"You really think I'd do it with him?" Noelle called him out on exactly what was on his mind.
Hendrix's expression changed slightly. The car, which had been moving steadily forward, suddenly swerved sharply before screeching to an abrupt stop.
The abrupt motion jolted Noelle, causing her head to slam against the windshield with a loud thud. The pain was so intense that her vision blurred.
Once she recovered, her first instinct was to pound Hendrix's arm. "Why did you do that? That hurt!"
Hendrix didn't respond, letting her hit him as much as she wanted.
He even leaned over to carefully inspect Noelle's forehead to make sure there were no injuries before saying, "That's what happens when you start speaking nonsense."
"What are you talking about?"
"You know damn well what you just said. What were you implying that you'd do with Dylan?"
Noelle laughed in exasperation. "When did I say I wanted to do anything with him? What are you even on about?"
As she spoke, she pushed his hand away.
"Isn't that what you meant earlier?"
"I was asking if you were worried that something would happen between us, not that I would do it!"
"So… did you do it with him before?" Hendrix finally couldn't hold back the question he had been meaning to ask.
Lately, things had been going well for him. His relationship with Rosie had improved so much that they even planned to attend Rosie's kindergarten open day together this Friday. With things looking up between them, the past no longer came up in conversation.
He had assumed life would continue this way. In fact, Dylan's name rarely crossed his mind anymore. But running into him today, coupled with the way Noelle and Dylan had looked at each other, suddenly brought back some unpleasant memories.

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...
