After Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle suddenly fell silent.
The silence only made Hendrix feel more suffocated.
Just as he was about to say something, Noelle asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Caught off guard by her question, Hendrix blurted out, "What?"
Noelle looked at him calmly. "Is that how you really see me? How irrational do you think I am to do something like that?"
Even though she looked calm, her voice carried a clear undercurrent of anger.
Surprisingly, Hendrix felt relieved.
"Do you know what Dylan said to me earlier?" Noelle asked.
"What?"
"He said you deliberately hid the news about Mr. Swift's illness from me," Noelle replied. "But I told him then and there that I trust you. Hendrix, is this how you repay the trust I've given you?"
"No, that's not—"
Hendrix finally realized the gravity of the situation. He stepped forward, ready to explain.
But Noelle stopped him in his tracks. "Stay right there."
Her tone was firm, leaving Hendrix no choice but to halt.
After giving him one last look, Noelle turned and walked away quickly.
But Noelle was in no mood to be friendly. The moment she saw him, she turned and headed upstairs.
Hendrix followed without hesitation. However, Noelle quickly shut the door behind her, nearly hitting him in the face.
He could have easily asked the butler for a key, but it was only a passing thought. After all, Noelle had chosen to come here despite her anger. If he forced the door open now, there was no telling where she might go next.
So, Hendrix lowered his raised hand and turned around. That was when he noticed Rosie standing behind him, looking up at him with curiosity.
"Did you and Mommy have a fight?" she asked.
Hendrix hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Rosie suddenly grinned. She then turned and ran downstairs, shouting as she went, "Grandma, I was right! They did have a fight!"

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...
