The Sway and Slide of Love의 모든 챕터: 챕터 811 - 챕터 820

When Hendrix returned, Noelle was still engrossed in the files on her computer—so much so she didn't even notice he had come back."What are you looking at?" Hendrix whispered into her ear.Startled, she instinctively moved to block the screen before turning to ask, "How do you walk without making any sound?"Hendrix glanced at her computer screen. There was nothing scandalous—just some of her past work, things he had already seen.He had even bought all of her published works. For a while, anyone entering his office would spot, amid stacks of documents, a few brightly colored comic books on his desk.The covers featured intimate poses between a man and a woman. Normally, this wouldn't be noteworthy, but paired with Hendrix's image, the contrast was jarring.He knew what people whispered behind his back, but he simply ignored them.Now, with just one look at her screen, he could pinpoint exactly where the story had progressed. Oh, the male lead was about to kneel in the rain to

Marla returned to the hospital. She had intended to tell Dylan what happened at Roselle Court, but when she arrived at the ward, he was gone.She asked the nurse, but even the nurse didn't know. Thus, she called Dylan. The phone rang, but no one answered.Marla couldn't help but frown. She glanced at Marshall lying in the hospital bed. The emotions she had kept under control until now surged as she took in his sleeping face and graying temples. Tears began to fall uncontrollably."Honey, what should we do now?" she asked.Of course, Marshall couldn't answer.Marla's eyes reddened further. She covered her face with her hands as tears dripped down one by one.Just then, her phone rang. Seeing the number, she quickly wiped her face and composed herself before answering."Hello?""Bad news, Mrs. Swift." The voice on the other end was frantic. "Mr. Stein has run off with the company's funds."Marla listened, but she gave no reaction or reply.The caller waited anxiously for her re

"Marshall has passed away."When Hendrix told Noelle this, she froze for a brief moment.Then, she looked at him with confusion, as if seriously trying to recall who he was talking about."He's Seline's father," Hendrix informed her.At these words, Noelle's eyes widened slightly.Only after a while did she ask in disbelief, "How? Didn't you say—""The hospital said he suffered a sudden heart attack while he was in a coma. The doctors actually responded very quickly, and his condition wasn't even critical. They think he didn't make it because maybe, deep down, he didn't want to live anymore."Hendrix's voice was very calm, yet the words still sent a jolt through Noelle.It took her a while before she found her voice again. "What about Dylan? Has he been found?"Hendrix shook his head. "The police are already preparing to issue a warrant for his arrest. Under this circumstance, it's even more unlikely he'll show himself.""Then, what about Mrs. Swift?" Noelle asked with a frow

After Erwin hung up the phone and returned, he found that Hendrix had already opened the door. Not only that, but he was also in the process of contacting the captain to prepare a speedboat for him."Where are you going?" Erwin asked."Home.""This is a victory party. Everyone's here, and you're leaving early?"Hendrix glanced at the people on the yacht. They had drunk quite a bit by now and were getting a little wild. This scene wasn't unfamiliar to Hendrix.But whereas he could at least tolerate it as a bystander before, now, he couldn't even stand to stay a minute longer."It's enough that you're here," he answered Erwin curtly."How is that the same?" Erwin blocked his way, refusing to let him leave. "We barely get together like this. Everyone even moved the party here to accommodate you. What more do you want?""I'll cover the expenses.""That won't do, either. Do you think I'm desperate for that little bit of money?" Erwin rejected without hesitation.Hendrix ignored hi

It was the dead of winter. The howling sea winds tangled Noelle's hair, her slender figure appearing even more fragile against the night's desolation. Frowning, she studied the figure before her with wariness and unfamiliarity. Erwin had originally planned to have someone put on an act for Noelle—just as he had told Hendrix earlier—to test her. But Hendrix had outright rejected the idea."I know she would risk everything for me, but I don't want her to. And I especially don't want her to later find out it was just a farce. What we have doesn't need to be proven like this."Hendrix had spoken with absolute certainty, yet that only made Erwin want to punch him more. He knew that the real reason Hendrix said that was to show off. Because the crux of his words lay in that first line—he knew Noelle would risk everything for him.So, where did this unshakeable confidence and boldness come from?Only seeing Noelle in front of him now did Erwin realize Hendrix's confidence wasn't due to
