Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 514: Cousin’s Pursuit of Love

This unleashed the long-repressed desire for control within Silas Sinclair.

Sloane Hawthorne was taken aback, never expecting Silas Sinclair to ask like this.

She slightly pursed her lips, just about to explain.

But in the next moment, she heard Silas Sinclair softly scoff, "Ha—"

Then, Sloane Hawthorne’s arm was suddenly pulled over by Silas Sinclair.

He pressed Sloane Hawthorne against the car door, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.

Originally, he just wanted to bite her as a form of punishment.

But Silas Sinclair seemed to have tasted the sweetness, unwilling to let go of this rare intimacy.

He deepened the kiss.

Sloane Hawthorne was stunned by the sudden kiss, instinctively wanting to break free from Silas Sinclair’s hold.

Silas Sinclair had already anticipated Sloane Hawthorne’s struggle, holding her tightly in his embrace.

Feeling helpless, Sloane Hawthorne could only bite him during his indulgence in the kiss.

"...Hiss."

Sloane Hawthorne showed no mercy, causing Silas Sinclair to release her due to the pain.

Sloane Hawthorne’s eyes were slightly red, her lips moist and alluring, a look that could stir desire in anyone.

Silas Sinclair looked at Sloane Hawthorne and distinctly felt an odd reaction in his body.

He cursed internally, damn it!

Just a kiss was enough to provoke a reaction, truly...

Sloane Hawthorne looked coldly at Silas Sinclair, biting her lips hard, refusing to speak.

Silas Sinclair realized he had momentarily lost control and had forced himself on Sloane Hawthorne.

Yet he didn’t regret his actions, thinking if he didn’t use some force, when would he have the beauty in his arms?!

Noticing Sloane Hawthorne biting her lips so hard that they were about to bleed, Silas Sinclair helplessly warned, "Stop biting, your lips will burst."

He should be thankful Sloane Hawthorne didn’t wipe her lips disdainfully.

Otherwise, Silas Sinclair wasn’t sure if he could remain rational.

Sloane Hawthorne felt a bit stifled inside, unsure whether it was due to Silas Sinclair or herself.

She admitted she did have feelings for Silas Sinclair, but currently, she wasn’t qualified to stand by his side.

He was like The Sun God, high above and dazzling.

Sloane Hawthorne had her principles, her pride exceptionally strong.

She wanted to wait until she reached the pinnacle of her path to the starry avenue before facing her emotions.

She aspired to be worthy of Silas Sinclair through her own efforts.

If they couldn’t be a match made in heaven, then she would strive to match him.

Facing Silas Sinclair’s pursuit, her heart had long been stirred. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But she consistently maintained her rationality, reminding herself to wait.

She didn’t want someday, even if she did grow, to be labeled as achieving everything because of a powerful boyfriend.

Thus, Sloane Hawthorne kept disdaining herself.

Clearly so addicted, yet she had to coldly refuse.

Sloane Hawthorne felt she was being too cheap.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first."

Suppressing her inner thoughts, Sloane Hawthorne said.

Silas Sinclair looked at Sloane Hawthorne’s appearance, unsure if she was angry or not.

Nevertheless, he needed to coax her.

"I just got a bit angry seeing you with other men and impulsively acted..."

Silas Sinclair felt the more he explained, the more complicated it became.

Sloane Hawthorne silently glanced at him.

Seeing the usually aloof commander now in front of her like a boy, unsure how to comfort his girlfriend.

She spoke, "Harvey Vance just sees me as a sister."

When Silas Sinclair heard Sloane Hawthorne speak, he suddenly found his breakthrough.

He looked at Sloane Hawthorne incredulously.

"Are you... explaining to me?!"

Silas Sinclair’s words carried a hint of excitement.

Sloane Hawthorne slightly pursed her lips, not speaking.

Silas Sinclair didn’t mind, moving closer to her.

Sloane Hawthorne squinted her eyes slightly, threatening, "You dare."

For some reason, although Sloane Hawthorne still appeared indifferent.

Silas Sinclair’s mood suddenly improved.

He chuckled, "Why, do you seem to be anticipating me kissing you?"

After speaking, he opened the passenger door beside her.

"...You’re overthinking."

Realizing she misunderstood Silas Sinclair, Sloane Hawthorne felt momentarily embarrassed.

Silas Sinclair didn’t tease her further, retrieving a gift box from the passenger seat.

"For you, a New Year’s gift."

He handed it over.

Initially, he meant to give it to Sloane Hawthorne, but she ignored him, coupled with his busy schedule in The Empire.

So today was his first opportunity.

Sloane Hawthorne was momentarily shocked and didn’t accept it.

Silas Sinclair glanced to the side, then said to Sloane Hawthorne, "You really don’t want it?"

"Those two over there look so much like my cousin and cousin-in-law?"

Silas Sinclair continued.

Sloane Hawthorne was stunned, following Silas Sinclair’s gaze.

She saw Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood approaching the parking lot.

Instinctively, Sloane Hawthorne sat in the opened passenger seat.

"...Ha."

Silas Sinclair chuckled, then walked around to sit in the driver’s seat.

Meanwhile, Selena Kensington was talking and laughing with Sterling Norwood on their approach to the parking lot.

Casually glancing ahead, she saw someone with a back that strongly resembled Sloane Hawthorne getting into a car.

After the person entered, the man beside her also moved to the driver’s seat.

Then the car started and left the parking lot.

Selena Kensington felt puzzled.

"How come that woman’s back looks so much like Sloane?"

She asked.

Sterling Norwood watched the departing car, smiling slightly upon seeing the license plate.

Looks like his cousin has made some progress.

Hearing Selena’s question, he replied, "Perhaps it’s her."

Selena Kensington thought of the questions she had asked Sloane Hawthorne earlier.

Wasn’t the driver Sloane Hawthorne’s boyfriend?

Selena Kensington felt a bit curious.

But now that they were too far, she couldn’t get closer to see.

Thus, Selena Kensington regretfully got into her car.

"Still thinking about it?"

Sterling Norwood asked her.

Selena Kensington slightly shook her head, "Just a bit curious."

"But since Sloane doesn’t say, she naturally has her concerns; she’ll speak when she’s ready."

Selena Kensington trusted and respected Sloane Hawthorne’s decisions.

So she didn’t intend to pry into who Sloane Hawthorne truly liked.

Sterling Norwood chuckled.

Saying nothing, he started the car and drove away.

After Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood left, a figure emerged from near the spot Silas Sinclair had parked just a while ago.

Masked and hooded, the person was concealed within their clothing.

Cautiously checking the surroundings, ensuring no one was around.

Then pulled out a phone and opened the photo album.

The album was filled with photos of Sloane Hawthorne and Silas Sinclair.

Some standing together, some kissing, all in quite suggestive angles.

The person looked at the photos, a hint of malice flickering in their eyes.
