The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 492

It took Noelle a moment to fully grasp the meaning behind Hendrix's words. Her expression changed instantly. "Hendrix, what are you trying to say?"

"Exactly what I said," Hendrix replied with a cold chuckle. "I've seen the name you gave Rosie. I don't mind that she has your last name, but she's still my kid! Letting her call another man 'Daddy' is something I will never allow.

"Of course, you're still young, so if you're lonely and want to remarry, I won't stop you. But you absolutely cannot take Rosie with you. Do you understand?"

After Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle fell silent. She simply stood there with her lips pressed tightly together as she stared at him.

Hendrix knew her well, and his gaze quickly dropped. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw her clenched fists, her shoulders trembling slightly from the effort.

He expected her to erupt in anger. In fact, he wouldn't even be surprised if she told him to leave. But instead, she suddenly unclenched her fists.

Then, she even smiled at him. "You've misunderstood."

Hendrix remained silent.

"Rosie was just talking nonsense. How can you take a child's words seriously? I did meet Dylan today, but nothing has happened between us in the past two years, nor will it happen now and definitely not in the future.

"As for the rest, do you really think I have the energy to think about those things right now? So, don't worry. What you're concerned about won't happen."

This wasn't right. Noelle's reaction was completely different from what Hendrix had expected. She should have been angry. Even if she didn't start a full-blown argument, she should have at least expressed her frustration.
