The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 497

Noelle knew that Hendrix had never lacked admirers. She had seen plenty of them before. Even just recently, hadn't he gone grocery shopping with another woman?

So, as long as Hendrix wanted, there were countless women eager to throw themselves at him. He had endless choices, and she would never be the "right" one. She wasn't before, and she certainly wasn't now.

At this moment, Noelle could clearly sense Hendrix's stiffness and the way his gaze lingered on her scar. She suddenly felt like laughing.

"So, are you sure you want to continue?" she asked with a smirk.

When she finished speaking, Hendrix finally raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were still as deep as ever, betraying no hint of emotion.

Noelle was about to say something else, but before she could, he lowered his head. Then, his lips landed softly on her scar.

The gentle touch made Noelle's expression change instantly. She struggled, trying to get up. But Hendrix quickly pinned her down.

"You—" She tried to say something, but he quickly covered her lips with his.

She had already forgotten the last time she felt this way—a dizzying, uncontrollable spiral.

She had meant to say something to him, like asking if he would agree to the surgery after tonight's deal. She hadn't mentioned it at first because she didn't believe he would actually follow through until the end.

After all, she knew exactly how picky Hendrix could be. He always pursued perfection, so how could he remain unaffected after seeing the scar?

No, he wasn't unaffected. In fact, he kissed that scar countless times afterward.
