The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 544

Dylan had brought another gift for Rosie—a fluffy, white bunny plushie.

This time, Rosie didn't refuse it. After getting Noelle's permission, she thanked Dylan and hugged the bunny tightly to her chest.

Dylan smiled at her before turning his attention to Noelle. "How have you two been lately?"

"We've been doing well."

"That's good. I saw the news today. It's great that everything's been cleared up. Does that mean your work can move forward smoothly now?"

Noelle nodded. "More or less."

"Awesome!" Dylan said with a nod.

But soon, the conversation between them lulled into silence. Before coming here, Dylan had planned to say a lot to Noelle. Yet now, he suddenly didn't know how to begin.

In the end, it was Noelle who broke the silence first. Is work not keeping you busy?"

"Oh, it's been manageable lately," Dylan replied. "The last quarter's projects wrapped up nicely, so I've got a bit of a break these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to come see you. Actually, I was about to ask you—are there any fun places to visit around Stormridge?"

He couldn't make himself any more obvious if he tried.

Even though Noelle naturally picked up on his hint, she still answered honestly, "Not really."

It was the truth.

Stormridge was a small, third-tier city, mostly populated by long-time residents and elderly folks. Children sent to live with relatives were a common sight, but young adults were few and far between.
