Rosie's straightforward answer made Noelle smile. "Alright. Let's go home, then."
With that, they walked away hand in hand, as if the noise and excitement behind them seemed to have nothing to do with them.
…
The next day, Hendrix came again. This time, he wasn't alone, as several bodyguards followed him, each carrying heavy bags.
Without Hendrix even saying a word, all the children rushed over. Even kids from neighboring apartments had heard about it and came running.
Hendrix didn't discriminate—any child who approached was given a gift. Today, he didn't need to interact with them personally, so he had time to glance over at Noelle to gauge her reaction.
However, he quickly realized that Noelle and Rosie were no longer there. He hadn't even noticed when they had left.
The same thing happened on the third and fourth days, but by the fifth day, Hendrix didn't show up.
But after several days of free gifts, both the children and their parents had gotten a taste for it. Now, they would gather early in the apartment complex, the kids chattering noisily as they waited.
During this time, Noelle and Rosie hadn't been playing at the apartment complex. At the moment, Noelle was getting ready to head to the nearby children's park with Rosie in tow.
Somehow, the neighbors had figured out her connection to Hendrix. So, when they saw Noelle, they immediately greeted her and even asked when Hendrix would arrive.
Noelle forced a smile. "I don't know."
"How can you not know when he's your husband?"
"We're divorced."

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...
