The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 638
Noelle quickly wrapped her arms around Hendrix's neck. She had done this countless times before. But perhaps it had been too long since she had done this because the moment itself, along with what was about to happen, suddenly made her a little nervous. Her fingers instinctively tightened.
Hendrix laid her down on the bed. Noelle's eyes were already closed, but after a long while, what she had anticipated still hadn't happened. Confused, she opened her eyes.
Hendrix was pulling the blanket over her. This action stunned her. She looked at him with eyes filled with confusion.
He smiled faintly before kissing her lightly on the forehead.
"Go to sleep," he said. "I'll stay here with you."
Noelle pressed her lips together. This wasn't what she meant. She could tell he wanted to do it, too—that much was obvious. Even the way he looked at her made that clear.
And yet, he did nothing. He simply gazed at her in silence.
She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to do it?"
Hendrix paused, then gave her hand a small squeeze. "You just recovered and still need more rest. We can do it once you're all better. There's no rush. We have plenty of time ahead of us."
She had lost weight ever since she fell ill. Under the warm, golden glow of the lamp, she still looked a little pale. She was frowning slightly, and her body was curled up, as if she were searching for a sense of security.
Hendrix reached out and gently patted her on the back. He had seen her soothe Rosie to sleep like this before. If it worked for a child, then maybe it would for her, too. He hadn't expected it to actually help, but Noelle's brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing evened out.
Hendrix watched her, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. In this moment, he felt like there was nothing else he needed to think about. Everything outside this room seemed to fade away, as if there were only two of them in this entire world.
He slowly leaned down and carefully pressed her palm against his cheek. Careful not to wake her, his movements were painstakingly gentle. After a moment, he bent forward once more and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

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...
