The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 524

The sudden noise startled Rosie, and she immediately buried herself in Noelle's arms, her wide eyes fixed on Hendrix.

But Hendrix didn't even notice her reaction. His gaze was locked on Noelle as he said, "Come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rosie grabbed Noelle's hand tightly. "Mommy, don't go."

Rosie had always been wary of Hendrix, but this was the first time Noelle sensed genuine fear in her. Her little fingers were gripping Noelle's hand so tightly that they had turned pale.

Noelle quickly reassured her, "It's okay. I'll just go see what he wants."

"No!" Rosie shook her head without hesitation.

Noelle glanced at the door. Hendrix was still standing there, unmoving. The tight set of his lips and his grim expression were nothing short of sharp and severe.

Rosie's grip on Noelle's hand tightened even more.

Noelle had no choice but to hand Rosie the little lion plushie beside her. "Wait here for me, okay? I'll be right back."

Rosie still didn't want to let go, but she was even more afraid of Hendrix standing there. So, she released Noelle's hand reluctantly.

"Mommy, come back quickly. I'm scared."

"Okay. Don't worry." Noelle ruffled Rosie's hair before standing up and walking toward Hendrix.

Hendrix turned immediately and led her to the balcony on the second floor.

As soon as they stopped, he asked her, "Where did you go today?"

Noelle hadn't expected him to make such a scene just to ask this question. She paused for a moment before answering, "I went to the mall with Seline. Why?"

"So? Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Hendrix's expression grew even darker as he stared at her intently.
