Noelle had just finished putting Rosie to sleep when Dylan sent over the e-tickets for the amusement park.
"I just checked. There'll be plenty of staff on-site. So when you're there with Rosie, you can just go straight to them if you need anything," his message read.
He seemed to know she'd be busy settling Rosie, so he didn't call. Instead, he sent a thoughtful, detailed text, listing out several precautions for their upcoming trip.
After reading through his message, Noelle hesitated for a moment before dialing his number.
Dylan picked up almost immediately. "Hey, is Rosie asleep?"
His voice was the same as always, no different from what Noelle had heard over the past few days.
But this time, she paused. It took her a moment before she finally answered, "Yeah, she's asleep."
"Did you see the list I sent? The staff should have most things covered, but you should still bring a couple of towels. And don't forget Rosie's favorite floatie—"
"Dylan," Noelle suddenly cut him off.
Just that one simple word was enough to silence him completely.
He seemed to sense something was off, so after a brief pause, he finally asked, "What is it?"
"You're going on a business trip soon, right? Who are you going with?" Noelle asked.
As his words fell, Dylan almost seemed relieved. Then, he chuckled and said, "I'm going alone."
"Is that so? And the investor—do you know them?"
"Sort of. Is everything okay? Why the sudden interest in all of this?" he questioned, his voice still carrying a hint of amusement.

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...
