The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 698
Dylan had considered all kinds of responses Noelle might give him, but this was the last thing he expected. And she wasn't just brushing him off—her gaze was serious, like she was genuinely asking.
Before Dylan could respond, Noelle continued, "If I remember correctly, we had already broken up by then. And while we were together, I never had any contact with Hendrix. In that regard, I never did you dirty or wrong."
After Noelle finished speaking, Dylan's smile slowly faded. "So are you implying that I did you dirty?" he asked hoarsely.
Noelle was caught off guard by his question. She was about to explain when Dylan said, "I know I hadn't been entirely honest with you during our relationship. But Noelle, do you think I really had a choice back then?"
Noelle frowned and stared at him for a long moment before asking, "So, you were lying to me back then, weren't you?"
"What?"
"Didn't you tell me before that you could handle having nothing, that it didn't matter if everything was taken from you, as long as we could be together? Was that just a lie, too?"
"No," Dylan replied without hesitation.
Noelle fell silent.
Dylan knew he was contradicting himself and was about to explain further when Noelle cut him off, "Then, I understand now."
"Yes, I am that kind of person. But Noelle, I really did think about building a life with you—even if it was an ordinary one. Back then, I actually started to look forward to that kind of life. I know I've let you down, so it's only natural that you hate me now."
"You're wrong," Noelle quickly corrected him. Then, she said, "I don't hate you."
A jolt went through Dylan. He looked at Noelle in disbelief.
"But it's also true I don't want to see you again," Noelle said. "I can't condone nor understand the things you've done. But ultimately those were your choices, so I can't judge them from my perspective. That said, I still maintain my stance of not wanting to see you."

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...
