"Ms. Swanson!" a man called out excitedly from behind just as Noelle and Rosie reached the beach.
He was wearing only swim trunks and a pair of sunglasses. His tall frame and striking features drew plenty of attention from those around him, but he seemed completely used to it.
He walked up to Noelle with a grin. "What a coincidence to run into you here! By the way, where's your boyfriend?"
Noelle pursed her lips before replying, "Hello, Mr. Lawson. It's been a while."
"It has," Erwin said, removing his sunglasses and giving her a once-over.
He seemed unimpressed by her modest swimsuit. He clicked his tongue before asking, "Why aren't you wearing the outfit from earlier? Or is that just something special for your boyfriend?"
His words bordered on disrespectful, but Noelle knew he wasn't trying to flirt with her. Simply put, he didn't see her that way. From the woman who was just by his side, it was clear that he liked tall women with perfect figures.
Hendrix had mentioned before that Erwin changed girlfriends so quickly that it was hard to keep up. The faint interests he'd shown in Noelle before had only been because she was Hendrix's wife. He'd wanted to know what made her special enough to make Hendrix willingly be tied down.
Now that she no longer was Hendrix's wife, there was no way Erwin would still have any interest in her. At the moment, his words were more like an insult.
Having no intention of answering Erwin, Noelle quickly changed the subject. "What are you doing here?"
Displeased, Erwin frowned slightly before replying, "I'm obviously here on vacation."
"Oh, well, I won't keep you, then," Noelle said.
With that, she took Rosie's hand and started to walk away.
Erwin didn't stop her. Instead, he simply narrowed his eyes at their retreating figures.
Holding on to Noelle's hand, Rosie glanced back at Erwin. "Mommy, who's that?"

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

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...
