Chapter 288
Noelle subconsciously glanced at the person in the hospital room after hearing the secretary’s words.
Dylan was sitting quietly there.
Looking at him, Noelle suddenly remembered the hug he gave her that morning. She knew that her relationship with him was purely contractual, including their marriage, but all she wanted at that moment was a hug.
She knew this went beyond the scope of their agreement, but Dylan didn’t bring it up, and neither did she.
Perhaps Noelle had been looking at him for too long. Dylan sensed something unusual and immediately looked
over at her.
Noelle took a deep breath. “I need to go back to the company for a while. I’ll arrange for a nurse to come over. As for here…”
“It’s fine. Go ahead,” Dylan quickly replied. “I don’t have much to do today anyway.”
“But..”
“Have you forgotten? We’re getting married soon, so your father is my father–in–law. Isn’t it normal for me to take care of him?”
Dylan’s words rendered Noelle speechless.
It was clearly not appropriate to refuse again, so Noelle could only say, “Then, if you need anything, just call me, If he wakes up, ring for the doctor.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll head out now, okay?”
“Go ahead,” Dylan said as he gently ruffled her hair. “It’s probably too late now, but remember to have dinner when you get there, okay?”
“Okay. You, too.”
“I will.”
Dylan smiled at her again, and Noelle turned to leave.
It was already evening. The rush hour in Coppersville had started, but Noelle was driving in the opposite direction, heading toward the Swanson residence.
“Ms. Swanson!”
The secretary department was in disarray today, and when they saw Noelle, they immediately approached her as if she were their anchor.
Noelle maintained a poker face. “Where is he?”
“In the office…”
“Got it. You can go ahead with your work.” Noelle pushed open the door as she spoke.
Hendrix was sitting on the couch nearby. He wore a black suit today, with a matching shirt, no tie, and the top two buttons undone, giving him a more relaxed look.

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...
