Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 523: Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton in Trouble
She didn’t want to get involved in those conflicts between the society ladies; it was best if everything remained calm.
Afterward, Selena Kensington kept chatting with Vivian Sutton and the others.
It wasn’t until the banquet ended, and she watched the last group of guests leave, that Selena and Sterling Norwood left Aethelgard’s Peak.
*
Once back at The Norwood Estate, Selena couldn’t wait to remove her makeup and change her clothes.
Once everything was done, she walked out of the bathroom, her hair still wet with droplets.
"Come here."
Hearing Sterling’s voice, Selena yawned and leisurely walked over.
Then, the sound of the hairdryer blowing began.
I must say, this hairdryer is quite mesmerizing.
But Selena still couldn’t sleep. After Sterling dried her hair, she turned around and threw herself into his arms.
"Ivy is pregnant."
She said softly.
Sterling’s eyelashes quivered slightly as he heard Selena’s words, "Mm."
He brushed Selena’s hair behind her ear.
Then he lowered his eyes to look at Selena, "Do you want a child?"
Sterling’s eyes were very calm, but Selena noticed a hint of resistance.
"You don’t want one."
She said flatly.
Not as a question, but as a statement.
Sterling sighed slightly and lifted Selena from the sofa, placing her on the edge of the bed.
Then Sterling knelt halfway down in front of Selena.
He touched Selena’s flat belly.
"I don’t mind having children."
"But, that child would absorb the Heavenly Master bloodline within you, you couldn’t withstand it."
Sterling had witnessed the terror of his uncontrollable outbursts, and it was something that even he couldn’t suppress; for a child still in his mother’s belly, it was naturally impossible.
With a beast’s bloodline, dominant and supreme, even though Selena was the mother, he wouldn’t know.
He would only follow his instincts to absorb the Heavenly Master bloodline within Selena, which would be a perfect supplement for him.
"So that’s why you..."
Selena asked in surprise, no wonder Sterling never mentioned it; there were concerns.
"Does this mean we’ll never have children then..."
Selena’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly looked at Sterling.
"Once the ’impact’ is eliminated, it’ll be fine."
Sterling bent down and placed a kiss on her belly through the fabric, "This won’t deprive you of being a mother."
The Heavenly Master bloodline has a fatal attraction to the beast, all because of that curse.
If the Clan of Celestial Masters hadn’t brought about their own demise by angering the beast, in its eyes, they would be just ordinary people.
Impossible to catch the Beast Lord’s attention.
"Okay."
Selena smiled with her eyes.
Then, Sterling urged her to sleep.
While he went into the bathroom.
Just as Selena was about to fall asleep, she heard Sterling’s phone on the nightstand ringing.
She picked it up and saw the note, realizing it was Silvester Norwood.
She pressed to answer.
As soon as the call connected, Silvester’s voice came through, "Brother, just received news, there’s a hostage situation at a shopping mall in the capital of The D-Nation, Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton seem to be inside."
Upon hearing Silvester’s words, Selena’s heart fluttered, "What did you say?!"
She quickly asked.
"...Sister-in-law?!"
Silvester hadn’t expected Selena to answer the call, and to overhear all this...
"Silvester, speak to me properly, what exactly happened?"
As Selena said this, Sterling just came out of the bathroom.
Seeing Selena looking shocked, Sterling hurriedly walked over.
"What happened?"
Selena glanced at Sterling, then pressed the speaker button.
Silvester’s voice came through, "Just now, members of the Hill Family sent word a few kidnappers are holding hostages in a shopping mall in the capital of The D-Nation, they have guns in their hands, and with the number of hostages, it’s difficult for us to rescue them."
"And Hugh and Felicity were last seen at that mall."
Sterling frowned slightly, "What did Fred say."
After all, this event happened on the Hill Family’s territory, it’s impossible that Fred Hill isn’t doing anything.
"Patriarch Fred is preparing to carry out a rescue plan."
Hearing that Hugh and Felicity have become hostages, all of Selena’s sleepiness vanished.
She threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed, "No, I’m worried."
"I want to go and see."
Selena pleaded as she looked at Sterling.
Hugh was now her only family, if anything happened to him, Selena wouldn’t forgive herself.
Sterling pressed his lips slightly, then said to Silvester, "Arrange a private plane."
"Understood."
Then, Sterling hung up the phone.
Hearing Sterling say that he was arranging a private plane, Selena got up quickly to change clothes.
"Calm down, it’ll be fine."
Selena moved in such a hurry, adding more chaos instead.
Sterling had to calm her down first.
Otherwise, if Selena goes to The D-Nation in this state, he’d be more worried about her.
"...Alright."
Afterward, Sterling and Selena headed to the airport.
An hour later, they took a private plane from Aethelgard’s airport to the capital of The D-Nation.
*
On the plane, Selena remained anxious, yet despite using the fastest route, it would still take several hours to reach The D-Nation.
Sterling feared Selena would wear herself out even before seeing Hugh.
After all, these past few days Selena had been tirelessly busy with the Norwood Family’s banquet, without a chance to rest properly.
She thought today she could finally sleep well, but didn’t expect this matter to disrupt her plans.
"Sleep for a while."
Sterling let Selena lie down on the long seat, while he watched over her.
"...I can’t sleep."
Without any news of Hugh and Felicity’s safety, Selena found it impossible to sleep.
Sterling glanced at her, "If you don’t sleep, how will you hold out to see your brother."
Listening to Sterling’s advice, Selena finally relaxed a bit.
"Then I’ll sleep for a bit."
She had to hold on until she met Hugh and Felicity.
Before that, she couldn’t collapse.
"Mm, I’ll watch over you."
After Sterling soothed Selena to sleep, he got up and moved to another cabin.
Inside, Silvester was already there.
"Have the Hill Family sent any updates?"
Sterling asked as soon as he entered.
Silvester nodded, "The Hill Family reported that the hostage situation was orchestrated by several criminals from The Southern Reach, they were hunted down by local forces, and remaining members wanted to cause a stir before their demise."
