The banquet continued.
Once the crowd confirmed the man before them was indeed Hendrix, they swarmed him with questions and concern.
"Where have you been all this time?"
"Why was there no news of you at all?"
"I knew those reporters were unreliable! But it's such a relief you're safe."
"What are your plans now, Mr. Freeman?"
In reality, Amity Group's current situation wasn't optimistic. But some people were simply born with a presence—no matter what circumstances they were in or what challenges they faced, they remained composed. And in doing so, they inspired confidence in everyone around them.
Dylan stood there, watching him coldly. Then, something occurred to him. He turned away and dialed a number.
"When did Hendrix return? And did he come back alone?"
If Hendrix was back, what about Noelle? Something about Hendrix's demeanor felt off to Dylan. Before his disappearance, Hendrix had been outright hostile toward him. Yet tonight, he'd greeted him willingly, and he hadn't mentioned Noelle at all.
Could it be…
"Mr. Pritchett, we just confirmed—Hendrix did return alone."
Dylan frowned. "Are you sure?"
"Uh, that's what we've found so far. But if he deliberately covered his tracks, then we might—"
"You bunch of useless fools!" Dylan snapped without hesitation. "Figures. If you were any more competent, you would've known that Hendrix had returned to Coppersville in the first place."
"Keep digging. I need to know if Noelle is dead or alive. Even if she's just a corpse now, dig it up!"

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over.

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...
