Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 216: Brother Timothy
Cousin...
Timothy Jennings.
"...Hmm, come back early."
"Alright."
After speaking with Sterling Norwood, Selena Kensington drove herself to Stardust Entertainment.
*
Selena Kensington arrived at the café first, ordered a cappuccino, and sat waiting for Timothy Jennings.
When Timothy arrived, he saw Selena stirring her coffee absentmindedly.
Timothy felt a wave of nostalgia as he approached her.
"You haven’t changed; you still like sweet things."
Timothy sighed with emotion.
Selena suddenly looked up and gazed at the person in front of her.
His face gradually overlapped with the person in her memory.
Except he had grown up, becoming more mature and steady.
Selena stood up and embraced him.
"Brother Timothy."
Her voice was filled with longing.
Timothy patted her back, comforting her, "Alright, you’re already a grown woman."
Selena sniffled slightly, her eyes a bit red.
"Can’t a grown woman act spoiled with her brother?"
Selena had never suffered much before; her family pampered her, as did the Jennings family.
Since her rebirth, Selena has always wanted to atone for the mistakes of her past life, so she included Hugh under her wing, trying her best to protect him.
She had forgotten... she too was once someone who was doted upon.
This time meeting Timothy, her older brother.
The long-lost feeling of being cherished came flooding back.
This familial warmth moved her.
"Yes, of course, you can."
Timothy surrendered.
Yet inside, he felt a bit bitter.
His beautiful and enchanting cousin, why must she bear those burdens?
Selena and Timothy sat down.
She called the waiter and ordered a coffee for Timothy.
"Brother Timothy, why are you here this time?"
Timothy sighed, "I just never imagined, after ten years, the little girl back then is now married."
Selena lightly cleared her throat.
"I’ll introduce you to him sometime."
Selena smiled softly, her eyes filled with tender affection.
Seeing the look and movements of Selena, Timothy knew she was willing.
There was no coercion, just wholehearted consent.
"...Alright."
Timothy responded and then suddenly became serious.
"Selie."
He called out, and Selena looked over with confusion.
"You must believe there was a reason we didn’t appear before you these ten years."
"We... didn’t want it this way either."
They had already lost Julian Jennings and Connor Kensington; they could not lose Selena too.
Selena was silent for a moment.
"Brother Timothy, I never blamed you, and I have always believed in you."
"But why did you face everything alone, even if it was for my own good? I am not the kind of girl who enjoys being sheltered."
"Brother Timothy, I’d rather face the danger head-on than live in ignorance."
"..."
Timothy remained silent, not speaking.
Back then, they had indeed intended to keep everything from Selena, to protect her.
However, they had indeed forgotten to ask Selena’s opinion.
They even forgot that Selena was not some helpless girl who only knew how to act coquettishly in the elders’ arms.
"I’m sorry."
Timothy finally said.
But Selena shook her head, "Brother Timothy, I don’t need an apology."
"I just hope that we can face all the dangers together."
"Even if before us lies an abyss."
Timothy was momentarily speechless, not knowing if he felt relief or admiration.
His cousin was truly strong and enchanting.
No wonder even Sterling Norwood couldn’t escape being drawn to her.
