The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 118
Chapter 118
“I’ve prepared a gift for her. You can take it with you when the time comes,” Ophelia said. “That boy from the Quinlan family… His status may be lacking, but this is ultimately the Swanson family’s matter.
“I just hope the two of them can be happy.”
As Ophelia spoke, her gaze seemed fixed on Hendrix, as if waiting for his reaction.
But Hendrix remained calm, responding only with a brief um“.
Beatrice, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke up, “Noelle will probably be at the engagement banquet, right?”
That name was rarely mentioned in Freeman Manor anymore, but as soon as Beatrice said it, the other two in the room slightly frowned.
“Isn’t she no longer connected to the Swanson family?” Ophelia asked, glancing at Hendrix.
Hendrix continued eating without a change in expression, the slight furrow in his brows fading as though it had never been there.
Beatrice replied, “There will be many media at the event. Regardless of the situation, the Swanson family will certainly maintain appearances.”
“Mm, that’s true.”
“So, I suggest Hendrix doesn’t attend,” Beatrice continued. “I’ll deliver the gift myself.” She turned to Hendrix, as if waiting for his opinion.
Hendrix didn’t respond.
Ophelia nodded slowly. “That works. After all, it’s just an engagement. It doesn’t matter who goes.”
“I’m done eating,” Hendrix said, setting down his utensils just as Ophelia finished speaking.
“And for the weekend…”
“Arrange it however you like,” Hendrix interrupted as if the matter wasn’t worth further discussion. “I have some work at the company, so I’ll head out first.”
With that, he stood up.
Ophelia watched his departing figure with a frown. When she turned back, she saw that Beatrice had resumed eating, as though nothing had happened.
The weekend arrived quickly.
The engagement banquet was held at the Quinlan family’s private residence.
White banquet tables were arranged neatly, and an elegant archway was adorned with fresh flower petals.
Since it was an engagement party, Sandra didn’t wear a wedding dress. Instead, she chose a light blue evening gown that perfectly accentuated her figure.
Her makeup, typically light and fresh, was now bold with winged eyeliner, red lips, and a polished look that gave her a sultry yet refined appearance.
Maxwell stood by her side as they

This moment would appear on the front pages of countless media outlets.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
