"Look at what they did to my son! My son was perfectly fine, and now he's lying in a hospital bed! I'll make sure that bastard rots in jail forever!"
Joanne's shrill voice pierced through the door.
Noelle sat on a chair, clutching a cup of hot water. Beside her sat Irene, her face dark with fury.
The yelling outside continued, "Nelly is nothing but a slut! I knew from the start she was no good! Just look at that face. Who wouldn't she try to seduce? Sid isn't that kind of person! She must've failed to seduce him and then conspired with her lover to frame my son!"
Irene couldn't take it anymore. She flung the door open, and the shouting stopped instantly.
It was no surprise that Joanne would be scared of Irene since the old woman was holding a hoe in her hand.
"Get lost," Irene said simply.
Joanne paled but stood her ground.
Seeing this, Irene was just about to charge forward with her hoe when Joanne panicked and quickly turned to leave.
But the onlookers lingered nearby, watching the commotion.
Without hesitation, Irene grabbed a nearby basin of water and flung it at them. "Scram, all of you!"
"Hey! What's your problem?"
"Yeah! You don't own this street!"
They cursed under their breath, but Irene's expression was so terrifying—like she was ready to fight—that they had no choice but to scatter.
Irene slammed the door shut with a bang. When she turned around, she found Noelle already moving toward the exit.
"Where are you going?" Irene quickly tried to stop her.
"The police station," Noelle answered softly.

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...
