The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 604

All afternoon, the movers across the hall were busy moving things in. Even with the door closed, Noelle could still hear them talking loudly. It sounded like the new tenants were doing some renovations, too. For hours, the sound of hammering and drilling echoed nonstop.

As exhausted as she was, Rosie tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. In the end, Noelle had no choice but to lie down beside her, gently patting her back.

But Rosie's eyes remained wide open, staring at Noelle.

Noelle couldn't help but laugh, then said helplessly, "Alright. What do you want to do?"

"I can't sleep."

"Close your eyes, and you'll fall asleep soon."

Rosie obediently closed her eyes, but within seconds, they popped open again. "See, Mommy? I just can't sleep?"

"So, what do you want to do instead?"

"I want to draw. Or read a book."

"In other words, you just don't want to sleep, right?"

Rosie giggled sheepishly.

Noelle was about to say more when there was a sudden knock at the door.

Rosie, who had just claimed she didn't want to sleep, immediately burrowed into Noelle's arms, clutching her tightly and squeezing her eyes shut.

Her reaction made Noelle chuckle. She patted Rosie's hand reassuringly. "It's okay. Mommy will go see who it is."

"No, don't go, Mommy!" Rosie refused to let go of her hand.
