The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 40
Chapter 40
Matilda’s words prompted Noelle to descend into utter silence.
The already cramped room seemed even more suffocating with her en silence. Matilda’s heart couldn’t help
but race when Noelle’s calm eyes fixed on her.
She knitted her brows and uttered, “L…”
“Please leave,” Noelle stated.
Her request stunned Matilda in place. After a while, she questioned in disbelief, “What did you say?”
“Please leave and never come here again.”
Noelle spoke confidently, “If I wasn’t clear enough, I’ll inform the media and make a public statement that I’ll sever ties with the Swansons. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about me humiliating your family.”
Matilda sprang up at her words before delivering a harsh slap across Noelle’s face. She had done a new set of manicures a few days ago, with diamonds inlaid on her nails.
When her long nails slashed across Noelle’s cheek, they tore up her flesh before blood slowly emerged from the
However, Noelle barely flinched from the pain. Instead, she stared as calmly as always at Matilda.
“You… You think you’re all tough now, don’t you? You’re my daughter, Noelle. How dare you be so defiant
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’re making me marry the Hawthorne family for your benefit, aren’t you?” Noelle interrupted her. “Otherwise, you guys wouldn’t be so eager to see me.”
She asked, “Did something happen to the company? Never mind. I don’t care. It’s not like I want anything from the Swansons, anyway.”
“How mighty of you! Let me remind you that we were the ones who raised and nurtured you. Where did you think that money came from?”
Matilda became bold. “And that woman lying in the hospital? If it weren’t for us, she would’ve died a long time ago!”
She continued, “I know you never see me as your mother. Instead, you’ve long regarded that woman as your family. I bet you would’ve lived at the hospital if we hadn’t stopped you from seeing her.
“What can she even offer you? She’s nothing but an illiterate country bump-
“She gave me love. A lot of it,” Noelle interjected. “If she hadn’t protected me with her life, I would’ve been assaulted by that bastard. Now, my biological mother, what did you do at that time?

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...
