The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 672

"Alright. Go ahead. I'll leave once you're asleep," Hendrix said, but Noelle didn't believe a word of it.

Still, she was too tired to argue with him at that point. So, she simply pulled the blanket over herself and turned her back to him.

She hadn't felt sleepy earlier. But after the commotion with Hendrix, exhaustion gradually crept in, and her thoughts began to scatter.

Noelle was right not to believe Hendrix's words. He had said he would leave once she fell asleep, yet when she woke up the next morning, she found him lying right beside her. Not only that, but his arm was tightly around her, too.

Furious, Noelle was about to push him off when Hendrix suddenly turned his head and coughed twice. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at her. "I think I caught your cold."

Noelle froze for a moment.

Hendrix grabbed her hand and placed it on his forehead. "Here. Feel it. Do I have a fever?"

Noelle took his temperature with a thermometer, and it was perfectly normal.

But Hendrix stubbornly insisted that he wasn't feeling well. He even claimed that Noelle had passed her cold to him and that he needed to stay and recover. The way he acted was a far cry from his usual dignified and aloof demeanor. If anything, he looked more like a shameless rogue.
