The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 383

Chapter 383
Noelle quickly pushed the feeling down, turned over, and went back to sleep.
She didn’t know when Hendrix had returned. Half–asleep, she vaguely sensed someone watching her.
The curtains were drawn, and the room was completely dark.
Even though she had a feeling, she still jumped in fright as soon as she opened her eyes. She let out a sharp gasp and instinctively shrank back.
Hendrix hurriedly turned on the lights. “It’s me.”
His voice sounded low and steady.
Noelle frowned at him.
“I just got back. You looked like you were sleeping well, so didn’t wake you,” he explained slowly. “Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”
Noelle swallowed back the curse sitting on the tip of her tongue and said, “I’m not hungry.”
“I got you a cake,” Hendrix said suddenly. “But chocolate this time. Want to try some?”
As he spoke, he pulled out a box.
However, the sight of the cake made Noelle feel queasy because it reminded her of that night. And the moment those memories surfaced, she felt utterly ridiculous for ever believing and pitying him.
“You don’t want it?” Hendrix’s voice came again. “That night, you seemed to like it, so I thought you’d want more. I guess… I was wrong.”
For some reason, the way he said it made Noelle feel like he was… testing her.
Had he figured something out? Or was he just trying to gauge her reaction?
Noelle wasn’t sure. She only responded calmly, “I just woke up. Cake feels too heavy right now.”
“Oh?” Hendrix didn’t seem surprised. “Then, what do you want? I can have someone bring it over.”
Noelle glanced at him. “Can I have mac and cheese?”
Hendrix studied her for a moment, then suddenly smiled. “Of course.”
He then made a call to have someone buy it. He even had them buy from multiple places to make sure at least one
suited her taste.
Then, he asked with a smile, “By the way, do you think it’s a boy or girl?”
His eyes lit up as he spoke like a father genuinely looking forward to his child’s arrival.
But Noelle wasn’t fooled by his act. Instead, she turned the question back on him. “What about you? Do you want a boy or a girl?”
“I’d be happy with either.” Hendrix’s smile widened as he gazed at her softly. “As long as it’s our child, I’ll love them. But if it’s a girl, that would be even better. She’d probably look just like you.”
Noelle remained impassive. “But they say daughters take after their fathers.”

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...
