Noelle hadn't noticed that her phone had gone silent.
By the time they arrived at the apartment complex, most of the crowd that had gathered earlier had already dispersed. Moreover, it seemed like many of them were holding new toys.
Noelle was taken aback.
"Noelle, thank you," someone said to her. "And, um… don't pay attention to what's being said in the group chat. Seriously, they're acting way too entitled now."
"Yeah, they're just greedy and never satisfied," another chimed in quickly.
Noelle frowned, then suddenly realized something. "Who gave you these toys?"
"Mr. Freeman, of course. But he said he had something to do today and couldn't come, so he sent his assistant instead to make sure no one was disappointed. Did he not tell you?"
Noelle's voice tightened. "When was this?"
"Hmm… It took them about two hours to finish distributing the gifts since there were so many people, so probably around 11:00 am?"
Hendrix had called Noelle around noon, which meant he had already arranged for the gifts to be delivered by then.
Noelle clenched her hands involuntarily. After a moment, she forced a faint smile. "Alright. Got it. Thanks."
"No problem. We should be the ones thanking you! Our kids have been over the moon these past couple of days. By the way, what does your hus—uh, I mean former husband—do? Is he in the toy business?"

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...
