The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 246 Chapter 246

As a leading city, Coppersville's airport buzzed with activity even in the early hours of dawn.

The moment Noelle boarded the plane, she requested a blanket from the flight attendant and then shut her eyes to catch up on sleep.

It wasn't until someone sat down beside her that she stirred. She felt a hand gently adjusting the blanket draped over her. Startled awake, Noelle's eyes flew open and locked onto the person next to her.
