The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 576

Dylan did not show up that night, nor did he fulfill his promise to send Noelle and Rosie to the airport the next day.

Seline even cursed him a few times for being irresponsible.

"It's fine. He probably has something really important to deal with," Noelle said.

"No matter how important it is, he shouldn't have just left you hanging like this! He's so unreliable. I'm definitely going to give him a piece of my mind later!" Seline's frown deepened as she spoke.

After a brief pause, Noelle asked, "Do you think something happened at his company?"

"Like what?" Seline shot back.

"I don't know. That's why I'm asking you."

Seline shook her head. "I haven't heard anything. Do you know something I don't?"

"No. I'm just worried."

"About what?"

Seline had been a little nervous at first, but the moment she heard what Noelle said, she relaxed instantly. "His company is already on the right track. Sure, it's not on par with some of the bigger corporations, but it's stable now.

"So, I'm sure it's fine. Besides, I haven't heard anything. You're probably just overthinking things."

Seline's reassurances finally put Noelle's mind at ease.

Seline's temper flared up quickly but faded just as fast. After chatting with Noelle for a bit, she soon forgot about holding Dylan accountable and turned to talk to Rosie about the plot of a cartoon. The atmosphere in the car became warm and lively after that.

Noelle finally felt a bit more at ease. After replying with a simple "okay", she turned off her phone.

Dylan had said he would visit them in a couple of days, but it wasn't until a week later that he finally came.

Noelle hadn't been too concerned about it at first. After all, it wasn't like Dylan visited them frequently in the past, and she had never particularly looked forward to his arrival before—but this time was different.

Noelle remained unsettled the longer Dylan hadn't appeared. Even though everything in Coppersville seemed calm and uneventful during that time, she couldn't shake her unease.

That was why, when Noelle saw Dylan suddenly appear, the tension she'd been holding onto instantly melted away—along with everything she'd been feeling. For the first time ever, she took the initiative to hug him.

Dylan was standing at her door, a suitcase at his feet. Noelle had just taken Rosie out to play and was still holding her water bottle in her hand.

But at that moment, she didn't care about anything else. She simply reached out and hugged him.
