The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 515

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Small world," Dylan said.

Noelle gave him a slight nod in acknowledgment.

Beside her, Seline asked excitedly, "You're Dylan Pritchett, the CEO of Dyno Corporation, right?"

"That's right. Nice to meet you, Ms. Swift."

Dylan extended his hand for a brief handshake.

Seline nodded repeatedly, then turned to Noelle, her eyes silently questioning her.

Noelle ignored her.

Unfazed, Seline looked down at Rosie and asked, "Rosie, how do you know Mr. Pritchett?"

"He came to the hospital to visit me once," Rosie answered seriously, then quickly asked, "Seline, didn't you say you were going to take me to go see the fountains?"

"Ah, right! Let's go!"

Seline immediately caught on to what Rosie was getting at. She quickly grabbed Rosie's hand before turning to say to Noelle, "I'm going to bring Rosie to the fountains. You two have a good chat."

With that, she whisked Rosie away.

Rosie played along effortlessly. In fact, the two of them took off so quickly that Noelle didn't even have a chance to say anything.

By the time she thought to stop them, they were already far ahead. Left with no choice, she simply looked at Dylan helplessly.

His meaning was clear.

Noelle paused momentarily, then glanced at him.

"I know how much you love Rosie and put her above everything else. So, I trust that you know just how important it is for her to have a father figure in her life."

"I know. But important doesn't mean it's essential. I'll give her everything I have, including all my love. So she would just have as much love in her life as any other kid."

"Is that so?" Dylan smiled faintly. "If that were true, she wouldn't be so eager to get close to me. Of course, I know it's not me specifically she wants to get close to. It could be anyone for that matter, as long as they could take the place of the father figure she's missing.

"So, Noelle, are you really not going to reconsider? We missed our chance before because I wasn't capable of holding on to what I wanted. But things are different now. I'm not who I used to be. I have the means to protect both of you now.

"And don't worry. I would treat Rosie as my own daughter. And if you're not ready for more, that's fine. We can raise Rosie as our only child. So, please think it over. Just don't say no right away, okay?"
