The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Noelle returned to Coppersville. She wasn’t sure if Craig still had people watching her, but she made no effort to avoid meeting William.
They met at Quivo a famous restaurant in Coppersville. When Noelle arrived, William was already there, sitting in a chair with one leg crossed over the other and flirting with a waitress.
His
gaze was invasive, and his words were vulgar. The young waitress, visibly distressed, kept her head down while tightly gripping the menu.
Even though Noelle had prepared herself for this meeting, the sight of William still made her feel uneasy.
At that moment, William noticed her. He immediately got up and waved eagerly. “Luna!”
With clenched fists, Noelle approached the table.
The waitress, seeing her arrive, quickly set down the menu and fled as if she’d been granted amnesty.
William’s gaze lingered on the waitress‘ retreating figure for a moment before turning his attention back to Noelle. “Long time no see, Luna! You’re even more beautiful now!”
As he
spoke, he reached out to grab her hand, but Noelle instantly pulled back and glared at him coldly.
William chuckled and said, “What’s this about? I’m your father!”
“What do you want?” Noelle asked directly.
“Oh, don’t be so heartless, Luna. Regardless of what happened, I raised you for ten years. Now that you’ve hit the jackpot and become a Swanson, you’re just going to forget about me?”
Noelle’s face remained expressionless, but under the table, her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. This was the only way she could keep herself grounded, keeping her from walking away on the spot
William continued, “Ah, you know I’m not good for much. And after being locked up for so many years, this world feels like a completely different place. I have no other children. I only have you to rely on to take care of me at my old age.”
When he finished, Noelle couldn’t help but snicker. “Are you asking me to give you money?”
“A little bit of money is nothing for you, right? Especially now that you’re…”
“Didn’t you already go to Craig? Didn’t he give you money?
William was caught off guard by the mention of Craig, her biological father. His lips curled in dissatisfaction.” That father of yours is a stingy bastard. I had to practically beg just to get a measly few hundred thousand dollars from him. That’s barely enough to buy a house!”
“I don’t have money,” Noelle said flatly.
William’s eyes narrowed.
“I came here today to tell you that we have no ties anymore Don’t interfere in my life again from now on,” Noelle said, then stood up, getting ready to leave.
But Willian let out a cold laugh. “You’re joking, right? Now that you’re all rich and fancy, you’re going to just hang your father out to dry?

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...
