Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 700: If the Children Misbehave, Grandfather Will Raise Them

Sterling Norwood was unusually silent for a while when he received Selena Kensington’s message.

So, when did his wife find out?

[J]: Did Silvester tell you?

Selena was eager for a response, so she quickly replied to Sterling.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Mm-hmm, stop being pretentious, he already told me, hurry and forward it to me.

"..."

Sterling felt a headache coming on as he looked at Selena’s message.

But he resignedly started going through what Silvester had forwarded to him earlier.

[J]: Share: Aethelgard’s Top Ten Famous Dating Spots!

[J]: Share: Shocking! Couples Must Visit These Places!

[Selie Stays Slim]: ...

Even though Selena had mentally prepared herself, she still fell into contemplation when she saw what Sterling forwarded.

Though Silvester did tell her he gave Sterling quite a few tips.

She never expected it relied on these.

Was this how Sterling won her over back then?

Was she really that easy to pursue?

For a moment, Selena was plunged into a crisis of self-doubt.

After a brief moment of speechlessness, Selena forwarded what Sterling had sent to Lark Mayfield.

[Lark Mayfield]: ...

Lark fell silent on seeing Selena’s forwarded messages.

A few seconds later, she replied.

[Lark Mayfield]: Are you messing with me?

Selena’s mouth twitched slightly; she could almost feel Lark looking speechlessly at the messages she just sent.

With a soft sigh, Selena started earnestly making things up.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Ahem... Don’t be put off by those names; they actually come in handy.

After Selena sent this message, Lark didn’t respond to her anymore.

Probably because she’d started exploring them.

Selena wasn’t worried about Lark backing out.

Though Lark was a bit proud, she held firmly to her principles.

The next day, Selena received Roxanne Sutton’s reply.

Sidney Dalton had agreed to her invitation.

The meeting was set for tomorrow.

Selena then informed Lark of the time.

Lark replied with an acknowledgment.

Selena contemplated that by tomorrow she’d get Sidney’s safe and reveal what he had done.

She felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and heaviness in her heart.

In silence, she went upstairs.

Counting the time, it had been over two years since her rebirth.

Finally, she could put an end to the past.

Catherine Blanchett’s situation was resolved, and the matters concerning Roxanne and Sidney were nearing their conclusion.

After that, nothing from the past life could affect her anymore.

Once she solved the issues with The Godsbane Organization,

she could truly live the life she desired.

Evening.

When Sterling opened the bedroom door, he saw Selena lying on the recliner.

Sterling instinctively lightened his footsteps.

He walked over.

Selena’s face was slightly turned toward the balcony, her eyes closed as if asleep.

In her dreams, Selena looked peaceful and serene, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

Sterling chuckled softly, was she having a good dream?

Sterling knelt beside her, raising his hand to gently smooth the wind-tousled hair from her face.

Just as Sterling’s fingertips touched her, Selena woke up.

But she didn’t startle awake; she slowly opened her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Sterling close to her, and her face broke into a smile.

She calmly asked, "When did you come?"

"Just now."

Sterling didn’t stop his hand movements until he had smoothed all the hair on Selena’s face back into place.

Selena sat up from the recliner.

Ever since her pregnancy, she spent a lot of her time sleeping.

Not because she was overworked, but even doing nothing, she felt drowsy.

Coincidentally, Sterling also preferred her resting well in the main residence, so he didn’t mind her increasingly homebody behavior; he even encouraged it.

Selena leaned closer, whispering, "I just dreamt they were calling me..."

She pointed to her belly.

Sterling heard this and his expression softened.

No wonder her lips curved up in her sleep; she was dreaming of the children.

"Were they well-behaved?"

Sterling asked, following Selena’s lead.

Selena smiled and nodded; even though the children weren’t born yet, she was already radiating maternal warmth.

Clearly, she was eagerly anticipating the twins.

"They’ve always been good... They haven’t been much trouble this whole time..."

Selena placed a hand on her belly, her eyes filled with tender affection.

All this time, Selena had been following Grandma Jennings’s prescriptions, and aside from the initial reaction, things had been calm since.

"If they’re not well-behaved, we’ll let Grandpa raise them after they’re born."

Sterling spoke offhandedly.

His words were filled with dissatisfaction toward the soon-to-be-born twins.

"..."

Selena gave him a speechless glare.

"What if the kids hear that!"

They hadn’t even been born, and their dad was already thinking of ways to discipline them.

"... They can’t hear."

Selena’s retort left Sterling slightly aggrieved.

But Selena paid no heed to Sterling’s grievance and continued on, "Not necessarily. I saw on the maternal programs that education should start from the womb."

"What if your words just gave them a shadow?"

Sterling narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since when did you watch maternal programs? Aren’t you always watching those cheesy dramas?"

"... Ahem."

Selena awkwardly turned away, her eyes evasive.

But after turning away, she realized she wasn’t wrong.

So, she turned back, her tone even more righteous than before.

"I wasn’t wrong! I don’t only watch those! Stop changing the subject!"

Sterling was amused by her righteous stance.

He chuckled, "Don’t worry."

"No Norwood child is ever foolish."

As Sterling spoke, confidence and charisma emanated from him.

This was something the Norwood family was proud of.

Though his words sounded arrogant, Selena had to admit there was truth in them.

Because in the Norwood family, even those from the branch family weren’t the type to blend into a crowd.

Each of them stood out, sought after by many.

Even Yvonne Norwood, who had been mentally unstable before.

Before being sent abroad for treatment, she was already a rising star as the piano prodigy in The Empire.
