Noelle froze for a second before yanking her hand back without a second thought.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" she asked through gritted teeth. "This is all your fault!"
"My fault?" Hendrix was still grinning. "I tried waking you up multiple times, but you refused to get up."
"If it weren't for you—" She wanted to keep arguing, but she forced herself to swallow back the words just as they were about to leave her lips.
Hendrix seemed amused by her reaction. "What about me?"
Noelle refused to engage further. Biting her lip, she propped herself up and got out of bed.
"You didn't finish your sentence. What about me?" Hendrix followed her, pestering her with questions.
Ignoring him, she marched into the bathroom and slammed the door shut, cutting his voice mid-sentence.
But she could still hear his low, pleased laughter from the other side. Annoyance prickled at her, but thoughts of Irene pushed it aside. Right now, she was in no mood to bicker with him. After quickly freshening up, she left the hotel with him.
"Relax," Hendrix said once they were in the car. "I had someone inform your mom last night. And the police haven't gotten any missing person reports, so everything's going to be okay."
Noelle continued to ignore him.
After a pause, Hendrix suddenly pulled out a bottle of milk from somewhere. "You haven't eaten all day. At least drink a little milk."

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...
