The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 55
Chapter 55
After a brief pause, Noelle turned back and said, “Go ahead and tell them.”
Her response left William stunned. Before he could react, Noelle had already walked away.
Furious, William slammed his hand on the table and got up to follow her, only to be stopped by a waiter. “Sir, you haven’t settled your bill yet.”
“What bill? I didn’t even order anything!”
“Sir, even without ordering, we still charge a seating fee,” said the waiter, his eyes scanning William with unconcealed disdain.
William trembled with anger. He was about to slap his bank card–which held his last 50 thousand dollars–onto
bankcard the waiter’s face when another voice interjected, “I’ll take care of it.”
Hearing the voice, William’s expression shifted abruptly. He turned around to see Sandra handing her card to the waiter.
She then turned and smiled at him. “You must be Mr. Kaplan, right?”
“And you are?”
“I’m Noelle’s sister, Sandra.”
“Ah, the little orphan the Swansons picked up.” William sneered, his gaze roaming over Sandra. “What? You got something to say to me?”
William’s gaze and tone made Sandra’s skin crawl, but she kept her composure, smiling faintly as she said, “Mr. Kaplan, I overheard your conversation with Noelle just now
“Oh? And?”
“You’re in need of money now, aren’t you?” Sandra grinned before continuing, “I have an idea to make Noelle willingly support you. Would you like to hear it?”
Noelle walked out of the restaurant with hurried footsteps, as if she were running from something terrifying.
In reality, she knew that William could no longer truly hurt her. She wasn’t the powerless little girl who didn’t know how to fight back anymore.
Yet, seeing him again still instilled fear in her. Like a young elephant tied to a stake, she felt like she would never be able to escape that stake for the rest of her life.
Her anxiety caused her to dash across the street without checking for traffic. A car screeched to a halt, nearly knocking into her.
“Are you crazy?” the driver shouted at her.
Noelle didn’t respond and simply kept walking forward. The driver continued cursing, but she didn’t hear a word.
It wasn’t until much later, when she finally calmed down, that she noticed her phone ringing. She stared at the name on the screen for a long time before deciding to answer the call.

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...
