But in the end, Hendrix still managed to finish his sentence.
Even Jerry couldn't help but be moved by the sight of him. He quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'll definitely help you. I mean, this is our duty, after all. So, you can rest assured!"
As he spoke, he signaled to his colleague to print out the photo of Noelle from Hendrix's phone.
When Jerry saw the photo again, he furrowed his brows slightly. He couldn't help but feel like he had seen the woman in the photo somewhere before. But he couldn't remember where.
"Captain Ortiz?" someone beside him called out cautiously.
Only then did Jerry snap out of it and realize Hendrix was still in the office.
"Oh, right. This way, please, Mr. Freeman. I'll take you to the hotel now."
"Thank you." Hendrix nodded at him.
Jerry smiled and opened the office door for him.
Meanwhile, the man who had just been brought in was still arguing. "It's not like that. We're really getting married out of our own free will. We're from the same village! I even ate at her house when I was a kid!
"Both of our families agreed to this marriage! Just yesterday, I delivered the wedding gift to her house. It was 8,800 dollars! Nelly, tell them. Isn't that right?"
The woman sitting next to the man nodded obediently, as if following a command.
"Sir, please calm down first. The issue is that Nelly's identity doesn't match her. Look at her ID—the birth year shows she should be around 40 years old. Does she look 40 years old to you?" the officer across from them explained.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

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...
