"Thank you," Noelle said as she took the invoice from the mover. While confirming and signing the document, she added, "I was going to ask my husband to grab you guys some energy drinks when he got back, but he couldn't make it back in time. Here. Take this cash and get some yourselves."
"You're too kind, but we can't possibly take this." The movers initially refused but eventually relented.
After they left, Noelle immediately placed a pair of men's shoes by the door and hung a few men's clothes on the balcony.
"Mommy, are we going to live here from now on?" Rosie asked.
"That's right, sweetheart."
"What about our old apartment?"
"I gave it back to the landlord. This is our new home now."
"Then, will I still get to see Marco and the rest of my friends?"
"Of course. This place is close to our old place, and you'll also get to see them when you go to kindergarten."
Hearing this, Rosie finally nodded in relief.
Noelle had spent the whole day unpacking and didn't have time to cook dinner. But Rosie didn't mind at all. After all, her favorite food was fast food.
However, adjusting to the new environment made it harder for Rosie to fall asleep that night. She tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off.
Thinking Rosie had fallen asleep, Noelle was about to get up and take care of her own tasks when Rosie suddenly opened her eyes again.
"Does that mean I will never see him again?"
"Who are you talking about?" Noelle blurted out.
But Rosie didn't answer. She simply closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Noelle stood by the bed, and after a moment, it dawned on her that Rosie was talking about Hendrix.

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...
