The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 783

When Hendrix left earlier, Irene had been asleep inside the house.

But now, it was like she suddenly remembered something. Sitting there with a flashlight in hand, she seemed to be waiting for someone.

But who could she possibly be waiting for? After all, the person she most wanted to see would never come back.

After pressing his lips together, Hendrix finally walked outside.

Irene heard his footsteps but didn't turn around. She just kept sitting there, stubborn.

"Can you tell me about Nelly?" Hendrix asked.

Irene looked up at him, surprised.

Hendrix's expression was awkward. This wasn't something he usually did. He hadn't even managed to get along with his own mother, Beatrice.

Irene was practically a stranger to him. Well, not completely a stranger. After all, he had her to thank for the wound on his hand.

If he had a choice, Hendrix wouldn't have wanted anything to do with her. But he knew Noelle cared about Irene.

Even without a blood connection, Irene's care for Noelle these past months had been real. The motherly love she gave her had been real, too.
