Hendrix didn't answer Noelle.
"She's just starting to warm up to you, so can't you be a little nicer to her?" Noelle asked, displeasure growing in her tone.
"Haven't I been nice to her?" Hendrix finally replied.
"Then, tell me—what did you say to her earlier?"
Hendrix paused mid-step. Then, he turned around to glance at her, saying, "I told her you were injured and needed rest."
"That's all?"
"What else did you think I said?" Hendrix asked with a chuckle.
Noelle felt there was more to it, but Hendrix didn't give her a chance to press further. Instead, he scooped her up into his arms and carried her swiftly toward the bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Noelle blurted out.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Hendrix shot back.
His response left Noelle momentarily speechless. After a pause, she said, "Didn't you just say I needed rest?"
"Exactly. And this is rest," he replied.
By then, Hendrix had already carried her into the bedroom. But he didn't set her down. Instead, he kicked the door shut behind them, and in no time, Noelle found herself pinned beneath him on the bed.
"You—" Mindful of his still-healing wounds, Noelle was about to say something. But before she could, Hendrix silenced her with a kiss.

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...
