Noelle instructed the caregiver to look after Rosie before following Dylan out.
"The last time we met was over a year ago, right?" Dylan asked. "You had just given birth, and I was swamped with work, so we didn't get a chance to talk properly."
The hospital yard was filled with patients enjoying the sunshine.
They found a quiet spot in a gazebo. Dylan sat down on the bench first, his demeanor relaxed and natural. That calm composure was something only a seasoned businessman could possess.
Noelle had seen it countless times in Hendrix. But perhaps because she was used to Dylan's gentle and approachable nature, seeing him adopt this tone made her feel uncomfortable.
After a brief pause, she let out a soft hum.
"You know I've started my own company, Dyno Corporation, right?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah, I saw the news. The company looks successful. Congratulations."
Dylan chuckled. "Thank you. By the way, there's something you probably don't know. My grandfather… He's passed away."
Noelle was stunned. She truly hadn't heard about this.
After all, Donald had been a painter she once liked and respected. During their few meetings, he had always been kind to her. So, naturally, she would be shocked to suddenly receive this news.
Dylan noticed her reaction and gave a faint smile before continuing, "Actually, his condition had been under control for a while. But you know how proud he was. If he had remained in that state of confusion, maybe nothing would've happened. But one day, he suddenly had a moment of clarity.
"And then, he saw the adult diaper he was wearing and the mess he had made of his bed. He couldn't accept it. So, when the caregiver wasn't looking, he jumped from the balcony."

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...
