Hendrix's tone and expression gave Noelle a sudden feeling. It was as if, at this moment, even if she asked him to kill someone, he wouldn't hesitate to do it.
Of course, that was just a passing thought.
"I hate Ruth," she said, lowering her eyes.
Hendrix immediately caught on. "Alright. Then—"
"But I don't want you to handle it," Noelle added.
This left Hendrix puzzled.
"I want to deal with her myself," Noelle told him.
Hendrix became momentarily stunned.
"Is that not okay?" she asked.
It wasn't until then that he answered, "No, it's not that. So… you're not angry anymore?"
Honestly speaking, Hendrix couldn't care less if Ruth lived or died. Right now, all he cared about was Noelle's feelings.
It seemed like Noelle had forgotten about what happened in the past. So when he brought it up again, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
That was when Hendrix realized his mistake.
He was about to brush past the topic when Noelle spoke up instead, "As I've already told Ruth—I've known about some things from the start. As for the rest, you've explained them. Besides, didn't I just bite you?"
Even though she said that, Hendrix still stared at her in disbelief. "So?"
"So, the past can't be erased—I know that. But right now, I have no intention of leaving you."

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...
