The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 609
Noelle's expression immediately darkened. She rushed forward and snatched the keys from Hendrix's hand.
"Did you—" She wanted to accuse him of stealing them, but before the words could leave her mouth, she realized how absurd that sounded.
Hendrix, as if reading her mind, quickly explained, "You dropped them when you were taking something out of your bag earlier. I just picked them up."
"Then, why didn't you give them to me right away?"
"You didn't give me a chance, did you?" Hendrix smiled faintly, his tone almost innocent. "Besides, Rosie was literally about to burst, and I was worried she'd pee herself."
His explanation sounded perfectly reasonable.
For a moment, Noelle was unable to come up with a retort. She stared at him for a few seconds before finally taking Rosie's hand and leaving.
"Aren't you going to drink the juice?" he called after her.
Noelle didn't even glance back. She knew he had done it on purpose. Otherwise, he would have handed her the keys in the elevator. The thought made her slam the door harder than usual.
Rosie, watching from the side, asked timidly, "Mommy, did I do something wrong?"
Noelle quickly snapped out of her thoughts and apologized to her. "No, no. I just closed the door too hard by accident. I'm not mad."
Rosie looked up at her, studying her face carefully before finally nodding in relief.
Because of this incident, Noelle had to spend a long time explaining the situation to the locksmith. In the end, she had to reimburse him for the trip to smooth things over. And so, Noelle added another mark to Hendrix's tally of offenses.
She thought this would just be a small episode, something that would pass without further consequences. But as she was preparing to take a shower that night, the lights above her flickered and then went out completely, plunging the entire apartment into darkness.
Rosie, who was lying in bed, let out a scream.
Noelle immediately rushed into the bedroom. "It's okay. It's just a power outage."

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...
