Chapter 86
By the time Hendrix walked out of the bathroom, Noelle was no longer in the bedroom. He was stunned a little before he exited the room.
Noelle was slipping into her shoes at the door.
Hendrix looked at her, and his expression darkened. “Where are you going?”
“Home.” Noelle didn’t even turn around to look at him.
Hendrix immediately pursed his lips, and the coldness in his eyes intensified. However, Noelle ignored him and opened the door.
Afterward, the door was closed again, and Hendrix was left all alone in the spacious house. When he turned around, he swung his foot and kicked the trash can, toppling it.
Noelle didn’t notice what Hendrix had just done. She kept the cufflinks in her bag, and she thought about tossing them into the trash can when she walked past one. However, her hand was suspended in midair for a long time, and she still couldn’t let it go.
That was when Noelle’s phone rang
“You’re not asleep yet, are you, Elle?” Evelyn sounded very exhilarated over the phone. “I’ve got some good news for you.”
“I’m wide awake. Go on.” Noelle put the cufflinks back into her handbag as she spoke into the phone.
“The television drama rights to your last comic have been secured. Are you familiar with Magnolia Pictures? It’s a major production company!”
Noelle nodded. “Yeah. That is good news. And?”
Evelyn clicked her tongue. “I know you used to be a wealthy man’s wife, and this sort of money is nothing to you. However, you can’t deny that it’s a major collaboration.
“Moreover, the rights to your comics will be selling like hotcakes once this collaboration goes through. That’s why we have to give it our best this time!”
“Great. Do your best.”
“Wait a minute. Why am I the one who’s doing my best? What about you?”
“Haven’t I given you full reins to represent me?”
“Um… You did, but we would close the deal much faster if you were directly involved in the negotiation.”
Noelle stopped in her tracks and said, “I’m not going.”
“Why?”
“No reason. If you can secure it, great. If it can’t be done, then forget it.”

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...
