Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 508: Husbands Are for Warming the Bed
Selena Kensington nodded, then forcibly dragged Sterling Norwood back to the main residence.
Sterling Norwood felt conflicted internally, thinking he shouldn’t be listening to Selena Kensington so easily, yet he followed her without any resistance.
*
Once they returned to the main residence, Selena Kensington finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She entered the main house and asked the butler.
"Grandfather hasn’t woken up, has he?"
The butler shook his head slightly, "The old gentleman has been resting in the attic."
After speaking, the butler looked at Sterling Norwood with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Why does it feel like the Family Head came back from an outing, and he’s changed completely?
Selena Kensington nodded slightly, "Got it."
As long as Sterling Norwood’s grandfather hasn’t woken up, it’s better this way; otherwise, he’d be worried if he learned about Sterling’s situation.
After all, the elderly man is old now, and some things are better left unknown to him, to avoid making him worry.
After that, Selena Kensington pulled Sterling Norwood upstairs.
Having been highly tense due to Sterling Norwood’s situation all along, it exhausted her quickly.
Now, the moment she relaxed, fatigue seeped in.
"Stay with me and sleep."
"...?"
Sterling Norwood watched as Selena Kensington walked into the bedroom and threw her jacket onto the sofa, then prepared to walk to the bed.
He was puzzled for a moment.
Did she bring him back just so he could sleep with her?
Was this how she viewed him?
Sterling Norwood voiced this question.
Selena Kensington heard him, yawned,
"A husband is for warming the bed, isn’t he?"
"Save your breath, I’m really tired."
After saying this, Selena Kensington ignored Sterling Norwood and climbed directly into the bed.
Anyway, she had already brought Sterling Norwood back, she couldn’t care less about the rest.
She didn’t pamper him.
"..."
Sterling Norwood approached the bed in disbelief, looking at Selena Kensington wrapped in the covers with just her head sticking out.
Was she really going to ignore him like this?
Sterling Norwood suddenly felt a bit irritated by Selena Kensington’s disregard.
He nudged Selena Kensington slightly.
Selena Kensington slightly opened her eyes, her voice soft and a bit hoarse, "Don’t bother me, sleep or don’t."
Then she moved to the side, making space for Sterling Norwood.
Seeing that Selena Kensington really wasn’t going to pay him any mind, Sterling Norwood felt somewhat annoyed.
Instinctively, his hand touched the spot he had just slept on, which still retained a bit of warmth.
This place was where he and his wife lay together.
The familiar feeling stirred a sudden desire within Sterling Norwood.
He succumbed to his body’s natural response and lay down on the bed.
As soon as he lay down, Selena Kensington smoothly rolled over into Sterling Norwood’s embrace.
Instinctively, he lifted his hands.
This gesture felt too intimate for him.
As the Lord of the Vicious Beasts, when had he ever been this close to anyone?
He lowered his gaze, looking at Selena Kensington’s profile and hair swirl.
She looked as though she wanted to curl up entirely in his arms.
Especially her face, pressed against his chest.
The warm breath she exhaled made him feel a peculiar sensation.
Sterling Norwood paused briefly, finally lowering his lifted hands.
He embraced Selena Kensington.
Realizing his actions, Selena Kensington, though her eyes remained shut, couldn’t help but smile slightly.
*
Selena Kensington slept extraordinarily deeply.
It was Sterling Norwood who eventually woke her up.
"Ugh..."
She opened her eyes.
Staring at Sterling Norwood before her, Selena Kensington was stunned.
Seeing that the redness in his eyes had faded, she hesitantly called out, "Sterling?"
Sterling Norwood placed a hand on her head, soothing her.
"I’m here."
He said.
His voice was supremely gentle, making Selena Kensington instantly certain.
Sterling Norwood was back to normal.
"I made you worry."
He bent down and planted a kiss on Selena Kensington’s forehead.
Selena Kensington chuckled and sat up.
"Let’s see if you’ll dare not acknowledge your wife next time."
She huffed lightly.
Her tone was very proud.
Sterling Norwood couldn’t help but laugh at Selena Kensington’s demeanor while gently coaxing her, "I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare."
Seeing Sterling Norwood so obedient, Selena Kensington decided not to tease him further.
So she got up to wash up.
After she finished freshening up, she realized the outside had already turned dark.
"It’s dark already?"
Selena Kensington exclaimed in surprise.
Sterling Norwood sat on the sofa by the bed waiting for Selena Kensington.
Upon hearing her, he nodded slightly.
Actually, Sterling Norwood had been awake for a while but seeing Selena Kensington looking so tired, he didn’t have the heart to wake her.
Later on, as it grew darker outside and Selena Kensington still showed no signs of waking up.
Sterling Norwood was worried she’d be hungry, so he decided to wake her.
Selena Kensington touched her empty stomach.
"Let’s go eat then, I’m hungry."
Sterling Norwood stood up from the sofa, came over, and put an arm around Selena Kensington’s waist, "Let’s go."
Before he came to wake Selena Kensington, he had already instructed the kitchen staff to prepare dinner.
So when Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood went downstairs, dinner was served.
After eating to her heart’s content, Selena Kensington pulled Sterling Norwood to the couch in the living room to watch a show.
However, as soon as she clicked on ’XX Apartment,’ Selena Kensington realized something.
"Ah!"
She exclaimed in a low voice.
This exclamation drew Sterling Norwood’s attention.
Selena Kensington hurriedly grabbed Sterling Norwood’s arm, saying, "I had a feeling something was off."
"I have something to tell you."
Originally, she intended to tell Sterling Norwood about this matter after he returned from training camp, but she hadn’t expected the incident, and in the chaos, she forgot what she intended to tell him.
"What?"
Sterling Norwood raised his eyebrows slightly.
Selena Kensington continued, "Tomorrow!... No, tomorrow we need Dr. Norwood to check you up."
"The day after tomorrow then..."
Selena Kensington mumbled to herself for a while, then said to Sterling Norwood, "How about we go on a date the day after tomorrow?"
"Sure."
Sterling Norwood chuckled silently, so this was the reason.
Selena Kensington continued, "Tomorrow, let’s have Dr. Norwood come and check you out."
Although Sterling Norwood seemed fine now, Selena Kensington still felt uneasy, so she wanted Dr. Norwood to examine him.
Sterling Norwood knew that without Dr. Norwood’s check-up, Selena Kensington would be restless.
To reassure her, he nodded, "Whatever you want."
After expressing this, Selena Kensington felt the weight that had been lingering on her mind finally lifted.
She leaned on Sterling Norwood’s shoulder, pulled out her phone, and started browsing movies from this year’s New Year releases.
"...Hmm?"
After scrolling for a bit, Selena Kensington suddenly noticed a familiar name.
The lead in a suspenseful film was Harvey Vance.
"Is this starring Harvey Vance?"
Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow slightly.
She wasn’t Harvey Vance’s manager and knew even less about him than Sloane Hawthorne.
So, upon seeing Harvey Vance in the lead of a suspense film, Selena Kensington was genuinely curious.
"Let’s watch this tomorrow."
Selena Kensington showed Sterling Norwood the film introduction on her phone.
