The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 526 Hendrix's eyes snapped open. The dream had terrified him, and a cold sweat had broken out of his forehead.

He closed his eyes for a moment, and once his mind cleared, he got out of bed. As soon as he stepped out of his room, he saw Rosie.

She had already changed into a dress, her hair tied into a small braid. She sat obediently on the living room couch, holding her water cup, waiting for Noelle.

When she heard the sound of footsteps, she immediately looked up. But the moment her eyes met Hendrix's, her expression changed. Then, she quickly turned her head away.
