Hendrix remembered the scene from the last night when he stood on the balcony, watching Rosie smile and wave goodbye to Dylan. To be honest, the three of them looked incredibly good together, almost as if they were a real family.
At this moment, if he wasn't mistaken, this was the first time Rosie had spoken to him on her own initiative. Yet, what she said was she didn't want to see him.
Hendrix wanted to retort that this was his house, so why couldn't he be here? But when he met Rosie's eyes, he swallowed back his words.
Then, he simply replied, "Okay."
His response was straightforward, but Rosie didn't seem to think much of it. She merely nodded in satisfaction and went downstairs to find Noelle.
Hendrix watched her retreating figure, his hands clenching involuntarily.
It wasn't until the ache in his chest became unbearable that he finally snapped out of it and slowly made his way downstairs.
Beatrice was already in the living room. When she saw him, she immediately called out, "Go and have some breakfast."
"No, it's okay," Hendrix replied as he headed toward the door. "I have some matters to attend to, so I'll get going now."
"At least have some break—"
Before Beatrice could finish, Hendrix had already walked out of the door.
Her words caught in her throat, and she turned to look toward the dining room where both Noelle and Rosie were.
Hendrix had missed the opportunity from last night, and now, he was letting the chance of eating together with Noelle and Rosie slip away again!
Beatrice felt a mix of frustration and helplessness, but there was nothing she could do. So, she entered the dining room by herself instead.
"Hendrix has left already," Beatrice said abruptly.
Noelle was peeling an egg for Rosie. It took her a few seconds to realize Beatrice was speaking to her. She looked up, her eyes questioning whether the words were directed at her.

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...
