The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 793
Hendrix had rushed back because Rosie was crying—loudly and heartbreakingly so. Since the day he first met her, this was the first time he had ever seen her cry like this.
Earlier, Rosie had been overjoyed to see Noelle, clinging to her and refusing to let go.
But now, Noelle stood beside her, completely at a loss.
Hendrix took one look and immediately knew what was going on. He crouched in front of Rosie. "Don't cry."
Rosie glanced at him, only to wail even harder.
Hendrix frowned and turned to Noelle. "Did you say something to her?"
"Not much." Noelle twisted the hem of her shirt. "She mentioned her birthday is coming up, and I said I forgot."
Of course. Hendrix wasn't surprised. He grabbed a tissue, wiped Rosie's tears, and picked her up.
Noelle moved to follow, but Hendrix quickly turned his head around and said, "Go back to your room first. I'll come find you later."
Noelle stopped in her tracks, her eyes lingering on them until Hendrix shut Rosie's bedroom door behind him.
By now, Rosie had calmed slightly, but her breath still hitched in little hiccups. It was as if all the emotions she'd bottled up had finally exploded, leaving her unable to stop.
Hendrix wet a towel in the bathroom and carefully cleaned her face with his good hand. Then, he said, "I told you before, didn't I? Your mom has forgotten some things."
Rosie didn't answer, but the grievance in her eyes was unmistakable. It was as if she was silently asking, "She could forget anything else, but how could she forget my birthday?"
"Actually, I think this might not be so bad." Hendrix tried his best to come up with something. "This is my first time celebrating your birthday with you, and in her memory, it's her first time, too."

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...
