Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 326: Ayan

"OK!"

Selena Kensington responded and went out.

Hughes watched Selena leave and said to Sterling Norwood, "Cousin, you’re watching your wife too closely!"

Sterling gave him a glance, "You don’t have a wife. What do you know?"

"???"

That was a bit harsh!!!

He always thought his cousin was like a machine, without emotions for the opposite sex or humanity.

But now that he has someone, his humanity is fading away!

Selena walked out of the room, and the bodyguard at the door saw her and was slightly taken aback, "Madam, where are you going?"

The question was asked in English.

"Going to the restroom, just stay here."

"...Yes, madam, please be careful."

Since her status was distinguished, the bodyguard still reminded her out of concern.

If something happened to Selena here, who knows how the one inside would react...

Selena nodded and headed to the restroom.

Even the restrooms on the Santa Maria were lavishly decorated.

Next to the mirror, there were two miniature angel statues.

The surface of the water outlet was also intricately carved.

Selena took out lipstick from her bag and touched up her makeup in front of the mirror.

After finishing, she gently pressed her lips.

Having come straight from the plane without a chance to freshen up, her lips had become a bit dry.

Once she finished touching up, Selena walked out of the restroom.

She paused just as she reached the door.

There was a man standing in the hallway outside the restroom.

He wore a crescent-shaped black mask adorned with thorny vines and blooming flowers.

He stood motionless, his gaze deep and fixed on Selena.

Those dark eyes seemed like black holes, unfathomable.

She looked at Alessio, and a thought suddenly arose in her mind.

But she quickly dismissed it.

How could it be possible?

How could this man before her possibly be Samuel Dalton?

How could Samuel Dalton become part of the Colombo Family...

Suddenly, Selena remembered the last rumor about Samuel from her past life.

Dying in a struggle among factions in a foreign land...

Her heart suddenly seized with a jolt.

Isle of Cyrin, Colombo Family, new heir, infiltration, The Gray King...

These words connected with the end of Samuel’s past life.

She inadvertently spoke out, "Ayan?"

Her words reached Samuel’s ears, and his gaze momentarily flickered.

It had been so long since he had heard someone softly call him ’Ayan’.

She had recognized him.

The realization filled Samuel with profound joy.

A joy enveloped him, soothing his recently agitated and suppressed feelings like a spring breeze. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"..."

Samuel said nothing; seeing his lack of denial, Selena grew bolder.

She walked over.

Standing in front of him.

He still said nothing, silently staring at Selena.

His slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed his current inner tension.

He wanted very much to step forward and embrace her, to tell her that he was indeed Ayan.

But he couldn’t; he couldn’t reveal the feelings he kept hidden deep inside, or all would be lost.

The hard-won relationship between them would again become fragmented.

Selena looked at him, raised her hand, and touched the mask on his face.

He didn’t stop her, so Selena slowly unveiled the mask from his face.

Until the mask was completely removed.

The familiar face appeared before her.

But compared to half a year ago, he had shed some of his earlier awkwardness, gaining a mature aura.

His features were more chiseled, his gaze sharper.

Yet in his eyes as they looked at her, a hint of gentleness rippled.

"...Sister."

Samuel spoke, and only then did he realize his throat was parched.
