The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 779
And even if Noelle said no, would Hendrix really stop?
However, she couldn't bring herself to say yes, either. In the end, she could only frown at Hendrix, frustration simmering in her chest.
But in Hendrix's eyes, that look carried a different kind of vulnerability. He cupped her cheek as he asked again, "Should I keep going?"
Noelle stayed silent and turned her face away.
But Hendrix, ever the tease, refused to let her off so easily. He caught her chin between his fingers, forcing her to look back at him. "Why aren't you saying anything? So, you don't want me to keep going?"
"Ugh, you're so annoying!" Noelle finally snapped. "If you don't want to continue, just get off me!"
There was anger in her words. But after everything that had just happened, her tone carried an unintended, breathy softness. In this moment, it almost sounded like she was flirting with him.
Hendrix's smile deepened. "Ah, so that means we can keep going," he murmured, as if talking to himself.
Noelle didn't reply. His hand slid lower, tracing the curve of her waist. His fingertips were cool, yet somehow burned whenever they touched, sending goosebumps across her skin. A jolt of electricity shot up her spine, making her gasp.
Even she was startled by it. Noelle had never imagined she could make that kind of noise. The moment it left her lips, her face flushed even hotter.
She bit down hard, but Hendrix was already leaning in and kissing her again. Her lips parted instinctively, but just as she tentatively tried to respond, he pulled back.
Then, he whispered into her ear, "Are you doing this as a way to make it up to me because you think I'm going to jail?"
His words were phrased as a question, but his tone left no room for doubt that he already knew.

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...
