"Of course, if you ever get tired of the city and want to come back for a visit, I'll keep that room ready for you," Irene said.
With that, she stood up.
Hendrix watched her leave and quietly said, "Thank you."
Irene paused in her tracks for just a second but didn't say anything else.
She was gone, yet Hendrix remained seated, unmoving. He tilted his head back, staring at the dark sky.
Compared to Coppersville, the economy and development here were certainly not worth mentioning. But the air here was clean.
In Coppersville, looking up only showed endless skyscrapers—even the moonlight seemed hazy. Here, though, the moon shone bright and clear.
After staring for a long time, Hendrix finally stood up and slowly walked toward the house across from him. What he didn't know was that while he was talking to Irene, someone had been secretly standing behind the door the whole time.
Noelle had heard every word of their conversation. She didn't say anything, but her cheeks were cold, all from her own tears.
…
Meanwhile, Dylan was at a party. It was a small victory celebration. After all, he had completed a small part of the acquisition of Amity Group.
With Hendrix's reported death, many of Amity Group's old shareholders had switched sides without much effort on his part.
Dylan had already acquired a significant portion of shares. Thus, he will be able to officially participate at the upcoming shareholder meeting.
The situation was now under his control. He had succeeded in dragging down Hendrix from the top.

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...
