The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 644

At the Swift residence, Marla had only just managed to muster the mood to eat when she heard the household staff say, "Mr. and Mrs. Swift, Mr. Freeman has come again."

She immediately put down her cutlery and asked through gritted teeth, "What does he want this time?"

"Mr. Freeman said he has something to discuss with both of you."

"What could he possibly have to discuss with us? Go tell him I won't see him!"

With that, Marla stood up and headed upstairs.

Marshall remained in his seat, and after pondering for a moment, he finally said, "Tell him to leave, as we're not available to see guests today."

"I've already told him that, but he still insists—"

"Then, forget it. If he wants to wait, let him wait."

With that, Marshall also left the dining room. He had thought that by doing this, Hendrix would leave. But to his surprise, he didn't. It was only after he had spent a long time reading in his study that he learned that Hendrix was still waiting downstairs.

Coppersville was still experiencing low temperatures today. Snowflakes drifted from the sky, landing on Hendrix's shoulders, making him look all the more desolate.

After watching for a while, Marshall finally had the household staff invite Hendrix in.

"What exactly do you want, Mr. Freeman?" Marshall asked impatiently. "It's been days now, yet you keep coming here—anyone would think my family was in some kind of trouble."
