Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss
Chapter 643: His Wife’s Wicked Sense of Humor...
After finding out the truth, Annelise Mayfield naturally directed her anger towards Sidney Dalton and Catherine Blanchett.
As a result, she naturally wouldn’t go to Radiance.
Due to Annelise Mayfield’s previous misunderstanding of Selena Kensington, she would naturally feel guilty towards her.
Moreover, if she really wanted to become an actor, Stardust was indeed the most suitable place for her at the moment.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Let her be.
If Annelise Mayfield really wanted to venture into the entertainment industry, Selena Kensington wouldn’t interfere.
But if she had any ill intentions, she wouldn’t stand idly by.
Fortunately, Selena Kensington believed in her judgment.
Annelise Mayfield was pure-hearted and a good girl.
Seeing Selena Kensington’s stance, Hugh Kensington didn’t ask further.
After finishing the chat, Sterling Norwood walked over.
Seeing Selena Kensington still holding her phone, he remembered the earlier conversation.
He raised his brows slightly, "Still chatting?"
He asked in a seemingly puzzled tone.
Selena Kensington glanced at him and placed the phone on the bedside table.
"Talking about Annelise Mayfield’s situation."
As soon as Selena Kensington finished speaking, Sterling Norwood had already lay down beside her.
He reached out his arms and drew Selena Kensington into his embrace.
However, his movements were very careful, constantly mindful of Selena Kensington’s belly.
Seeing Sterling Norwood’s cautious manner, Selena Kensington found it amusing, "My belly isn’t even showing yet, and you’re being so careful. I wonder what you’ll be like when I get bigger..."
Sterling Norwood said nothing, gently kissed her forehead.
Only then did he slowly speak, "It’s all the same."
Selena Kensington chuckled and nestled her head against Sterling Norwood’s chest.
Then she glanced up towards Sterling Norwood’s neck.
His neck was exposed to the air, the pale skin exuding a slight chill.
Faintly visible were the fine veins inside.
Selena Kensington leaned over.
Sterling Norwood noticed Selena Kensington’s action, a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.
Yet he still allowed Selena Kensington’s movements.
Selena Kensington leaned over and sniffed at his neck, then pulled back a bit, looking up at Sterling Norwood.
"How about I take a bite and see?"
As she said this, her tongue slightly licked the corner of her lips.
Her eyes sparkled with mischievous intent.
"..."
Sterling Norwood’s gaze halted.
His wife’s penchant for mischief was indeed something...
Sterling Norwood was somewhat exasperated.
"Do you think you’re really a vampire?"
After a moment, Sterling Norwood spoke with helplessness.
Selena Kensington pouted with boredom, "Why didn’t you think like this when you were sucking my blood during the day."
Actually, Selena Kensington didn’t really want to experience the feeling of being a vampire.
She just suddenly thought of teasing Sterling Norwood.
She guessed this was also one of her mischievous quirks.
Upon hearing Selena Kensington mention the events of the daytime, Sterling Norwood felt even more at a loss.
He subtly raised his chin, exposing more of his neck to Selena Kensington.
"Go ahead, bite."
Seeing Sterling Norwood’s obedient and compliant demeanor, Selena Kensington couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She leaned over again but didn’t really bite Sterling Norwood.
Just like a little kitty, she nibbled playfully a few times and let him go.
After finishing all this, she snuggled back into Sterling Norwood’s arms.
Blinking, she looked up at Sterling Norwood.
Seeing her, having just been mischievous, now putting on an innocent and well-behaved demeanor, Sterling Norwood chuckled silently.
"Had enough fun?"
His tone was incredibly pampering and indulgent.
Selena Kensington blinked her eyes, not responding to him.
Instead, she contentedly burrowed into Sterling Norwood’s arms and fell asleep.
Sterling Norwood didn’t insist on an answer.
Once Selena Kensington snuggled into his arms, he skillfully raised a hand and gently patted her back, "Sleep."

The next day when Selena Kensington went downstairs, she saw Timothy Jennings preparing to head to Mount Nimbus.
"Brother Timothy, are you leaving so soon?"
Selena Kensington walked over, looking at Timothy Jennings, who was already packed and ready to go.
Timothy Jennings saw her approach and nodded, "Yes."
"This time Spencer Norwood is going with me, but some of the medicinal herbs Grandma mentioned are hard to find, so we’ll return as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, the longer we delay, the more anxious we become."
Ever since the Norwood family rescued the Jennings family, Timothy Jennings had been in touch with Sterling Norwood and others.
Now, he was quite familiar with them.
As Timothy Jennings was heading to Mount Nimbus, Sterling Norwood feared that the Godsbane Organization would strike again.
So he directly arranged for Spencer Norwood to accompany him.
Hearing Timothy Jennings say this, Selena Kensington didn’t try to keep him.
Hugh Kensington was supposed to come over later, and she originally wanted him to meet Timothy Jennings.
But with Grandma Jennings there, it was just as well.
Besides, Timothy Jennings wouldn’t be gone forever.
"Alright, be careful."
Selena Kensington advised a few words, and Timothy Jennings left the main residence.
Selena Kensington walked into the dining room and saw Grandma Jennings, who had just sat down.
"Grandma, good morning."
Selena Kensington walked over.
As she approached, a servant helped her pull out her chair.
Selena Kensington sat down.
Grandma Jennings kindly nodded to her, "Selie, why don’t I see that rascal Sterling?"
Selena Kensington explained, "He went to The Imperial Building with Silvester early this morning."
Sterling Norwood had been away from Aethelgard for a few days, and there were already a bunch of matters waiting for him to make decisions at The Imperial Building.
Although Silvester Norwood had always been handling things, some important matters still required Sterling Norwood’s personal attention.
So, before Selena Kensington woke up, Sterling Norwood had already left.
Grandma Jennings smiled warmly, "He’s a good child..."
"We were too narrow-minded before, otherwise you wouldn’t have been delayed for so long..."
Previously, the Jennings family had mistakenly believed that the Norwood family would act harmfully towards Selena Kensington, so they had always been guarding against the discovery of her Heavenly Master Bloodline.
But they didn’t know that right from the start, Selena Kensington had been marked.
It was only recently that Grandma Jennings learned about some of the events that had transpired.
That’s why she now felt remorseful and regretful.
Selena Kensington gently shook her head, "Grandma, these things can’t be forced."
If Sterling Norwood’s heart hadn’t wavered from the beginning, she would have been directly eliminated.
The regret on Grandma Jennings’ face faded a bit, and she smiled again, "Yes, the ties between you two are profound..."
"No matter what, you would always have met."
Seeing Grandma Jennings’s mood improve, Selena Kensington gently urged her to have breakfast.
"Grandma, let’s have breakfast first."
"Okay, okay..."
Grandma Jennings responded with a smiling face.
After breakfast, Selena Kensington took Grandma Jennings for a walk in the garden outside the main residence.
"By the way, Grandma, Hugh will come by later to see you."
Selena Kensington said.
A flash of surprise appeared in Grandma’s Jennings eyes, followed by nostalgia and relief.
"I forget to inform Hugh. That’s my oversight."
Grandma Jennings said guiltily.
After all, it was them who directly abandoned the siblings in Aethelgard without any notice and withdrew.
The Jennings family owed far too much to the siblings.
Selena Kensington smiled gently, "It’s alright, he’s grown up and will understand why you acted the way you did."
