The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 585
"And yet, Dylan still chose to be with you. So, Ms. Swanson, the only reason you lasted this long with him is because he was willing to put up and make compromises with you. But what have you ever done for him?"
With those final words, Leah left.
Her last sentence wasn't spoken loudly, but it still felt like a heavy blow to Noelle's chest, reverberating in her mind.
It wasn't until some time later that Rosie came out of her room. She looked up at Noelle with concern and confusion. "Mommy?"
Hearing her voice, Noelle finally snapped out of her daze and turned to her.
"Was that Mr. Pritchett's mom just now?" Rosie asked. "Why was she being so mean to you?"
Noelle forced a smile. "She wasn't being mean. It's just a mother's instinct. Just like how I would chase away all the bad guys who try to hurt you, she's just trying to protect her own child."
"But Mommy, you're not a bad guy." Rosie looked even more confused.
"Wasn't she?" Noelle asked herself.
Over the past two days, she had indeed fallen into a sort of illusion. Just because Dylan had said he was tired of that life, and just because she was overjoyed at being chosen, Noelle had truly taken it for granted that she could enjoy all of this.
However, as Leah had said, Dylan had done so much for Noelle, yet what had she done for him in return? She had even given him so little in terms of emotional reciprocation.
"Everyone sees things differently." Noelle could only tell Rosie that. "You'll understand once you're all grown up."

Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
