Rosie's voice was sharp and piercing.
It wasn't just Hendrix—even Noelle was seeing this attitude in her for the first time.
She froze for a moment, then quickly stepped forward. "Rosie, you—"
"I don't want to see him! Make him leave, Mommy! Make him go away!" Rosie buried herself in Noelle's arms as she spoke.
The IV tube in her hand was tugged, causing blood to flow back into the tube.
Afraid Rosie might hurt herself, Noelle quickly held her hand down and agreed to her request, "Okay, okay. I'll make him leave now. It's alright. Don't get upset."
As she spoke, she glanced up at Hendrix.
He stood there, lips pressed tightly together.
Noelle thought she might have to say something more to him, but to her surprise, he turned and left without a word.
Only when he was completely gone did Rosie slowly calm down, though she still clung tightly to Noelle's arm.
"There, there," Noelle said softly. "You don't have to see him if you don't want to. Don't be afraid. Mommy's here."
Rosie looked up at her, her eyes searching for Noelle's face before finally nodding.
"Can you tell Mommy why you don't want to see him?" Noelle asked gently.
Rosie didn't respond immediately, and Noelle didn't push her. She simply sat and waited for her quietly.

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...
