Beatrice stood nearby, her voice filled with surprise when she heard what Hendrix said. "You have news about Noelle? Where is she?"
"Creston. I'm going to bring her back now," Hendrix replied.
"Who told you this? Why would she be in Creston? And why hasn't she contacted you all this time? Is this information reliable?" Beatrice remained calm, firing off several questions in a row.
But Hendrix didn't have time to explain. "I'm heading to Creston now. Just take good care of Rosie."
"Wait. What if it's a scam? Hendrix!" Beatrice tried to stop him, but he didn't even break his stride.
By the time she ran outside, he was already in the car.
A scam? There was indeed a possibility that Dylan was lying to him just to buy time. There could be people waiting for Hendrix in Creston, ready to kill him as soon as he arrived. But so what?
It had been so long since Noelle vanished without a trace. No one knew how Hendrix had made it through this time. For the first time, Hendrix understood what it meant to feel like a walking corpse. If it weren't for the belief that he could still find her, he might have already been dead.
So, there was no way he could stay calm right now. Even if he was certain that Dylan was lying to him, he had to go and see for himself because he had no other choice.
He had already arranged for a flight. Due to the urgency, he couldn't get a direct flight to Creston. But it didn't matter. He had booked a flight to a nearby city. Once he arrived, he could drive the rest of the way. In any case, he didn't want to wait a single second longer.

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...
