Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 407: I Was Too Late

Selena Kensington saw Sterling Norwood starting to dodge the question again and angrily kicked him.

"I’m so mad!"

She said, getting up in a huff.

Sterling Norwood quickly pulled her into his arms and soothed her.

"Don’t be angry, just give me a little more time."

Sterling coaxed her.

Selena glared at him, "Fine, fine, I won’t ask anymore!"

Every time this topic was mentioned, Selena would end up being furious.

She didn’t want to pay attention to Sterling Norwood.

Sterling helplessly curled his lips, "I just don’t dare to take risks with you, trust me."

Selena snorted softly.

Then she lay in Sterling’s arms.

"You don’t dare to take risks with me, but I don’t want anything to happen to you either."

"You have to promise me, you won’t take risks yourself."

Selena threatened fiercely.

"If you don’t listen, I’ll... I’ll... I’ll run away from home!"

Selena thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a threat against Sterling.

Finally, she left him with that statement.

Hearing Selena’s words, Sterling couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

His big hand caressed Selena’s head, soothing her hair, "I’ll be obedient, don’t run away from home."

His wife, threatening him fiercely yet saying such childish and adorable words, truly made his heart flutter.

Joy spread from his heart, extending throughout his whole being.

Selena’s cheeks turned a little red, considering her age, it was childish to threaten to run away from home.

Sterling grinned, stood up first, "Let’s go down for breakfast."

He hadn’t walked far when Selena hugged him from behind.

Sterling stopped, no longer moving forward.

Waiting for Selena to make a move.

"I’m sorry, I came late."

Selena buried her face in his back, inhaling his scent, and muffled a sentence.

If she hadn’t asked Sterling today, Selena wouldn’t have known he had always been watching over her.

No wonder the Norwood Family’s attitude was so abnormal in the past...

Not only did they not mind her trying every way to escape, they even supported her afterwards...

But later, the Norwood Family seemed to have truly disappeared from the public eye.

Even the branch members rarely appeared in Aethelgard.

After hearing Sterling’s previous words, Selena suddenly had a suspicion.

Could it be that her escape in the past life aggravated Sterling’s condition, leaving him unable to control himself...

Thinking of this, the bitterness and sorrow in Selena’s eyes grew stronger.

Luckily, she didn’t miss him this time.

But she still came too late; he had protected her for twenty years.

Not disturbing her growth, only watching over her from the shadows.

If not for the scene she saw after the past life’s death, Selena might not have approached the Norwood Family even if she reincarnated.

And she wouldn’t have met Sterling.

Ultimately, she came late, leaving her lover lonely for so long.

But Selena also knew, Sterling didn’t need guilt and apologies.

Selena could only repay him with boundless love.

To repay his deep affection.

"Not too late."

Sterling replied to her.

For Sterling, having chosen this path, he wouldn’t regret it.

Selena rubbed against Sterling’s back, letting her tears dampen his clothes.

"Oops!"

She watched as a few spots on Sterling’s clothes turned darker.

Selena blinked, "I got your clothes dirty."

Hearing this, Sterling turned around helplessly.

Looking at Selena’s slightly reddened eyes, now carrying a hint of laughter, Sterling didn’t mind her deliberately smearing tears on him.

He bent his head and kissed the place at the corner of Selena’s eye where the tear hadn’t dried, then stretched out his tongue to lick the rest of the tears away.

Selena found the action not only ambiguous but also ticklishly tingling.

She instinctively wanted to dodge, but Sterling moved quicker.

He wrapped his arm around Selena’s waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Selena was fixed by his movement, unable to move.

Helplessly, she could only wait for Sterling to finish his ambiguous and tingling action.

Until she felt the tears at the corner of her eye dried up, Sterling ended his move.

Selena’s face was a little red, urging him, "Hurry and change clothes."

This time Sterling didn’t tease her again, smiling as he turned to walk to the closet.

Afterwards, Selena had breakfast with him, watched Sterling leave, then thought to turn back to the house.

As soon as she turned, her phone rang.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on the phone, Selena was a bit puzzled.

But when she noticed the location was from Sylva, her eyes flashed with surprise.

She hurriedly answered the call.

"Hello?"

Selena shouted, waiting for a few seconds before the person on the other end spoke.

"This is Cole Vaughn."

This was Selena’s first time hearing Cole Vaughn’s voice, as expected, very fitting to his temperament.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"...I’ve arrived in Aethelgard, regarding your previous proposal, does it still hold?"

Cole Vaughn said.

Selena was slightly surprised to hear Cole had reached Aethelgard, but then delighted at his words, "Of course, wait for me there, I’ll come pick you up now."

Fortunately, The Northwood Estate is not far from the main airport in Aethelgard, and Selena is going to Stardust Entertainment today, so she can take Cole Vaughn along.

"Okay."

After hanging up, Selena rushed to change clothes and quickly headed to the garage.

The butler called out behind her, "Madam, should I prepare lunch?"

Without turning her head, Selena waved, "No need, I’ll eat at the office."

Hearing this, the butler turned back to the main house.

Selena drove towards the airport.

The journey from the estate to the airport took only about half an hour, and Selena soon arrived outside the airport.

She called Cole Vaughn.

"Hello? Mr. Vaughn, I’m at the parking lot..."

Selena told Cole the location while looking around.

After a while, Selena spotted Cole Vaughn.

He was wearing a black trench coat, just as Selena had seen him in Sylva before.

Wind-blown hair partly covered his forehead, with a few strands falling across his eyes.

Still wearing those two black earrings.

His skin seemed sickly white, his posture tall and slender, the long black coat perfectly accentuating his silhouette.

As he approached, Selena rolled down the window to the lowest point.

"Here."

Cole looked up at her words, his indifferent gaze falling on Selena.

Selena wasn’t bothered by his gaze, letting him get in the car.

Once Cole was in the car, Selena started it up.

"The script for ’Butterfly Flame’ is at Stardust Entertainment; I’ll take you there first. After seeing the script, you can make your decision."

Selena said.

Cole’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

"You haven’t seen me act, why are you so sure I’m suitable?"

He asked.

Selena smiled.

"Do you know what I thought when I first saw you?"
