"You must be wondering why I'm telling you all this, right?" Jean chuckled softly. "To be honest, I still hate you. Or maybe it's more accurate to say I'm jealous of you. Because you have so many things I wanted but could never have.
"Just look at your face. With that alone, you can easily get whatever you want. Thinking about it makes me seethe with envy and drives me mad."
"Ms. Fisher, you once had plenty of things yourself," Noelle said.
Jean paused, caught off guard by the response. Then, she nodded with a faint smile. "Yes, you're right. But what does that matter now? I've already lost everything. Well, not everything. I still have some connections my father left me, along with a few assets abroad."
She slowly shifted her gaze back to Noelle. "So, do you understand now what my advice to you really means?"
Noelle frowned.
"Dylan must have told you he's going on a business trip abroad soon, right?" Jean continued, her lips curling into a sly smile. "To be frank, he's going with me. I know his company is in trouble, so I'm planning to give him my father's overseas assets in exchange for… Well, I'm sure you can guess what I want."
As Jean spoke, Noelle's expression shifted, but she quickly regained her composure. "That's impossible."
"What's impossible?"
"Dylan already made the mistake once. He wouldn't—"
Before Noelle could finish, Jean pulled out her phone and showed her a photo of her and Dylan. The white bedsheets made it clear they were in a hotel. Dylan was already asleep in the photo, while Jean—her shoulder bare—smiled at the camera.

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...
