The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 655

Rosie didn't answer.

"Are you not happy here?" Noelle asked.

Rosie shook her head, then nodded.

"I think you're not happy, Mommy," she said. "You don't smile at me as much as before. I want you to be like you used to be."

Noelle fell silent. Her hand, which had been gently stroking Rosie, froze in place.

While they were talking, a household staff had been standing nearby. Noticing Noelle's change in mood, she quickly stepped forward and said to Rosie, "Ms. Rosie, didn't you say you wanted to draw earlier? How about we do it together now?"

Rosie didn't answer. She just bit her lip and looked at Noelle.

After quickly taking a deep breath, Noelle forced a smile and said, "When we get the chance, I'll take you back to Stormridge for a visit, okay?"

Rosie's eyes lit up instantly. "Really?"

Seeing her like this, Noelle felt her chest tighten. After a moment, she nodded and said, "Really."

Rosie was overjoyed—so much so that she simply let the household staff take her away.

Noelle, however, remained seated where she was. Even though Hendrix had gone out today, the other household staff still followed Noelle everywhere.

No matter where she went, they were always nearby. Sometimes, if Noelle spent too long in the bathroom, they would even knock and ask if she was okay. Only after hearing her response would they feel reassured and continue waiting outside.

The sky gradually darkened as Noelle sat alone on the couch.
