Chapter 74
“Yes,” Noelle answered curtly.
“So, what right do you have to criticize me, Noelle? Didn’t you also resort to underhanded tactics to be with Hendrix?”
Noelle’s eyes turned solemn at Maxwell’s accusations.
When she wanted to say something, Maxwell continued, “you’re already over him, why did you choose to get into this car? Why didn’t you go to the hospital instead? Wasn’t this… your plan?
“Noelle, what happened last night… I was wrong. You said that you can’t handle my affection, but fundamentally, we’re no different from each other.
“You chose to get into his car last night because you were sure that he wouldn’t ignore you. Am I right?”
It was midday, and the strong sunshine shone upon them. Their skins were burning, but all Noelle felt was a chill all over her body. Even her balled fist was slowly loosening
Staring at her pasty face, Maxwell reckoned that he had hit the nail on the head, and his smirk deepened. However, the look in his eyes turned sinister at the same time the edges of his lips curled upward.
“Does Hendrix know?” he asked.
Noelle jerked her head up, and Maxwell whipped out his cell phone, which was in the midst of a c
call.
“That you made use of him and set him up like this,” Maxwell finished and ended the call, looking Noelle in the
eyes.
Biting her lip, Noelle stared back at him, and after holding his gaze for a while, she finally said, “Are you done saying what you want to say?”
When he didn’t reply, she took it as an affirmation and turned around to leave after giving him a nod.
Maxwell’s voice echoed from behind her, “Noelle, you, too, no longer have the chance… to be with the one your
love.”
His statement made Noelle freeze in her steps for a second, but she didn’t turn around. As though she heard nothing, she continued walking forward.
Soon, she returned home. Before she could open her door, her opposite neighbor suddenly yelled, “Hey!”
At first, Noelle didn’t think that she was calling her. After a, she had been living here for a while and had never introduced herself to her neighbor. Hence, she didn’t look back and opened her door, ready to get in.
The woman behind her was mad. “Hey, I’m speaking to you! Are you pretending to be deaf?” She scoffed, slamming her palm on Noelle’s door to stop her from shutting the door.
Alas, Noelle realized that she was speaking to her. “What’s the matter?” she asked coldly.

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...
