The sway and slide of love novel

Chapter 77 All Noelle felt now was a biting chill in her heart ..

+25 BONUS Why ? she asked Hendrix .

Hendrix didnt like being pressed like this , and a trace of imitation flickered in his eyes .

Noelle didnt wait for him to respond .

She continued , Is it because we were married for two years , and you you understand me and trust me ? Or is it because … you had something to do with last nights events ? think Hendrix had no reaction to the first half of her sentence .

But when he heard the latter part , his expression darkened instantly .

What are you trying to say ? No , you probably didnt orchestrate it , Noelle went on , speaking more to herself than to him .

After all , youre such a high and mighty man , Mr.

Freeman .

You wouldnt stoop to such methods .

But you mustve known about it , didnt you ? Her voice grew colder , steadier .

That includes the time Wiliam showed up at that restaurant .

It wasnt a coincidence , was it ? Until now , Noelle hadnt considered the possibility .

But Sandras phone call earlier had sparked something in her .

After all , that restaurant was in a hidden location .

If Liam hadnt taken her there before , even she wouldnt have known it existed .

So , how could William have known ? The only person who knew her past and would be so eager to ruin her was Sandra But what about Hendrix ? What role had he played in all of this ? Was he just standing idly by ? Was he waiting for her to hit rock bottom so he could reach out a hand and make her grateful to him like training a dog ? When Noelle finished speaking , Hendrix suddenly chuckled So what ? Are you questioning me now ? Do I not even have the right to know the truth ? Noelle retorted .

What truth ? What do you think I would gain from doing any of this ? You didnt do it , Noelle replied .

But youre aware of it .

You knew everything and let it happen , didnt you ? Hendrix didnt deny it .

Noelle Laughed again .

Then , she stood up without hesitation .

But just as she turned to leave , Hendrixs voice rang out behind her , And why should I have stopped it ? Or rather , who am I to step in ? Dont forget .

Were already divorced .

Then , he added , If you were still my wife , perhaps I would ve- Would you ? Really ? Noelle stopped and turned back to face him , cutting him off mid sentence .

Sandra is the one behind all of this .

Between the two of us , would you really take my side ? Without waiting for his answer , Noelle scoffed and answered her own question , You wouldnt .

If you had taken my side , we wouldnt have gotten divorced in the first place .

So , dont bring up this nonsense about how things would be different if we were still married .

Let me tell you plainly .

The reason I divorce you was because of Sandra ! The words poured out of Noelle in a single breath .

1/2 Chapter 77 +25 BONUS She hadnt planned to say it .

After all , she had always thought it was pointless .

Besides , she hadnt said anything about it when they were still married .

So , what was the point of bringing it up now ? But in the end , she couldnt hold it in any longer .

If she didnt let it out , she felt like it would suffocate her .

Hendrix stood there , staring at her for a long moment before finally saying , Sandra and I are just friends .

Yes .

Just friends , Noelle said with a laugh .

But even as just a friend , shes more important to you than I ever was .

The moment the words left her mouth , her tears began to fall .
