Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 701: They’re Your Kids Too

At that time, Yvonne Norwood received high praise.

Even some highly esteemed pianists couldn’t help but comment on Yvonne’s piano playing.

They said that as long as she stayed true to her original intention and kept moving forward, the achievements she would eventually reap would definitely surpass theirs.

And at that time, she was only fifteen years old.

Unfortunately, in the end, Yvonne still couldn’t overcome her own psychological hurdle.

Selena Kensington couldn’t help but ask, "What if there’s an exception?"

"No, there won’t be."

Sterling Norwood replied decisively.

But little did they know if Selena’s casual remark would actually come true when their child was born.

And afterward, Sterling couldn’t have expected that the most humiliating slap to his face would come from this very statement.

However, for now, they were unaware of what would happen in the future.

After answering Selena, Sterling stood up from beside Selena.

"Their talent won’t be lacking, but if you continue to show such excessive concern for them, I can’t guarantee I won’t get jealous."

Sterling said seriously.

Selena looked at Sterling’s calm expression as he admitted his jealousy, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Wow, you’ve become so calm about being jealous now."

In the past, Sterling would instinctively deny it or remain silent even if she called him out.

But now, not only could he openly admit to being jealous, he did it so calmly.

This clearly showed that Sterling had grown much thicker skin.

"Why are you competing with the kids? They’re your children too."

Selena blinked her eyes and said with a smile.

Sterling continued with a straight face, "They are indeed my children, but they should also know that only I get to sleep with you, only I get to help you change clothes, and can..."

Sterling hadn’t finished speaking when Selena, her face tinged with a hint of blush, hurriedly covered his mouth with her hand.

Seeing Sterling innocently blinking his eyes, Selena gritted her teeth slightly and said, "Shut up!"

"No more talking!"

After she said these words, the blush on her face intensified.

This guy doesn’t hold back at all! How can he say such things in front of the kids!

Even though the two little ones in her belly wouldn’t understand or feel anything, Selena always felt their presence.

Thus, even when she was alone, she would consider it as the three of them ’being alone’ together.

Sterling blinked again, raising both his hands to signal his surrender.

Only then did Selena release her hold on his mouth.

Selena’s face was still a little flushed, probably because she felt embarrassed by Sterling’s earlier words.

Coupled with her tender white skin, her face inexplicably resembled a ripe peach at that moment.

Tempting, delectable.

Sterling’s throat turned a little hoarse, feeling unexpectedly parched.

Without holding back, he leaned down to kiss her.

Selena was taken aback by the sudden kiss.

Though Sterling kissed her with some urgency and impatience, as if a domineering aura suddenly overwhelmed her.

But once he felt her response, the kiss gradually became gentle and tender.

After a long kiss, Selena caught her breath with small shallow gasps.

She raised her head and saw Sterling looking at her with deep eyes.

His gaze was still as tender and lingering as before, but Selena always felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

Behind that gaze lurked a heavy desire.

By now, Selena naturally understood the meaning of that look from Sterling.

She shrank back slightly.

"No!"

Then she straightforwardly rejected Sterling.

"...Why?"

Sterling asked in a hoarse voice.

"It’s been more than three months already..."

As she said this, there was a hint of grievance in her hoarse voice.

As if complaining why after such a long time, she still couldn’t have some satisfaction.

Seeing Sterling’s slightly wronged expression, especially with that face that softened her heart, Selena was already a bit swayed inside.

But she still felt somewhat embarrassed in her heart, she didn’t want to do it in front of the two kids...

Even though the two kids wouldn’t know it either.

Yet Selena just felt uncomfortable.

So she refused again, "No!"

But this time her tone was much softer than before.

Looking at the slightly bowed head and the now silent Sterling, her heart softened a bit more, she gently coaxed, "Just bear with it for a few more months, then after the kids are born, I’ll make it up to you, okay?"

When Sterling heard her words, his eyes lit up, a satisfied smile flashed across his eyes.

But since he kept his head bowed, Selena didn’t see this scene.

Otherwise, she would have definitely jumped up and accused Sterling of scheming against her.

"Really?"

Sterling seemed to cautiously ask.

After asking, he added another unsure sentence, "When that time comes, everything follows what I say?"

Originally sensing something amiss, Selena, looking at Sterling’s seemingly fragile face and those cautious eyes and words, immediately nodded without thinking.

"Okay."

"I’ll listen to you."

What Selena didn’t know was that she would regret the promise she made at this moment so much later on.

Upon hearing Selena’s assurance, Sterling could barely suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Fearing Selena would notice something and immediately turn against him, Sterling quickly controlled his smile.

He let out a small sigh and gently placed a hand on Selena’s belly, "You two have really troubled your dad quite a bit..."

"Pff!"

Selena couldn’t help but laugh seeing Sterling like this.

With this interruption, Selena had forgotten to delve deeper into the meaning behind Sterling’s earlier words.

She informed Sterling about Roxanne Sutton and Sidney Dalton’s situation.

"...Roxanne Sutton has already made contact with Sidney Dalton, and I’ve also reached out to Lark Mayfield. I’ll go with them tomorrow to check it out. If we can subdue Sidney Dalton and effortlessly get the safe, that would be ideal."

Selena roughly explained the situation to Sterling.

Sterling nodded slightly, "Okay."

He knew this matter had been something Selena kept in her heart, so he didn’t stop her.

Selena couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t you seem worried at all?"

Sterling slowly responded, "Though Lark Mayfield is proud, she indeed has the capital for her pride. Her eye abilities have cultivated to an extraordinary level, with her around, your goal will be achieved."

Selena blinked, Sterling rarely affirmed people, if Lark Mayfield received his affirmation, then she could rest assured.

"The Mayfield family has such special eyes, why don’t I see any special ability in you?"

Selena asked with a smile.

Though speed, strength, and enhanced physique were all gifts from the exotic bloodline imbued in Sterling.
