“You’re going to have to get in line, mister,” Clark said as he turned around with a grin on his face.
Hendrix responded calmly, “I beg to differ. I think the lady gets to choose who she’s dancing with.”
What he said had Clark stumped.
Hendrix no longer looked at Clark. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Noelle. His eyes had always displayed calmness, but it seemed like there were some repressed feelings underneath them.
Noelle’s hands hung by her side, and she couldn’t help but clench her fists. After a brief moment, she suddenly giggled and rested her hand on Clark’s palm. She agreed to dance with him.
Hendrix’s expression instantly darkened, and he clenched his palm. He intended to look at Noelle again, but she had already turned around with Clark. He gnashed his teeth as he looked at their retreating figures.
At that moment, Brandon stepped forward and said, “Hi, Mr. Freeman.”
Hendrix looked at him with a blank face.
Brandon continued with a smile on his face, “I didn’t think you’d be here tonight. Also, congratulations are in order for your successful business negotiation in Gerlandia
“Thanks,” Hendrix responded, but his attitude was barely even dismissive. After all, he didn’t so much as turn around and look at Brandon.
“Did you show up here because of Noelle, Mr. Freeman?” Brandon asked again.
Only then did Hendrix turn his head sideways and look at Brandon. “What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing. It’s just that it’s such a shame that you two are divorced. She’s a charming lady, isn’t she?” Brandon’s gaze rested on Noelle once more as he spoke.
At that moment, she and Clark were already halfway through the dance. They weren’t exactly very intimate, but
worked together flawlessly. Their steps were so graceful that they turned a lot of heads in the hall.

“What’s the matter? Are you into her or something?” Hendrix asked as he followed Brandon’s gaze and looked
over.
“I’m willing to guess that no one would have zero feelings for a lady such as her.”
“Oh. I seem to recall having heard a rumor about you, though, Mr. Quinlan. Ever since your car accident, you can no longer perform a certain act. How are you supposed to quench a lady’s thirs
and make her happy in such a
condition?” Hendrix retorted.
At the next moment, Brandon’s smile faded from his face. The veins on his neck even popped. However, he quickly suppressed his emotions.
Brandon could even flash Hendrix a smile. “You truly kept tabs on everything, Mr. Freeman. However, what makes you think you have the right to be saying this?
“After all, Noelle didn’t seem to be satisfied at all when you two were husband and wife. Why else would she have divorced you?”
Now, it was Hendrix’s turn to fall silent. It had been a long time since he was stumped. In other words, he very rarely made such pointless bickering. What was more, he did it for the sake of Noelle. It was simply absurd and below him.

Chapter 93
Hendrix cast another glance at Noelle before he turned around and left without any hesitation. That was when someone stood in his way.
“Can I have this dance with you?” The lady wore a black gown and had her hair tied up. She was just staring boldly at him without any signs of ambiguity.
At first, Hendrix wanted to turn down her offer, but then, something seemed to occur to him. He extended his hand and opened his palm..
“It will be my honor.”

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...
