Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 865: Chapter 865: Are You There? Gifting a Few Islands

As soon as Mrs. Anna saw the two little ones, she abandoned her son.

She watched the two little ones and liked them more and more.

Mrs. Anna always liked children, but due to her status and environment, she couldn’t show this weakness too obviously.

So when Samuel was little, she left him behind to protect his safety.

Mrs. Anna watched for a while, then raised her head to look at Selena, "Selie, can I hold them?"

Selena smiled and nodded, "Of course you can."

Although Mrs. Anna was excited, she knew that newborns are the most susceptible to infections.

So, for the sake of the little ones, Mrs. Anna washed her hands and sterilized them before cautiously holding them.

She was holding little Celeste.

Mrs. Anna held little Celeste in her arms with a look of affection, "When this little one grows up, she’ll indeed be a beauty."

Little Celeste seemed to understand Mrs. Anna’s praise and started giggling.

She even reached out to touch Mrs. Anna.

Mrs. Anna found little Celeste so adorable that she lowered her head to let Celeste touch her face.

She cheerfully said, "I have a great connection with this little one..."

Selena glanced at Samuel, who was quietly watching from the side.

He seemed curious about little Celeste, as his eyes never left her while Mrs. Anna held her.

Selena paused and slowly spoke, "Samuel, do you want to hold them?"

Samuel "..."

Samuel paused, then gently nodded.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Anna was somewhat surprised and glanced at Samuel but was very cooperative in handing little Celeste to him.

When Samuel first held her, he was a bit flustered, causing Sterling Norwood, by Selena’s side, to snort.

Mrs. Anna laughed and taught him from the side.

Meanwhile, Selena elbowed Sterling’s arm.

She said helplessly, "You have the nerve to laugh; how much better were you back then?"

After having his cover blown by Selena, Sterling received a taunting glance from Samuel.

Sterling "..."

Having his wife call him out, Sterling had nothing to say and could only agree.

Under Mrs. Anna’s guidance, Samuel’s movements became less awkward.

He lowered his eyes to look at little Celeste in his arms, and little Celeste just happened to be looking at him too.

Little Celeste seemed particularly fond of good-looking people, smiling the entire evening at the beautiful uncles and aunts she saw.

Now, upon seeing Samuel, little Celeste smiled even wider.

Without waiting for Samuel to get closer, she wanted to reach out to him.

Selena, watching from the side, clicked her tongue, "As expected of my daughter, knowing how to pick the good-looking ones!"

"..."

Listening from the side, Sterling felt a bit jealous and pinched Selena’s palm, causing her to turn and look at him.

Sterling’s voice was faint, with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Are you implying that I’m not good-looking?"

Hearing this, Selena’s mouth twitched slightly, and she said helplessly, "You probably forgot who decisively ignored little Celeste when she wanted a hug. Several times she looked at you eagerly."

Sterling "..."

Hearing Selena say this, Sterling thought carefully, and it did seem like there was such a thing.

Sometimes, little Celeste would look at him eagerly, hoping for a hug.

But at that time, Sterling’s attention was entirely on Selena, completely ignoring little Celeste’s glances and actions.

Moreover, Selena’s attention was mostly on the two little ones, and Sterling was perpetually jealous, so how could he possibly pay attention to the little ones’ situation?

Most of the time, Sterling’s interactions with the little ones happened when Selena was watching, reluctantly complying.

Sterling awkwardly cleared his throat.

Seeing him like this, Selena knew he had remembered and shot him a speechless glance.

After holding little Celeste for a while, Samuel placed her back in the cradle.

Then he waved to the Colombo Family’s subordinates following him.

A subordinate immediately stepped forward and took some documents out of the briefcase he carried.

Selena hadn’t seen what was on the documents yet, but having experienced the transfer of property from Nancy Kensington earlier, she was now sensitive to documents.

She had a vague bad premonition in her heart and asked aloud, "Samuel, what do you want to give?"

"Hmm?" Samuel looked over in confusion, saw the expression in Selena’s eyes, paused, and finally replied honestly.

"I regretted not being able to gift the elder sister a few islands earlier, so I thought I might give them as a present to them now. Rest assured, among the islands under Colombo’s name in The Zephyr Sea, two-thirds have already been developed with complete facilities..."

Before Samuel finished his sentence, Selena interrupted him through gritted teeth.

"Shut up!"

Samuel was taken aback and instinctively stopped.

Then Selena looked at Samuel with a bit of frustration and voiced, "You guys, seriously... Islands are not something you can just give away, right?"

For the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in Samuel’s eyes, but he honestly replied, "The assets under the Colombo Family now belong to me, so if I want, I can indeed give them away..."

Selena’s mouth twitched slightly, "... spendthrift!"

After saying this, her tone softened, more out of resignation, "Can’t you give them something children would like? Such grand gifts might spoil them rotten..."

These uncles and aunts of little Seraphina and little Celeste sure gave lavishly generous gifts, one after another.

Sometimes Selena truly worried, would they indulge little Seraphina and little Celeste into becoming two little tyrants?

After Selena said this, before Samuel could speak, Mrs. Anna chimed in.

She laughed and said, "No worries, we’re happy to spoil them. After all, they have the backing and resources to be unrestrained."

What Mrs. Anna said wasn’t wrong at all.

The backing of the two little ones was as solid as it gets.

Hearing this from Mrs. Anna, Sterling nodded in agreement.

Then Sterling looked at Selena by his side and gently said, "Let them be. No Norwood Family member will be a waste."

Hearing this from Sterling, Selena shot him a glance.

In this regard, Sterling did indulge the two little ones quite a bit.

But then again...

What Sterling said wasn’t wrong either.
