The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 

Noelle didn’t answer. She slowly took the stuffed animal from Clark’s hands. 

Clark immediately noticed something was off. “What’s wrong?” 

Noelle didn’t respond. She lowered her eyes and murmured, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.” 

“What happened?” he asked, his voice tinged with concern 

She took a deep breath. “Someone bumped into me just now.” 

Clark froze for a second. Then, as realization sank in, his expression shifted. “Which one?” 

“What?” 

“I said, which one?” His voice was sharp, and without waiting for her answer, he turned, scanning the crowd. 

At that moment, the man who’d bumped into Noelle walked up to another girl, still wearing that same sleazy grin. 

“Is that him?” Clark asked, eyes narrowing. 

Before Noelle could respond, he had already rushed forward and punched the man in the nose.

In that instant, he noticed the veins in Hendrix’s hands bulging, his lips pressed tight, and his eyes darkened with a chilling intensity. 

“I understand,“Hendrix said, his voice unnervingly calm. 

He hung up the phone, and Dan’s heart skipped a beat. Still he hesitated before asking, “Mr. Freeman, what-” Before he could finish, Hendrix was already on his feet, grabbing the car keys and heading out the door. 

Dan stood frozen for a second, letting out a quiet breath of relief before Hendrix’s voice broke the silence. “Follow 

me.”

Dan blinked in surprise but quickly obeyed, not daring to question it. He hurried to catch up to Hendrix.
