
He knew that with his current status, any news of their reconciliation would draw immense attention. And he didn't want Noelle to be disturbed. In other words, he was doing everything he could to protect her.
Just how deeply did Hendrix have to love Noelle to go to such lengths?
Furthermore, there had been countless people trying to throw women at Hendrix over the years. Yet, in the end, he still chose Noelle.
It was in that moment Ruth finally realized just how deep Hendrix's feelings for Noelle ran, and that was why she had been so desperate to meet her since last night. Otherwise, she wouldn't even have deigned to apologize to Noelle.
That was what Ruth truly thought, but she hadn't expected Hendrix to call her out so bluntly.
As Hendrix's words hung in the air, Ruth was at a loss for how to respond.
After a while, she finally found her voice. "I-I didn't know where Noelle was before, so I couldn't—"
"Is that so?" Hendrix shot back, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

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...
