The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 546

"Ms. Swanson!" a man called out excitedly from behind just as Noelle and Rosie reached the beach.

He was wearing only swim trunks and a pair of sunglasses. His tall frame and striking features drew plenty of attention from those around him, but he seemed completely used to it.

He walked up to Noelle with a grin. "What a coincidence to run into you here! By the way, where's your boyfriend?"

Noelle pursed her lips before replying, "Hello, Mr. Lawson. It's been a while."

"It has," Erwin said, removing his sunglasses and giving her a once-over.

He seemed unimpressed by her modest swimsuit. He clicked his tongue before asking, "Why aren't you wearing the outfit from earlier? Or is that just something special for your boyfriend?"

His words bordered on disrespectful, but Noelle knew he wasn't trying to flirt with her. Simply put, he didn't see her that way. From the woman who was just by his side, it was clear that he liked tall women with perfect figures.

Hendrix had mentioned before that Erwin changed girlfriends so quickly that it was hard to keep up. The faint interests he'd shown in Noelle before had only been because she was Hendrix's wife. He'd wanted to know what made her special enough to make Hendrix willingly be tied down.

Now that she no longer was Hendrix's wife, there was no way Erwin would still have any interest in her. At the moment, his words were more like an insult.
