The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 201
Chapter 201
Noelle simply smiled. She waited until Ruth had entered before lifting her gaze to welcome the next guest.
“Welcome.”
As she got to the last syllable, her voice noticeably softened, and her smile faltered for a brief moment. But she quickly regained her composure, her smile blossoming once more.
“Hello, Mr. Freeman.”
She wasn’t sure when Hendrix had arrived, but judging by the presence of others behind him, it seemed he must have overheard her exchange with Ruth.
Hendrix quickly swept past Noelle with his gaze before walking up to Craig.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
It wasn’t even a second that they shook each other’s hands before releasing them again.
Noelle, however, was no longer looking at him. Instead, she turned her attention to the other guests, her smile still as bright as ever.
There were over a thousand guests today. Just the greeting portion alone made Noelle feel like her smile was about to freeze on her face. The next part of the event no longer required her, so she took the opportunity to slip away and get some fresh air in the corridor.
She pulled out a cigarette from her purse and was about to light it when she realized she had forgotten to bring lighter. After rummaging through her purse and confirming it wasn’t there, she reluctantly gave up.
Just as she was about to toss the cigarette from her fingers, she heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, she hadn’t yet
had a chance to discard it when the other person’s gaze quickly fixed on it.
Though Noelle had long since stopped caring about the opinions of others, seeing the furrowed brows on the person’s face made her pause for a moment. However, she quickly smiled and said, “Mr. Freeman, shouldn’t you be inside right now?”
Hendrix didn’t answer, nor did Noelle press the issue further. Instead, she snapped the cigarette in half and threw it into the trash. Then, she turned around.
“The situation in Vinton City isn’t as simple as you think,” Hendrix suddenly said.
Noelle paused for a moment but quickly nodded. “I know.”
“You might end up with nothing, and I mean, including yourself.”
His words made Noelle laugh. Then, she answered him seriously, “Mr. Freeman, I was born with nothing to begin with.”
After saying this, she didn’t wait for his reply and continued walking forward.
“Stop smoking,” Hendrix suddenly said from behind her. “‘s bad for your health!”
Noelle paused for a moment, but she didn’t turn around. Instead, she simply kept walking forward.
Bad for her health? She didn’t know what to make of this bit of concern from him. There was no relationship

between them anymore. Although their past interactions were characterized by a mixture of harshness and occasional kindness, Noelle no longer wanted even that small gesture of sweetness.

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...
