Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Let Daddy Deal With You

Selena Kensington smiled and nodded.

After that, Mrs. Anna chatted with Selena for a while.

...

"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be there."

Once the conversation was more or less over, Mrs. Anna wrapped up the topic.

Selena smiled and nodded at her, just about to hang up the call, when she saw Samuel Dalton appear behind Mrs. Anna.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and warmly called out, "Sam."

Samuel turned and looked over, the coldness between his brows gradually dissipating.

"Sister."

He obediently called out.

Mrs. Anna smiled and glanced at her son, then turned to the video call with Selena, "Selie, you take a rest first, I’ll talk to him."

Selena nodded, "Okay."

After that, they hung up the call.

Once those notifications were finished, Selena blinked and looked toward Sterling Norwood behind her.

"Do you decide on the others?"

Sterling nodded, then picked Selena up.

He said, "Let’s go to bed."

Selena wrapped her arms around his neck, remaining silent.

The two went to check on the two little ones in the nursery as usual.

Selena saw the two little ones lying peacefully in their crib, sleeping soundly.

The knot inside her re-appeared.

She muttered, "These little heartless ones..."

Sterling chuckled lightly beside her, then led Selena back to the bedroom.

*

After experiencing some emotional fluctuations her first time sleeping apart from the little ones, Selena’s mood became much calmer over time.

The two little ones didn’t cry or make a fuss, leaving many of Selena’s worries unused.

So aside from the initial novelty, Selena’s demeanor quickly settled down.

The full moon party arrived quickly.

On this day, the two little ones seemed to notice they were a month old and became especially excited.

Usually, with some coaxing from Selena, they would sleep well. But today, no matter how much Selena coaxed them, they refused to sleep.

They even grew more restless.

In her anxiety, Selena ignored the fact that they were only a month old and glared at them.

She put on a fierce expression and threatened, "Are you two going to sleep or not?!"

Receiving their mother’s look, the little ones paused.

Just when Selena thought they might finally settle down and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly started giggling.

"Giggling..."

The siblings laughed seemingly joyfully, waving their little hands.

Selena "..."

Seeing the little ones not intimidated by her threat and laughing even more happily, a sense of defeat rose within Selena.

"...These little rascals."

Selena slightly gritted her teeth and said.

How had she not noticed these little ones had such mischievous thoughts before? When they were just born, they were so well-behaved.

But after sleeping separately for half a month, their mischievous side began to show...

Selena stared at the two little ones for a while, finally letting out a helpless sigh.

"Fine."

She extended a finger, teasing the little ones.

When she saw them eagerly trying to grab her finger, a small smile crept to her lips.

Selena said, "Let your dad handle you two."

As soon as Selena said this, Sterling walked into the nursery.

When he saw Selena playing with the little ones, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"They’re still not asleep?"

He walked behind Selena and asked.

Upon hearing the voice from behind, Selena shifted slightly, then nodded. Her tone carried a hint of helplessness, "They might know today is a special day for them, so they’re particularly excited."

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sterling raised an eyebrow.

He glanced down at the little ones still trying to grab Selena’s finger, and mercilessly extended a hand to rescue Selena’s fingers.

With nothing to grab onto, the little ones extended their hands as if wanting Selena’s hand to return.

Sterling chuckled lightly, "Don’t even think about it."

Selena "..."

Selena looked speechlessly at Sterling, wondering how the kids could understand him.

But surprisingly, the siblings seemed to have understood.

Seraphina paused for a while and then put her hand back, lying there quietly with her eyes open, looking at Selena.

But little Celeste wasn’t the same. Upon hearing Sterling’s words and not having Selena’s hand back, her big round eyes widened.

Then, she slowly pulled back her hand, her mouth beginning to pout.

"Waaah...!"

When Selena heard little Celeste crying, a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

Without thinking further, she instinctively picked up little Celeste.

"There, there..."

Selena gently soothed little Celeste.

Feeling the warmth of her mother’s embrace, little Celeste seemed much more at ease. Her crying gradually subsided.

But she still kept her big round eyes open, fixing her gaze on Selena. At the corners of her eyes, there were still traces of tears, looking adorably pitiful.

Beside them, Sterling "..."

Why did he feel like his daughter was doing it on purpose?

Sterling found his daughter quite pleasing, often holding her and teasing her when in a good mood.

Seeing her so much like Selena, Sterling’s mood always brightened.

However, now, he witnessed firsthand that his daughter, barely a month old, already knew how to attract her mother’s attention.

This made her much cleverer than her brother.

Selena looked at Sterling in surprise, "She... I thought she’d forgotten how to cry."

Previously, the siblings’ behavior made Selena think her children weren’t like other kids. At least after the initial days of crying when born, they had been very quiet.

Though they weren’t exactly quiet, perhaps in their minds, unless wanting attention, they wouldn’t express much of anything. As for others, they didn’t even bother engaging.

This made the two kids seem always well-behaved, never crying or fussing.

And during the time at the main house, Selena had only seen little Celeste cry once, and that was because Selena forgot to feed them, making little Celeste cry from hunger.

Little Seraphina, on the other hand...

He was just like Sterling when he was young.

So Selena’s surprise when little Celeste cried was beyond words.

As this was the first time little Celeste had cried in front of her for no apparent reason, Selena was caught off guard.

Sterling opened his mouth slightly, his tone tinged with a bit of helplessness.

"She might just want your attention."

He really didn’t want to point this out directly to his wife.
