The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 721

"All I can say is that you think that way because you've never truly understood him."

Hendrix's words left Noelle momentarily speechless.

After a pause, she finally responded, "But if it weren't for me, you and Dylan wouldn't have had any connection at all. And you wouldn't have almost lost your life because of him."

"Hmm, that's true," Hendrix admitted with a nod. But then, he added, "But do you really think I'm the kind of person who's afraid of things like that?"

As he spoke, he even chuckled. "If that's what you think, then you're seriously underestimating your baby, aren't you?"

Noelle had been frowning at him, but when he used that term of endearment, she froze. Then, she swatted his hand away and turned to look out the window.

Hendrix watched her and suddenly laughed. "What's there to be shy about?"

"Who said I'm shy?" Noelle shot back immediately, her brows furrowing even deeper.

Instead of answering, Hendrix reached out and pinched the tip of her ear. "Then, why are your ears so red?"

"I'm just hot!" Noelle retorted, pulling his hand away.

Just then, the flight attendant walked past. Hearing Noelle's comment, she stopped and asked cautiously, "Ma'am, is the air conditioning making you uncomfortable?"

Noelle had only been making an excuse and hadn't expected it to draw attention. But now, feeling cornered, she nodded. "Yes, it's a little warm."
