Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 705: Shall We Watch a Parenting Show Together?

"Let’s go."

Lark said coldly.

This time, Sidney had no resistance. He obediently followed Lark’s words and left the seat first.

"Aren’t you coming?"

Lark glanced at the stunned Roxanne.

Listening to Lark’s cold tone, Roxanne immediately snapped back to reality, "Coming... coming!"

After saying this, Roxanne felt a lingering fear.

Because this was the first time she had seen Lark like this.

Aura fully opened, as lofty as a queen.

Roxanne quickly followed behind Lark.

Lark glanced at Selena, "Wait for me at the Norwood Family."

Selena had no objection to her decision and nodded.

As a pregnant woman, going there might add to their burden.

So Selena initially didn’t plan on going.

But she was curious about Lark’s earlier words.

What did she discover just now?

But since it was such a short time, Selena hadn’t figured it out yet when Lark had already taken Roxanne and left the cafe.

She frowned slightly, and eventually left the cafe and returned to the main residence.

*

Selena had just returned to the main residence when she saw Sterling enter.

As he walked in, he stretched out his hand and loosened his tie.

Seeing this, Selena walked over.

She stood in front of Sterling, skillfully helping him untie his tie.

Sterling lowered his eyes, his expression gentle, "Why are you back so soon?"

"Lark controlled Sidney, so I didn’t go for the rest of the plan and waited for them to return."

Selena removed Sterling’s tie.

And opened the top button of his shirt.

Slightly revealing his fair neck and the protruding collarbone.

Selena was briefly tempted by his beauty.

She tiptoed and kissed Sterling’s collarbone.

Sterling watched her movements, his throat feeling slightly parched.

But ultimately, he didn’t stop her.

After Selena kissed and stepped back, he gently touched her hair, his gaze warm, his words softly affectionate: "Wait for me in the living room for a moment, I’ll go change clothes."

"Okay."

Selena’s eyes curved as she smiled and agreed.

After Sterling went upstairs, Selena obediently sat on the living room sofa, waiting for him to come find her.

Sterling just went upstairs and changed into casual home clothes before coming down.

When Sterling approached and sat beside her, Selena couldn’t help but pull his arm and talk about Lark’s peculiar reaction earlier.

"Did Lark go through something besides being chased?"

"Is it related to Sidney... or Godsbane?"

Initially, Selena only suspected Sidney, but Lark had met Sidney before. If it were related to Sidney, Lark wouldn’t have let him go back then.

Considering her obvious killing intent today.

If it’s not related to Sidney, Selena directed her suspicions towards Godsbane behind Sidney.

Sterling narrowed his eyes, then looked at Selena, "What do you mean?"

"When she controlled Sidney, it seemed like she discovered something, suddenly fully revealing her aura..."

Selena roughly described the scene to Sterling.

After speaking, she leaned on Sterling’s shoulder and quietly asked, "...She also asked me to tell her all about Sidney’s identity when she returns."

"..."

Sterling didn’t immediately answer Selena’s question, frowning slightly.

"I remember, the Mayfield family’s closure decree started after Lark returned to the Mayfield family."

Though young, Lark was mature in her mindset.

Moreover, in the Mayfield family, nobody had talents like hers.

After Lark returned, she quickly rose to the position of Family Head.

And the closure decree was enacted after she officially became the Family Head.

"I suspect Lark’s parents were captured by Godsbane’s people. They were taken to provide blood for experiments, and it’s likely that there’s someone in Godsbane with abilities similar to those of the Mayfield family."

"And perhaps that person also influenced Sidney. That’s why Lark reacted strongly while controlling Sidney; there’s a pull between bloodlines."

Sterling spoke calmly.

Selena was puzzled, "Are you sure Lark reacted like that because she felt the bloodline pull?"

Sterling smiled and pinched her cheek, "The ties between Fell Beasts’ descendants are much deeper than for ordinary people. For them, their kin and partners are everything."

For someone as cold-hearted as Lark, only the familiar feeling from deep within the bloodline could provoke such a strong response.

Selena felt somewhat worried. If this were true, it would be troublesome.

Previously, Lark seemed unaware of Godsbane.

If she discovered Godsbane’s matters, she wouldn’t just talk normally with them anymore.

Sterling noticed Selena’s concern and pulled her into his embrace, "Don’t worry. If it’s true, she might seek our collaboration. Lark could even provide us with some clues."

Since the information they possessed might be far greater than Lark’s.

Selena nestled in his arms, listening to Sterling’s words. Her previously complex emotions gradually calmed down.

Her heart slowly returned to peace.

She responded quietly and asked no further questions.

Selena obediently leaned into Sterling’s embrace.

And Sterling adjusted his position to let Selena rest comfortably.

Lark wouldn’t be back soon, and Selena gradually felt sleepy in Sterling’s arms.

She slowly yawned.

Sterling lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Do you want to nap?"

Selena initially wanted to nod, but she saw the LCD TV in front of her.

Instantly, she forced herself to change her mind, "No, let’s watch TV."

So she turned on the TV, flipping channels while saying: "Last time you didn’t believe I’d watch a maternity program, today we’ll watch it together."

Selena actually discovered the program because she had finished the series she was following.

So she was bored and was flipping through to find any good shows or variety programs.

She found a maternity program.

Initially, Selena watched with a mindset that as a soon-to-be mom she should learn something. To her surprise, she became more and more addicted.

"..."

Sterling’s mouth twitched slightly.

His wife was still hung up on this.
