In the end, Noelle accepted the gift Dylan had given to Rosie. However, Rosie didn't like the diamond hairpin. After glancing at it a couple of times, she placed it in a drawer in her room.
"Aren't you going to take it with you?" Noelle asked her.
Rosie shook her head.
"If you don't like it, should I return it to Mr. Pritchett later?"
"Okay," Rosie agreed without hesitation.
Noelle found this strange. "I thought you liked Mr. Pritchett. So, how could you not like the gift he gave you?"
At her words, Rosie's expression shifted slightly. Then, she said, "I do like Mr. Pritchett. I just don't like the gift he got me."
Noelle narrowed her eyes.
Rosie quickly turned her head to avoid meeting her gaze. "I still prefer plushies. Mom, can you tell Mr. Pritchett to get me a bunny plushie next time?"
As Rosie's mother, Noelle could naturally sense that something was off. But she didn't press further, simply agreeing to Rosie's request.
It had already been decided that Dylan would take them to the airport the next day. But Noelle hadn't expected Hendrix to show up as well.
And unlike Dylan, Hendrix's identity was different. He was, after all, Rosie's father. Without a word, he went upstairs and proceeded to carry their suitcases down.
Noelle was momentarily stunned, then quickly moved to stop him.
Just then, Dylan arrived in his car. A deep frown immediately appeared on his forehead when he saw Hendrix was also there. He got out of the car and walked over to the two of them, reaching for the suitcases.

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...
