Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 196: Candidness
The pair of eyes that were originally fierce now looked at her ’innocently’.
"..."
Do you know you’re breaking the rules!
You’re a beast! Why are you so good at acting cute?!
Though she thought this in her heart, Selena Kensington instinctively squatted down and stroked its head.
The texture was surprisingly pleasant.
Selena immediately fell in love.
She looked up at Sterling Norwood with excitement in her voice, "Sterling, what’s going on here?"
Generally, aren’t wild beasts in the primeval forest the most wild and uncontrollable creatures?
How is this one so obedient and good at acting cute?
"Qiongqi is the leader of the Vile Beasts from ancient times. It combines the traits of a Celestial God, monster, and villain, symbolizing evil, representing the most wicked of things."
"At the same time, it’s also the Lord of All Beasts. With my aura on you, it naturally wants to be close to you."
"So amazing?"
Selena’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this fantastic storyline, only found in books, becoming reality one day?
"This is the secret of the bloodline in my body."
Sterling Norwood continued.
While petting the leopard, Selena listened to him.
"The Qiongqi bloodline is domineering and evil, but because it has the cause and effect of the Celestial God, it’s exceptionally prosperous... The Norwood Family has thrived for a thousand years, standing strong in The Empire."
"What about the branches of the Norwood Family..."
Selena tentatively asked.
"The families that served Qiongqi merged into the Norwood Family as branches a thousand years ago."
Selena was somewhat shocked.
No wonder the branches of the Norwood Family were so respectful and obedient to the main lineage.
After witnessing the people of Westport’s worship of Lark Mayfield, Selena suddenly understood this kind of reverence and belief.
It’s truly powerful and incomprehensible.
"I’m the strongest inheritor of the Qiongqi bloodline in a hundred years, but I’ve also inherited many of its traits..."
Such as, evil, brutality, bloodthirstiness.
"More than ten years ago, I lost control for the first time at a Norwood Family banquet, and I killed more than ten members of high society..."
At that time, he seemed to be only a teenager, the blood and the screams of those people’s fear stimulating his senses...
"That’s why they call me a ’monster’."
When Sterling Norwood spoke these words, his gaze was indifferent, as if he didn’t care.
Selena got up, stood on her tiptoes.
And covered his ears.
"This way, you won’t hear it."
She said with full attention.
Sterling Norwood didn’t care about how others gossiped.
To him, it made no difference.
Even as a monster, he was enough to make them tremble with fear.
But Sterling Norwood cared greatly about Selena’s actions.
He let out a soft ’Mm’.
His tone was full of delight.
Thanks to Sterling Norwood’s confession today, Selena felt much more at ease.
She wanted to understand him better, but he was too mysterious to her.
Because Sterling Norwood voluntarily confessed, Selena was naturally pleased.
After giving the leopard another stroke, Selena reluctantly said, "Ah, I wonder when I’ll see you again."
"Awoo?"
The wild leopard tilted its head slightly. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Do you like it? Take it up with you then."
Sterling Norwood said.
But Selena shook her head, "The jungle is still more suitable for it."
Selena didn’t want to strip away the wildness in the leopard; it was better suited to joyfully running in the jungle.
"I’ll call you Awoo from now on, and I’ll come to see you occasionally."
Awoo seemed to understand her words, letting out several ’Awoo Awoo~’ sounds.
Afterward, Selena followed Sterling Norwood out.
"What you said before, does it still count?"
Sterling Norwood suddenly asked.
Selena was still a bit puzzled at first, but when she turned her head and saw the anticipation and anxiety in Sterling Norwood’s eyes, she immediately understood.
"Of course."
She had said that after finishes filming, they would make it public.
