Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 26: I’ll Rig It for You

Beneath this tweet, there were countless fans replying with a series of "hahahahaha."

"..." Selena Kensington looked at this message, feeling a bit unsteady. She gritted her teeth and shot a glare at the gloating Hugh Kensington. She gave him a fierce look.

Then, feeling aggrieved, she threw herself into Sterling Norwood’s arms, snuggling and nuzzling against him.

"Those raffles never rig in my favor! I absolutely hate it!" Her words carried a hint of complaint mixed with a touch of pouting.

The dark thought in Sterling Norwood’s heart, born from being momentarily ignored by Selena, immediately vanished.

He wrapped his arms around Selena’s waist and lifted her up a bit, allowing her to snuggle more comfortably.

He gently ruffled her soft, black hair, "It’s alright, I’ll rig it for you."

Selena’s face turned slightly red from this sudden, flirty remark.

Indeed, wasn’t it Sterling who rigged it for her?

Otherwise, how would she end up as Mrs. Norwood? In Aethelgard, those high-born heiresses and even noble ladies abroad all want to marry Sterling Norwood.

Thinking of this, all her previous dissatisfaction at not winning those raffles dissipated considerably.

How could those things possibly be more important than Sterling Norwood!

Yet, Selena was still a bit puzzled, such as why Sterling Norwood chose her.

Furthermore, at their first meeting, he didn’t seem unfamiliar, as if they’d known each other for a long time.

But Selena was quite certain she had never met Sterling Norwood before.

And in her previous life, after she fell off a cliff and survived, the Norwood Family no longer involved themselves with her.

So how did Sterling later find out about her situation? And in such a desolate, wasted state, as if he’d been watching her for a long time...

Thinking of this possibility, Selena was taken aback.

Could it be that Sterling Norwood has secretly been watching over her all along...

What did she do to deserve this?

"Get ready, I’m taking you out tonight," Sterling Norwood said.

Selena was a bit curious, knowing that for the past decade, Sterling had always remained secluded at the top of Mount Serpentis.

Even if he occasionally came out for a walk, he was always accompanied by a large entourage from the Norwood Family.

He seemed more like a behind-the-scenes decision-maker. If it weren’t for Selena, Sterling might have never appeared in the bustling city center in this life.

"Where to?" Selena’s eyes held a mix of curiosity and surprise.

Sterling pinched her soft, fair cheek, not saying a word.

Selena found it even stranger that Sterling knew how to give her surprises now.

How much has he improved from just one outing?

Hugh felt that his sister had always been pampered by the family, and despite their parents passing away, she was still inherently someone who wouldn’t suffer any loss.

Additionally, their uncle’s family wanted to maintain a good public image, so they never dared to openly wrong Selena. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Now with Sterling adoring his wife, Hugh couldn’t fathom how pampered Selena would become.

Unable to tolerate their lovey-dovey display any longer, Hugh went into his room to tidy up.

Perhaps Sterling’s words gave Selena something to look forward to, so she didn’t bother with Sterling and went straight to her room to choose clothes and take a shower.

Seeing Selena’s elated demeanor, Sterling couldn’t help but relax his expression, a gentle smile forming at the corners of his lips.

Once Selena entered her room, Sterling couldn’t just do nothing. He pulled out his phone and began to make arrangements in advance.

While showering, Selena looked at the now more prominent birthmark on her lower back.

She frowned slightly. A dark red birthmark, much like a cinnabar mole.

This had been on Selena since birth. At that time, her mother’s face changed dramatically upon seeing it and even severed ties with the maternal family for a time.

Over the years, as she grew older, the birthmark had faded significantly. But now, unexpectedly, it was becoming noticeable again...

After showering, Selena looked at the wardrobe filled with an array of clothes and dresses, faced with a dilemma.

What to wear for a first date?

Dress after dress was thrown onto the bed by Selena in frustration.

Looking at those dresses, Selena helplessly pulled out WeChat and found the group chat "Reluctant Low-Key Trio."

[Selie Stays Slim]: What should I wear for a first date?

[Microheart Stays Frugal]: .....

[Clement Luther Is A Hunk]: ...

[Microheart Stays Frugal]: Girl, you’re having an affair?

[Clement Luther Is A Hunk]: Sis, that’s quite bold of you.

[Selie Stays Slim]: ? What are you thinking? I’m going on a date with my husband!
