The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 517
Noelle had initially wanted to explain that their meeting with Dylan had been purely coincidental. But after a pause, she simply said, "Thanks for your concern, but both Rosie and I know the truth of the matter. So, there's no need for you to worry about anything."
With that, Noelle walked forward with Rosie in her hand.
Rosie naturally followed her, and from the beginning to the end, she never showed Hendrix even the slightest trace of unnecessary emotion.
But when Noelle was bathing her later, she suddenly asked, "Mommy, does Daddy hate me?"
"Of course not," Noelle denied without hesitation.
"Then, why does he always look like this when he sees me?"
As she spoke, she furrowed her brows and pursed her lips.
Honestly speaking, the expression she made was very similar to Hendrix's, and Noelle couldn't help but laugh.
"Trust me. He doesn't," she said, pinching Rosie's nose. "That's just how he is. It has nothing to do with you."
"Really? But Mommy, you said before that I was the product of your and Daddy's love, so does that mean you don't love each other anymore?"
Noelle's smile slowly disappeared, and she stopped wringing the towel she was holding.
"Mommy?"
Rosie's voice brought Noelle back to reality. She looked at Rosie and smiled. "Yes?"
"Then, will you love Mr. Pritchett?"
"Rosie, love isn't as simple as you think," Noelle said. "Besides, having you is enough for me. I don't need anyone else."
"But Mommy, I want you to be with Mr. Pritchett," Rosie said earnestly.
When Rosie sleepily walked out of her room the next morning, she happened to see someone standing across the hallway.
She instantly woke up at the sight of him. She clutched her plushie tightly as she stared at him.
Hendrix saw her, too.
The two of them stood just a couple of yards apart, silently watching each other.
Finally, Hendrix was the first to look away. "Your mom is downstairs."
Rosie didn't say anything to him. Instead, she simply turned to leave. But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Hendrix.
Whenever Noelle was with her, Rosie always felt an inexplicable fear toward Hendrix. But now, she felt none of that.
She simply looked at Hendrix and said, "Can you not come here anymore? I don't want to see you."

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...
