Chapter 471
“No!” Seline said.
Frustrated at getting interrupted repeatedly, Marla simply teached out and covered Seline’s mouth to finish what she had to say.
“This time, the person they introduced is Mr. Freeman from Amity Group.‘
Seline had been about to yank Marla’s hand away, but upon hearing those words, she froze mid–motion. Then, she slowly turned to look at her.
It took a long while–long enough for Marla to remove her hand from Seline’s mouth–before Seline finally reacted.
“Who did you say it was? Which Mr. Freeman from Amity Group are we talking about?” she asked in disbelief.
“Come on! How many Mr. Freemans do you know are working in Amity Group right now?” countered Marla with a roll of her eyes. “Nathan was sent abroad by Hendrix a few years ago. They said it was for training, but let’s be honest, it was practically an exile.
“So, you see, he’s truly ruthless. Even his own brother wasn’t spared. No wonder your father said-”
“Stop!” Seline cut her off before the conversation could veer further off track. “Let’s get back to what you just said. Are you telling me Hendrix wants to go on a blind date with me?”
“Yes! So, what do you think? Isn’t he a great catch?”
“Are you crazy?” Seline shot back. “Or rather, is Hendrix crazy? Does he not know about my relationship with Noelle?”
“Exactly! That’s why I rushed to tell you about this. Don’t you think this is important?” Marla was dead serious.
Seline suddenly found herself unable to come up with a reply.
“So, are you going to meet him or not?” Marla pressed.
“Of course I…” Seline had been about to refuse outright, but she swallowed her words back down.
“The fact that he wants to go on a blind date with me probably means he’s meeting other women, too, right?”
“Who knows? Maybe you’re the first?”
“What? So Hendrix is still in the market for a relationship and marriage? Have you seen Noelle lately? I saw her today, and she’s practically skin and bones!” said Seline, trembling with rage.
Marla, however, remained calm. “Well, it’s not like he knows anything about that, right? Besides, he’s not exactly young anymore. So, isn’t it normal for him to want to settle down?”
Seline had no response to that.
“So, are you going or not? I need to give them an answer.”
“Fine! I’ll go,” Seline said through gritted teeth. “But only because I want to find out exactly what that heartless scumbag is thinking!”
With that, she turned to leave, but Marla quickly grabbed her arm. “Wait! You can’t just go like this.”
“Why not? Don’t tell me I have to put on a formal dress or something.”

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...
