Hendrix ignored Noelle's pointed gaze and simply took the thermometer from her.
"Hmm, you don't have a fever. It's probably just a mild cold."
Despite saying that, Hendrix immediately turned around to call the doctor.
Just then, a household staff came upstairs. "Mr. Freeman, there's a guest here to see you."
Hendrix frowned and asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know her, but she said she's a friend of Mrs. Freeman, and her last name is Upton."
Hendrix turned to look at Noelle.
Noelle immediately remembered. "Ruth Upton?"
"Who's that?" Hendrix asked.
Noelle stared at him without answering. Her gaze made Hendrix's heart skip a beat. Then, he suddenly remembered—Ruth was Sandra's best friend.
Those people had long faded from their lives, and Hendrix never expected them to resurface in this way.
Hendrix quickly changed the subject. "What does she want with you?"
"I don't know."
"Then, don't see her," Hendrix said, making the decision for her.
He didn't want Noelle to recall the past and end up angry with him again. Thus, he immediately instructed the household staff to send Ruth away.
But moments later, the household staff returned with a troubled expression, saying Ruth refused to leave and insisted on seeing Noelle.

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...
