The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 3
At 7:00 pm, Hendrix returned to the villa right on time. Sandra happened to be in the living room when he returned.
The moment she saw him, she walked over excitedly to greet him. "You're back, Hendrix!"
Hendrix gave her a slight smile as he looked up at her.
Noelle pursed her lips and stepped forward to take his coat. She said to him, "Dinner is ready."
…
"I'm sorry, Hendrix. Am I encroaching on you and Noelle by staying here?" Sandra asked quietly at the dinner table. She snuck a glance at Noelle before continuing, "I told Mom I could stay home on my own, but she insists that she doesn't feel at ease if I'm alone at home…"
"It's fine. Stay as long as you like. If you need anything, just ask," Hendrix replied.
"Really? I don't want to be too much trouble."
"It's no trouble at all."
"Ms. Sandra, it's better that you're staying here," Mabel chimed in as she served the dishes. "It's been a long time since this house has felt so lively."
Upon hearing that, Noelle's hand that was holding the spoon froze midair.
Nevertheless, Mabel wasn't wrong. Noelle was rather quiet and reserved, unlike Sandra, who could easily get everyone to like her. It wasn't just Mabel—Noelle had never heard Hendrix speak so much before.
Noelle knew she was just taking up space by being there. So, she hastily finished the food on her plate and stood up. "I'm done eating. So, I'll head upstairs first. You all take your time and enjoy your food."
"Are you sure you've had enough, Noelle? You ate so little. Shall I accompany you upstairs?" Sandra offered with concern.

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...
