The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 556
Even though Dylan sounded calm, Noelle could feel an underlying pressure in his words.
She paused for a moment before responding, "It's not what you think—"
"I know," Dylan quickly said with a smile. "You don't need to be so nervous. Others might not understand the situation between you and Hendrix, but I do. He must have had someone trick you into going there, right? And no matter what, you'd never abandon Rosie. So, I believe you."
He spoke patiently, sounding as if he was offering Noelle an explanation for herself. Yet, at the same time, it felt as if he was placing a heavy burden on her.
"You probably didn't sleep a wink last night, right? Go get some rest now," Dylan added as he stood up. "I'll head back to my room now."
Noelle nodded.
But as Dylan passed by her, he suddenly stopped and took a step closer to her.
The sudden closeness startled Noelle, and she instinctively took a step back.
Dylan couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. "Did I scare you?"
His voice carried a hint of teasing, but there was also a trace of self-deprecation.
Noelle suddenly froze. She opened her mouth to explain, but before she could say anything, he said, "Don't worry. I wasn't planning on doing anything. Go get some rest."
With that, he turned and left.
Noelle stood there, suddenly feeling a bit lost. It was a long moment before she finally went into the bedroom.
Rosie was still asleep on the bed. She seemed to be feeling insecure, as she was curled up into a small ball and clutching her plushie tightly.
Noelle felt an ache in her heart when she saw her like this. After a moment, she lay down beside Rosie and gently pulled the little girl into her arms.

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...
