A sharp pain shot through Dylan, forcing him to his knees. Gritting his teeth, he looked up, only to see Hendrix already standing and shielding Noelle behind him.
Hendrix locked his gaze onto Dylan. His eyes were full of disdain, like Dylan was beneath him.
"You should be explaining yourself to Mr. Swift right now. Why don't you tell me what really happened?"
As he spoke, his eyes flicked toward Marshall.
By then, Marshall's expression had already turned ashen, and his chest was rising and falling violently. He looked as if he might pass out any second.
But Hendrix didn't care. He just grabbed Noelle's hand and walked out.
Noelle glanced back at Dylan one last time.
He was staring straight at her.
That look felt strangely familiar to Noelle, like she'd seen it somewhere before. She tried to catch a glimpse of Marla and Marshall, but before she could, Hendrix yanked her out of the private room.
Noelle couldn't help but ask, "Will they be okay in there?"
"Relax. I told the staff to check on them. If Mr. Swift collapses, someone will take him to the hospital."
His reply made Noelle frown. Then, it hit her. She looked up at him and said, "So, this was your real plan all along."
Hendrix raised an eyebrow. "You played your part well, too. Were you bluffing Mrs. Swift earlier, or did you actually remember something?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah? To which question? Does that mean you really remembered something?"

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...
