After Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle remained silent for a long time. Her lips were pressed together, and her expression made it seem like she was almost indifferent to his words.
After waiting for a while, Hendrix reached out and pinched her cheek again. "Did you fall asleep?"
Noelle couldn't help but frown at his question, but she didn't argue with him. Instead, she asked, "Did Jean really die from an infectious disease?"
Hendrix was caught off guard by her question. But then, he quickly smiled and said, "Who knows? At least, that's what Dylan told everyone."
Noelle fell silent again, her gaze dropping.
After a moment, she suddenly remembered something. "Back then, was it you or Dylan who reported Mr. Fisher?"
Hendrix went quiet at her question. His hand, which had been resting on her cheek, slowly moved to play with the hair by her ear. His touch was light, almost ticklish.
Noelle couldn't help but squirm slightly. Hendrix smiled and suddenly leaned down to kiss her cheek. Then, his kisses trailed downward.
Noelle stopped him and said impatiently, "You still haven't answered my question."
"Dylan was the one who reported him," Hendrix answered honestly. "But I played a part in gathering the evidence. And do you think it was pure coincidence that the authorities acted so quickly?"
Noelle was finally able to piece everything together. So back then, Dylan was merely a pawn in Hendrix's hands. Even though others had suspected something, a thorough investigation revealed that Hendrix had nothing to do with it.
Seeing that Noelle was silent, Hendrix asked, "Do you think I'm a monster?"

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...
