Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 395: Awakening

It is said that Sterling Norwood did not continue to ask, "Let Hope accompany you."

"Okay."

Selena Kensington responded briefly and suddenly raised her hand.

She placed her fingers on Sterling Norwood’s face, gently stroking it, and suddenly laughed, "Sterling, you seem to have not been angry for a long time..."

Sterling Norwood paused, his eyes slightly darkened.

He replied vaguely, "...Really, I haven’t noticed..."

Selena Kensington said seriously, "Yes, I’m telling you, you can do it."

"Hmm."

Sterling Norwood turned over and embraced her in his arms.

"Sleep."

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington also felt a bit sleepy.

Selena Kensington fell asleep in a daze.

Once she was sound asleep, Sterling Norwood suddenly opened his eyes.

In the silent darkness, only a sliver of moonlight shining through the curtains provided a hint of brightness.

In his deep blue eyes, a strange red light flashed.

Indeed, he had not had an episode for quite a while.

Rather than saying he was gradually improving, it was more like he was adapting to the awakening process.

At the age of seven, he walked through the family’s ancient and mysterious long path.

He dreamed of the place of inheritance.

In the dream, he received those ancient, grand, and brilliant memories.

From then on, though his appearance remained as a seven-year-old, his psychological age had long been indefinable...

Over the past ten or so years, he forced himself to seal those memories.

All to delay his awakening.

Until recently, as the ancient blood in his body began to deplete.

The will of a great beast hidden within seemed to awaken, forcefully breaking through the shackles of memory, releasing those ancient memories hidden deep within him.

In that instant, Sterling Norwood was once again forced to receive those grand memories.

However, this time was much better than when he was seven. Back then, he fell into a coma for a full half a month after receiving those memories.

But this time, it was just his brain that suffered a shock.

Through the dense fog, he seemed to stand in the Ancient Times.

He stood before the Lord of the Vicious Beasts, filled with bloody, violent killing intent.

Watching it accept the submission and kneeling of all the fierce and fell beasts.

He saw it standing high above, indifferently accepting those reverent and passionate gazes.

Its eyes, as if soaked in blood, slightly narrowing would trigger panic and submission among the beasts below.

At that moment, he understood.

The blood flowing within him was noble and domineering from the Ancient Times.

For them, the skies and earth were not constraints.

Let alone a small curse, right?

He loved her, so even though their bloodline did not permit it, even though there was a curse between them.

What is there to fear?

Therefore, he no longer resisted the awakening of the bloodline within him, but instead followed the instinctive will. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Gradually waiting for the complete awakening.

And the subsequent actions proved that his approach was correct.

The next day, Selena Kensington, Hugh Kensington, and Hope Norwood went to the neighboring city.

Following the investigation by Lea Dutton, they arrived at an apartment building where Miranda Kensington was residing.

Hugh Kensington went to knock on the door while Selena Kensington waited in the car for him to return.

After waiting for a while, she saw Hugh Kensington come back with a furrowed brow.

Hugh Kensington got back in the car.

"Sis, the people here say that Miranda Kensington moved out three days ago."

"Moved out?"

Indeed... Miranda Kensington got a large sum of money, how could she possibly continue living in this place?

"Where should we go first now?"

Selena Kensington thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps someone knows where Miranda Kensington is..."

Halfway through, Selena Kensington turned and met Hugh Kensington’s gaze.

The two said in unison, "Aunt!"

After speaking, Selena Kensington laughed first, "Not bad, the tacit understanding hasn’t faded!"

Hugh Kensington also chuckled.

Afterwards, Selena Kensington pulled out her phone, searched for a location, and handed it to Hope Norwood.

"Hope, go to this place."

"Yes, ma’am."

The three of them then headed to Cassia Lawson’s old home.

Earlier, Selena Kensington and the others headed to the countryside village in the neighboring city.

To Cassia Lawson’s old home.

Reaching the entrance of the village, they got out of the car.

"Sis, look..."

Just as they entered the village entrance, Hugh Kensington called out.

Selena Kensington looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cassia Lawson pulling Miranda Kensington not wanting her to leave.

"Miranda Kensington was actually brought back by Aunt?"

Selena Kensington was somewhat surprised.

"Seems like Aunt still has some tricks up her sleeve..."

Hugh Kensington laughed, then lifted his foot to head towards Cassia Lawson’s home.

At that moment, Cassia Lawson was exerting effort to pull Miranda Kensington.

Cassia Lawson grew up doing tough chores, and although she had lived a life of luxury over the past ten years, returning to the countryside revived her old strength.

Her grip on Miranda Kensington’s arm was unequivocal.

Miranda Kensington did not expect her mother to be so fearsome, she protested and struggled, "Mom, I really don’t want to stay here, please let me go back..."

Earlier, after everything had ended, she originally intended to take the money given by Catherine Blanchett and live a good life.

But not long after indulging herself, Cassia Lawson personally found her and brought her back.

Cassia Lawson had chastised her and forbade her from going out again.

How could Miranda Kensington possibly bear this?

She couldn’t bear staying in this place.

"Don’t even think about going out again! Haven’t you had enough of the previous lesson?!"

Cassia Lawson was determined not to let Miranda Kensington go out again.

She had certainly grown bold, daring to take Catherine Blanchett’s money to frame Selena Kensington.

Previously, when Cassia Lawson heard the news, she was startled; then, she hurried to the city.

She had to bring Miranda Kensington back and look after her.

Miranda Kensington complained, "This time there wasn’t anything. Look, nobody..."

Halfway through speaking, Miranda Kensington abruptly stopped.

She seemed to have seen something and stopped struggling, instead hiding behind Cassia Lawson.

"Mom, Mom, they’re here..."

Cassia Lawson, slightly puzzled, looked over and saw three people approaching.

Cassia Lawson was momentarily stunned.

Then she subconsciously called out, "Selie..."

Selena Kensington laughed, "Aunt, can we come in and sit?"

Upon hearing Selena Kensington’s words, Miranda Kensington trembled, "No, we can’t!!"

Unfortunately, Selena Kensington ignored her completely.

Cassia Lawson sighed, "Come in, all of you."

"Mom!!!"

Miranda Kensington cried out in disbelief.

Cassia Lawson glared at her, "Make sure to apologize to your cousin later!!!"

Miranda Kensington instinctively retorted, "She is not my cousin!!!"

Cassia Lawson reprimanded her, "Don’t be ridiculous!!!"

Meanwhile, Selena Kensington thoughtfully glanced back at Miranda Kensington.

Cassia Lawson let them sit and urged Miranda Kensington to bring over the tea cups.

Miranda Kensington grudgingly left.

"Selie, I’m really sorry about the past... I didn’t know Miranda would be so bold..." Cassia Lawson sighed.
