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.

She had just been dreaming, though a fleeting one. In it, she had seen this same face. He was dressed in a sleek black suit, sliding a wedding ring onto her finger and leaning in to kiss her. But now, the person next to her had jolted her awake.

He reached out again, gently brushing aside the stray strands of hair on her forehead. The cool touch of his fingertips against her skin jolted Noelle fully awake, and she swiftly batted his hand away.

"What are you doing here?" asked Noelle. Her voice was husky from sleep, but the wariness in her eyes was unmistakable.
