Noelle still remembered the first time she met Seline in Dynalis.
At the time, she was traveling alone, and Seline was studying abroad there. The two had met online. Seline acted as her local guide, taking her to many places.
During that period, Noelle had been trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and sadness. And Seline threw herself into being the best guide she could be, never prying or offering empty comfort.
At first, Noelle thought Seline was just a hardworking international student trying to make ends meet. Later, she found out that Seline was actually the scioness of the Swift family.
Despite being raised in privilege, Seline never had the spoiled attitude of a rich girl. On the contrary, she was loyal, passionate, and kind.
When Rosie was born, Seline once asked Noelle what kind of person she hoped Rosie would become. Noelle looked at her and said she hoped Rosie could grow up to be like her.
Seline had been humbled and surprised by the response at the time, but it was truly what Noelle wished for Rosie—to grow up surrounded by love, to always see the world with pure eyes, and to be bold and fearless but never unlikable.
Seline was the type to express her affection without reservation and wouldn't hide her dislike for someone, either. In fact, she was exactly the kind of person Noelle had wanted to be.
But she knew that chance was long gone for her, and that was why she had hoped Rosie could do what she couldn't instead.
But why did someone as wonderful as Seline have to die?
Marla had demanded to know if Noelle had seen what Seline looked like when she was rescued. At the time, Noelle hadn't known. It wasn't until later that she learned the details from a news report.
Seline had given all her warm clothing to Rosie and held Rosie tightly in her arms. She had fed Rosie all the chocolate she had with her. By the time the rescuers found them, Seline was almost completely frozen.

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👨👩👧...
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.

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...
