Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 478 - 477: Shopping Together Again

Silvester Norwood’s voice was somewhat helpless, "It’s fine, don’t mind me, Selena."

After all, it wasn’t his first time.

Selena Kensington couldn’t help but laugh again, then turned to Sterling Norwood, "It’s Chinese New Year in a few days, and there’s a newly popular Festival Market in the city center. Shall we go take a look tomorrow?"

Sterling Norwood would never refuse any of Selena’s requests, especially now that he was all smoothed out and particularly obedient and lazy.

"Sure."

*

The next day at noon, after having lunch, Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood headed out to the Festival Market in the city center.

TODAY, Sterling Norwood was driving, and Selena sat in the passenger seat.

"Let me see what we need to buy..."

After speaking, Selena took out her phone to search.

In previous years, Selena didn’t have to prepare these things, so she was a bit confused about what exactly to buy.

"Spring couplets, lanterns, ’Fu’ characters..."

After searching, Selena noted them down in the memo function of her phone.

Once she finished jotting them down, she put her phone away.

Then she looked over at Sterling Norwood.

When she saw the dark gray scarf wrapped around Sterling’s neck, she said somewhat helplessly, "It’s the afternoon, aren’t you hot?"

Sterling Norwood shook his head slightly, "Not hot."

It was obvious he didn’t want to take the scarf off.

Selena felt a bit helpless but seeing how much Sterling cherished the scarf she knitted, she was also happy.

So, she let him be.

When they arrived at the Festival Market, they discovered the entire street was bustling with a vibrant red atmosphere.

All the goods were displayed on small stalls, and the items were dazzlingly arrayed.

Since it was the Festival Market, and just before New Year, there were plenty of people shopping.

There was a parking lot beside the Festival Market, and Sterling Norwood found a spot to park the car.

"Let’s get out."

"Hold on."

After speaking, Selena took out masks from her bag.

"Put on the mask."

"Okay."

Afterward, the two of them, having donned their masks, were ready to get out of the car.

As Selena stepped out of the car, just as she was about to stretch, she heard a stranger’s startled exclamation beside her, "Watch out!!!!"

Selena was taken aback, and in the next second, she saw Sterling Norwood with a look of urgency and anxiety appear by her side, pulling her away from where she had been.

After being pulled away by Sterling Norwood, Selena still felt a lingering fear.

A car had come to a screeching halt right where she had been standing.

"I’m fine."

Selena reassured Sterling Norwood, gripping his arm tightly to prevent him from suddenly erupting with anger.

After that, Selena saw the driver getting out of the car.

"Young lady, are you okay?"

"I’m really sorry, this is strange, I swear I turned right just now, how did I end up going left..."

The driver apologized while scratching the back of his head quizzically.

Selena slightly tugged at a smile, "I’m fine, just be more careful in the future."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much."

After the driver spoke, Selena took Sterling Norwood and left.

"Just now... was it an interference?"

Selena said.

Yet another ’accident’.

Sterling Norwood’s expression was a bit gloomy, his eyes seemed to be harboring darkness and anger.

Hearing Selena’s words, he nodded slightly, "... I’m sorry."

He had once again let her fall into danger.

If he had been a little later, Sterling Norwood couldn’t imagine what might have happened to Selena.

Selena stopped and looked at Sterling Norwood with focused and earnest eyes, "You don’t have to blame yourself."

"This is my choice too, we’ll face all the consequences together."

Sterling Norwood chose her, transforming her from the role of a sacrificial offering to his wife.

And Selena also chose Sterling Norwood, choosing to accept him and love him.

So, they would face the consequences together.

"...Okay."

Sterling Norwood’s voice was a bit hoarse.

Seeing him like this, Selena didn’t want to go shopping today while looking at his gloomy face.

She pinched the soft flesh at his waist, "Cheer up, you still need to accompany me shopping."

"..."

Speaking of shopping, Sterling Norwood couldn’t help but recall the previous experience in Mirel.

After that, Selena dragged him into the Festival Market.

"Hey, Sterling, this little lantern is so cute..."

"Buy it."

"This ’Fu’ character looks quite good."

"Buy it."

"And this and this, come take a look..."

"Buy it."

"......"

Selena looked helplessly at Sterling Norwood, "I say, can’t you find shopping with me so dull?"

"Can’t you say something other than ’buy it’?"

Sterling Norwood blinked slightly. Didn’t his wife ask him to come along to pay for things and carry stuff?

That’s what the internet said...

No matter what his girlfriend picks, just say it looks good, buy it, and then pay.

Seeing Sterling Norwood’s slightly baffled face, Selena realized she really couldn’t have high expectations for him.

Being willing to accompany her shopping was already quite good.

"Forget it, I can’t expect too much from you."

Afterward, Selena found a bench and sat down.

"Can you go to the dessert stand and buy two ice cream cones?"

There was a dessert stand beside the Festival Market, and after just a bit of shopping, Selena was already feeling a little snacky.

So she playfully asked Sterling Norwood to buy them.

"You can only have one."

Selena continued to be playful, "One for you, one for me."

"No way."

Sterling Norwood turned her down again without mercy.

Selena knew while saying each of them should have one, Sterling Norwood didn’t like sweets.

And Selena had a way of finishing ice creams quickly; Sterling Norwood barely had time to react before she snatched the other cone from his hand.

Saying justifiably, "Aww, Sterling, aren’t you eating? How wasteful."

"It’s okay, I’ll have it for you!"

"..."

In the end, both ice cream cones ended up in Selena’s stomach.

Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena pouted.

"You’re bullying me."

Seeing Selena about to act spoiled and use the pity card again.

Sterling Norwood half-squatted in front of her.

"Just one ice cream. If you want more, we can always buy them later, okay?"

Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena knew he wouldn’t compromise anymore.

Feeling helpless, she nodded in agreement.

Sterling Norwood curved his lips slightly and stood up.

He ruffled Selena’s hair, "Wait here for me."

He then headed to the dessert stand to get ice cream cones for Selena.

Selena watched with a smile as Sterling Norwood walked towards the dessert stand.

Sterling Norwood’s tall and upright posture caught quite a few people’s attention at the dessert stand.

Though he wore a mask, it didn’t stop people from guessing how handsome the face behind it was.

Most of the people going to shop at the dessert stand were young girls in groups, occasionally a young couple.
