The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 706

"So, you didn't manage to smooth things over with Noelle?"

The voice came from beside Hendrix, and he turned to see Beatrice looking at him with a gleeful expression.

Hendrix pressed his lips together, then reminded her, "You're my mother."

"I know that, of course," Beatrice replied. "But that doesn't mean I should throw out all reason and take your side when you're in the wrong."

"Is that so? And here I thought you were enjoying all the drama," Hendrix said calmly.

Beatrice froze for a moment, then laughed. "Not at all. Besides, didn't I create an opportunity for you today?"

Hendrix didn't respond to that. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the mother and daughter in front of him.

Noelle and Rosie were both seated on horseback, with a staff member from the equestrian club leading them in a slow circle.

"Don't worry. They'll be fine," Beatrice said, noticing how tense he was.

Hendrix simply grunted in reply. But it seemed he wasn't entirely focused on the scene before him.

"Did something happen?" Beatrice finally asked, catching on belatedly.

"No," Hendrix replied quickly.
