The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 608

"Hold the door!" a voice called out from outside the elevator.

If it had been anyone else, Noelle would have pressed the button to keep the doors open. But this time, she lowered her gaze and began frantically pressing the close button instead.

Alas, she was still too slow. Just as the doors were about to shut, a hand shot out and blocked them, causing them to slide open again.

Noelle pressed her lips into a tight line.

Despite being the one who forced the doors open, Hendrix still thanked her as he stepped inside.

Noelle didn't respond. Instead, she silently pulled Rosie to the side, as if trying to put as much distance between them and him as possible.

Hendrix noticed but said nothing, simply staring at the changing numbers on the elevator panel. Soon, they reached their floor, and Noelle stepped out with Rosie first.

Noelle then reached for her keys to unlock the door, but she quickly realized her keys were missing.

"Mommy, I need to go potty," Rosie said.

"Okay, sweetheart," Noelle replied, then began rummaging through her bag more urgently. But no matter how much she searched, the keys were still nowhere to be found.

"Mommy, I really need to go!" Rosie's voice grew more desperate, as if she were on the verge of tears.

Noelle was about to respond when a voice came from behind, "She can use the bathroom in my place."

Hearing this, Noelle froze, while Rosie began stomping her feet in urgency.

Without giving them time to think, Hendrix scooped Rosie up and headed toward his apartment.

Noelle hurried after him. "What are you doing? Put her down!"

Hendrix shot her a glance and asked, "Do you want her to pee herself?"

Noelle went completely silent.
