The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 696
"Who fell ill? Is it someone important that you have to rush over in the middle of the night?" Noelle continued to press, staring intently at Hendrix with a frown.
Hendrix suddenly found himself at a loss for words. It was only then that he realized—Noelle was becoming harder and harder to fool. So, he understood why some people said not to fall for women who were too smart.
But that advice was for ordinary men. Hendrix didn't have that kind of problem at all.
"Yes. He's quite an important business partner," Hendrix replied calmly. "He's getting on in years and had a sudden heart attack. It was pretty serious. But by the time I got there, he had already been resuscitated, so I didn't stay long."
As he spoke, his eyes never once left Noelle's—giving no signs of deception.
But Noelle asked again, "Who is it? Do I know him?"
"You might. I'm not sure," Hendrix answered. Then, he deftly changed the subject. "Did you stay up just to ask me this?"
Seeing how relaxed Hendrix was, Noelle felt her anxiety slowly ease and nodded.
"Don't worry. Everything's fine," Hendrix said, ruffling her hair. "Go to sleep first. I'm going to change into my pajamas."
This time, Noelle didn't refuse. By the time Hendrix returned in his pajamas, Noelle was already in bed, though her eyes were still open.
"Can't sleep?" Hendrix asked with a smile. "Should we do something about it?"
Noelle didn't respond, only turned over and wrapped her arms around him.
Hendrix could sense she wasn't in the mood. Which was just as well, since he wasn't in one, either. So, he simply pulled Noelle into a light embrace without saying a word.
"I feel uneasy," Noelle whispered. "Like something's about to happen."
"You're overthinking it," Hendrix replied. "What could possibly happen?"

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...
