The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 804

Hendrix's attitude was uncharacteristically deferential—enough to arouse suspicion and anxiety.

But Marshall remained far calmer than Marla. He raised his glass without hesitation and said, "No need for apologies. What matters is that Noelle's been found."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Swift," Hendrix replied.

The two men conversed pleasantly, and after downing his drink in one gulp, Hendrix turned to look at Noelle.

Noelle was frowning at the Swift couple, as if something had just occurred to her—or perhaps she was simply trying to recall a memory.

But even that small action was enough to make Marla visibly uneasy.

Clutching her wine glass, Marla hesitated for a moment before asking Noelle, "But why was there no news from you during that time? You have no idea how frantic Mr. Freeman was searching for you here. Were you unreachable, or was there another reason?"

Marla probed carefully, her eyes fixed on Noelle, searching for something in her expression.

Though she had already heard about Noelle's memory loss from Dylan, something about it still felt unreal. Marla couldn't be sure if it was true and was worried that Noelle was merely pretending.

"I've forgotten parts of my past," Noelle answered, not hiding anything. "If Hendrix hadn't found me, I might still not know who I am. But maybe it's because this city feels so familiar that I've started to remember bits and pieces lately."

As soon as the words left her lips, Marla visibly paled.

"What have you remembered?" she asked quickly. Her flustered voice seemed to give something away. Realizing her slip, she immediately glanced at Marshall.
