Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 894: Chapter 894: Selena Suddenly Feels a Bit Jealous

Although Liam Irving is not part of the Norwood Family branch, with his talent and capability, he is sure to gain recognition from the Norwood Family’s main line...

Moreover, if Liam Irving performs outstandingly in the training camp and completes all assessments, he might likely take over Spencer Norwood’s role and become the Commander of the camp.

Selena Kensington is, after all, Celeste’s mother, and naturally wants to give her the best of everything.

So, if someone like Liam Irving can accompany and protect Celeste, Selena would certainly feel much more at ease.

As for whether any sparks might fly between the two?

Selena didn’t worry about that; she has always been open-minded about such things.

Love, when it comes, it comes.

Whether your heart flutters or not, it simply exists.

That’s why when Selena realized she had feelings, she readily acknowledged them.

She doesn’t have the time or energy to guess; love is love.

Besides, they’re just two little kids for now.

To understand these things, they would probably need at least another decade.

With this thought, Selena’s gaze at Liam Irving became increasingly gentle.

Liam Irving "..."

Perhaps due to his life experiences, Liam Irving is exceptionally sensitive to everything around him.

So, the moment Selena’s gaze slightly changed, Liam noticed it.

He had long mastered the art of hiding everything, wearing a mask to disguise himself.

But for some reason...

Liam Irving lowered his head slightly and met Celeste’s clear eyes.

Pure, pristine, without a trace of impurity.

Like the moon in the sky, like the stars above.

Making the mask he’s worn for so long begin to show cracks, little by little.

Liam Irving pressed his lips and chose to remain silent.

A closer look would reveal a rare hint of bewilderment on his face.

Selena saw Liam Irving standing there, holding Celeste for a long time, and worried he might get tired, she extended her hand and said, "Tired from holding her? Give her to me."

Liam Irving looked at Selena’s outstretched hand with a faint thought of reluctance.

He didn’t want to return her.

When this thought crossed his mind, Liam was startled.

Fortunately, he maintained his composure, outwardly appearing calm and collected.

He buried that strange thought deep within himself.

Then he gently handed Celeste over.

Celeste seemed to sense something and tightly clung to Liam Irving’s sleeve, unwilling to let go.

When she saw her mother extending her hand, she suddenly began to babble loudly.

Selena was startled by Celeste’s sudden action.

She noticed that Celeste seemed very reluctant to return to her arms and quickly spoke.

"Okay, okay, I won’t hold you, you just stay obediently in this brother’s arms, alright?!"

Selena spoke helplessly.

Who does this daughter take after?!...

Once again, Selena’s heart questioned.

In any case, she wouldn’t admit she takes after her!

Seeing Selena retract her hand, Celeste seemed to confirm the crisis was over and nestled back into Liam Irving’s arms.

"..." Selena suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy.

This little girl was indeed clever, knowing how to work things to her advantage...

And Selena couldn’t very well lecture a one-month-old baby, as their comprehension is limited.

So Selena could only look helplessly at Liam Irving.

"I’m sorry, little Liam, it seems Celeste really likes you. Could you hold her a bit longer?"

Selena felt a bit embarrassed saying this.

Liam Irving nodded slightly.

Inwardly, he repeated Celeste’s name to himself.

Celeste...

Later, Selena couldn’t bear it any longer and had Liam Irving sit on the seat beside her.

Selena looked at Celeste, who wouldn’t leave Liam Irving’s embrace, and said with some exasperation, "Who taught you such tantrum tactics? How are you so skilled at making a fuss!..."

"Babble?" Celeste tilted her head in confusion, obediently uttering a sound.

Selena "..."

Seeing Celeste’s adorable demeanor, Selena sighed softly.

"Lucky for you, your dad isn’t here, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to explain this to him."

How would she explain to Sterling Norwood?

Would she say the child she brought back, even his daughter got snatched away and is now clinging to someone else?

Sterling Norwood would probably go ballistic...

What Selena didn’t know was that sometimes things happen as soon as they’re mentioned.

While Selena was watching Celeste helplessly, Sterling Norwood arrived.

It was Hope Norwood beside her who softly reminded her, "Madam, the Family Head is here."

Hearing Hope Norwood’s reminder, Selena was startled.

She looked at Celeste, who was still nesting in Liam Irving’s arms and showed no signs of sleepiness, feeling a little overwhelmed as she turned her head.

As Sterling Norwood walked in.

"Why are you still here?" Sterling Norwood frowned slightly.

He thought his wife would just take a look and then come to find him, so he specifically told the guards outside to let her come directly to him if she arrived.

But even after Sterling Norwood and Spencer Norwood finished their conversation, Selena still hadn’t come to find him.

Sterling Norwood couldn’t wait any longer and came over himself.

"...cough." Selena coughed lightly, feeling a bit guilty.

Sterling Norwood noticed her demeanor and saw that she wasn’t holding Celeste, making him narrow his eyes, "Where’s Celeste."

A quick flash of danger passed through his words, caught by Selena.

So she quickly grabbed Sterling Norwood’s hand, "Listen to me, don’t get upset."

"Here’s what happened... cough..."

Seeing Sterling’s increasingly tense expression, to prevent him from further speculating, Selena gritted her teeth and recounted the events to Sterling Norwood truthfully.

Listening to Selena, Sterling Norwood remained silent for a long time.

Selena was also worried about what Sterling Norwood might do, so she firmly held onto him.

After his silence, Sterling Norwood looked up behind Selena.

And then he saw Liam Irving holding Celeste.

At that moment, Liam Irving was also looking at Sterling Norwood, with a hint of vigilance and fierceness in his eyes.

Sterling Norwood noticed Liam Irving’s gaze, chuckled dismissively, and withdrew his gaze.

He lowered his head, looking helplessly at his wife clutching his hand tightly.

"I won’t do anything, you don’t need to be so nervous."

Was his wife really treating him like some sort of terrifying beast?

Selena was skeptical of his words and, unsure, asked again, "You really won’t do anything?"

Seeing the doubt in Selena’s eyes, Sterling Norwood resignedly nodded again, "I won’t."
