The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 638

Noelle quickly wrapped her arms around Hendrix's neck. She had done this countless times before. But perhaps it had been too long since she had done this because the moment itself, along with what was about to happen, suddenly made her a little nervous. Her fingers instinctively tightened.

Hendrix laid her down on the bed. Noelle's eyes were already closed, but after a long while, what she had anticipated still hadn't happened. Confused, she opened her eyes.

Hendrix was pulling the blanket over her. This action stunned her. She looked at him with eyes filled with confusion.

He smiled faintly before kissing her lightly on the forehead.

Noelle pressed her lips together. This wasn't what she meant. She could tell he wanted to do it, too—that much was obvious. Even the way he looked at her made that clear.

And yet, he did nothing. He simply gazed at her in silence.

She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to do it?"

Hendrix paused, then gave her hand a small squeeze. "You just recovered and still need more rest. We can do it once you're all better. There's no rush. We have plenty of time ahead of us."
