Hendrix didn't care about any of that. As soon as he entered the room, the first thing he did was pull Noelle behind him.
"No matter how great you think Dylan is, Noelle is now my wife. And that's something you can't change," he said firmly.
Marla fell silent.
Seeing this, Noelle quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Swift. He didn't mean it that way."
She then turned to Hendrix and said, "Can't you tell Mrs. Swift was just joking? Apologize to her now."
"No, that won't be necessary," Marla interjected before Noelle could pull Hendrix's hand. "In fact, I think what you said earlier was correct. This matter truly has nothing to do with me—I've overstepped.
"The doctor said Marshall needs plenty of rest. I appreciate you both coming to visit him, but I think it's best if you leave now."
Compared to earlier, Marla's expression had noticeably darkened.
Noelle wanted to explain further, but Hendrix seemed almost eager to leave. He simply nodded without waiting for Marla to say another word. After a quick goodbye to Marshall, he promptly pulled Noelle to leave.
He didn't even give her a chance to speak. Noelle was practically dragged out of the ward.
"Wait, Hendrix! I said, wait!" As she spoke, Noelle forcefully shook off his grip.

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...
