Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Heaven Sent Me Two Little Gifts

Sterling Norwood led Selena Kensington out of the nursery.

As they walked out, Selena curiously asked Sterling, "How long did it take you to pick their names?"

Sterling: "..."

Sterling silently led Selena back to the room.

Seeing Selena still looking at him curiously, Sterling helplessly muttered, "Not long."

He couldn’t possibly tell his wife what he went through to come up with those two names.

Sterling didn’t know what to consider when naming someone, nor did he know how to go about it.

To him, it was just a matter of piecing a few characters together.

But thinking of his wife’s gaze, Sterling eventually started searching for information and trying to come up with names.

He went through many books, even asked Grandpa Norwood, and also visited specific name-picking forums for advice.

Of course, he did all this quietly.

He only did it when Selena wasn’t paying attention.

He didn’t want his wife to know the embarrassing things he went through to pick a name.

Hearing Sterling’s answer, Selena gave him a sidelong glance.

She had guessed Sterling didn’t want to say much.

But her curiosity was piqued, so she held Sterling’s arm and implored, "Come on, tell me?"

Sterling pressed his lips slightly.

No matter how much Selena pleaded and acted spoiled, Sterling didn’t reveal anything about his naming experience.

In the end, when Selena wouldn’t let it go, Sterling simply picked her up and placed her on the bed.

He kissed her until she didn’t have the energy to ask more questions.

The next day, Selena told Grandpa Norwood the names of the two little ones.

When he heard Sterling’s chosen names, Grandpa Norwood’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Oh? These were names Sterling came up with?"

Selena nodded in agreement, "You didn’t expect that either, right Grandpa? I was really surprised at the time too!"

Grandpa Norwood laughed heartily.

"It is quite surprising."

Grandpa affectionately asked, "Did you sleep well last night? Did you miss the children?"

Hearing Grandpa Norwood’s concerned question, Selena remembered her own embarrassing situation from last night.

She cleared her throat slightly, "It’s fine, Grandpa, I slept well."

Then she muttered, "Those two little ones are utterly carefree, they slept so well."

Selena didn’t intentionally lower her voice, so Grandpa Norwood heard it easily.

Upon hearing this, he laughed loudly.

"Hahaha... Little Celeste and Little Seraphina would just look at you sweetly and smile. When Sterling was born, he was cold, like a robot, and it worried me for a long time."

Hearing Grandpa Norwood mention Sterling’s childhood, Selena became interested.

"What was Sterling like as a child?"

Grandpa Norwood didn’t say right away, "I still have the photos, I’ll show them to you after breakfast."

"Great!"

Selena eagerly agreed.

After she finished breakfast, she went upstairs to feed the two little ones.

Then she had the estate staff bring the two little ones downstairs and put them in rocking chairs in the living room.

The rocking chair was placed there because of the two little ones’ birth, so Selena could watch over them while watching TV in the living room.

While Grandpa Norwood went to get the photo album, Selena sat on the sofa gently rocking the chair, lulling the two little ones to sleep.

Her voice was soft and gentle, humming a lullaby with a calming quality to it.

The two little ones, having just had their milk, were indeed a bit sleepy.

Coupled with Selena quietly humming beside them, it didn’t take long for the two little ones to fall asleep.

Looking at the two children asleep, a sudden thought crossed Selena’s mind.

She took out her phone and gently placed one of the little one’s hands in hers.

She snapped a photo of their hands together.

After she was done, Selena opened Weibo and posted a new status update.

Selena V: Heaven sent me two little gifts. [Image]

The picture she attached was the one she just took.

To protect the two little ones’ privacy, Selena did not take pictures of their faces.

After posting on Weibo, Selena closed her phone.

She didn’t realize that her Weibo post went viral just ten minutes later.

And just after she finished, Grandpa Norwood arrived in the living room with a photo album.

Looking at the album, Selena saw it was quite old.

The gloss was gone, replaced by worn-out edges.

The corners were even frayed.

As Grandpa Norwood approached, he said, "This album was stored away, it took quite some effort to find it."

Once Grandpa Norwood sat on the sofa, Selena eagerly moved closer.

Knowing she was anxious, Grandpa Norwood didn’t say much and opened the album right away.

The outside of the album was worn, but the photos inside were well-preserved.

Selena widened her eyes slightly at the sight of young Sterling Norwood.

Indeed, young Sterling was just as Grandpa Norwood described—cold, like a robot.

He knew he was being photographed, but in the pictures, he always showed an indifferent, unconcerned demeanor.

Until one photo where he looked directly at the camera.

Even at a young age, Sterling exhibited the powerful abilities and instincts endowed by his strong bloodline.

His gaze was indifferent and calm, as if looking down on all living beings.

Lofty and untouchable.

Yet, deep in his indifferent eyes, a hint of savagery and ferocity lay hidden.

"Was he... always like this as a child?"

Selena incredulously asked.

Grandpa Norwood nodded slightly, "His bloodline was so dominant in his childhood, it had a considerable impact on him. If not for his strong self-restraint, perhaps..."

Grandpa Norwood didn’t finish, but Selena had an inkling of what he was implying.

Sterling’s powerful bloodline not only bestowed him with formidable abilities but also brought significant side effects.

He was influenced by his innate Qi tendencies, leading to potential loss of control.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been confined to The Norwood Estate over a decade ago.

That was because Sterling lost control of his bloodline surge, causing some disorder.

For his safety, the Norwood Family had him stay at The Norwood Estate.

Fortunately, during that time, Sterling was mostly indifferent to matters other than Selena.

Later, Grandpa Norwood continued flipping through the album.
