Hendrix went to pick up Rosie as promised.
As soon as they met, Beatrice noticed his pale complexion and frowned. "What have you been doing? You look terrible."
"I was just really busy the past couple of days," Hendrix replied while crouching down in front of Rosie. "Ready to go home with me?"
Rosie nodded. She appeared reserved on the surface, but as soon as she turned around, she immediately grabbed her little backpack.
Hendrix watched her and smiled faintly. Just then, his phone rang. When he saw the name on the screen, his expression stiffened slightly.
Rosie didn't know what that expression meant. It seemed like anticipation, but also unease. Before she could get a closer look, Hendrix turned to her.
"Wait here. I need to take this call."
With that he turned and walked slowly to the yard. The caller was clearly patient. When Hendrix didn't answer the first call, they immediately dialed again. This time, Hendrix picked up.
"Hendrix, this is all your doing, isn't it?" Dylan asked without preamble.
Hendrix didn't respond.
Dylan laughed. "Mr. Freeman, aren't you the one who prides yourself on being upright and despises such methods? What's with the change of heart?"
Hendrix ignored his taunt and instead asked, "Do you want to live?"
The question silenced Dylan.
Hendrix asked again, "Where is Noelle?"

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...
