Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 159: Mortimer Dalton

"Nice to meet you for the first time, I’m Mortimer Dalton."

A gentle smile suddenly blossomed on his sickly face.

His gaze clung to her, making Selena Kensington feel very uncomfortable.

But the person in front of her was Mortimer Dalton, the eldest son of the Dalton Family...

"I don’t know you, and I’ve never offended you, this behavior of yours..."

Selena glanced at the ropes bound to her, slightly raising her eyebrows.

Mortimer Dalton pushed the wheelchair forward, coming in front of Selena.

He reached out, wanting to touch Selena’s face, but Selena resisted, retreating.

He sighed with disappointment, "I just hope you can be a bit obedient."

"You really resemble her."

As he spoke, he seemed to be lost in some kind of memory.

"Who?"

Selena frowned, from the beginning, this man was saying things she couldn’t understand, it truly made Selena agitated.

She hated this kind of vague speech.

"Your mother, Julian Jennings."

As Mortimer said this, a genuine gentle smile appeared on his face.

Selena was stunned, "You know my mother?"

Selena hadn’t expected that Mortimer Dalton was acquaintance with her mother, but why kidnap her...

Selena stayed calm, yet behind her back she was quietly rubbing the ropes on her hands.

Although Mortimer Dalton had tied her up, he didn’t want the ropes to leave marks on her, and he trusted his territory, so the ropes on Selena were actually a bit loose.

"We not only knew each other, your mother was my sun, my moon, my salvation..."

As Mortimer said these words, he seemed to have fallen into some memory, with a mix of madness and devotion.

Selena’s hand didn’t stop its actions, but she couldn’t help listening to Mortimer’s memories.

Mortimer Dalton was the eldest son of the Dalton Family, controlled by Mr. Dalton from birth.

Everything had to be done according to Mr. Dalton’s instructions.

In such a long-term oppressive environment, Mortimer developed a dark and cold personality.

The appearance of Julian Jennings redeemed him.

He pursued her with passionate fervor, but naturally, under Mr. Dalton’s strict control, Mortimer and Julian Jennings couldn’t be together, in Mr. Dalton’s mind, his son’s fiancée was already chosen.

To make Mortimer give up, Mr. Dalton even intentionally took Mortimer to Julian Jennings and Connor Kensington’s wedding.

Mortimer was only seventeen at the time.

He was so affected by that scene that he seemed to change completely.

He became more silent, withdrawn, and gloomy, no longer resisting Mr. Dalton’s arrangements.

Yet he refused to marry the fiancée assigned to him by Mr. Dalton, as if he were anticipating something.

The final straw that broke Mortimer was the car accident involving the Kensington couple ten years ago.

The news of Julian Jennings’ passing drove Mortimer mad, he was locked up in a sanatorium by Mr. Dalton for three years before being brought back to the Dalton Family.

But by then, Mortimer had become what he is now.

And it seemed Mr. Dalton had also given up on him, letting him fend for himself.

Selena couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry after hearing it all.

She could see that Mortimer really loved her mother.

Unfortunately, their identities were not right, nor was the timing.

Back then, Julian Jennings was already a mega-star all over the country, deeply in love with Connor Kensington.

How could she possibly be with Mortimer?

What he lingered on and reminisced about was merely that hint of redemption and sunshine.

It was exactly this redemption and sunshine that turned him into this.

Neither human nor ghost.

Although Selena felt pity for him, she was not willing to let Mortimer Dalton consider her as her mother.

"Mr. Dalton, if you let me go now, we can write off this incident, I can pretend today never happened."

Selena sighed and said.
