The sway and slide of love novel

Ophelia seemed to be in high spirits .

When Hendrix walked in , he overheard her excitedly chatting with someone , her hearty laughter filling the room .

Grant was the first to notice him .

He smiled and said , Mr.

Freeman is back .

Hendrix gave a brief nod in acknowledgment , then turned his attention to Ophelia waved enthusiastically at him .

Come and take a look at this .

What is it ? o Ophelia Hendrixs smile remained for a moment , but it faded slightly when his eyes landed on the tablet screen .

What do you think of this one ? Shes the Johnson familys daughter .

Last time , she was at … Why are you looking at these things ? Hendrix asked as he straightened up , clearly uninterested .

What are you saying ? Naturally , Im looking for a potential granddaughter in law .

Look .

I was saying Im not thinking about that for now , Hendrix cut her off I didnt say you had to get married now ! Im just asking you to take a look .

And if theres someone suitable , you can get to know them first before getting engaged , Ophelia protested .

This time , we need to be more careful .

We cant end up with someone like Noelle again .

That was truly a mistake .

Hendrixs brows furrowed involuntarily .

Why are you suddenly bringing up Noelle again ? Am I wrong ? I heard she had an improper relationship with that adoptive father of hers .

It makes sense now why she so easily agreed to divorce she mustve been guilty .

Hendrixs expression darkened .

Who told you this ? Ophelia picked up on the shift immediately , and she narrowed her eyes .

Whats wrong ? You seem upset .

Im not upset , but thats already a matter concerning someone whos no longer part of our lives .

Theres no need to listen to those kinds of stories anymore .

And you shouldnt bother with the people who bring them up in front of you , either , Hendrix said .

Well ..

I suppose youre right .

But Sandy means well .

She comes by every day to chat with me , just trying to keep me company .

She mustve let something slip , thats all .

Dont misinterpret her intentions , Ophelia explained .

Hendrix furrowed his brow but merely nodded .

Dont change the subject .

Im talking about finding a potential granddaughter in law , Ophelia continued , handing the tablet back to him .

Take a look .

Dont worry .

Eve picked women of good character this time .

What happened with Noelle wont happen again .

I already said Im not thinking about this for now .

Youre just … Ophelia seemed ready to say more , but a mad entered with a food container before she could .

Mrs.

Freeman Senior , Ms.

Sandra dropped by and left this for you , the maid said .

Where is she ? She already left .

+25 BONUS Chapter 01 Why did she leave ? Go and bring her back immediately ! Ophelia suddenly became anxious .

Not only did she instruct the maid , but she also gave Hendrix a shove for good measure .

Left with no choice , Hendrix stepped outside .

He spotted Sandra just as she was about to get into her car .

Sandra .

When Sandra heard his voice , she quickly stopped .

Then , she slowly looked up with red rimmed eyes .

Rix … Hendrix stood at the top of the stairs .

Grandma wants you to come in .

L ..

Its fine .

I just wanted to bring something for her .

I probably wont be able to come by as often anymore .

When Sandra finished speaking , Hendrix didnt respond immediately .

Sandra bit her lip and couldnt hold back any longer .

Rix , Im getting engaged .

Did you know that ?
