The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 656

"Didn't I tell you not to walk around barefoot?" Hendrix asked with a frown.

"The floor has heating," Noelle replied.

"That's still not okay."

Noelle stared at him for a moment, then finally muttered, "Fine."

"What were you looking at just now?"

"What have you been busy with lately?"

They spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping.

Hendrix was momentarily stunned, then he chuckled softly.

Noelle, however, frowned at him. "What are you laughing at?"

Instead of answering her question, Hendrix countered with one of his own, "Do you really want to know?"

Noelle hesitated, then nodded.

"Good. Because there's something I want to tell you, too," Hendrix said. "But I haven't washed up yet, so can you wait a while longer?"

"Can't you tell me first?"

"No."

Hendrix had been so accommodating lately that Noelle had grown used to it. So, when he flat-out refused this time, she was momentarily caught off guard.

By then, Hendrix had already stood up and was heading toward the bathroom, giving Noelle no chance to argue further.
