The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 800
"Why?" Noelle asked.
"What do you mean why?" Hendrix's voice carried an edge of irritation. "How would I know he's not a good person?"
Noelle shook his head. "What I mean is, if he's not a good person, why was I going to marry him in the first place? And he mentioned I lived in Stormridge before. Were we divorced then?"
Now that the questions had started, she might as well get everything out in the open.
The moment she finished speaking, Hendrix's expression darkened further.
Noelle wasn't in a rush. She simply waited, watching him expectantly.
"Yes," Hendrix finally answered her. "You almost did marry him. But then he betrayed you, so you broke it off."
"Betrayed?"
"Yes. To secure an investment, he slept with his ex-wife. And that ex-wife ended up dead overseas because of him. You even suspected he was involved. Because the moment she died, Dylan inherited her money. His company was saved overnight. And you don't remember this, but his ex-wife—"
"Hold up." Hendrix had said too much at once, and Noelle couldn't process it all immediately. She pushed him away and took two steps back.
Hendrix just stood there, his lips pressed into a thin line as he watched her.
"Who was his ex-wife?" Noelle asked.
"Jean Fisher."
"Jean Fisher?" Noelle turned the name over in her mind, but nothing surfaced.
"You don't need to worry about that now," Hendrix said firmly. "Just remember he's bad news."
Noelle frowned but eventually nodded. "Okay."
And it wasn't the first time she'd done it, either. The first time they divorced, she had been the one to bring it up as well. She hadn't left him any room to negotiate—just stated outright that she wanted a divorce.
Now, just hearing the word "divorce" made Hendrix instinctively shudder with fear. He didn't even dare to look into Noelle's eyes at this moment. As he spoke, his voice unconsciously dropped a few notches, as if he had suffered some great grievance.
Noelle didn't rush to refute him, because honestly, that did sound like something she would do. She pressed her lips together before saying, "I'm sorry."
Hendrix raised an eyebrow in surprise, then lifted his head to look at her.
"I'm sorry for hurting you," she said, her expression utterly serious.
Seeing her like this, Hendrix suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Without thinking, he took her hand in his. "It's okay. That's all in the past. All that matters is we're doing fine now, right?"
Noelle had a feeling he was still keeping some things from her, but that was to be expected.

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...
