Hendrix didn't offer up a response. He simply frowned at her, without even bothering to conceal the disdain and disgust in his eyes.
Ruth, of course, noticed, but her ingratiating smile never once faltered. "Really, Mr. Freeman. I can assure you that my husband—"
"Get lost," Hendrix interrupted her dismissively.
It wasn't just his tone that was dismissive. At that moment, Ruth felt as if she were seeing the same mocking gazes from earlier. She knew if she didn't do something now, her situation would only become even more unbearable than before.
However, it was obvious Hendrix had no intention whatsoever of giving her any further opportunity. Because after uttering those two words, he simply walked away without looking back.
Ruth stood frozen in place. After staring at Hendrix's retreating figure for a moment, she suddenly said, "Mr. Freeman, if you're going to be like this, don't blame me for telling Noelle everything."
Hendrix paused in his tracks. Then, he turned to look at her over the shoulders with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Ruth chuckled coldly. "Don't even think for a second I don't know anything. The baby that Sandra was carrying was yours, wasn't it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hendrix immediately spun back around to face her, his gaze sharp and cold.
Ruth couldn't help but tremble, but she quickly straightened her back and continued, "Sandra may be in prison now, but that doesn't mean everything's been resolved. And that baby Sandra lost back then, you've always known it was her doing, right?"

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...
