Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 21: The Gummy Fairy

He looked like he’d just seen a ghost, staring at Selena Kensington in disbelief.

Selena Kensington felt helpless and could only give Clement Luther some time to process.

"Sis, you really are an Immortal," Clement Luther finally forced out.

Indeed, like an Immortal, she snagged the person all those Aethelgard socialites were desperately trying to win over. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

If this gets out, it would surely drive those young ladies mad.

"Now, the Blanchett Family’s plan is definitely going to fail," Clement Luther said gleefully.

Selena Kensington shrugged.

Later, for some unknown reason, a rumor suddenly started circulating in the campus about Finn Norwood boldly pursuing a third-year senior.

Most of the people who were present at that time were freshmen, so they didn’t know Selena Kensington.

But some people recognized Clement Luther, and seeing Selena Kensington with him, they assumed she was a third-year as well.

Finn Norwood heard this rumor and couldn’t sit still.

He quickly found the person spreading the rumor, using all sorts of threats and bribes, and finally directly announced in public that Selena Kensington was his boss.

Well, now every freshman knows the name of the third-year senior: Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington was so angry she almost went to beat up Finn Norwood.

For the next few days, Selena Kensington holed up in the classroom with Heath Hayes to study, not daring to go anywhere.

Even on the weekends, since Sterling Norwood was on a business trip elsewhere, she didn’t return to Mount Serpentis.

At long last, she managed to endure until the military training ended, and the rumor finally faded away.

Only then did Selena Kensington breathe a sigh of relief.

She drove to pick up Hugh Kensington.

After the military training ended, freshmen can choose to live in the dorms or not, and naturally, Hugh Kensington was worried about Selena Kensington living alone.

He naturally chose not to live on campus.

Hugh Kensington was packing in the dorm, and Samuel Dalton was also packing.

Hugh Kensington noticed a red lacquered tin box on Samuel Dalton’s desk.

Samuel Dalton was handling it extremely carefully, as if afraid of damaging it.

Hugh Kensington joked, "Is there some treasure in here that you’re being so careful with?"

Samuel Dalton didn’t refute him, a small smile formed at the corner of his mouth, and then Hugh Kensington watched as he opened the box, seemingly treasuring it.

Hugh Kensington became a little curious. His roommate seemed gentle and harmless on the surface, but actually had quite a reserved personality.

At least Hugh Kensington hadn’t seen him sincerely smile during these days.

But just now... he actually smiled.

A truly genuine and pure smile, even though the smile wasn’t large, Samuel Dalton indeed smiled.

Curious, Hugh Kensington moved over for a closer look, and his expression suddenly became strange.

The box was empty except for three candy wrappers.

The candy wrapper colors were nice, not too bright nor dull, and the pictures printed on them had a graceful and elegant vibe.

Samuel Dalton’s eyes darkened; he didn’t like others seeing these.

But the next second, he heard Hugh Kensington exclaim, and instinctively turned to see Hugh Kensington deep in thought.

"Why do these candy wrappers look familiar? Samuel, where did you buy them?" asked Hugh Kensington.

Samuel Dalton was taken aback, suddenly seeming to realize something and grabbed Hugh Kensington’s wrist tightly.

"You recognize these candies?!"

Samuel Dalton suddenly became eager and hopeful, leaving Hugh Kensington stunned.

He scratched his head, "Seems like they were made at a local workshop at my grandmother’s place..."

"Ah, I remember now!" Hugh Kensington suddenly said.

"They really were produced by that workshop at my grandmother’s, but the workshop was small, run by neighbors together, and they disbanded when I was ten-years-old, each going their own way, so they haven’t been produced since."

"I remember this candy being sweet but not cloying, and the packaging was pretty. When I was ten, my sister went back home and promised to bring me three pieces, but she ate them on the way and didn’t bring any back! I was mad at her and didn’t talk to her for ages!"

Hugh Kensington said angrily, naturally not noticing Samuel Dalton’s deep gaze.

Ten years old, three candies...

No wonder he couldn’t find them later no matter how hard he tried.

Samuel Dalton looked at the three candy wrappers in the tin box, a smile slowly forming on his lips.

Finally found you.

The Gummy Fairy.
