Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Shameless Ajing

The siblings teamed up, and sometimes Selena really couldn’t handle it.

In addition to feeling that they were too clingy at times, she also had to deal with Sterling Norwood’s covert jealousy because of the two little ones.

When Selena approached the nursery, she was surprised to hear little Celeste’s laughter coming from inside.

She initially thought it must be Grandpa Norwood entertaining the little ones again, but when she looked in, she found it was Sterling playing with them.

Although Sterling’s entertainment was merely a calm face holding a rattle, shaking it gently with an unusually serene expression.

But little Celeste was just delighted, laughing nonstop at his antics.

Selena "... ..."

How could her daughter be so easily amused?

Selena was surprised that Sterling was doing something like this.

Because before, even when Sterling had done things like coaxing or holding the babies, it was only because Selena told him to do so.

This was the first time Selena saw Sterling proactively entertaining the little ones.

Selena walked over with a smile.

She walked to Sterling’s back and placed both her hands on his shoulders.

Sterling felt the hands on his shoulders and paused for a moment.

He put the rattle aside, then pulled Selena’s hand to have her sit on his lap.

"Why are you here playing with them?"

Selena sat on Sterling’s lap and turned her head to ask him.

Sterling responded with a faint smile, "They just happened to wake up, and I was afraid little Celeste would bother you again."

Hearing Sterling’s words, a faint warmth swept through Selena’s heart.

So he was afraid little Celeste would start making a fuss and disturb her...

Sterling finished speaking, picked up a strand of Selena’s hair, and asked, "Are you done with work?"

Selena remembered the location shoot and planned to discuss it with Sterling.

Selena said, "Yes, the location is set. It’s in a second-tier city about an hour’s drive from Aethelgard, so I can go back and forth in one day, no worries."

Sterling responded with a simple ’hmm.’

"When will filming start?"

Selena thought for a bit, then spread her fingers and started calculating.

"Securing and remodeling the site will take over a month... During this time, the casting and other preparations can also proceed. So the shoot will likely begin in about two months."

"Two months..." Sterling murmured.

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena lowered her head in confusion, "What’s wrong? Is something happening in two months?"

Sterling’s eyes paused slightly as he looked at Selena’s face for a moment before shaking his head slightly, "It’s nothing."

Seeing his expression, Selena’s eyes narrowed slightly, "You better not be hiding something."

After speaking, she considered if there was something she forgot.

It’s April now, the following months would be May and June...

Wait!

Selena suddenly remembered what Lark had mentioned at the Norwood Family banquet about the "End-of-the-World Feast."

The "End-of-the-World Feast" was set to start between May and June.

"Is it the ’End-of-the-World Feast’?"

Selena asked.

Sterling sighed slightly, seeing that Selena had guessed it, he didn’t intend to continue hiding it.

He nodded, "Yes."

Selena glared at him, "You weren’t going to tell me unless I guessed it, huh?"

"... ..."

Sterling pursed his lips slightly and did not answer her question.

But Selena knew that this was tantamount to admitting it.

Selena didn’t continue the conversation but instead raised her hand and pinched Sterling’s waist in an angry manner.

Then she stood up from Sterling’s lap.

Seeing Selena was angry, Sterling quickly pulled her back.

"That place is not suitable for you," he said softly.

Selena glanced at him, "Haven’t you witnessed my abilities?"

Sterling sighed, "I have indeed, but in a place like the ’End-of-the-World Feast,’ all kinds of people are present, and I have to ensure you’re perfectly safe."

There are so many talented and unusual people in the world, even someone as strong as Sterling Norwood could not guarantee Selena would come out unscathed at the "End-of-the-World Feast."

Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena suddenly fell silent.

She recalled the time when she suddenly vomited blood in Oakhaven, as if disturbed by something, her body trembled as if in fear.

So, even possessing the Heavenly Master Power, when facing something unfamiliar, she must be careful.

Sterling understood this, which is why he didn’t want her to follow him.

But...

Selena pursed her lips slightly.

She murmured, "You always worry about me, but have you ever thought about whether I might worry about you too?"

After speaking, Selena narrowed her eyes slightly, "I don’t want to be widowed."

Sterling replied immediately without thinking, "Don’t even think about it."

There was no way he would let his wife become a widow.

Hearing Sterling’s words, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Selena’s lips, "Then make sure I won’t worry."

Sterling lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I will."

"I promise you."

Selena, after being kissed and reassured by Sterling, blushed slightly and lowered her head.

And she saw the two pairs of wide-eyed little ones watching them.

The two little ones were quietly and curiously observing the interaction between their parents.

Little Seraphina was fine, without much curiosity, just quietly watching.

But little Celeste was different, her curiosity was so evident that Selena could tell at a glance.

Selena "... ..."

Why were they talking about such things in front of the kids?

Selena, a little embarrassed, buried her head in Sterling’s chest, muttering, "The kids are watching, this is so embarrassing..."

Sterling hugged Selena, seeing the slightly red tips of her ears, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He glanced at the two little ones and gestured for them to be quiet.

Then he looked at Selena, "If you’re embarrassed, shall I carry you back?"

Sterling spoke with a clearly playful tone in his eyes.

Obviously, he enjoyed seeing his wife in such a shy state.

Selena lifted her head from Sterling’s arms, gave him a mock-angry look, then turned to the two little ones, muttering, "Thankfully, they’re still young and won’t remember. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing..."

Sterling softly stroked her hair, "What’s embarrassing about this..."

Selena glared at him, "Which parents get all lovey-dovey in front of their kids..."

Sterling, however, didn’t mind at all and shrugged, "This way, they can feel the harmony of the family. Plus... that little guy could learn from it, otherwise, he won’t even find a wife in the future."

"... ..." Hearing Sterling’s words, Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.

Who gave this guy such confidence to make such outrageous claims?

And he even talks about teaching how to find a wife to a kid just over a month old...
