Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 493: Cooking Together

Selena Kensington was silent for a moment.

Sterling Norwood’s grandmother, who was the late wife of Mr. Norwood, is also the sister of Mr. Shen.

To avoid this topic, Selena Kensington brought up another one.

"Grandpa, can you teach me?"

She blinked and said.

"Sure, go wash your hands and Grandpa will teach you."

Mr. Norwood responded readily.

Upon hearing Mr. Norwood agree, Selena Kensington went to the sink to wash her hands.

Sterling Norwood leaned in from behind, bending down to rest his chin on her shoulder.

"Grandpa teaches you, what about me?"

The tone was lazy and relaxed.

Selena Kensington was still washing her hands and glanced at him slightly after hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, "Don’t play around, go make me sweet and sour fish."

Selena Kensington liked to eat sweet and sour fish but was afraid of mixing up sugar and salt like last time.

She had no choice but to let Sterling Norwood handle it.

Sterling Norwood crouched slightly for a moment, then reached out to wrap his arms around Selena Kensington’s waist.

"...Little heartless one."

Selena Kensington snorted lightly a few times and pushed Sterling Norwood away with her arm.

Sterling Norwood, helpless, had no choice but to go cook for Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington finished washing her hands and returned to Mr. Norwood’s side.

"Grandpa, what kind of filling are we making?"

"Whatever you like."

Then, Mr. Norwood pointed to the various fillings in front and said to Selena Kensington, "This is cabbage and pork, this is three flavors, shrimp filling..."

Selena Kensington nodded beside him.

"Okay, let’s start making dumplings then."

Mr. Norwood said this, then picked up a dumpling skin.

Selena Kensington followed his lead and picked up a dumpling skin.

Actually, there were ready-made dumpling-making tools in the kitchen, very convenient and quick.

But Selena Kensington wanted to make them by hand, especially since it was rare for Mr. Norwood to cook, so neither of them used the tools.

Instead, they were making them by hand.

"Place a little filling in the center of the dumpling skin."

Selena Kensington followed along with his instructions.

Then, Mr. Norwood brought some over so that Selena Kensington could see clearly.

"Fold the dumpling skin in half, pinch the middle to stick it together."

"Then pinch one end of the dumpling skin, leaving a little more underneath than on top."

"Then pinch from one end to the middle, and pinch the other half from the middle outward, be careful not to use too much force."

Mr. Norwood carefully guided Selena Kensington.

He spoke as he demonstrated with his hands.

After completing each step, he paused to wait for Selena Kensington to do the same.

Selena Kensington followed along with Mr. Norwood’s instructions in a somewhat clumsy manner. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She was focused and serious as she looked at the dumpling skin in her hand.

Finally, under Mr. Norwood’s guidance, Selena Kensington successfully made her first dumpling.

She proudly held up the dumpling she had made.

Although the folds on top were a bit messy and the sizes varied, overall, it held together without falling apart.

"Grandpa, I made one!"

She joyfully shared with Mr. Norwood.

Mr. Norwood looked at her warmly, "Very good."

Then, Selena Kensington excitedly said, "I’m going to show Sterling."

Then she took the dumpling she made and went to find Sterling Norwood, who was busy making sweet and sour fish.

"Sterling, look, I made this!"

She spoke to Sterling Norwood as if seeking praise and credit.

Sterling Norwood put down his work, turned around, "It looks great."

Receiving Sterling Norwood’s compliment, Selena Kensington felt delighted inside.

"I’ll go make more."

After saying this, she returned to the table.

She and Mr. Norwood started making dumplings again.

Selena Kensington and Mr. Norwood continued making dumplings, while Sterling Norwood served as the head chef, making the main dishes.

After they finished making the dumplings and cooked them, Selena Kensington asked Mr. Norwood to go out and sit down to rest.

She then joined Sterling Norwood, helping him out.

Mr. Norwood sat on the sofa outside, watching the busy couple in the kitchen.

A hint of gratification flashed in his eyes.

He smiled.

Indeed, a home needs a lady to be lively.

Mr. Norwood wasn’t sure what he thought of, but he sighed slightly.

After busying in the kitchen for over an hour, Selena Kensington began to bring out the dishes they had prepared.

"Grandpa, you’ve been waiting long, we can eat soon."

"Okay."

Mr. Norwood responded to her with a smile.

After setting up the dishes, Selena Kensington received a call from Hugh Kensington.

She walked out of the kitchen.

"Hello?"

"Sis, Quinn and I have arrived at the airport."

Hugh Kensington’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

Selena Kensington glanced out the window at the weather, which had indeed darkened.

"Got it. You must prioritize safety, and if there’s anything you can’t solve, listen to your brother-in-law and seek help from the Hill Family."

Selena Kensington worriedly reminded him again.

Hugh Kensington’s voice sounded slightly helpless, "Got it, Sis, you’re starting to sound like a mom."

"Practicing courage beyond the screen, huh?! Watch how I handle you when you return!"

Selena Kensington laughed with amusement at Hugh Kensington’s words.

"Alright, Sis, I have to go."

Hugh Kensington chuckled on the other end, then restrained his laughter as he spoke to Selena Kensington.

"Okay, go ahead."

After saying this to Hugh Kensington, Selena Kensington hung up the phone.

She turned and walked into the room.

In the dining room, Sterling Norwood brought out the last dish.

Mr. Norwood was already seated at the head of the table.

"Selie, come and try the dumplings you made."

Mr. Norwood beckoned Selena Kensington to come over.

Selena Kensington’s lips turned up in a smile, "I’m coming."

Selena Kensington walked over, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table.

She generously complimented Sterling Norwood, "Sterling, you’re amazing."

Sterling Norwood heard Selena Kensington’s praise and smiled.

Then, he scooped out the dumplings and placed them in Selena Kensington’s bowl.

"These ones... you can tell I made them."

Selena Kensington looked at the dumplings in the bowl; some were very neatly pinched, while others were varying sizes.

Clearly, she had pinched them.

"Ha-ha-ha... all delicious!"

Mr. Norwood laughed heartily.

A New Year’s Eve dinner was enjoyed in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Selena Kensington accompanied Mr. Norwood in watching the New Year’s Eve gala.

Sterling Norwood, uninterested, initially planned to go to the study to handle matters but was pulled to sit down and watch with them by Selena Kensington.

Sterling Norwood, helpless, could only sit with them on the sofa to watch the New Year’s Eve gala.

"Hmm? Aethelgard Television?"

Selena Kensington looked at the program airing on TV.

It happened to be Aethelgard Television’s New Year’s Eve gala.

"What’s up?"

Mr. Norwood noticed Selena Kensington’s large reaction and asked.

Selena Kensington chuckled and replied, "Nothing, just suddenly remembered I have a friend who happens to perform on this TV channel."

"Oh? That’s great, let’s watch it together then."

Afterwards, Selena Kensington looked up the program schedule for Aethelgard Television’s New Year’s Eve gala.

Sloane Hawthorne was performing with Harvey Vance, the two were going to sing a duet.
