The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 702

After Hendrix finished speaking, Noelle suddenly fell silent.

The silence only made Hendrix feel more suffocated.

Just as he was about to say something, Noelle asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Caught off guard by her question, Hendrix blurted out, "What?"

Noelle looked at him calmly. "Is that how you really see me? How irrational do you think I am to do something like that?"

Even though she looked calm, her voice carried a clear undercurrent of anger.

Surprisingly, Hendrix felt relieved.

"Do you know what Dylan said to me earlier?" Noelle asked.

"What?"

"He said you deliberately hid the news about Mr. Swift's illness from me," Noelle replied. "But I told him then and there that I trust you. Hendrix, is this how you repay the trust I've given you?"

"No, that's not—"

Hendrix finally realized the gravity of the situation. He stepped forward, ready to explain.

But Noelle stopped him in his tracks. "Stay right there."

Her tone was firm, leaving Hendrix no choice but to halt.

After giving him one last look, Noelle turned and walked away quickly.

But Noelle was in no mood to be friendly. The moment she saw him, she turned and headed upstairs.

Hendrix followed without hesitation. However, Noelle quickly shut the door behind her, nearly hitting him in the face.

He could have easily asked the butler for a key, but it was only a passing thought. After all, Noelle had chosen to come here despite her anger. If he forced the door open now, there was no telling where she might go next.

So, Hendrix lowered his raised hand and turned around. That was when he noticed Rosie standing behind him, looking up at him with curiosity.

"Did you and Mommy have a fight?" she asked.

Hendrix hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Rosie suddenly grinned. She then turned and ran downstairs, shouting as she went, "Grandma, I was right! They did have a fight!"
