Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 886: Chapter 886: Is Mom Really Reliable?

Selena Kensington came down the stairs and saw Hugh Kensington looking around incessantly as soon as he entered through the door, and she knew why he was there so early.

She spoke with some exasperation, "You’re really going all out just to see your nephew."

Hearing Selena’s voice, Hugh looked over.

He shrugged, "Of course, I haven’t seen my nephew for several days."

After saying this, he smiled, "Are they still asleep? I’ll sneak in for a quick look."

Selena clicked her tongue, "Those two little ones woke up earlier than you, go see for yourself."

Little Celeste was up early causing a fuss, and Selena had no choice but to get up and feed her before going back to sleep for a little while longer.

After drinking milk, little Celeste was full of energy with not a hint of sleepiness.

Selena was extremely tired at that moment, and seeing little Celeste bouncing around as if she were unaware of exhaustion, made her feel even more helpless.

Noticing little Seraphina also being woken up by Celeste, Selena immediately felt a sense of shared suffering.

So...

Selena said to little Seraphina, "Little Seraphina, keep an eye on your sister, Mommy’s going to sleep a little longer."

Little Seraphina: "..."

Is Mom really reliable?

Little Seraphina looked at Selena with doubt as she yawned and left the nursery.

And when Hugh heard that the two little ones were already awake, he left his sister and went upstairs to see his nephew.

Selena shouted after him, "Did you have breakfast?"

Hugh waved his hand, "I did."

Selena scoffed and leisurely walked toward the dining room.

When Selena finished breakfast, Grandpa Hope had also returned from his morning walk.

"Grandpa."

Selena called him and then went upstairs with him to see the two little ones in the nursery.

In the nursery, little Celeste giggled nonstop because of Hugh’s teasing.

"My, how is this little girl so full of energy." Selena came over and saw little Celeste still looking wide awake, shaking her head helplessly.

Grandpa Hope chuckled by the side and said, "Little girls do tend to be more rambunctious when they’re young. It might be less noticeable when they grow up..."

After teasing her quite a bit, Hugh got up from his seat.

Selena walked over and bent down to give each of the little ones a goodbye kiss.

She reminded them, "You two must listen to Grandpa well."

After saying this, Selena looked at little Celeste again, "Especially you, little Celeste. Don’t cause trouble for Grandpa."

Little Celeste just laughed heartily at Selena’s words.

For a moment, Selena didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Her daughter was so innocent and lively that she seemed a bit silly.

After saying that, Selena came over.

"Grandpa, we’re leaving now."

Grandpa Hope waved his hand, "Go on, go on. I’ll take care of them."

Hearing Grandpa Hope’s words, Selena nodded.

She and Hugh headed downstairs together.

When they walked out of the main house, Hope Norwood was already waiting for them outside.

Seeing them come out, Hope called out, "Madam, Mr. Kensington."

Selena nodded slightly at her, "Good morning, Hope."

Hugh turned his head to Selena and said, "First, let’s pick up Asa Carter."

"Okay."

Since Hope was there, the task of driving fell on her shoulders.

After picking up Asa, they set off for the neighboring city.

In the car, Hugh took out some scenic development drawings and secret passage maps he got from the site developers.

"This is the full panoramic structure of Evernight City, take a look."

Hugh handed over the drawings, and Selena and Asa each took one to look at.

Looking at the drawings, Selena exclaimed in admiration, "Wow..."

"It seems the developers had quite the ambition from the start."

Hugh looked over in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Selena laid the drawings flat on her lap and pointed to several areas, saying, "Here, here, and here. These designs could effectively disperse crowds. It seems that Evernight City was indeed a hit in the beginning."

Hugh made a sound of acknowledgment, "Four or five years ago, it was indeed one of The Empire’s top ten hottest attractions. Plus, being close to Aethelgard, it attracted many high-spending tourists from Aethelgard. Initially, a show in Evernight City was hard to come by even if you had the money."

"Unfortunately, they only saw the initial success and forgot... enduring success is not a simple task." Asa chimed in with a smile from the side.

Selena nodded.

Hugh remembered what the developers had told him, "Oh, because the place has been unused for over a year, a lot needs cleaning. But the developers eagerly agreed to handle that and even gladly recommended the engineers who were responsible for building and developing the place."

"The engineers should be there waiting for us when we arrive."

Selena nodded. "Alright."

*

The hour-long drive swiftly passed, and the group arrived at the once-thriving attraction, Evernight City.

Standing outside Evernight City, Selena looked at its grand and majestic gate towers, feeling increasingly satisfied within.

Once they arrived, a group of people came over to greet them.

Through the introductions, Selena learned that they were the original construction team of Evernight City.

Then, led by them, Selena and the others roughly toured around Evernight City.

After the tour, Selena had a general idea of which areas needed modification.

As they walked, Selena and Asa shared their ideas with the construction team.

After some discussion, the construction team agreed.

By the time they finished touring Evernight City, it was already afternoon.

"Thank you for the trouble, masters," Selena said with a smile to the construction team.

The construction team felt flattered and quickly waved their hands, "You’re welcome, you’re welcome."

Having personally crafted this attraction, they felt uneasy watching its decline from its glorious beginning.

So they were quite surprised when contacted by the site developers a few days ago.

They even thought they were dreaming.

After all, the place had been deserted for a year, and everyone knew about the losses it had sustained.

Who would buy the place at this time?

Only today, upon seeing Selena and the others, did they realize it wasn’t a dream.

Moreover, the buyer was a significant client.

Selena nodded with a smile, and just as she was about to speak and leave, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow quickly flashing by out of the corner of her eye.

Startled, Selena instinctively looked ahead, "Who’s there?!"
