Chapter 67
“Ma’am, please calm down. Let’s find a place to talk this through…” The hotel staff desperately tried to restrain Ruth when the door in front of them suddenly opened.
Noelle was indeed inside. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, yet her was icy.
gaze
“Well, well! So you are here! Where’s your lover? Is Maxwel hiding inside? Let me…”
Noelle ignored Ruth entirely and strode over to Sandra in just a quick few steps.
Her movement was so swift that Sandra barely had the time to react before Noelle snatched the phone from her hand.
“Noelle…”
Sandra was about to say something when Noelle deleted the video she had recorded and smashed the phone without hesitation.
“What are you doing?” Ruth had intended to barge in to find Maxwell before she was startled by the commotion. She immediately rushed forward to protect Sandra.
However, Noelle didn’t give them a chance to recover. She raised her hand and delivered a crisp slap across
Sandra’s face.
“Sandy!” Ruth immediately shouted. “Noelle, you wretched lunatic! How dare you hit her? You’re the one…
–
“Are you an idiot?” Noelle turned to look at Ruth and said coldly, “Are you completely unaware that you’re being used as a pawn?”
“What are you talking about?” Ruth froze in place as she was unable to comprehend what she had just heard.
However, Noelle didn’t spare her another glance. She turned around and walked away.
“Stop right there! Noelle, I demand you get this straight!” Ruth tried to chase after her before someone behind her blocked her path. “Ma’am, please stay calm….”
Noelle had no intention of engaging with her further. Her mind was already slipping into a haze. She wouldn’t have had the strength to confront Sandra and Ruth if she hadn’t steeled herself and made a deep cut on her forearm earlier.
However, the clarity brought by the pain was fleeting.
Her body was burning with heat, as if something was gnawing at her bones. Her legs started to tremble, forcing her to clench her fists tightly as her body slowly bent under the strain.
“Ma’am, do you need help?” Someone in the lobby approached her with concern.
Noelle didn’t respond. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to take each step forward.
She didn’t hesitate to rush over when she spotted a familiar car parked at the entrance. She charged toward it like a drowning person grasping for a life raft.
She grabbed the man’s hand without hesitation when the car window was rolled down. “Hendrix, help me.”
Levi quickly opened the car door.
Noelle kept her grip on Hendrix even after getting into the car.

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...
