Chapter 457
Rosie glanced at Noelle, then eventually shook her head. “I want to sleep with Mommy.”
So, Noelle didn’t bring it up again.

Seeing this, Seline quickly changed the topic. “Speaking of which, why didn’t you go meet that guy I introduced you to last time?”
“Why don’t you meet him yourself?” Noelle countered.
“I–I’m not interested in marriage right now.”
“And you think I am?”
Noelle’s response left Seline momentarily speechless.
In the end, she sighed and said, “I’m just worried about how hard it is for you to take care of Rosie all by yourself. Like last time–she had a fever in the middle of the night, and you held her for the entire night.
“This is ten whole hours we’re talking about, where there’s no one to even pour you a glass of water.”
“That was just a rare situation. Besides, do you really think getting married means having someone to help? More likely, you’d just end up taking care of two people instead of one.”
Seline had no argument against that. After all, the very reason she hadn’t married yet was because she didn’t trust men enough to rely on one.
But for some reason, she was fine with this for herself. Yet, seeing Noelle alone like this still made her feel indignant.
She had thought she was hiding it well. But across from her Noelle saw through her in an instant.
“Did something happen over in Coppersville?” she asked, hazarding a guess.
“Huh? What? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Did you hear some news or something?”
The longer Seline knew Noelle, the worse she became at hiding things from her. And now, her string of rushed denials only made her suspicion more obvious.
So, Noelle didn’t need to press any further. She simply raised an eyebrow and stared at her.
Seline struggled for a moment before finally setting down her fork and said in a resigned tone, “Fine. I’ll tell you. But don’t get upset when you hear it.”
“Mm, go on.”
“I heard Hendrix might have gotten himself a new girlfriend recently.”
The moment Seline said that, Rosie suddenly piped up from beside them, “Seline, who’s Hendrix?”
Rosie had been completely silent throughout their conversation, quietly eating her food as if she wasn’t even paying attention. But the second she heard that name, she immediately asked.
That kind of instinctive sixth sense made both Seline and Noelle freeze for a second.
Seline quickly looked at Noelle, silently asking with her eyes whether she had ever told Rosie about Hendrix. But Noelle only shook her head.

“Seline, who’s Hendrix?” Rosie asked again.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

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...
