The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 575
The truth was, Noelle hadn't planned to go with Dylan today. Even if she no longer had any feelings for Hendrix, she knew this was Ophelia's memorial service.
Showing up as the ex-wife was already awkward enough, but arriving with Dylan would have been like a slap to the face to the Freeman family.
But Dylan had somehow found out she would be attending, so the moment she stepped out of the car, she ran into him. He told her he was also there to pay his respects to Ophelia as well. Given the circumstances, leaving him behind would've felt too deliberate.
At first, Dylan had tried to play it off as a coincidence, but that excuse was laughable at best. Now, as he brought it up again, Noelle didn't bother responding. She simply lowered her gaze, staring at her hands.
Dylan tightened his grip on the steering wheel before saying, "I wasn't trying to pull anything. I just thought, if you go alone, someone might make things difficult for you. That's why I wanted to accompany you."
It was still a poor excuse. But Noelle didn't call him out on it. Instead, she gave a quiet "mm" in response.
"What did Hendrix say to you just now?" Dylan asked.
"Nothing much. Just small talk," Noelle replied calmly.
Dylan wanted to press further, but the words got caught in his throat. He knew he was acting irrationally.
Hendrix was part of Noelle's past. If Dylan kept fixating on him, all he'd do was push her to think about him even more. Yet, he couldn't help himself.
Because he knew that after everything Noelle and Hendrix had been through, there was no way she felt nothing for him. Even Noelle had admitted it herself that a trace of Hendrix still lingered in her heart. But now, how much of that trace remained?

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...
