The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 

As soon as Noelle finished speaking, Hendrix let go of her arm. 

He could assume that she was just being sulky the first time she suggested divorce, but this was the second time. 

It didn’t seem like a joke anymore. 

“Noelle, what are you talking about?” Sandra could barely hold in her smile, but she still did her best to act surprised. “How can you talk about divorce so easily? You and Hendrix…” 

Noelle ignored her. She just stared at Ophelia. 

Ophelia came back to her senses quickly. “Are you threatening me, Noelle?” She had reacted the exact same way Hendrix had a few days ago. 

Noelle just laughed and shook her head. “No, I’m not. I’m serious.” 

Then, she turned to Hendrix. “We don’t love each other. There’s nothing tying us together. There’s no point in tormenting ourselves with this marriage, so we should just part ways.” 

Before Ophelia could say anything, Beatrice spoke up, “No! do not agree with this!” 

She had intended for Noelle to show some goodwill to Ophelia. She hadn’t expected to hear all that when she came. into the room. 

She walked over quickly. “Marriage is an important thing. You can’t just decide on these things on a whim. Your marriage was arranged 20 years ago. You can’t…” 

“Are you sure?” Hendrix interrupted. His question wasn’t directed toward Beatrice. 

“Ye., I’m sure,” Noelle said. 

“Alright. Don’t regret this.” 

“When are we going to the courthouse?” 

Both of them were calm. 

Beatrice’s expression was dark. “Hendrix Freeman!” 

“Mom.” Before Hendrix could say anything, Noelle looked over at Beatrice. “Thank you for your care and kindness for the past two years. Actually… I’ve been thinking about divorce for some time now 

“You told me once before that love and marriage are something to work on long–term, but I think I’ve given it my 

all now. 

“Maybe we just aren’t meant to be. 

“I’m sorry for disappointing you, but as Hendrix’s mother, you would want him to be happy, don’t you? You should be happy for him now.” 

Beatrice didn’t know how to answer that. 

Noelle backed away. “I’ll take my leave now. Goodbye.” 

With that, she turned and left. She really did seem like she had been contemplating divorce for some time. Because of that, she was able to sever her ties so easily today. 

Beatrice pursed her lips.
