Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 482 - 481: Humble Silas Sinclair

In the end, he could only think of the conversation they had after Sloane Hawthorne returned from Stonefall.

He had indeed gone too far that time.

With a little bit of alcohol and Sloane Hawthorne’s cold and ruthless words rejecting him, he was overwhelmed by the alcohol and misspoke.

Which is why she has been so cold to him recently.

Although Sloane Hawthorne has always been lukewarm to him, at least before she would give him some face, not like now, where she’s unwilling to engage with him at all.

Hearing what Silas Sinclair said, Sloane Hawthorne raised her head, looking at him with sharp eyes.

"I said, don’t bring up that matter again."

Her tone was icy, and even her gaze carried a bone-chilling coldness.

Seeing that Sloane Hawthorne was really angry, Silas Sinclair quickly surrendered, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. I won’t mention it."

His tone was as humble as it could be.

Silas Sinclair felt bitter, thinking that the road to pursue his wife was already difficult before.

And now, because of his misspoken words last time, this road became even more arduous and winding.

A prodigy like him actually hit a wall in this matter.

After that, Sloane Hawthorne kept a cold face and ignored Silas Sinclair.

And although Silas Sinclair wanted to talk to Sloane Hawthorne, he couldn’t do anything with her keeping a cold face.

With no other option, Silas Sinclair could only choose silence.

At this time, Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood came over.

Holding a few cans of soda in their hands.

"I told you so many times that little bit of meat wouldn’t be enough, but you just wouldn’t listen!"

"We’ll definitely have to go again later!"

Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood complained.

But no matter what she said, Sterling Norwood remained indifferent.

In the end, Selena Kensington was left helpless.

She chose to give up.

No matter what, Sterling Norwood would only get her that much, and no more.

When Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood returned after ordering, they found the atmosphere at the table a bit off.

Sloane Hawthorne had a cold face, and Silas Sinclair was also silent.

Selena cautiously asked, "Did you... have a fight?"

After thinking about it, that was the only word that seemed to fit the current situation.

But... Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair fighting?

No matter how she thought about it, it seemed strange.

Sloane Hawthorne adjusted the emotions in her eyes and looked up, "No, you’re overthinking it, sis."

Seeing there was no sadness or any other emotion in Sloane Hawthorne’s eyes, Selena Kensington felt relieved and nodded, "That’s good."

Then she sat down.

After passing out the sodas she was holding, Selena Kensington said to Silas Sinclair.

"If you really had a fight, cousin, you should let it go, Sloane is only nineteen."

This sentence darkened Silas Sinclair’s face, "Are you implying that I’m old?"

Selena Kensington looked over, puzzled, "At your age, you could be Sloane’s uncle."

"..."

Silas Sinclair’s heart felt like it was struck by an arrow.

"Pfft."

Sloane Hawthorne couldn’t help but laugh, and her face, which had been cold due to Silas Sinclair’s words, gradually softened.

Even Sterling Norwood beside them slightly curved his lips.

Seeing Sloane Hawthorne laughing, Silas Sinclair had no choice but to swallow his pride.

After all, if Sloane Hawthorne didn’t laugh, he was out of luck.

Later, when the stall owner brought over the skewers, Selena Kensington didn’t have any time to care about what had happened between the two.

She was focused on finishing the skewers.

While Sterling Norwood watched her carelessly sprinkling chili on the skewers, his brows knitted tightly.

Just as Selena Kensington was about to finish the skewers, Sterling Norwood reached out his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Sterling Norwood take the skewers away, Selena Kensington asked with some displeasure.

"You can’t eat too spicy."

Sterling Norwood said, then shook off some of the chili on the skewers, and used chopsticks to remove some more.

Once there wasn’t much chili left, he handed the skewer back to Selena Kensington.

"You can eat it now."

"..."

Selena Kensington felt a bit helpless but resigned to accept the skewer from Sterling Norwood’s hand.

Silas Sinclair, seeing Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood’s behavior, wanted to imitate them.

Then he looked at Sloane Hawthorne.

Sloane Hawthorne was just biting into a chicken wing, and when she saw Silas Sinclair’s gaze, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Took a fierce bite of the chicken wing.

"..."

Silas Sinclair felt a little intimidated, as if Sloane Hawthorne wasn’t biting the chicken wing but him instead.

Seeing the threatening and warning look in Sloane Hawthorne’s eyes, Silas Sinclair had no choice but to give up.

Selena Kensington ate her skewers, while Sterling Norwood, serving her from the side, hardly took any bites himself.

It wasn’t until she personally handed over a skewer that he began to eat.

After eating for a while, Selena Kensington looked at Silas Sinclair.

Seeing no other expression on his face, seeming accustomed to it.

Selena Kensington asked doubtfully, "Did cousin often come to places like these before?"

If not, Selena Kensington couldn’t figure out how someone of Silas Sinclair’s status could blend into such a small stall without any sense of discord.

Silas Sinclair shook his head slightly, "Not often."

Sterling Norwood explained beside her, "The Sinclair Family has a method of educating the younger generation, and when he was a teenager, old man Sinclair sent him to the grassroots level to train, so this is familiar to him."

Selena Kensington suddenly understood and nodded.

No wonder.

She had thought that Silas Sinclair was always that kind of unattainable flower on a high hill, only to be admired from afar and not desecrated.

Turns out he had these experiences too.

No wonder, without some skill or experience, how could he become the governor of The Empire?

She had underestimated it.

Meanwhile, Sloane Hawthorne was also momentarily stunned upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words.

Silas Sinclair had trained at the grassroots level before?

He wasn’t one of those arrogant and imperious aristocratic children?

For some reason, upon hearing about Silas Sinclair’s experiences, Sloane Hawthorne felt a moment of panic in her heart.

But she quickly calmed down.

Even if Silas Sinclair was different from ordinary aristocratic children, so what?

She and he could never be.

A wide, insurmountable gap lay between them.

Afterward, once the group was full, they prepared to part ways.

"Cousin, could you give Sloane a ride?"

Selena Kensington thought for a moment and said.

Silas Sinclair’s eyes lit up; his sister-in-law turned out to be a great helper!

He immediately let go of the matter about her calling him old. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Sloane Hawthorne paused, immediately refusing, "No need, sis, I’ll get a taxi."

Selena Kensington slightly frowned, "I’m not comfortable with you taking a taxi. Let cousin give you a ride."

Seeing Selena Kensington insisting, Sloane Hawthorne realized Selena was set on not letting her go back alone.

So she didn’t object anymore.

"Cousin, can you do me a favor?"

Seeing Sloane Hawthorne had no objections, Selena Kensington asked Silas Sinclair.

Luckily, Silas Sinclair’s route home was on the way to Sloane Hawthorne’s, so having him take her home gave Selena peace of mind.

Silas Sinclair immediately shook his head, "No trouble at all, sis, don’t worry, I’ll make sure she gets home safely!"
