Noelle simply smiled. “I don’t think that way, but I recently just got out of a failed marriage, so I’m not ready to jump into another one just yet, let alone have children‘
“I’ve told you. You just need to have the baby, and I’ll help you raise them,” said Leah.
Noelle put down her cutlery and, with a smile, said, “But I’m not ready to become a mother yet. I don’t want to do anything that would be unfair to the child.”
“Then, what about Dylan? Aren’t you being unfair to him, too? He’s already 34 years old. If he doesn’t get married and have children soon-
“That’s his business.”
“What did you say?”
Leah’s expression immediately darkened. She was so upset that she stood up abruptly.
Then, she turned to look at Dylan. “Did you see that? You always say I can’t tolerate anyone, but look at how she’s treating me! After all these years of raising you, is this what you brought me a woman who’s hellbent on giving me a stroke?”
“Alright. Calm down,” Roland finally spoke up.
But as soon as he did, Leah cut him off, “What? Are you trying to play the good guy now? Don’t act like you don’t know what’s going on. It’s because you’ve done nothing all these years that your son is acting out like this. He could have settled down with a nice woman, yet he chose this-”
“Mom!”
Leah was cut off before she could finish, as Dylan abruptly interrupted her. He even stood up, his face dark with
anger.
Finally, silence from Leah.
Dylan paid no more attention to them. Instead, he grabbed Noelle’s hand, and without another word, toward the door.
“Where are you going?” asked Leah through gritted teeth.
Dylan didn’t even bother to answer. He simply kept holding Noelle’s hand and walked out.
Noelle silently followed behind him.

To be honest, she was no stranger to family drama like this The difference was, she could tell Dylan’s parents genuinely cared about him–they just didn’t want him to be held back by her. Whereas with the Swansons, all they seemed to care about was draining her for whatever they could get.
On the way back, Dylan didn’t say a word. Noelle also stayed silent, quietly sitting beside him. When they arrived at the hotel, Dylan surprised her by getting out of the car with her.
“Go back and have a proper talk with them,” Noelle said to him.
Dylan smirked. “You think there’s anything left to talk about with them?”
They’re your parents, so it’s understandable for them to be upset once they’ve found out you’ve been deceiving them all along.”
Dylan’s expression visibly changed once he heard Noelle’s words.

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...
