Hendrix had no choice but to return upstairs.
On most days, Noelle and Rosie's routine was the same—they would go out in the morning and again in the evening. By around 11:00 am, Noelle would usually bring Rosie back for lunch and a nap.
But today, they didn't return.
It wasn't until evening that Hendrix finally heard movement across the hall. He immediately opened his door. But what he saw was a group of unfamiliar men.
His expression darkened instantly. "What are you all doing here?"
The sudden sound startled the group of men. They turned to look at Hendrix, confused. "And you are?"
"What are you doing here?" Hendrix asked again, his tone impatient. "Are you here to fix the wiring? Do you really need this many people to fix one wire?"
"No, we're here to move some things," one of them replied.
Hendrix's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he asked in disbelief. "Move things?"
"Yeah." The mover double-checked the unit number. "Block 5, Unit 904. Yep, this is the place."
As he spoke, the mover used a key to open the door.
This time, Hendrix didn't stop them. He just stood there, staring blankly at the scene before him. It wasn't just disbelief—he simply didn't know what to do. He felt as if he had been abandoned right after experiencing the happiest day of his life.
Hendrix slowly retreated back into this apartment.
Noelle had been busy and exhausted all day. She had actually checked out this apartment before, but for various reasons, she hadn't been able to make up her mind. However, last night's events had finally pushed her to make the decision.
Fortunately, the landlord was very accommodating, and the apartment was fully furnished, ready for immediate move-in.
Noelle had originally planned to pack her things herself, but she really didn't want to see Hendrix, so she hired the movers to handle it instead.
This time, she was also more cautious. While the movers were busy, she even pretended to make a phone call, asking when the person on the other end would arrive.
"The movers are almost done, and you're still not here? You're really taking it easy, huh, honey?" she said as she watched the movers bustle around.
They didn't seem to pay any attention to what she was saying, simply handing her the invoice after finishing the job.

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...
