In the two years and four mouths, Noelle had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet Hendrix again.
But each time she thought about it, she would instinctively deny it.
Because she knew the world was vast, and they now lived in completely different social circles.
His life was filled with luxury, while she was just an ordinary person trying to get by.
Their paths were completely separate, with no reason to cross again.
But now, his sudden appearance shattered that belief.
"Mommy, do you know that man?" Rosie, who was still in Noelle's arms, asked when she noticed her staring at Hendrix.
At the sound of her voice, Noelle snapped out of her daze.
"No, I don't," she replied quickly.
Hendrix had already subconsciously walked toward her, but he abruptly froze in his place when he heard Noelle say that.
His heart, which had been tightening, seemed to slowly sink at that moment. Even the boiling blood in his veins cooled in that instant.
He simply stood there, lips pressed tightly into a line, watching her.
Noelle, however, didn't even spare him a single glance. She just stood up and walked forward with Rosie in her hands.
But Rosie seemed to have noticed Hendrix's gaze, as she turned to look at him repeatedly.
During their divorce, neither Hendrix nor Noelle mentioned the baby.
Even when he knew she had given birth to their daughter, and despite the fact that he was also losing sleep night after night, with his heart and stomach in distress, Hendrix never once visited her.
He had even gone to the hospital for a checkup, but after the doctor examined him, he said he was very healthy.
It wasn't until Hendrix finished speaking about his symptoms that the doctor said they might be caused by too much nerves.
Was it really that he was feeling?
Maybe it wasn't just nerves, but also fear.

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...
