Chapter 46
The dinner passed quietly in the end.
Noelle didn’t return with Craig. She asked the driver to take her back to her apartment instead.
The driver glanced at Craig for confirmation. When Craig didn’t object, he switched on his turn signal and took a different route.
Noelle wasn’t in the mood to talk to Craig. She turned her head, staring out the car window.
But a moment later, her phone vibrated. She didn’t look at it
However, Craig spoke up, “That’s Liam, isn’t it?”
His words sounded like a reminder, but the underlying tone was clearly one of warning

unlocked her phone. Sure enough, the message was from Liam.
“It was a pleasure meeting you. I have two tickets to a concert tomorrow. I was wondering if you’d like to join me? Of course, I completely understand if you’re busy.”
Liam’s invitation wasn’t exactly abrupt, but his intentions were clear.
Noelle pursed her lips and replied, “Sure.”
After sending the message, she turned her phone toward Craig “Satisfied?”
Craig didn’t respond.
Noelle didn’t want to look at him anymore. She said flatly, Pull over here. I’ll walk the rest of the way.”
The driver didn’t answer, nor did he dare to stop.
Noelle glanced at Craig.
His brows were still furrowed, but he finally said, “Pull over.”
Only then did Noelle turn away from him.
Before Noelle could even push open the car door, Craig’s voice came from behind her, “Liam’s a good match. Though there are some problems with his leg, his overall prospects are promising. Do you understand?”
Noelle chuckled. “If he’s so great, why don’t you have Sandra marry him instead?”
Her words left Craig speechless.
Without waiting for a reply, Noelle simply closed the car door firmly and began walking away.
It was nearly 9:00 pm, but in this bustling city, the nightlife was just beginning. The neon lights flickered, and the streets buzzed with an endless stream of cars. Everything about it spoke to the city’s boundless energy.
However, Noelle felt like a detached observer–someone who didn’t belong. She knew all too well that none of this belonged to her. In this vast city, there wasn’t a single place she could call home,
The next day, she arrived on time for Liam’s invitation. The concert he’d mentioned wasn’t by any famous orchestra. Probably because it was a workday, it wasn’t very crowded.
Liam had arrived early and was waiting for her at the entrance.

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
