The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 578

After Dylan finished speaking, he simply stood there, quietly watching Noelle.

Noelle didn't respond, but her hands noticeably clenched.

Noticing this, Dylan stared at her balled fists for a while before reaching out and gently taking them in his hand.

Noelle, as if caught doing something wrong, immediately pushed Dylan away.

Her movement was so sudden and forceful that Dylan didn't have time to react. Thus, he ended up slamming his head into the nearby cabinet with a loud thud.

Noelle froze for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to check on him. "Are you okay? I'm sorry."

"I'm fine." Dylan waved it off with a smile. "Don't worry. It doesn't hurt."
