Noelle remained silent. She wanted to explain, but she just didn’t know how to start. But when the words reached her lips, she ultimately said nothing, quietly swallowing her voice instead.
Hendrix had probably long forgotten these things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suggested vacationing in that same place.
So, Noelle understood that what they once called their “intense” emotions was nothing but an illusion, because if he truly liked her, he wouldn’t have forgotten about this incident.
Just like her when she liked him, she wanted to engrave every moment and every detail of their time together into her memory. But Hendrix didn’t, which meant he never really liked her.
He had chosen her, but it was only because of the compatibility of their bodies.
This time, Noelle came to Dynalis alone, but she had meticolously planned her trip. She even found a professional local guide online.
The guide was a student studying abroad, sporting clean, short hair and exuding a warm and outgoing personality.
“Are you Noelle Swanson?” As soon as Noelle retrieved her suitcase, the guide approached her, holding a sign with Noelle’s name written on it.
“Hi, I’m Seline Swift. We contacted each other before.”
Noelle nodded. “Alright.”
“I have booked the hotel for you. Let’s go,” Seline spoke while leading her.
She was a professional guide, chatting with Noelle along the way about the local scenery and even asking about her dietary preferences to plan suitable restaurants.
“Tomorrow, we’ll start with Amberleaf Chapel,” Seline said. “It’s a workday, so it shouldn’t be too crowded. The place has been incredibly popular these past two years. It’s impossible to get in during holidays.”
“Alright.” Noelle had no objections.
Seline noticed Noelle’s aloofness but wisely chose to keep quiet.
Fortunately, the next two days went relatively smoothly. While Noelle seemed disinterested in everything, she never objected to Seline’s plans. Seline had navigated this itinerary countless times, making everything run seamlessly.
That was until the third day when Noelle bumped into Hendrix at a bar.
He wasn’t alone. Beside him stood someone Noelle was all too familiar with–Sandra.
At that moment, Seline was enthusiastically explaining the unique offerings of the bar.
Over the past few days, even though Noelle’s interest in anything seemed minimal, she had at least responded to Seline’s remarks. But now, she did not respond at all.
Seline glanced curiously at Noelle, sensing the tension in the air. She was about to ask something when Sandra walked over with a bright, saccharine smile.
“Noelle, what a coincidence!”
Noelle remained silent, her face devoid of expression.

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👨👩👧...
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.

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...
