Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 71: Do You Think I’m Old?

"It’s probably Miranda Kensington up to some tricks. But surely, Rosalind Blanchett hinted at it behind the scenes."

"This matter isn’t urgent, as long as both parties remain silent, it will eventually fade away."

"No way!" Sterling Norwood suddenly spoke up.

Selena Kensington had just managed to placate him, so she wasn’t afraid of him anymore. "Then you go first, what did you do to Finn Norwood?"

"... He got a bit hurt," Sterling said with a slightly guilty tone.

Selena was quite skeptical about this ’bit hurt’ claim.

She’d have to find Sterling later for interrogation.

Selena continued speaking with Hugh Kensington, "This weekend, we’ll confront their family. Mason Kensington definitely won’t let this slide."

"They’ll surely use all sorts of tactics to smear and concoct lies, let them revel for a while first."

"When they think they’re about to succeed, we’ll make our move."

"What’s more painful than falling just after reaching the top?"

Selena chuckled lightly, a hint of madness flickering in her eyes.

Hugh was startled by the look on his sister’s face, "Sis, are you okay?"

Selena paused, slowly returning from her previous crazed state, "I’m fine, maybe just a bit tired lately."

Sterling’s eyes dimmed slightly, pondering something unknown.

After talking with Hugh for a while, Selena was forcibly taken away by Sterling to sleep.

After her shower, Selena saw the man open her bedroom door, holding a set of brand new clothes and pajamas.

Selena asked, "You’re not going back?"

Sterling remained silent; if his wife wasn’t going back, why should he?

That cold, lonely bed couldn’t compare to the soft warmth in his arms.

Selena had no objections; luckily, she had bought a large bed to sleep more comfortably.

Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how Sterling would fit.

Thinking of how his tall frame would have to curl up on a small bed, Selena couldn’t help but laugh.

When Sterling came out from his shower, Selena had already dried her hair and was lying on the bed scrolling through her phone.

Seeing Sterling come out, Selena slightly raised an eyebrow.

Watching him sit at the edge of her bed with his back turned, Selena climbed over.

She wrapped her arms around his neck from behind.

"Quick, confess! What did you do to Finn Norwood?"

Selena said, feigning a ’fierce’ demeanor.

After all, Finn was involved because of her, Selena felt she should care a bit.

Sterling paused, his tone enigmatic, "You really care about him?"

Seems like his actions today were too light.

He should’ve gone for his face. Let’s see if he’d still dare flaunt around his wife.

Selena squeezed him, pretending to be angry, "He’s your cousin! How could you, a grown man, be at odds with a kid..."

But Sterling completely missed her point, a hint of danger flashed in his eyes.

"So, you still think I’m old."

"..." Selena was speechless.

Why does he keep fussing over his age!!!

Selena thought, even if she actually didn’t mind his age.

But being told so often, she’s starting to feel like she actually does.

"Fine, don’t say anything!" Selena angrily shoved him a bit, turned around, and snuggled back into the bed.

Leaving only her back facing Sterling.

"..."

Sterling lifted the blanket and lay down.

From behind, he embraced Selena into his arms.

Selena hummed lightly a few times, but still allowed Sterling to hold her.

The two didn’t speak any further.

Just as Selena was about to drift off to sleep, Sterling’s deep voice sounded from behind.

"Veridia Hospital."
