The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 769

And was the man in front of Noelle really her husband? Because they had once been the closest people in the world, he knew everything about her.

That was why Noelle had felt an inexplicable familiarity toward Hendrix before and why she had instinctively wanted to get closer to him.

Sensing her concern, Hendrix asked, "You don't want to leave your mom, do you?"

After a moment of hesitation, Noelle nodded.

"Don't worry. I'm not planning to take you away right now," Hendrix said. "There are still things to deal with in Coppersville. I have to wait until everything is settled before we can go back. As for your mom, we can take her with us when we go back. Don't worry. I'll take good care of her for saving you.

"But you can't just listen to her and marry someone else. You're already my wife. If you marry another man, you'll be committing the crime of bigamy. And more than that, it would be completely irresponsible to me."
