All Chapters of The Sway and Slide of Love: Chapter 551 - Chapter 560

Noelle had no intention of explaining anything to Hendrix. She simply handed him the medicine and water. "Take it."Her expression was grim, her tone stiff and cold.Hendrix stared at her for a moment, then took the pill and water obediently.Noelle had poured the water without much thought, and just by touching the glass, she could tell it was somewhat cold.Hendrix obviously felt it, too, but he didn't say a word. He simply took the cup and swallowed the fever medicine."Lie down and sleep," Noelle ordered.But Hendrix kept his eyes on her. "Are you going to leave?"Noelle wasn't sure if he was fully conscious or still delirious. But when she heard his question, she laughed out of frustration."Your buddy, Erwin, has locked the door and taken away my phone. So, how am I supposed to leave? Jump off the balcony?"Her words came out in a barrage.Hendrix sat there, his brows furrowed as if he were struggling to process what she was saying. Finally, he seemed to reach a conclus

The room was suffocatingly silent.Noelle had no intention of speaking to Hendrix anymore. She sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the door, as if she were ready to bolt the moment it opened.Hendrix, on the other hand, desperately wanted to take a shower. But he was worried she would disappear while he was in the bathroom.Even though the door was still locked—and if she could leave, she probably would have by now—Hendrix couldn't bring himself to go. Fighting the high fever had left him utterly exhausted, but he refused to sleep. Instead, he sat on the bed, quietly watching Noelle."Are you going to marry Dylan?" he suddenly asked her.The question felt jarring in the silence. It reached Noelle's ears clearly, and Hendrix knew she had heard him. But she only paused slightly, not even turning her head, as if refusing to answer.Hendrix knew she had heard it, but she only paused for a brief moment.He couldn't help but smirk. "To be honest, Noelle, I'd rather you marry a compl

Even though Dylan sounded calm, Noelle could feel an underlying pressure in his words.She paused for a moment before responding, "It's not what you think—""I know," Dylan quickly said with a smile. "You don't need to be so nervous. Others might not understand the situation between you and Hendrix, but I do. He must have had someone trick you into going there, right? And no matter what, you'd never abandon Rosie. So, I believe you."He spoke patiently, sounding as if he was offering Noelle an explanation for herself. Yet, at the same time, it felt as if he was placing a heavy burden on her."You probably didn't sleep a wink last night, right? Go get some rest now," Dylan added as he stood up. "I'll head back to my room now."Noelle nodded.But as Dylan passed by her, he suddenly stopped and took a step closer to her.The sudden closeness startled Noelle, and she instinctively took a step back.Dylan couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. "Did I scare you?"His voice carri

Night fell.Rosie had been riding in the car all day, and her eyes were already drooping while taking a bath earlier. Now, as Noelle dried her hair, she kept nodding off, as if she could fall asleep at any moment.Noelle couldn't help but smile at the sight. "If you're this sleepy, why don't we skip the bedtime story tonight and just go to sleep?""No." Rosie's eyes snapped open as she insisted, "I want to hear a story.""Alright, then. What story do you want to hear today?"Rosie immediately got up and rummaged through her little bookshelf before picking out her favorite picture book, "My Little Monster".Noelle took the book and began reading.Rosie had heard this story many times before, but she still loved it. Every time Noelle read it to her, she would listen intently.When Noelle reached the last page, Rosie asked, "Mommy, will the little monster stay with Betty forever?""Yes.""Then, will you stay with me forever?"Noelle smiled and nodded. "Of course."Only then di

"Mr. Pritchett, it's been a while," said someone warmly from behind Hendrix, causing him to pause briefly.But he didn't turn around and instead continued speaking calmly with the person in front of him. He hadn't wanted to attend this party in the first place, but the host was a close acquaintance, so he had reluctantly shown up to make an appearance.What he hadn't expected was to run into the last person he wanted to see so soon after arriving. He knew Dylan and Noelle were together now. Just a few days ago, Erwin had sent him a photo of Dylan and Noelle holding hands.Hendrix had already made up his mind not to concern himself with their affairs anymore. But Erwin, as if having discovered a new toy, seemed to take pleasure in using this to provoke him every day.Hendrix didn't know if Erwin enjoyed seeing him suffer or if he was trying to prove how laughable Hendrix's past promises of unwavering devotion to Noelle had been. Whatever the reason, he had already blocked him.But
