The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 433
Chapter 433
The peaceful moment was shattered when Hendrix’s phone rang.
He frowned, having no intention to answer. But then, he remembered the important work dinner he had tonight.
After taking a deep breath, he straightened up and answered the call.
The person on the other end said something that made his frown deepen.
Finally, he replied softly, “Alright. I understand.”
With that, he hung up. Then, he turned to Noelle. “I’ve got to go.”
“Okay.” Noelle nodded calmly, as if the tender moment between them just moments ago had never happened.
But Hendrix didn’t plan to let her off so easily. He wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her.
This kiss was different from his usual ones. It was gentle, warm, and lingering–Noelle couldn’t help but feel her body relax into the kiss.
She suddenly went weak in the knees, causing her hand to instinctively shoot up and clutch his collar tightly. Only when she was breathless, her cheeks flushed, did he finally relinquish her lips.
With one hand still cradling her face, Hendrix gently brushed his other thumb over her lips to wipe away the traces of their kiss.
“Alright. I’m going now.”
As he spoke, he glanced down at her hands.
It was only then Noelle realized she was still gripping his collar. The tips of her ears turned red, and she quickly let go.
Hendrix’s smirk deepened. He reached out to ruffle her hair. “Don’t wait up for me tonight. Get some early rest.”
“I know,” Noelle replied, but her eyes avoided his.
But Hendrix didn’t mind. He hugged her once more before putting on his coat and heading out.
The temperature outside was much colder than indoors. Hendrix wasn’t usually bothered by the cold, but now, he couldn’t help but shiver once he stepped outside.
Then, he found himself desperately longing for the warmth inside the room. He instinctively turned toward the building behind him–the light in Noelle’s room was still on.
Levi had the car ready, the door already opened.
But Hendrix stood still, staring at a particular window as if waiting for something–or someone–to appear.
“Mr. Freeman?”
Even when Levi called him curiously, Hendrix didn’t move.
Finally, he saw the curtains shift, and immediately after, Noelle appeared at the window.
And just like that, they locked eyes with each other.
A smile immediately appeared on Hendrix’s lips.
Noelle, however, froze for a moment before decisively closing the curtains.

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. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
