Hendrix's voice was low, and when it came through the video call, it carried an extra layer of magnetism.
Noelle paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"How did you know?" Hendrix chuckled, then showed her where he was. "Look. The dinner's not over yet."
He was standing in a hallway, with classic oil paintings hanging on the walls. To the side was a slightly ajar private room door.
Noelle fell silent, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Don't worry. I'll be leaving soon," Hendrix said, as if reading her thoughts. "The people inside are from Tilwick's television station. I needed to discuss some matters with them and thought I might as well treat them to dinner."
He then added, "They're all men."
Noelle let out a soft laugh, as if she found his clarification amusing.
Hendrix raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to come?"
"What?"
"I've noticed the scenery here is quite nice," Hendrix continued.
Noelle frowned. "Have you handled everything?"
"Yeah, it's pretty much done," Hendrix replied. "The construction team has identified the person responsible, and the victim's family has been taken care of. The TV station will be covering all this tomorrow."
"If it's all handled, then you should be able to come back now."
Hendrix paused, then said, "If I go back… Well, Rosie's there, right?"
"What?"
"I mean, the scenery here is really nice. I could show you around. But Rosie has school, doesn't she?"

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...
