Noelle turned to look at Rosie.
She was pouting unhappily. But when she locked eyes with Noelle, she thought for a moment and then said, "Mommy, I want a little sister, not a little brother."
…
In the end, Noelle went to the airport alone. On the way, she happened to pass by a flower shop and decided to go inside to buy a bouquet of flowers.
It wasn't until she was standing at the airport with the flowers in her hand that she realized something was off.
Why was she giving Hendrix flowers? But since she had already bought them, it seemed wasteful to throw them away. Thus, she continued to hold them as she waited.
The flight arrived soon enough. Noelle watched as passengers began to stream out, but Hendrix was nowhere to be seen.
She couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to call him, an unfamiliar number popped up on her screen.
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat when she saw that number.
She answered the call. "Hello?"
"Is this Mrs. Freeman?" It was a woman's voice on the other end of the line.
Noelle frowned. "Who is this?"
"Ha! We have your husband. A big shot like him thinks he can just buy us off with a million dollars? How insulting! Let me tell you—my husband is dead, and I'm not going to settle for anything less than a few million dollars!"

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...
