Noelle stood there without saying a word.
"You don't need to feel burdened," Beatrice said. "He just wants to do something for the person he loves."
Noelle lowered her eyes and remained silent.
After a brief pause, Beatrice added, "Now then, you should have your breakfast first. After that, I'll take you somewhere."
…
Noelle hadn't expected Beatrice to bring her to the Swift residence. She still remembered the last time she was here. Back then, she had made a promise to Marla. She had said she would repay Seline for the kindness she had shown Rosie. And yet, even until now, she did no such thing.
Just this morning, because of the rosary Hendrix had given her and because of the cautious way Rosie had looked at her, Noelle had even tried to convince herself to forget her promise.
But now, how could she forget? Marla would surely think of her as a despicable liar. After all, she had already promised her.
"Let's go."
Beatrice's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Noelle blinked, staring at her in a daze.
Without hesitation, Beatrice firmly took Noelle's by the hand and led her inside. It was clear she had already informed the Swift family of their visit beforehand.
Given Beatrice's status, Marla and Marshall didn't dare treat her the same way they had treated Hendrix. But when they saw Noelle, their attitude changed completely.

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...
