Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Sterling Norwood’s Level of Immaturity

Jane Rhodes had never met the Lady of the Norwood Family.

But during the time after returning to Aethelgard, she occasionally heard some mentions from the women in the Sinclair Family’s backyard.

The Lady of the Norwood Family had received the highest favor from the Patriarch Norwood, and now, due to her pregnancy, she was being closely watched by everyone in the Norwood Family.

The servant didn’t show any concern in her eyes as she paused, but continued to persuade, "Miss, you are the top talent of The South, with your talents, do you really worry about not being able to win over the Lady of the Norwood Family?"

"Moreover, we still have a few days, putting more effort into this matter will increase our chances of success significantly..."

Listening to the servant’s words, Jane Rhodes remained silent, but inside, she was tempted.

Yes...

The only reason Sloane Hawthorne is so fearless is because she has strong backing, right?

So if Jane took her backing away, would Sloane still be so arrogant...

Besides, maybe the reason Sloane Hawthorne was able to connect with Silas Sinclair was due to the mediation of the Lady of the Norwood Family. If the Lady could also help her, then her chances of becoming Lady Sinclair...

The more Jane Rhodes thought about it, the more beautiful it became in her mind, and she even fantasized about becoming Lady Sinclair in the future.

After the matter was resolved, Selena Kensington continued to leisurely wait for the Sinclair Family’s evening banquet to arrive.

That night.

Selena nestled in Sterling Norwood’s embrace, scrolling through a TV series when she suddenly received a WeChat message from Sloane Hawthorne.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, then glanced at Sterling Norwood beside her, who was looking at some documents, and slowly clicked to open it.

[Sloane]: Sister, I agreed to it.

Seeing this message, Selena understood.

Sloane Hawthorne had agreed to Silas Sinclair’s request to take her to the Sinclair Family’s banquet.

As for the reason for her agreement, Selena did not ask.

The fact that Sloane Hawthorne could agree to Silas Sinclair already showed that she was prepared and had enough courage to face the world where Silas Sinclair belonged.

[Selie Stays Slim]: It’s good that you’ve thought it through. I believe in you. Once you’ve decided, you won’t regret it.

[Sloane]: Hmm, I won’t regret it.

Sloane Hawthorne might seem uninterested in everything, but once she decided on something, she showed great perseverance.

Seeing Sloane’s message, Selena could imagine the determination in Sloane Hawthorne’s eyes even through the screen.

A flicker of a smile crossed her eyes as she continued to reply to Sloane Hawthorne.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Does your brother know?

With such a big matter between Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair, Sloane Hawthorne probably wouldn’t neglect to tell Jonah Hawthorne, right?

Knowing how Jonah Hawthorne previously rejected Silas Sinclair, Selena couldn’t help but wonder how Sloane had told him.

[Sloane]: He knows, I asked for his opinion. At the time, he had no particular views, which had me quite worried, but later that night, he took Silas Sinclair out... I eventually found them at a bar having a drinking competition.

By the time Sloane arrived, many empty bottles were already lying around them.

Even though Silas Sinclair had a good capacity for alcohol, under Jonah Hawthorne’s relentless pressure, he was starting to get slightly drunk.

Jonah Hawthorne was outright in a daze from drinking.

It took Sloane a lot of effort to get both of them out of the bar.

Selena "..."

Even across the screen, Selena could sense Sloane’s speechlessness at that moment.

Just as Selena was about to say something, she heard a chuckle from above where Sterling Norwood was.

Clearly, he had also seen the message from Sloane.

Selena slowly glanced at Sterling Norwood, noticing the disdain and schadenfreude in his eyes.

Her lip twitched slightly as she said, "...don’t laugh at them, you’re not much better yourself."

In terms of childishness, Sterling Norwood’s was no less than that of Silas Sinclair and Jonah Hawthorne.

And in front of her, Sterling Norwood’s childishness was even more extreme.

Sterling Norwood snorted softly but did not refute.

He placed the documents he was holding on the bedside table, then turned to embrace his small wife.

He glanced at the ongoing chat, lazily saying, "Time for bed."

Selena didn’t turn her head as she replied, "Wait, we’re not done talking yet."

Sterling Norwood "..."

Feeling a bit annoyed at being ignored by his wife, Sterling Norwood chose not to speak, and instead of taking Selena’s phone to force her to end the conversation, he leaned in closer, kissing Selena on the cheek, lips, and chin...

He made no severe moves, but the tender and soft touches sent slight tingles through Selena, forcing her to shift her attention to Sterling Norwood.

Seeing what he was doing, Selena felt a bit helpless, "Stay quiet for a while."

"..."

Sterling Norwood didn’t reply verbally, choosing instead to continue cuddling her.

Seeing this, Selena had no choice but to finish her conversation with Sloane Hawthorne.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Keep yourself in good shape these days, and prepare for the banquet. I have something to do, so I can’t continue chatting with you.

Upon reading Selena’s final message, Sloane knew immediately what the situation was.

Sterling Norwood must be nearby.

[Sloane]: Okay, sister, have an early rest.

After sending this message, Sloane couldn’t help but think of the love between Sterling Norwood and Selena. She felt a bit envious.

But at that moment, Silas Sinclair’s face appeared in her mind.

To the outside world, she was indeed like a Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family, and even Sloane herself thought so. She believed she lacked the charm to captivate Silas Sinclair, yet that’s exactly what happened.

Thinking of everything that man had done for her, Sloane felt a warmth in her heart.

She knew the gap between their social statuses, and even though Silas Sinclair and the Sinclair Family didn’t mind, her pride made her very conscious of it, which is why she wanted to work hard to be worthy of Silas Sinclair.

Even though there was still a distance, getting closer, even by a little, was worth her effort.

After Selena sent that final message, Sterling Norwood was finally satisfied as he placed Selena’s phone on the bedside table.

"Happy now?"

Selena gave him a playful glare but took no action to restrain his embrace.

Sterling Norwood said nothing, although the slight smile he had spoke volumes about his pleasant mood.

"The Sinclair Family’s banquet is in a few days." Sterling Norwood said, holding Selena.

"Mm."

Selena replied softly, her eyes deepening slightly.

The person who plotted against Sloane Hawthorne would be there, wouldn’t they?

She certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
