The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 672
"Alright. Go ahead. I'll leave once you're asleep," Hendrix said, but Noelle didn't believe a word of it.
Still, she was too tired to argue with him at that point. So, she simply pulled the blanket over herself and turned her back to him.
She hadn't felt sleepy earlier. But after the commotion with Hendrix, exhaustion gradually crept in, and her thoughts began to scatter.
Noelle was right not to believe Hendrix's words. He had said he would leave once she fell asleep, yet when she woke up the next morning, she found him lying right beside her. Not only that, but his arm was tightly around her, too.
Furious, Noelle was about to push him off when Hendrix suddenly turned his head and coughed twice. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at her. "I think I caught your cold."
Noelle froze for a moment.
Hendrix grabbed her hand and placed it on his forehead. "Here. Feel it. Do I have a fever?"
Noelle took his temperature with a thermometer, and it was perfectly normal.
But Hendrix stubbornly insisted that he wasn't feeling well. He even claimed that Noelle had passed her cold to him and that he needed to stay and recover. The way he acted was a far cry from his usual dignified and aloof demeanor. If anything, he looked more like a shameless rogue.
Noelle had no choice but to call a doctor. She also planned to move to another room.
Sensing her intention, Hendrix immediately stopped her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm moving to another room," Noelle replied calmly. "The doctor said we shouldn't risk cross-infecting each other."
"Then, what about me?"
"With so many household staff and a doctor around, do you really think they can't take care of you?"
"I don't want anyone else touching me." Hendrix tightened his grip on her wrist as he spoke.
Noelle pressed her lips together and didn't move.
"I caught this from you," Hendrix added.
"I told you to sleep in the study," Noelle replied flatly.
Hendrix, however, twisted her words. "Oh, so you sent me away last night because you were worried I'd catch your cold. Is that it?"
Noelle was left momentarily speechless by his words. She stared at him in shock, as if she couldn't comprehend how her words had been misinterpreted so drastically.
Hendrix acted as if he hadn't noticed her reaction. Instead, he lowered his head and let out a quiet chuckle. "I knew it. You weren't really mad at me."
Noelle didn't answer. She simply stared at him, expressionless. That reaction alone said everything.

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...
