At first, Hendrix hadn't really cared. To him, Ruth and Ricky were insignificant. But since Noelle found amusement in watching them struggle, he was willing to let her have her way.
As for what happened to Ruth and Ricky in the end, it didn't matter to him. But Ricky's message made him change his mind.
When Hendrix heard Ricky's deliberately lowered tone, he almost laughed out of sheer frustration. Dylan was one thing—although he didn't think much of him, the fact that Noelle had been with him in the past meant he must have had some redeeming qualities.
But Ricky? Who did he think he was? How could someone like him actually have the audacity to set his sights on Noelle? It was both ignorant and laughable.
So, Hendrix changed his mind. He wouldn't interfere with Noelle's plan, but he would refine it a little. Besides, he was done seeing Ruth around. It was time to make sure they disappeared from this city for good.
"Hendrix." Noelle's voice suddenly broke through his thoughts.
Hendrix snapped back to reality and smiled at her. "What is it?"
"You still haven't explained why you were looking at my phone."
"Oh, you received a telemarketing call just now. And I happened to see the messages when I answered it for you."
"But I've already archived his messages, so how did you just 'happen' to see them?"
Hendrix was stumped. As he watched Noelle furrow her brows, he couldn't help but think—sometimes, a woman being this smart was more trouble than it was worth.
After staring at him for a moment, Noelle suddenly said, "Give me your phone."
Hendrix quickly handed it over without hesitation.
Noelle immediately started checking it. But she found that Hendrix's contact list was incredibly dull—filled entirely with work-related people, and there were almost no chat records.
"Did you clear everything beforehand?" Noelle asked.
Hendrix chuckled. "Clear what?"

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...
