Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 858: Chapter 858: Don’t Worry About Them, Worry About Me

"Yes, ma’am."

Hearing the replies from the two servants, Selena Kensington looked over at Sterling Norwood, "Shall we go?"

Sterling Norwood came over and took her hand, leading her outside.

As Selena returned to her familiar bedroom, a deep sense of nostalgia and familiarity washed over her heart.

Looking at the large bed in the room, she couldn’t help but quicken her pace and threw herself onto it.

She sighed, "Ah... sleeping in the bed at home is still the best!"

Though the hospital room Selena stayed in was as good as a suite in a five-star hotel,

Selena just wasn’t used to it; maybe it was because it wasn’t as comfortable as her bedroom at home.

Seeing that Selena had dived onto the bed, he didn’t mind at all.

Sterling walked after her, then bent down to take off her shoes and gently straightened her on the bed, making her lie down properly.

After covering her with the quilt, Sterling gently pinched Selena’s nose, his smile indulgent, "Go to sleep."

Selena blinked.

"Don’t forget to think about names for the babies."

Sterling paused, a trace of helplessness in his expression, "I won’t forget. Sleep now."

Having received Sterling’s response, Selena finally contentedly closed her eyes to sleep.

After seeing Selena close her eyes, Sterling then turned and walked out of the study.

In the evening, after dinner, Selena felt a bit reluctant upon hearing that she would be separated from the two little ones.

"They’ve only been born for a few days, how could they sleep apart from me already...?"

Selena’s voice carried a hint of struggle.

After dinner, Sterling brought up the topic, and surprisingly, old Mr. Norwood beside them didn’t object either.

He even nodded in agreement, "Selie, this is something essential for their growth."

"Children of the Norwood Family are different from those of ordinary families; they adapt to their environment much quicker. So, if you keep sleeping with them, it will only foster a sense of dependency and neglect their instincts."

Hearing old Mr. Norwood say this, Selena still hesitated a little, "But isn’t it too soon...?"

Old Mr. Norwood firmly replied, "No, precisely this period, the first month after birth, is the time for them to fully adapt to the current environment. After a month, if you want to hold them and sleep, it won’t be too late."

The Norwood bloodline is special, and some conventional methods don’t apply to them.

Hearing old Mr. Norwood say this, Selena’s heart felt slightly more at ease.

No matter how much she didn’t want to part with them, Selena knew she couldn’t hinder their growth.

She just needed to endure this month.

Selena and Sterling went back to the nursery next door to check on the two little ones who hadn’t fallen asleep yet.

Seeing the two little ones wide awake, Selena murmured, "You two sure are energetic..."

Standing beside her and seeing the worry in Selena’s eyes, Sterling paused, but ultimately spoke, "If you really can’t bear it, let them sleep with you for one more night."

Though this was a necessary experience for newborns in the Norwood family, Sterling thought taking a step back wasn’t unreasonable, particularly given his wife’s affection for the little ones.

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena shook her head, "No, after all, it’s something they have to go through."

The sooner it’s experienced, the sooner it’s over.

After saying that, she reached out her fingers to play with the little ones’ hands.

Then whispered, "I wonder if you two will miss me..."

The little ones, sensing Selena’s words, opened their mouths into smiles.

They clasped Selena’s fingers tightly, as if wanting to hold onto her with all their might.

Feeling the joy from the little ones, the melancholy in Selena’s heart dissipated.

She continued to play with the little ones in the nursery for a while.

Until Sterling reminded that it was getting late, only then did Selena reluctantly withdraw her hands.

"Go to sleep now."

She gazed at the little ones with a smile, whispering softly.

This time, the little ones seemed to understand their mom’s words, and their lively movements gradually slowed.

As Selena watched them with a smile, they slowly closed their eyes.

The little ones fell asleep quickly; almost as soon as they closed their eyes, Selena noticed their gentle breathing.

Seeing this, Selena raised her eyebrows slightly, commenting to Sterling, "They do fall asleep quickly."

Sterling came over, wrapping an arm around Selena’s shoulders, taking a glance at the already asleep little ones.

He led Selena outside, "Let’s go."

After Selena and Sterling returned to the bedroom, Selena put aside her worries and went to freshen up first.

Upon her return from freshening up, Selena couldn’t help but voice her concerns to Sterling.

"What if they wake up crying in the middle of the night?"

Sterling "..."

Sterling sighed, "They won’t, they’ll sleep quite soundly."

Yet Selena muttered, "Even without me around, they can sleep so soundly, I might as well not have given birth to them."

Seeing Selena starting to overthink again, Sterling quickly came over to stop her from getting lost in her thoughts.

He picked Selena up, decisively saying, "Don’t worry about them. Worry about me."

Hearing this, the corners of Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.

"You still need someone to worry about you? You’re already such a grown-up..."

Though she said this, Selena obediently let Sterling carry her to the bed.

Sterling remained indifferent.

He laid Selena gently on the bed.

Sterling gazed downward at Selena, his ocean-blue eyes full of her reflection.

Looking at him, a vague thought flashed through Selena’s mind.

Sterling suddenly lowered his head, kissing her forehead, then gently trailing down to her eyes, nose, lips, and chin...

The tingling sensation stimulated Selena’s senses, making her tilt her head slightly, whispering softly, "Stop it."

Not only did Sterling not stop, but he became even more assertive.

In a husky voice, he said, "Having held back for so long, it’s time to make up for it."

Selena "..."

She hadn’t expected Sterling had been waiting for this moment.

The outcome was naturally as expected.

Selena never thought of resisting.

Afterwards, Selena lazily snuggled into Sterling’s embrace, too tired to even entertain the idea of moving.

Sterling lowered his head, planting a kiss on the crown of her hair, then contentedly said, "Let’s sleep."

Selena rolled her eyes at him, this guy had certainly gotten his fill.

While she exhausted herself.

Yet at this moment, Selena lost her desire to sleep.

She nudged Sterling, saying, "I want to go check on the babies."
