Hendrix had knocked out the wall in the middle. The master bedroom and study had been combined into one, and the secondary bedroom and living room now felt much more spacious.
By now, Rosie was completely exhausted. The moment Noelle picked her up, she immediately leaned on Noelle's shoulder and fell asleep. As for where they were now, she didn't even notice.
"The bedding is clean. Do you need anything else?" Hendrix asked her from the doorway.
"No, thank you."
"Don't you need to shower or change into pajamas?"
His question immediately made Noelle frown.
Hendrix quickly added, "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. So, um… Have a good rest, then. I'm in the room across the hall. Call me if you need anything."
After saying that, he turned and left. But Noelle quickly followed him.
Hendrix initially thought she had something to say to him, but the next moment, he realized she had closed the door behind him. He even heard the sound of the lock clicking into place.
Hendrix paused mid-step, then couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Guess some people never really change," he thought.
After all these years, Noelle was still as naive as ever.
This was his home—wasn't it only natural that he had a key to the room she was staying in?

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...
