After Erwin left, Dylan finally asked Noelle, "That man earlier is Hendrix's friend, right?"
"Yeah," Noelle said softly while keeping her focus on building the sandcastle.
"So, the person he mentioned who will be arriving soon is also Hendrix?"
"Probably."
Dylan fell silent.
Only then did Noelle realize something. She looked up and explained, "I have no idea why he's here, either."
Her explanation sounded weak, but after a moment of studying her, Dylan smiled and nodded. "I believe you."
Noelle thought his smile seemed a little off but didn't press further. She slowly lowered her gaze instead.
"How about seafood for dinner? I found a good place nearby," Dylan said.
Noelle nodded. "Sure."
Erwin's lingering presence that afternoon had left Noelle on edge. During dinner, she kept glancing toward the entrance, half-expecting Hendrix and Erwin to walk in at any moment.
But to her surprise, they didn't.
Her constant looks toward the door didn't go unnoticed, prompting Dylan to ask, "Are you looking for something?"
"No," Noelle quickly denied.
He raised an eyebrow but didn't push further. Instead, he placed a peeled shrimp onto her plate.

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...
