“Here.”
Once inside the study, Beatrice handed Noelle an envelope.

Noelle was puzzled but took it anyway. When she opened it she found a check and a small note that contained flight details.
A shiver ran down her spine. She looked up sharply. “What.”
“My private plane,” Beatrice said. “The flight’s already booked. To Nestville. But once you arrive, you can take a car somewhere else. If you have another place in mind, let me know, and I’ll arrange it for you.”
Her voice was steady, and each word was crystal clear.
However, Noelle felt like she couldn’t understand what Beatrice was saying.
“Don’t you want to leave?” Beatrice asked. “Elm Group’s situation has been settled. Nothing is keeping you here anymore.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of Hendrix. He won’t stop you.”
It was only then that Noelle truly understood what she meant. Her voice quavered as she asked, “What are you planning to do?”
Beatrice merely smiled.
Noelle bit her lip. “I don’t know what’s going on between you and Hendrix, but… this is between him and me. I don’t want anyone else involved.”
With that, she handed the envelope back.
Beatrice’s expression faltered bit by bit. But soon, she smiled again. “Alright. That’s your choice. I won’t interfere. But remember. This is a one–time opportunity. If you miss it, there won’t be another.”
“Mrs. Freeman,” Noelle suddenly called.
Beatrice looked at her but said nothing.
“Did something happen?” Noelle asked.
Beatrice chuckled. “What could possibly happen to me?”
Noelle pursed her lips before saying, “You know, every time I think about our last conversation before your accident, I regret it. Like Sandra said, I wasn’t careful enough. I didn’t notice something was wrong.
“Even if knowing wouldn’t have changed anything, what if it had? What if I had done something? Would things be different now? So please… tell me this time. I don’t want to regret it again.”
Beatrice’s expression shifted, but she quickly averted her gaze. “There’s no reason. I just got tired of this life.” “Then, why don’t you leave?”
“How?” Beatrice scoffed. “You know what Hendrix is like. Do you think he’d let me go?”
Noelle wanted to say more, but Beatrice cut her off, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve already made up my mind. You were right. I shouldn’t interfere in what happens between you and him. But at the same time, what happens between us

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...
