Hendrix still held the towel in his hand, its soft texture carrying a faint, pleasant scent. Thinking back to Noelle’s angry expression earlier, he couldn’t help but smile as he walked out with the towel in hand.
With Hendrix causing such a disturbance, Noelle lost the mood to continue showering. She quickly rinsed off a few more times before putting on a bathrobe and stepping cut. To her surprise, Hendrix was still there, and his two suitcases were plainly placed at his feet.
Noelle’s expression immediately darkened, but before she could say anything, Hendrix spoke up, already stuff in your guest room, so I can’t fit my things in
“There’s
Noelle frowned. But then, she quickly remembered that Dylan had indeed stayed here before, and it seemed he had left some of his personal items behind when he left.
Left without a choice, Noelle could only walk over to the guest room and take Dylan’s clothes down. She was prepared to return to her bedroom with those clothes in hand when Hendrix suddenly stopped her again.
“Where are you planning to put those clothes?”
“In my room, obviously.”
“No,” said Hendrix without hesitation, causing Noelle to narrow her eyes.
“I don’t have much stuff, so how about we just put mine and yours together?”
Noelle knew exactly that was his plan all along. Without hesitation, she interrupted him, “What are you thinking? Don’t forget. Dylan is my boyfriend now.”
After Noelle said that, Hendrix fell noticeably silent.
At first, Noelle thought he was about to snap. After all, in her memory, Hendrix was definitely not someone who would just swallow his anger. Moreover, she had seen him lose control before.
He was ruthless, crazy, and even cruel. But to Noelle’s surprise, after watching her quietly for a moment, Hendrix simply smiled faintly and said, “You’re right.”
With that, he took his two suitcases and started walking toward the guest room.
Noelle
le was caught off guard by his indifferent attitude. However, soon after, Hendrix stopped and turned back to ask her, “What should I put for the address here? I need to buy some medicine.”
His voice was calm, returning to his usual composed demeanor. But in contrast to Noelle’s somewhat forceful tone earlier, it made him seem almost pitiful.
Noelle pressed her lips together and watched him for a moment before finally turning to the living room and handing him the stomach medicine from the medicine cabinet.
“Thank you.” Hendrix reached out to take it.
Noelle didn’t look at him again. She simply turned and returned to her room.
Dylan’s things, which she had carelessly left aside earlier, were not scattered. The neatly folded clothes had fallen into a messy heap.
Noelle looked at the mess, feeling inexplicably irritated. She was about to grab a cigarette when she remembered that Hendrix had thrown away her cigarette pack and lighter. Though it wouldn’t be hard to buy new ones, she didn’t bother.

Instead, she found a box and began packing up Dylan’s things. Once she was done, she heard a knock on her door again.
Visibly annoyed, Noelle turned around. “What is it this time?”
“Do you want something to eat?” Hendrix asked.
Noelle opened the door and frowned at him.
“I accidentally made too much pasta. Want to join me?”
Noelle had originally planned to refuse, but this was the first time Hendrix was cooking, and she felt a sudden curiosity. So, a little while later, she found herself looking at a huge pot of pasta.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
