The sway and slide of love novel

Chapter 397 Chapter 397 Hendrix didnt respond .

He simply let go of Erwins collar and strode forward .

Erwin , however , quickly caught up .

Alright , now .

Lets drop it .

Now , where am I staying ? Your place ? The hotel , Hendrix replied expressionlessly .

Erwin shrugged nonchalantly .

Hendrix had other matters to attend to and didnt bother sending him to the hotel .

But just as he was about to get into another car , Erwins voice rang out behind him , By the way , Noelle knows I landed today .

She even offered to host a little welcome dinner for me .

Youll also be there , wont you ? Hendrix turned to look at him .

Erwin smiled and said , No worries .

If youre not coming , we can always have dinner alone .

There was no way Hendrix wasnt going .

The moment he stepped into the private dining room , he went straight to Noelle to settle the score with her .

Didnt you say you wouldnt meet him alone ? What do you call this ? Noelle was stunned .

Wasnt it you who agreed to this first ? He said you were the one inviting him to dinner , so thats why I came .

Hendrix frowned .

It was only then that he realized that hed been played by Erwin .

Erwin didnt keep them waiting long .

A moment later , he stepped inside .

He had changed into a crisp white suit , even taking the time to properly fasten his tie , looking as if he were attending some formal banquet .

With his striking good looks , he resembled a prince straight out of an oil painting Even the waitress taking their order couldnt help but steal a few extra glances at him .

In public , Erwin always maintained a poised and graceful demeanor .

Even though Noelle could see the flicker of disdain in his eyes , his lips still carried a polite smile so effortlessly charming that it felt like the waitress was blushing a deep shade of red .

Once the waitress left , Erwin turned to Noelle .

Mrs.

Freeman , is this really how you host a guest ? What kind of place is this ? This is how things are here .

If you dont like it , you can always go back to Mondivera , Hendrix cut in .

Erwin raised an eyebrow , then he laughed .

No worries .

I think I can put up with it .

Hendrix said nothing in response .

Erwin didnt push further .

Instead , he smoothly shifted the topic to Mondiveras stock market .

Their conversation moved at a rapid pace , filled with countless financial jargons that went right over Noelles head .

After sitting for a while , she got up and headed to the restroom .

When she stepped out after washing her hands , she was startled to find Erwin already waiting outside for God knew how long .

1/2 Chapter 397 A cigarette rested between his fingers .

Noelle frowned and instinctively took a step back .

Seeing this , Erwin chuckled and asked , Are you afraid of me ? Noelles gaze landed on the cigarette between his fingers .

Im pregnant .

Her revelation made Erwin freeze for a split second .

Then , He let out a laugh .

That explains it .

I was wondering why Hendrix suddenly quit smoking .

So , what am I supposed to say Congratulations ? Congratulations ? now ? Noelle didnt respond .

+25 BONUS Do you actually want this child ? Erwin continued to ask .

That doesnt seem like you .

If I remember correctly , werent you planning to leave Hendrix ? And based on your traditional values , having a child would only make that harder for you .

Besides , I can tell Hendrix is deeply insecure when it comes to you right now .

Which means- Mr.

Lawson , are you genuinely trying to help me ? Noelle suddenly cut in .
