The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 611

Hendrix had knocked out the wall in the middle. The master bedroom and study had been combined into one, and the secondary bedroom and living room now felt much more spacious.

By now, Rosie was completely exhausted. The moment Noelle picked her up, she immediately leaned on Noelle's shoulder and fell asleep. As for where they were now, she didn't even notice.

"The bedding is clean. Do you need anything else?" Hendrix asked her from the doorway.

"No, thank you."

"Don't you need to shower or change into pajamas?"

His question immediately made Noelle frown.

Hendrix quickly added, "Sorry. I didn't mean it like that. So, um… Have a good rest, then. I'm in the room across the hall. Call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned and left. But Noelle quickly followed him.

Hendrix initially thought she had something to say to him, but the next moment, he realized she had closed the door behind him. He even heard the sound of the lock clicking into place.

Hendrix paused mid-step, then couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Guess some people never really change," he thought.

After all these years, Noelle was still as naive as ever.

This was his home—wasn't it only natural that he had a key to the room she was staying in?

But she had planned to stay at a hotel last night anyway. He was the one who shamelessly insisted they stay here. So, it was only natural that she treated this place like a hotel—coming and going as she pleased.

At this door, Hendrix's hand finally fell back down. Then, he opened the door to check the situation outside—there was no sound or movement from the door across the hall.

Hendrix glanced at the time—it was around when Noelle usually took Rosie outside to play. Without hesitation, he took the elevator down.

But when he reached the ground floor, they were nowhere to be seen. Even though Noelle sometimes took Rosie elsewhere, this time something felt off to Hendrix—like something bad was happening.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of emptiness in his chest.
