The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 2
The person speaking was Sandra's good friend, Ruth Upton. She was a heiress of a wealthy family.
Ruth and Sandra had grown up together. She had always been the biggest supporter of Hendrix and Sandra's relationship. Now that Noelle had become Hendrix's wife instead, it came as no surprise that Ruth was unfriendly toward her.
Even when she noticed Noelle standing at the door, she didn't feel the least bit embarrassed or uneasy about what she'd said.
It was Sandra who greeted her first. "You're here, Noelle."
Noelle nodded. "I'm here to take you home. Have you packed your things?"
"Yes. I'm all set. Let's go," Sandra replied good-naturedly.
Ruth couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mr. Freeman? Sandy is being discharged today. Isn't he coming to pick her up?"
"He's gone to the office," Noelle replied.
"Oh, he seems really busy. I wonder if he's too busy to come or if you didn't let him come," Ruth conjectured with disdain.
Before Noelle could respond, Sandra interrupted softly, "Ruth, stop it."
Ruth chuckled coldly. "Why can't I talk about this? Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Noelle didn't argue with her. Instead, she unlocked her phone and scrolled to Hendrix's number in her contacts. Then, she handed the phone to Ruth.
"What do you mean by this?" Ruth asked.
Noelle replied seriously, "Aren't you curious whether I'm preventing him from coming? Call him and ask him yourself."
"You…" Ruth was about to lose her temper, but Sandra hastily grabbed her hand and shook her head.
She pleaded, "Don't argue with Noelle."
"You're just too nice." Ruth gritted her teeth. "That's why others climb over your head!"
Noelle didn't bother responding to Ruth's remarks. She grabbed Sandra's suitcase and walked ahead. As soon as she got into the car, her phone rang.
It was Matilda calling. "Did you pick up Sandy?"

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...
