The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 531

Hendrix's grip on Noelle's arm was tight—so tight that it felt like he was about to crush her bones.

Noelle couldn't help but furrow her brows from the pain. But she didn't make a sound. Instead, she simply looked at him intently.

Then, she said softly, "You know, when Rosie fell ill, the first person I thought of was you. I wanted to call you, but I couldn't muster the courage. Because I knew I had hurt you by leaving, and I didn't know how you felt about me or Rosie.

"Later, Seline told me that you were planning to get married through a matchmaking arrangement and that you knew about Rosie's condition but chose to ignore it—"

"That was a misunderstanding!" Hendrix interrupted her. "When I met Seline back then, I thought she was talking about your work on set. That's why I didn't—"

"I know. But what about after that?" Noelle asked.

A frown slowly appeared on Hendrix's forehead, as if he didn't understand what she meant by "after that".

Noelle curled her lips into a faint smile. "After you learned of the situation, why did you treat me and Roise that way? You knew how much Rosie meant to me. If we had just sat down and talked things through back then, maybe there could have been a chance for us, but you didn't.

"From start to finish, all you thought about was using Rosie to force me into submission. You have no idea how desperate I felt, watching Rosie grow paler by the day while you refused to sign that consent form.
