Noelle felt as though she were some kind of object, being fought over and placed wherever others pleased. After a brief pause, she walked straight up to Hendrix and reached for her suitcase.
Hendrix noticed what she was doing and took this as her giving him an answer. He tensed up instantly and gripped the suitcase tighter.
Noelle naturally felt the increased pressure from his hold, and she couldn't help but frown. Then, she looked at him and said, "Let go."
Hendrix pressed his lips into a thin line, and the veins in his forearm started to bulge from how much force he was exerting.
He stared at Noelle in disbelief. So, between him and Dylan, she had actually chosen the latter?
Beatrice also witnessed what was happening. She immediately furrowed her brows as she stepped forward. "Noelle, why don't you just let—"
"Hendrix Freeman, I said let go!" Noelle didn't even wait for Beatrice to finish her sentence. She kept her eyes locked on Hendrix and repeated herself firmly.
Hendrix met her gaze and suddenly remembered what Angela had told him the night before. She had said that Noelle was heartbroken beyond repair.
At first, Hendrix had thought Angela was trying to scare him. But now, seeing Noelle's expression, he suddenly realized Angela was right.
Thus, he slowly loosened his grip on the suitcase, and Noelle quickly pulled it toward her.
Seeing this, Dylan immediately stepped forward, about to reach for the suitcase, but Noelle turned to Rosie instead. "Let's go. Mommy's going to take you on the subway, okay?"
Rosie immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Okay!"
Noelle smiled, then turned to Beatrice and bid her goodbye before taking Rosie's hand and walking away.
Dylan quickly caught up to her. "You're taking the subway?"
"Yeah, it connects to the airport. It's actually quite convenient."

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...
