Chapter 89
Noelle tapped on the car window gently.
“Mrs. Freeman!”
Noelle corrected Levi multiple times, but the latter was still used to addressing her in this manner. By now, couldn’t be bothered to correct him anymore. She nodded. What are you doing here?”

“Mr. Freeman went out on a work trip,” Levi explained. “He went overseas and won’t be back until after a week. This is the invitation and plane ticket he wanted me to give you.”
Noelle was stunned. By the time she lowered her eyes, she found that the audition invitation Hendrix gave her was already in her hands.
Noelle left it at Percy Gardens previously, but she didn’t expect him to send it back to her once more. He even bought her a plane ticket to Leverton.
Just as Noelle was staring at the ticket and spacing out, Levi spoke up again, “Mrs. Freeman?” He was also giving her a strange look.
Noelle came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m not taking them.”
“Um…. Mr. Freeman prepared these just for you, Mrs. Freeman. Moreover, a lot of people from the high society circle will be there. He’d have to explain himself if you weren’t there, and that might be troublesome.”
Noelle was very adamant, though. Levi looked at her, and he was stumped.
“I’m sorry you have to come all this way. You may go back now if that’s all you came for. Goodbye.” Then, Noelle walked forward.
Levi wanted to say something, but he bit his tongue after he paused briefly.
Noelle had just returned to her room when Hendrix gave her a phone call. Two seconds later, however, the call ended abruptly as if it was just a butt dial or something. She didn’t return his call, either.
Brandon was quick to send her a text, though. He merely needed her to do something simple. He had a banquet to attend this weekend, and he wanted her to go with him. However, he seemed to know what Noelle’s concerns were, and he sent over a second text.
“Don’t worry. It’s a masquerade ball. No one’s going to know who you are.”
Initially, Noelle wanted to reply to Brandon’s text, but her fingers were suspended midair now. After a brief pause, she replied to him, “I can’t think of a reason for me to help you.”
This time, Brandon sent Noelle an audio text. His voice was warm and deep, and there was a hint of amusement in it, too. “Why not? Just think of me owing you a favor. You might not need it now, but you might have use of it later.
What Brandon said managed to convince Noelle. With that said, she still couldn’t understand why he would want to do this.

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...
