"And I believe that even without the company, even if I have to start over from scratch, I can still live a good life. And even if I don't, I won't blame anyone, least of all you," Dylan said.
After he finished speaking, Noelle finally felt herself relaxing.
"So, that's what you've been doing all day? Worrying and overthinking about this whole thing?"
"Yeah," Noelle replied, then suddenly thought of something. "And you shouldn't pick a fight with your mother over this. She was just looking out for you."
"Don't worry. I won't," Dylan responded without hesitation.
But to Noelle, it almost sounded like he was brushing her off. This caused her to frown slightly.
As if he could read her mind, Dylan quickly added, "I was upset earlier because I thought you were going to give up on me. But now I see it was just a misunderstanding. So, don't worry. I won't fight with my mother."
Only then did Noelle feel reassured. "Okay. Where are you now?"
"I'm still at the office, but I'm about to head home."
"Alright. Get some rest when you're back."
"You, too. You should get some sleep now," Dylan said softly.
"Okay. Bye," Noelle replied before hanging up the phone.
Meanwhile, Dylan was getting ready to leave his office building. But as he walked into the parking garage, a strange sensation crept over him—like someone was watching him from behind.
The feeling made his brows knit together, and he abruptly turned around. But the vast, empty garage was completely devoid of anyone, except for him.
Dylan stood still for a moment, scanning the area to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Then, he rubbed the bridge of his nose. He figured he was just exhausted, and that was why he was starting to imagine things.

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👨👩👧...

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...
