Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 167: Affection Spreads

Does his sister still think he’s a kid?!

Selena Kensington paused her hand holding the phone, then sent a bunch of messages about safety awareness to him, reminding him to wear protection, maintain hygiene... and so on.

This left Hugh Kensington entirely at a loss.

He looked at the woman lying on the sofa drunk and sighed.

That woman is Felicity Dalton.

Earlier, while Hugh was at the Kensington Family residence, he received a call from Felicity Dalton.

He noticed she was somewhat drunk, and Felicity Dalton asked him to pick her up.

Hugh originally wanted to sever ties with her, so naturally, he didn’t want to go.

But Felicity threatened him in various ways on the phone, and since she was drunk and alone outside, Hugh admitted he was still worried, so he ended up going.

But who knew, Felicity would cling to him like that.

She behaved recklessly, completely unlike her usual aloof self.

Silly and adorable, showing a rare girlish demeanor.

"I don’t care! You are not allowed to leave me!"

"Where are you going, Hugh..."

"...Bad Hugh!"

"...I want to spend New Year with Hugh."

Hearing these words, Hugh found himself a bit restless inside.

Seeing more and more onlookers around, Hugh had no choice but to take Felicity back to the Kensington Family residence.

Fortunately, Felicity was aware she’s a public figure and came out well-concealed this time.

Plus, with a lot of couples around during their journey, Hugh and Felicity did not attract much attention.

Unfortunately, once they arrived at the Kensington Family residence, Felicity still wasn’t behaving, which led to the noises Selena heard over the phone just now.

Meanwhile, after sighing over how she’d sooner or later have a sister-in-law, Selena went to find Sterling Norwood to spend New Year’s together.

The two of them waited on the bedroom balcony for the midnight fireworks spectacle.

Selena tucked herself in Sterling’s embrace, playing with her phone.

Sterling quietly watched her.

His gaze was tender and gentle.

In the quiet space, emotions flowed.

"..."

Suddenly, Sterling felt the blood in his body begin to surge again.

Rushing through his veins, as if trying to awaken his primal instincts once more.

Sterling’s eyes were in turmoil, he restrained the sudden surge of desire, not allowing Selena to notice.

But this time the assault was clearly fierce; Sterling’s sapphire eyes narrowed, gradually tinged with crimson...

Becoming more frequent...

"...Ugh"

He groaned softly.

This immediately drew Selena’s attention.

"What’s wrong?"

Selena asked worriedly.

Sterling didn’t respond to her, seemingly struggling to suppress something.

He abruptly got up, placed Selena on a rocking chair, and turned to leave the bedroom as if fleeing.

Leave, cannot harm her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

To the study... there lies the suppressants.

Sterling arduously maintained the last shred of his rationality.

"Sterling!"

Selena called to his back, quickly dropping her phone to chase after him.

’Bang!!’

The study door was slammed shut by Sterling.

Since it was already night, the servants were all in the backyard of the main house, and Saul Norwood lived in the left attic, so now, only Selena and Sterling were present.

Selena tried to open the study door but found it was locked from the inside.

She kept knocking on the door.

"Sterling, open the door!"

"...Sterling, let me see, okay?"

Selena pleaded from outside the door.

But the study door remained unopened.

The study was pitch dark.

Sterling did not turn on the light, yet with his capability, he could see everything clearly even in the darkness.

His sapphire eyes had contracted into beast-like vertical pupils, with the crimson seeping into the blue.

Enchanting yet eerie.
