When Noelle saw Beatrice again, it was already two days later.
Beatrice took the initiative to ask Noelle out to grab some coffee.

Noelle didn’t know what her purpose was, but she didn’t refuse as well.
The moment they arrived at the café, Beatrice told Noelle, have decided to leave Coppersville.”
Noelle widened her eyes in surprise when she heard that. “W–What do you

“Is it because of that matter? You’re angry at Hendrix…”
mean?”
“No,” replied Beatrice, and she added, “And I can tell you that the reason why I’m leaving is because he has passed the test Hendrix gave him.”
Noelle’s pupils constricted a little when she heard what Beatrice said.
“So, you want to…”
“There are too many people in Coppersville that know us. Moreover, I’ve been suffocating while bearing the title of Mrs. Freeman for so many years now, and I don’t want that anymore. So, we’ve decided to find a place where nobody knows us and live a good life there. In simpler terms, we are eloping ”
Beatrice even smiled when she said that.

Noelle had always known that Beatrice was very beautiful, and Hendrix had gotten most of his looks from her. She used to just think that Beatrice was beautiful, like a painting, but just on the outside.
Now, her smile was so… moving.
Even Noelle felt her heart skip a beat now.
After a while, she said, “Hendrix doesn’t know, does he?”
“No, and I don’t plan to tell him.”
“This isn’t a good idea, is it? You’re his mother, after all, and this is so important…” Noelle quickly tried to stop

“So, I won’t let him know. Of course, I know that I’m selfish for doing that. But Noelle, I am already 50 years old. If I don’t live for myself now, then what is left of my life?” Beatrice said.
Noelle couldn’t retort back.
After a brief pause, she said, “Then, why did you tell me?”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
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...
