Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 878: Chapter 878: What Kind of Way Is This to Soothe a Child?

Selena Kensington "..."

What kind of way is this to coax a child to sleep?

Such an overt threat... Only Sterling Norwood could say it so naturally and calmly.

Selena Kensington was momentarily a bit helpless, but also found it somewhat amusing.

It seems, she still can’t have too much hope in Sterling Norwood.

Such a pity she thought he had come to his senses.

However, it wasn’t easy for Sterling Norwood to get to this point.

Seeing this, Selena Kensington didn’t hurry to correct his way of coaxing the child but instead gently comforted little Celeste, "Be good, darling, go to sleep. Mommy will be back tomorrow..."

Little Celeste saw her mom not helping her, and her lips pursed again.

But under her mom’s gentle voice, little Celeste stopped fussing.

Gradually, in the voice of Selena Kensington, she slowly closed her eyes.

After the two little ones fell asleep, Sterling Norwood tucked them in and then walked out of the nursery.

Returning to the bedroom, Sterling Norwood could finally chat with Selena Kensington properly.

Sterling Norwood asked, "What time are you coming back tomorrow?"

Selena Kensington thought for a moment, "I’ll come back after having breakfast with Grandma and the others. Cousin’s wife is too weak, so Grandma can’t leave here for a while. We have to wait until cousin’s wife’s health stabilizes before she can come to see the two little ones."

Selena Kensington was a bit startled when she went to see that cousin’s wife just now.

Although she knows nothing about medicine, the information transmitted to her body through the Heavenly Master Power allowed Selena Kensington to feel that her cousin’s wife is extremely weak.

Just from her frail appearance, you could see it.

Cousin’s wife’s body is extremely cold in the stomach, with many organs gradually failing.

If it weren’t for Grandma Jennings constantly using the Heavenly Master Power to maintain her internal organs, letting her complexion improve a lot over the years, she really would have struggled to hang on.

Such a body... no wonder it was a life-or-death situation when giving birth to Noah Jennings.

Or you could say, being able to give birth to Noah Jennings was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

And with this second child, even more attention is needed.

So Selena Kensington didn’t let Grandma Jennings leave with her; at this time, Grandma Jennings is still needed here to take care of cousin’s wife.

Sterling Norwood nodded slightly after hearing this.

He raised his head, gazing at Selena Kensington with a soft look, then the corners of his lips curved slightly, "You were only away for a day, yet I already can’t wait to see you."

"..." Listening to Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington couldn’t help but curve her lips.

"Alright, I’ll be back tomorrow." She responded to him with a soft smile.

Sterling Norwood paused, then his gaze deepened as he looked at her.

He watched for a moment and then spoke, "Go to sleep..."

"Don’t hang up."

He added another sentence afterward.

He wanted to watch her fall asleep.

Hearing Sterling Norwood say this, Selena Kensington was taken aback.

Then her eyebrows were slightly helpless as she agreed.

She placed her phone on the bed next to her, using a phone stand so Sterling Norwood could clearly see her.

After setting it all up, she smiled and told Sterling Norwood, "Good night."

Having said that, she closed her eyes first.

Sterling Norwood watched Selena Kensington close her eyes, looking at her face, also murmuring, "Good night."

*

The next day, when Selena Kensington woke up, she found her phone had automatically shut down.

Selena Kensington plugged her phone into the charger and turned it on.

Seeing Sterling Norwood hadn’t sent her any messages, she then got up to wash up.

After she finished washing up and came out, Timothy Jennings was already inviting her to have breakfast.

Selena Kensington walked over with a smile.

She solved breakfast while laughing and chatting with the Jennings family, then accompanied Grandma Jennings and that cousin’s wife for a conversation. She planned to leave after.

Before leaving, Selena Kensington thought for a moment and then said to Grandma Jennings, "Grandma, wait until the next Spring Festival; I’ll bring them to see you."

"During this time, you should take good care of cousin’s wife."

Hearing Selena Kensington say this, Grandma Jennings sighed and immediately agreed, "Alright, alright... It’s really hard on you."

"As for your uncle... don’t worry, I won’t let you be a so-called Medium."

Grandma Jennings brought up Vincent Sinclair’s matters, her eyes clearly showing disapproval and helplessness.

Upon hearing Grandma Jennings take the initiative to bring up Vincent Sinclair’s matters, Selena Kensington hesitated for a while but still asked, "Grandma, do you really know what he plans to do?"

Grandma Jennings glanced at her, then sighed, "Well, it’s time you knew about this."

Upon hearing Grandma Jennings say this, Selena Kensington silently sat back down.

Meanwhile, the cousin’s wife had already left the living room.

For a moment, only Selena Kensington and Grandma Jennings remained in the living room.

In those bright and spirited eyes of Grandma Jennings, Selena Kensington saw a hint of cloudiness for the first time.

Grandma Jennings slowly opened her mouth, "Selie, the Rivers Family ancestors once encountered a ridiculous matter."

"At that time, the old patriarch of the Rivers Family had a young sister who passed away; that sister was very gifted and showed it at an early age. After her death, the patriarch was heartbroken. Until later, when a junior in the Rivers Family was born, the child’s spiritual body received the old patriarch’s sister’s spirit."

"The patriarch missed his sister while simultaneously generating a bold and absurd idea within himself; he wanted to resurrect his sister through the spiritual body residing in that junior. The ultimate outcome was naturally tragic."

"The patriarch took a reckless path, causing both his death and that of the junior."

Grandma Jennings sighed, "Life cannot be reborn, a spiritual body is just that; how could it ever again become human flesh? In the end, the patriarch did not succeed and caused considerable unrest within the Rivers Family."

"But these principles, your uncle will never understand. His decades of obsession have trapped him, he cannot break free."

Listening to Grandma Jennings recounting these things, Selena Kensington was silent for a long time.

No wonder Vincent Sinclair values her so highly, and calls her ’Medium.’

Because, possessing the Heavenly Master Bloodline and having Esther Jennings’s spiritual body descend upon her, she is precisely the Medium for reviving Esther Jennings.

Grandma Jennings saw Selena Kensington fall silent, assuming she was worried or frightened, she spoke up to comfort her, "Selie, rest assured. Grandma would rather give up this old life than let you become such a so-called Medium."

Hearing Grandma Jennings’ comforting words, Selena Kensington smiled and then softly shook her head at her, "Grandma, I’m not worried about these things. I won’t let them easily catch me."

Listening to Selena Kensington say this, Grandma Jennings smiled with relief.

Selena Kensington looked at Grandma Jennings and suddenly remembered something.

She immediately asked Grandma Jennings, "Grandma, didn’t you say before, that once I give birth, the effects of the curse would dissolve, and the Clan of Celestial Masters would eventually become history... but why can we still use Heavenly Master Power now?"

This is the issue that has been puzzling Selena Kensington for some time.
