Noelle ended up leaving the room first. The moment she stepped out, she shut the door firmly behind her.
Irene thought that was weird. "Why did you close the door?"
"No reason. Just a habit."
Noelle's cheeks were still faintly flushed, and she avoided Irene's gaze, brushing off the question with a vague reply.
Irene found it odd but didn't press further.
After breakfast, Irene announced she was heading to the back mountain to gather herbs to sell at the market in a few days.
Noelle had been thinking about how to divert her, and this played right into her plans.
"Come with me," Irene said. "And bring two more bottles of water."
Noelle hesitated for a moment. She usually accompanied Irene on these trips, so refusing now would seem suspicious. In the end, she nodded.
But before leaving, she suddenly called out, "I'm closing the door!"
Her voice was loud, ensuring the person inside her room could hear.
Irene gave her a strange look. "Who are you talking to?"
"You."
"I'm standing right here, and it's not like I'm deaf."

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...
