The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 

“Noelle, you’ve won.” Hendrix stood in front of her, his voice low and hoarse. “But what makes you think I’ll let you go?” 

Noelle’s lips curled slightly. “I never expected you to let me go. In fact, if you want to keep this marriage going, even go through the wedding, I’ll play along. But let me tell you something–our life will always be like this. If you don’t mind that, then neither do I. 

“As for this child, I will love him with everything I have. But that has nothing to do with you. I’ll love him simply because he is mine.” 

Hendrix left. The door slammed shut with a forceful bang, and the entire house fell into silence. 

Noelle remained standing where she was. It was only after a while that she slowly slid downward until she finally sat on the cold floor. 

She had thought she wouldn’t feel pain. After all, she had planned for all of this. This outcome should have been within her expectations. 

And yet, she could still feel the slow, relentless ache radiating from her chest–like invisible needles stabbing into her heart, one after another. 

Even her lower abdomen throbbed in sync with her heartbeat, twisting in waves of pain. 

Instinctively, Noelle pressed a hand over it. As if sensing her reassurance and comfort, the life within her gradually calmed down. 

Noelle lowered her eyes. Her lips parted slightly before she finally found her voice. “Will you blame me?” 

Of course, the little one inside her couldn’t answer, and Noelle hadn’t expected a response. Because no matter what, she would still make the same choices. 

Without another word, she turned and headed back upstairs 

When she pulled open the bedroom curtains, she realized it had started snowing at some point. 

Winter had truly arrived. 

She sat alone on the bed, gazing out the window. If she wasn’t mistaken, this would likely be the last time she ever sat there. 

Hendrix was a proud man. Born into privilege and gifted with exceptional intelligence and striking looks, he had always gotten whatever he wanted since young. As a result, he never truly regarded anyone with importance. 

He could allow Noelle to hate him. He didn’t care how much resentment or curses she held against him, but he would never allow hatred to be the only thing she felt for hin 

And worse, a hatred without an expiration date. 

Sq, why should he bother? He had so many other choices–why waste any more time on her? 

Noelle firmly believed this. 

So now, she could actually start packing her things. 

But when she thought about it carefully, there was nothing she really needed to take. She had never been one to hold on to things that didn’t belong to her.
