All Chapters of The Sway and Slide of Love: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

In the end, Noelle picked a buffalo wings bar. The fiery, finger-staining spicy wings were clearly an odd match for Hendrix in his sharp suit.However, Noelle didn't care.Truthfully, she wasn't sure what Hendrix was trying to do. Was he just treating her like a tool? But the way he was acting now didn't really seem to fit that.Even when they were still married, they rarely ate out alone. He would give her jewelry and accessories, but never did he send over cakes like this.Now, his behavior made Noelle feel like he was... trying to please her.The thought flashed in her mind, but she immediately pushed it aside."Do you like this?" Hendrix asked, clearly unfazed as he sat down across from her after they reached their seats."Yeah." Noelle nodded. "I grew up in Creston City. I can't live without spicy food."But after she moved back to the Swanson family, they wouldn't let her eat anything like this.In their eyes, food also seemed to be ranked—spicy food was out of the quest

Two days later, it was Hendrix's birthday.He had never really cared much about birthdays, but when his family insisted on throwing him a party this year, he didn't refuse. Noelle, of course, wasn't going to attend the event. Instead, Hendrix sent her a message in the evening, asking her to wait for him at Percy Gardens.The party was a success. Nearly everyone who mattered in the social circles had shown up. While the event wasn't open to the public, a few minor celebrities had managed to sneak in.Since Hendrix's divorce had become public knowledge, more people seemed eager to get close to him. Their motives were more obvious now—straightforward, even.Over the course of the night, Hendrix had his clothes ruined three times. By the time the last person spilled a drink on him, he didn't even bother to change. He simply pushed away the hand that tried to touch him."Mr. Freeman, why don't you let me clean that up for you?" The woman, wearing a strapless gown, looked at him with

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

Noelle seemed very solemn, but Brandon merely chuckled. "I guess you're right. I'm sorry. That was inconsiderate of me." He was very sincere when he apologized, and she looked a little pushy in comparison. Noelle also realized it. So, she apologized and said, "I got worked up just now.""It's fine. Your reputation is at stake, after all. It's only understandable that you reacted like that. It's my bad to begin with." The elevator door slid open as Brandon spoke. He was absolutely right when he said that the view on the balcony was wonderful up here. The distant neon lights flickered gently, and the blowing wind lifted Noelle's spirits. Brandon glanced at Noelle's reaction and confirmed that she was happy with this spot before he continued, "Actually, I'm quite against the idea of Maxwell and Sandra being together."Maxwell is my younger brother. Although I wasn't willing to accept that fact, blood is thicker than water. As far as I'm concerned, Sandra isn't a good choice for

"Mr. Freeman," Dan greeted when he saw Hendrix.Dan was at Coppersville Airport, and he could tell at first glance that Hendrix was displeased. He still handed the latter the file in his hand. "This is the data report from Zenvora. They have just sent it earlier. Please have a look at it."Hendrix cast a glance at it and asked, "And?""Huh?""What comes after the market valuation? How are they going to attract the investors? What about the relevant analysis report and media outreach plans?"Aside from that, Hendrix asked Dan a barrage of questions so overwhelming that the latter was stumped. Initially, he was walking, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around and looked at Dan, and his expression was as dark as coal. "I can look past it if they didn't know me well enough, but you've been working for me a long time now, Dan. How could you not have figured out something this simple?"Initially, Dan thought Hendrix would take a look at this report and determine
