The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 738

"The fish has taken the bait." When Erwin's messages came through, Hendrix was at Rosie's kindergarten.

Today was the kindergarten's open day. In the past, it was always Noelle who attended events like this. Now, as the only man among a sea of mothers, Hendrix immediately attracted countless curious glances. But he acted as though he didn't notice at all, sitting there with a blank expression on his face.

At the end of the open day, the children lined up in front of their parents to sing songs and perform finger dances. Rosie sat in front of Hendrix, her face just as serious and focused as ever.

Hendrix suspected that she simply didn't want to perform for him. But fortunately, the performance went smoothly. When it ended, the other children reached out to hug their parents. After a moment of hesitation, Rosie gently took Hendrix's hand.

Hendrix glanced at her movement, then slowly opened his palm, enveloping her little hand in his.

After the event, Hendrix took Rosie home.

Erwin had been messaging him nonstop, but Hendrix hadn't had time to reply.

He turned to Rosie and said, "I'll be busy for the next two days, so is it okay if I take you to your grandma's for now? I'll come pick you up in two days."

Rosie looked up at him.

Hendrix had expected her to remain indifferent. After all, no matter what arrangements Hendrix made during the past few days, Rosie had never raised any objections.

But this time, after he finished speaking, Rosie stared at him for a long while. Then, she asked, "Two days means exactly two days, right?"

It took Hendrix a moment to realize that she seemed reluctant to part with him.

"Yes, just two days," Hendrix replied firmly.

Only then did Rosie seem to relax, slowly averting her gaze.
