Lately, Dyno Corporation had been making waves in Coppersville. Not only did they secure several major projects, but one of their international collaborations even won an award on the global stage. Their success was so overwhelming that even Amity Group seemed to be overshadowed.
Hendrix knew that the Swift family was behind all of this. Otherwise, with the limited funds Dylan had inherited from Jean, there was no way he could have pulled all of this off. But it didn't matter—Hendrix never saw the Swift family as a real obstacle anyway.
In truth, he could take matters into his own hands if he wanted to. But just as Erwin had pointed out, there were too many restrictions in the country. To achieve his goal, it would take months, if not a year.
But Hendrix couldn't wait any longer. A month was already the limit of his patience. If there was still no news of Noelle, he would truly go mad.
The car soon arrived at Sienna Villa. When Hendrix entered, Rosie was in the backyard. She stood with her back to him, gazing upward at a tree.
Instead of calling out to her, he walked slowly over. It was only then that he noticed she was observing a butterfly. The butterfly had been caught by a praying mantis and seemed moments away from being devoured.
"Do you want to save it?" Hendrix asked, reaching out.
But Rosie quickly replied, "No."
Her response made Hendrix pause.
"Survival of the fittest," Rosie said. "It's the law of nature."
Hendrix fell silent, his gaze dropping to her.
Rosie was a picture of calm. Although she was indeed more mature than other kids her age, she had always been bright and cheerful in front of Noelle. But now, Hendrix could no longer see that expression on her face.
They simply stood there, staring at the butterfly until its wings were torn off and completely consumed.
Then, she slowly turned to him and asked, "Are you here to take me home?"

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...
