Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 868: Chapter 868: Don’t Worry, I’m Here

Sterling Norwood "..."

Improve the father-son relationship?

Has his wife not given up on this matter yet...

But once Selena Kensington made up her mind, it was hard to change it.

Sterling Norwood knew this about Selena’s personality, so he didn’t say anything else in the end.

He raised his voice slightly and said, "Don’t stay too long, go and come back quickly."

Selena readily agreed, "Understood. I’ll be back soon."

That evening, after Sterling Norwood agreed, Selena called Miles Goodman while Sterling was in the shower.

When she explained her purpose, Miles was silent for a moment.

He said, "Wait a moment."

Obviously, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Selena patiently waited while Miles pondered for a moment.

After two or three minutes of thought, Miles could only offer some insights.

Miles analyzed one by one, "You can still feel her presence, right? Such a situation is unheard of... Logically, after she saved you once, she should have disappeared. It seems your subconscious rejected her aid, and since her rescue attempt wasn’t completed, she’s only in a dormant state and hasn’t vanished."

"But now you can’t awaken her, you can only sense her presence, is that correct?"

Listening to Miles, Selena nodded and responded with an ’Mm.’

"That’s how it is,"

she said.

Miles mused for a moment, "In that case, try to enter the space she resides in. Since she still exists, she should be nourished by the Heavenly Master Power within you. You should seek the help of the Heavenly Master Power within you."

"...Is that so," Selena murmured.

Afterward, she seemed to have some idea, so she nodded in agreement.

"Understood, thank you, Miles."

After they ended their call, Sterling Norwood came out.

Seeing Selena hang up the phone and noticing the slight confusion on her face, he walked over.

"Still thinking about that matter?"

Sterling referred to the issue of Esther Jennings.

When Selena was recuperating in the hospital after giving birth, she had told Sterling what happened during her delivery, naturally mentioning Esther Jennings.

Seeing Sterling come out, Selena slightly nodded, "Mm. I asked Miles, and he told me to let the Heavenly Master Power within me guide me to that space in my consciousness."

Selena’s voice was somewhat hesitant, "But... can they really guide me to awaken Esther Jennings?"

Hearing this, Sterling sat down beside her.

He leaned over, pressing his forehead against hers.

Their eyes met.

In Sterling’s eyes, Selena saw her reflection, and the calm look in Sterling’s eyes inexplicably provided a sense of reassurance.

Under Sterling’s gaze, the bit of worry in Selena’s heart gradually eased.

After a moment of eye contact, Sterling leaned in and kissed Selena’s lips.

The soft, gentle sensation made Selena momentarily forget her worries.

As the kiss ended, there was a slightly hazy shimmer in Selena’s eyes.

Sterling lifted his hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of her mouth.

Then, he softly said, "Do you know why I’ve been able to stay so long at the main house by myself?"

Upon hearing this, Selena’s eyes widened slightly.

Then, she shook her head.

Given Sterling’s nature, if he was unwilling, even the Norwood family couldn’t force him to stay at the main house for so long. He could entirely do whatever he pleased.

Without caring about outside opinions.

But he didn’t.

Seeing the confusion in Selena’s eyes, a trace of a smile appeared in Sterling’s eyes.

He lowered his voice, deep and raspy, "Because, I didn’t want you to be afraid."

Hearing this, Selena stood there, stunned.

Why had Sterling been willing to stay in the main house for so long? He didn’t have to worry about higher society’s judgment, nor did he need to restrain his innate talents.

He could completely develop himself freely.

But to prevent the outside world from judging him fearfully and to prevent Selena from being afraid...

He chose to stay.

Sterling continued, "So, as long as you want to find her, you definitely can."

After he finished speaking, he took Selena’s hand, intertwining their fingers.

"Don’t worry, I’m here."

"I’ll guide you."

After saying this, Sterling had Selena lie down on the bed.

Seeing Sterling like this, all of Selena’s worries vanished without a trace.

She slightly raised the corners of her lips, her tone lifting with delight, "Mm."

Sterling said, "Sleep."

Under Sterling’s voice, Selena gradually felt a bit of drowsiness.

She closed her eyes.

But Selena didn’t truly fall asleep; instead, she searched within herself for the Heavenly Master Power embedded in her body.

Selena felt herself falling deep into an endless darkness, constantly descending with no ground beneath her.

She tried desperately to stop the descent, but it was futile.

Just when Selena thought she would keep falling indefinitely, Sterling’s gentle and husky voice emerged, providing a stabilizing presence.

"Don’t mind it, find the light within you."

The light?

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena’s previously anxious heart began to calm.

She started facing her current situation with tranquility, then activated the Heavenly Master Power within her.

After listening to Sterling, Selena suddenly realized the feeling of descent had disappeared.

In this endless dark space, scattered points of light began to appear.

They floated in the vast darkness, resembling a heaven filled with fireflies.

But Selena knew these points of light weren’t emitted by fireflies; they were the Heavenly Master Power within her.

Sterling’s voice continued, "Find the brightest spot and keep going forward, don’t stop."

Hearing Sterling’s guidance, Selena began to search in the darkness for the brightest and most dazzling light source.

Then, she stepped forward without hesitation.

Selena wasn’t sure how long she walked, but she could no longer hear Sterling’s voice.

She felt she had walked a very long distance, feeling a bit of fatigue. But the starlight around her grew more intense, seemingly pointing her towards a destination.

Just as Selena was about to stop for a break, Sterling’s voice appeared once more.

"Be good, don’t stop. You’re almost there."

Hearing Sterling, Selena gritted her teeth slightly and continued forward.

Finally, she found herself in front of a door.

Selena raised her hand, placing it on the door, feeling that beyond it lay the space within her consciousness where Esther Jennings resided.
