When Hendrix left earlier, Irene had been asleep inside the house.
But now, it was like she suddenly remembered something. Sitting there with a flashlight in hand, she seemed to be waiting for someone.
But who could she possibly be waiting for? After all, the person she most wanted to see would never come back.
After pressing his lips together, Hendrix finally walked outside.
Irene heard his footsteps but didn't turn around. She just kept sitting there, stubborn.
"Can you tell me about Nelly?" Hendrix asked.
Irene looked up at him, surprised.
Hendrix's expression was awkward. This wasn't something he usually did. He hadn't even managed to get along with his own mother, Beatrice.
Irene was practically a stranger to him. Well, not completely a stranger. After all, he had her to thank for the wound on his hand.
If he had a choice, Hendrix wouldn't have wanted anything to do with her. But he knew Noelle cared about Irene.
Even without a blood connection, Irene's care for Noelle these past months had been real. The motherly love she gave her had been real, too.

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...
