Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 433: Ajing’s Possessiveness

Lip to lip, cheek to cheek.

Sterling Norwood heard Selena Kensington whisper against his lips, "Second New Year together, Mr. Norwood."

"Mm."

Sterling responded softly, then lowered his head slightly to kiss her.

Selena tilted her head back, responding to him.

*

The next day was New Year’s Day.

The first thing Selena did upon waking in Sterling’s arms was to pick up the phone placed on the bedside table.

She opened her phone and entered their group chat.

As soon as she entered, she saw several red envelopes.

She clicked one by one to grab them.

The result...

Five yuan, two yuan, and a ridiculous 0.5 yuan...

All of these were the lowest luck-based outcomes from the red envelopes.

"..."

[Selie Stays Slim]: ...

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: ...

[Hugh]: ...

[Harvey Vance]: ...

This group was created during the filming of "Immortal Path." Since it consisted of close friends, Selena hadn’t disbanded it even after the filming ended.

Seeing the string of ellipses, Selena fell silent herself.

Is this how she’s supposed to start the new year in self-isolation?

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: ... Don’t worry, I’ll send another one for you to try again.

Then, Hugh Kensington sent another red envelope.

To accommodate Selena, he even changed the luck-based red envelope to an evenly divided regular one. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This way, there was no distinction between lucky and unlucky draws.

Selena noticed this problem after claiming it.

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of her mouth.

[Selie Stays Slim]: You really go to lengths to save face for your sister.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Hahaha...

Hugh replied helplessly: I’m doing my best, sis.

Selena snorted and shared the glorious experience of winning second prize at the supermarket yesterday.

She found the plush toy placed in a corner of the room, took a picture, and sent it to the group.

[Selie Stays Slim]: ??? Sister, you’re amazing?!

[Hugh]: Sis, you’re awesome!!!

[Harvey Vance]: Director Kensington is fantastic! You’ll surely have great luck this year!

Their high praise eased Selena’s mood, which had been a bit sullen from the red envelope fiasco.

She thought to herself, her bad luck with draws must have been temporary.

At this moment, Hugh spoke up.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Brother-in-law is around, right?

Selena answered with some confusion: Yeah.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Oh, now I understand.

[Selie Stays Slim]: ???

Selena looked puzzled, wondering what this had to do with Sterling Norwood.

Hugh saw the three question marks she sent and got it.

He was speechless for a moment, thinking about how much her brother-in-law must like doing things and not telling her sister.

Considering his sister’s daft nature, it would be a miracle if she figured it out!

Thus, Hugh, the angelic helper and humble brother, stepped in.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: It was definitely brother-in-law who rigged it for you. Remember when you filmed the variety show, he switched the colors of the balls for you at the supermarket raffle.

"..."

Selena was silent.

Thinking carefully about that time, it seemed to indeed be the case.

Just as Selena was about to turn and see if Sterling was awake, she felt a gentle bite at her earlobe.

A warm, humid sensation spread from her ear.

Soon after, a slight pain followed, though not too painful.

She turned around to find Sterling already awake.

"When did you wake up?"

Selena asked him.

"While you were happily collecting red envelopes."

Sterling made a point of emphasizing the words ’happily’ and ’collecting red envelopes.’

It was obvious to Selena that his tone carried a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction.

She quickly smiled to appease him, "I noticed you weren’t awake..."

"I was awake the moment you picked up the phone, yet you didn’t notice me."

"It seems the content on your phone attracts you more than I do."

Sterling’s brows were calm, his face expressionless, but Selena could see the dissatisfaction and possessiveness in his expression.

Selena suddenly felt speechless.

"Why are you so jealous and possessive every day..."

She only joked to coax Sterling but didn’t expect him to readily admit, "Yes, so you shouldn’t focus on other things. Otherwise, I’ll be tempted to destroy them."

Selena froze, watching Sterling’s serious brows and eyes, and the fleeting coldness in his gaze. She knew he would indeed do what he said.

Indeed.

Sterling Norwood was not naturally gentle. On the contrary, he was fierce, indifferent, and fiercely possessive.

Only with Selena did he hide all his dark sides.

He showed only his gentle, accommodating side to Selena.

Just to avoid scaring her.

Selena couldn’t help but kiss his eyes. "It’s true, none of these things are as important as you."

Selena’s skill in winning over was powerful; although Sterling’s expression hardly changed, his brows softened.

After that, they got up, washed, and went downstairs.

*

As soon as they entered the dining room, they saw Saul Norwood and the twin brothers.

"Good morning, Grandpa Norwood, Silvester, Spencer."

Selena greeted them one by one.

"Selie and Sterling are awake..."

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

Afterwards, Selena and Sterling sat down.

The first meal of the New Year.

Saul brought up his eternal topic of urging marriage.

"Silvester, Spencer..."

"See, another year has passed. Any movements?"

Perhaps it was because he was relaxed, with fewer things to worry about daily.

Saul’s mindset instantly became much younger, and he loved keeping an eye on the lives of the younger generation.

"..."

Silvester Norwood and Spencer Norwood sighed silently.

Sure enough, this topic was unavoidable.

Seeing the young ones with their heads down, silently eating breakfast, Saul turned his attention to Sterling Norwood.

"Sterling, you should help your two brothers find someone."

Sterling raised an eyebrow at that. "Grandpa, I’m a married man."

So why would he look at other women?

Selena understood his words and chuckled.

Saul was stumped by his response, unable to say anything.

"Fine, fine, let the younger generation deal with it themselves!"

"The old man’s words have lost their value!"

Saul lamented with a hint of sadness, but if it weren’t for the slight smile on his face, Selena would have thought Saul was truly upset.

The old man’s acting was really spot-on.

"Don’t be sad, Grandpa, this can’t be rushed."

Silvester Norwood helplessly comforted the ’sad’ old man.

Spencer Norwood quickly followed his brother, saying, "Yes, Grandpa, it’s all about fate."

Saul glared at the brothers, "Just know how to placate me, the old man!"

Then Saul laughed to himself.

The breakfast passed in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
