The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 659

Hendrix didn't say anything more. He simply held Noelle quietly in his arms.

That night, he didn't do anything else to her. Yet, he felt closer to her than ever before.

…

Noelle saw Marla and Marshall again sometime in April.

Knowing they didn't want to see her, she made sure to choose a day when she was sure they wouldn't be visiting Seline's grave to drop by. She brought Rosie along with her.

By now, Rosie had been attending kindergarten for a month and had adapted well there.

But even until now, she still didn't fully understand what death meant. When she saw Seline's photo on the tombstone, she looked confused. It was as if she couldn't comprehend why the person who used to play with her and buy her gifts and dresses was now lying inside that stone.

Noelle placed the flowers in front of Seline's tombstone. She had prepared some words to say to Seline. To avoid forgetting, she had even written them all down in a memo and spent days revising it.

But now, regardless of how familiar the words in the memo were, she suddenly found herself unable to speak when faced with the photo on the tombstone.

As Noelle stared blankly at Seline's photo, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her. She immediately stiffened before turning around.

Marla and Marshall stood not far away, watching them. Clearly, they hadn't expected to run into Noelle here, and that was why they stopped in their tracks.
