The faint smirk on Hendrix's lips slowly faded away. He turned his gaze back to Noelle.
She was glaring at him, her impatience and disgust unmistakable in her eyes.
Yes, it was definitely Noelle.
She had cut her hair short. She and Dylan had checked into a hotel room together.
These two realities hit Hendrix hard in the chest. He clenched his hands, his teeth biting down on his lips so hard that he drew blood.
Yet, he still refused to give up. He asked her, "And you? What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, Hendrix began walking toward her.
The answer was already painfully clear. What else could a man and a woman do in the middle of the night? Surely, they were just chatting in the room.
To make it worse, Noelle had already taken a shower! So, while Hendrix was outside smoking, what had she and Dylan been doing inside?
Hendrix had thought he had already come to terms with it—that he had accepted Noelle was now Dylan's girlfriend. Or that they held hands, ate together, and talked like any other couple. And also, they would…
Hendrix knew all that. Still, nothing had ever hit him harder than this moment. He couldn't help but glance toward the bedroom. He wanted to know—what was the state of the room now? What had they been doing in there earlier?
How had Dylan treated her? Had she been willing? Had she been happy? Had she blossomed into her most radiant self, just like she had when she was with him, albeit in front of another man?

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...
