Noelle didn't answer. Instead, she turned her head to look out the car window.
Silence settled over the inside of the car.
After a moment, Rosie broke the quiet. "Mommy, I still want to hang out with Seline."
"I know. I've already made plans to have dinner with her tonight."
"Is Mr. Pritchett going, too?" Rosie asked.
As soon as she spoke, Noelle glanced at Hendrix. She wasn't worried about anything else—just that Hendrix might suddenly lose his temper. But to her surprise, he didn't say anything, and the car continued to move smoothly forward.
Only then did Noelle answer Rosie softly, "Yeah."
Rosie nodded happily. "Yay! I like playing with Mr. Pritchett!"
"Why?"
"Because he's so good-looking, and I believe he can protect you, Mommy."
As soon as Rosie said that, Hendrix couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Then, he shot Noelle a sarcastic look.
Noelle simply ignored him and smiled at Rosie.
…
Noelle had indeed made dinner plans with Dylan that evening. After all, it had been her fault for cancelling at the last minute that day. And since they were leaving Coppersville soon, if they didn't meet tonight, there wouldn't be another chance.
That said, Noelle wasn't ready to have dinner with him and Rosie together just yet. It would undoubtedly be awkward if it were just the three of them.
In fact, she had actually invited Seline to go with them to the amusement park last time. And when Seline found out Noelle had canceled their plans to go to the amusement park with Hendrix instead, she had been furious.

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...
