The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 502 Hendrix had held back. After all, back then, he was the one who had been abandoned. For the one who was left behind, chasing after Noelle to ask why felt like admitting defeat.

So, since their reunion, Hendrix had never asked her this question. But now, he couldn't hold back any longer because he really wanted to know.

Noelle's actions back then had seemed contradictory to him. She said she didn't want to suffer with him, yet she refused to take anything that belonged to him.

At the time, he had given her so many things. Just taking one or two would have been enough to ensure her a comfortable life, but she had taken nothing.

So, the reason she gave was just an excuse to deceive him. Then, why did she really leave?

Hendrix stared at Noelle, desperate for an answer.

Noelle stood there, her eyes meeting his for a moment before she softly said, "Because I was pregnant at the time."

"What?"

"Had I not been pregnant then, I might have been able to stay with you. But I had a baby to think about, so I was unwilling to. I didn't want the baby to be dragged down by you."
