"Didn't I tell you not to walk around barefoot?" Hendrix asked with a frown.
"The floor has heating," Noelle replied.
"That's still not okay."
Noelle stared at him for a moment, then finally muttered, "Fine."
"What were you looking at just now?"
"What have you been busy with lately?"
They spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.
Hendrix was momentarily stunned, then he chuckled softly.
Noelle, however, frowned at him. "What are you laughing at?"
Instead of answering her question, Hendrix countered with one of his own, "Do you really want to know?"
Noelle hesitated, then nodded.
"Good. Because there's something I want to tell you, too," Hendrix said. "But I haven't washed up yet, so can you wait a while longer?"
"Can't you tell me first?"
"No."
Hendrix had been so accommodating lately that Noelle had grown used to it. So, when he flat-out refused this time, she was momentarily caught off guard.
By then, Hendrix had already stood up and was heading toward the bathroom, giving Noelle no chance to argue further.

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...
