When Noelle stepped out of the restroom, she happened to hear Seline say, "Please stop drinking. It hurts me to see you like this. Ugh!"
Seline was standing in front of the mirror, washing her hands while mimicking what Angela said to Hendrix. She had never liked Angela, but after tonight, her dislike had turned into outright disgust.
Noelle glanced at her and said, "She hasn't done anything to you, so why do you hate her so much?"
"Why do I hate her?" Seline widened her eyes as if Noelle had asked the most bizarre question.
"Why should I not hate her? Did you see how fake she was acting? And wasn't she subtly taking digs at you? She was basically saying you and Hendrix are ancient history! It's ridiculous! I wasn't even talking about that long ago when she was out shopping and checking into hotels with that other guy.
"Is Hendrix out of his mind? How can he even stand to be with a woman like her, who has nothing going for her? Do you think he's doing this just to provoke you? Honestly, I can't think of any other reason. Just the thought of having to see that woman again makes me sick. Why do you keep pulling me?"
Seline's words came out like a rapid-fire barrage, impossible to stop. Throughout the entire exchange, Noelle had tried to interject, but she couldn't get a single word in. In the end, all she could do was tug hard on Seline's hand.
Irritated, Seline furrowed her brows and shot Noelle an annoyed look. But Noelle wasn't looking at her.
The moment Seline noticed her gaze was fixed on something behind her, she immediately realized something was wrong. She quickly turned around, and standing at the entrance of the restroom was the very woman she had been tearing apart moments ago, smiling at them both.
Noelle had overheard plenty of gossip and badmouthing in restrooms before, but she never imagined she'd be the one caught in the middle of it.

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...
