At the Swift residence, Marla had only just managed to muster the mood to eat when she heard the household staff say, "Mr. and Mrs. Swift, Mr. Freeman has come again."
She immediately put down her cutlery and asked through gritted teeth, "What does he want this time?"
"Mr. Freeman said he has something to discuss with both of you."
"What could he possibly have to discuss with us? Go tell him I won't see him!"
With that, Marla stood up and headed upstairs.
Marshall remained in his seat, and after pondering for a moment, he finally said, "Tell him to leave, as we're not available to see guests today."
"I've already told him that, but he still insists—"
"Then, forget it. If he wants to wait, let him wait."
With that, Marshall also left the dining room. He had thought that by doing this, Hendrix would leave. But to his surprise, he didn't. It was only after he had spent a long time reading in his study that he learned that Hendrix was still waiting downstairs.
Coppersville was still experiencing low temperatures today. Snowflakes drifted from the sky, landing on Hendrix's shoulders, making him look all the more desolate.
After watching for a while, Marshall finally had the household staff invite Hendrix in.
"What exactly do you want, Mr. Freeman?" Marshall asked impatiently. "It's been days now, yet you keep coming here—anyone would think my family was in some kind of trouble."

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...
