Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Ajing Competing with the Kids

"...Pfft!"

Selena Kensington couldn’t hold back her laughter upon hearing Vivian Sutton’s words.

She finally understood the reaction Sterling Norwood and the others had when they heard her earlier remark.

It was truly... quite funny.

Afterwards, Selena shared her recent happenings with Vivian, and Vivian joined in, laughing.

She grabbed a chair and placed it beside the crib, staring intently at the two sleeping babies.

"Tsk... babies, from now on, I’ll be your godmother."

Although Vivian Sutton was initially startled by the appearance of the two children, the thought of how stunning they might become later filled her with uncontrollable joy.

Selena gave her a playful glance, then looked over at Clement Luther, who stood beside Vivian.

She said, "If you like them so much, why don’t you and Clement have a baby..."

Clement Luther, standing next to Vivian, raised an eyebrow and looked at Selena.

But Vivian quickly waved her hands when she heard this.

The resistance on her face was obvious, "No way! I’m not considering that right now."

After she finished speaking, she leaned closer, eyes widened, asking, "What did it feel like when you were giving birth? Was it very painful..."

"..."

Selena was taken aback by Vivian’s question, then instinctively looked over at Sterling Norwood.

Seeing him standing there steadily looking at her, Selena’s lips curved slightly.

She then turned back and said to Vivian casually, "It didn’t feel like much."

"If I must say, it felt like having a dream."

"A dream..." Vivian mumbled the word, and eventually gave up trying to understand.

After watching for a while, the two of them left first.

In the days that followed, Selena Kensington recuperated quietly in the ward.

During those days, her friends and family came to visit her one after another.

While they were visiting, Sterling Norwood remained by her side.

Instead, there wasn’t much focus on the babies.

And just as Mr. Norwood said, newborns are indeed somewhat unattractive. But after a few days of meticulous care, the two babies had shed their initial awkward appearance.

Their skin became smooth and delicate, their eyes round and endearing.

Without their initial awkwardness, Selena grew increasingly fond of the siblings, wanting to take them everywhere.

Which led Sterling to shoot covert glares at the two little babies.

He sometimes attempted to capture Selena’s attention, but as soon as those two little ones made any movement, Selena would immediately leave him to check on the siblings.

To the extent that no matter how many ways Sterling tried, he couldn’t successfully divert Selena’s attention.

In the end, he was lectured by Selena.

Selena poked his cheek with a smile, "The kids are already born, and you’re still competing with them."

After saying that, Selena picked up their little sister and said to Sterling, "You hold the brother."

Sterling Norwood "..."

Sterling looked reluctant upon hearing this.

But Selena was determined to strengthen the bond between father and children, so she glared at Sterling, "Hold him!!"

To avoid incurring Selena’s anger, Sterling reluctantly walked over to the crib.

Due to Sterling’s unfamiliarity, his arms were a bit awkward.

Following Selena’s cue, he picked up the little one.

Then he looked at Selena, a bit unsure, "What are we doing?"

"Pfft..."

Seeing Sterling rarely show a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness, Selena couldn’t help but chuckle.

She said gently, "You need to practice holding them more so they can sleep comfortably in your arms."

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sterling’s expression darkened, "You want me to hold them while they sleep?!"

The way he said it, there was a hint of gritted teeth.

Selena was speechless upon hearing this.

The little one in Sterling’s arms, originally asleep, also slightly stirred.

Seeing the little one awake, Selena disregarded what Sterling just said.

"He’s awake."

The little one in Selena’s arms was still sleeping, but as Selena approached Sterling, her little one seemed to sense her brother awoke and slightly opened her eyes too.

Selena watched this scene, tenderly poking the little girl’s nose.

She said, "The siblings seem to have a connection; when she sensed her brother awake, she woke up too."

Hearing Selena’s words, Sterling’s brow slightly softened.

But his hands still awkwardly held the little baby.

When Sterling felt something lightly grab his sleeve, his arm tensed.

He lowered his gaze.

He found the little one with those round eyes, looking at him curiously, eyes seemingly filled with a hint of affection.

And that tiny hand seemed to rest on Sterling’s sleeve, instinctively tugging at it.

"..."

Sterling narrowed his eyes slightly at the little one’s actions.

His tone carried a hint of threat, "Don’t think that by giving me that innocent look, I’ll let you go."

He wouldn’t forget how much these two little beings had caused Selena anguish and pain.

If it weren’t for the fact that these little ones were so young and Selena was protective of them, Sterling would have sent them to Mr. Norwood right after their birth rather than letting them keep vying for attention from Selena.

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Selena kicked Sterling’s leg.

After she kicked him, she glared at Sterling, her tone fierce, "What are you saying to a newborn?! Threatening them? Do you think I’m not here?!"

Sterling, taking the kick, could only silently endure his wife’s anger. He quickly placed the little one back into the crib and then laid the little girl in Serena’s arms next to her brother.

"What are you doing?!"

Selena looked at Sterling’s actions, confused.

Sterling sat by the bed, gazing at the two of them in the crib alongside Selena.

He explained his previous words with a calm demeanor, "I was just testing them. See, they didn’t cry, which shows their mental resilience isn’t bad. Hmm, that’s what makes them worthy of being my children."

"..." Hearing Sterling’s blunt and shameless reasoning, Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.

She rolled her eyes, mercilessly putting him down, "Oh, please."

After speaking, she leaned over to the crib to observe the siblings.

The siblings were now both awake.

They had their big, round eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at the ceiling above.

As Selena moved closer, the little ones seemed to sense it.

Their eyes shifted slightly, then they both looked over.

Seeing the synchronized expressions of the two little ones, Selena was a bit surprised.
