Chapter 431
“Don’t worry. I’ll spend the rest of my life with you,” Dylan said softly.
Was that a promise? It was a promise, wasn’t it?
Jean stood across from him, suddenly unsure. Her mouth opened slightly as she stared at Dylan in disbelief.
“No matter what, we’ll get married and grow old together. That’s my promise to your father, and I’ll definitely keep it. But I really have to go now to attend to some matters. If you don’t want to leave yet, feel free to keep shopping. I’ll see you tonight.”
With that, Dylan walked away.
This time, Jean didn’t stop him. She stayed rooted to the spot, as if frozen in place, unable to move.
So, it was a promise!
But a promise made to Brian–no, it wasn’t so much a promise as it was a condition.
Dylan said he would spend his life with her, and then what? What about the rest? Just a life together, but never any affection–was that what he meant?
This realization left Jean speechless, the pain in her chest unbearable. But soon, a name surfaced in her mind Noelle.
Why did Dylan react this way? Wasn’t it because of Noelle?
Yes! It was all because of Noelle! Everything was because of her!
Noelle quickly returned to Nivis Villa. Although she had bought a lot of things at the mall, they were all everyday items–hardly suitable as a birthday gift. So, after getting home, she began browsing online for ideas.
She was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice when Hendrix walked in.
“What are you looking at?” his voice suddenly rang out.
Noelle snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at him.
“Are you buying something?” Hendrix asked seriously, having only caught a glimpse of the web page.
“Not really,” she replied quickly, turning off her phone screen. “When did you get back?”
“Just now. I have a work dinner tonight, so I’ll be heading out again.”
He headed toward the walk–in closet as he spoke.
Then, as if remembering something, he added, “You went for a checkup today, right? Everything went well?”
Noelle paused, then nodded. “Yes. The baby’s doing fine.”
“Yup, I already know. The doctor told me so.”
By then, Hendrix had entered the walk–in closet.
Noelle glanced at the coat he had taken off and suddenly said, “I ran into Ms. Fisher at the mall today. She told me something.”
“Which Ms. Fisher are we talking about?” Hendrix paused mid–action, as if realizing something. “You mean Jean?

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...
