Hendrix fell silent. He lowered his eyes and stood in place for a moment before finally turning around.
"Sorry for disturbing you," he said.
Levi had been waiting outside the gate the entire time. He had initially thought Hendrix would have to wait all day again and was just about to go buy himself a cup of coffee. But before he could start the car, he saw Hendrix coming out.
He quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Hendrix.
Hendrix silently got in. Levi didn't need to ask to know that Hendrix had failed to convince the Swift family again.
Honestly, it was to be expected. After all, Marla and Marshall had just lost their daughter. In such a situation, how could they possibly care about anyone else's troubles?
Hendrix understood that, too, but he had no other options left. The doctor had said that Seline's death was the root of Noelle's mental anguish.
Hendrix was willing to do anything for Noelle, but he couldn't bring the dead back to life. All he could do was beg, over and over again. He hoped that Marla and Marshall would say the words "we forgive you" to Noelle.
Even though he didn't know if it would make Noelle better, as long as it was a possibility, he had to try—no matter the cost.
Soon, they arrived at Roselle Court.
Hendrix had been sitting in the car with his eyes closed. But as soon as the car entered the courtyard, his eyes snapped open, as if he sensed something.
Instead of waiting for Levi to open the car door for him, he did it himself.
"Mr. Freeman." A household staff quickly approached, holding a tray of untouched food. Her voice was hesitant. "Mrs. Freeman still refuses to eat anything."
Hendrix said nothing. He simply took the tray with practiced ease.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

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...
