Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 752: Sweet Talker

Sterling Norwood snapped back to reality, raised his hand to touch Selena Kensington’s long hair. "Nothing."

"Take good care of your pregnancy, the rest..."

"Leave it all to me."

"..."

Selena looked at him somewhat suspiciously for a while.

But Sterling’s expression remained unchanged. Even under her scrutinizing gaze, he stayed unfazed.

After watching for a while, Selena gave up.

She sat back on the sofa again.

Sterling also returned to the desk behind him and continued with his work.

Seeing Sterling busy with work, Selena curled up on the sofa and began pondering Cole Vaughn’s recent words.

For some reason, she felt there might be a story behind the founding of The Godsbane Organization.

And that story was also linked to the most outstanding offspring of the Luminar Clan.

For a moment, Selena developed an interest in Kull, in that most outstanding offspring of the Luminar Clan.

After some thought, she figured the only person who might know about these things was Grandma Jennings.

After all, although Grandma Jennings was quite young during that era, it was better than those who hadn’t yet been born in that time.

Having made up her mind, Selena looked up at Sterling and said, "Sterling, I want to go to the Kensington Family to see Grandma."

Upon hearing this, Sterling looked up from his documents.

He glanced at the time, and there was still some time before they finished work.

"I’ll take you there."

After saying this, he got up, preparing to grab the suit jacket draped over the back of his office chair.

Selena quickly stopped him, "You should work here, let Silvester take me there, the Kensington Family isn’t far."

Sterling frowned slightly, about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Selena, "It’s decided then! I’ll find Silvester!"

With that, Selena got up from the sofa and headed out.

"..."

Sterling, seeing her leave, didn’t insist. He just reminded her, "Watch your step."

Without turning back, Selena waved at him, "Got it, got it."

Afterward, Selena went to find Silvester Norwood to explain why she needed him.

Silvester readily agreed.

In the car.

Recalling the expression on Silvester’s face earlier, Selena curiously asked.

"Silvester, is there any issue at the company recently?"

Selena’s tone was no different from usual, as if she had just thought of it suddenly.

Silvester, driving in the front, was taken aback.

He discreetly glanced at Selena’s expression through the car’s rearview mirror before speaking slowly, "Everything’s normal. Why do you ask, sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Selena’s eyes slightly lowered, "Ah, it’s nothing."

"I just thought Sterling seemed a bit busy lately, and wondered if there was a problem."

"...As the year-end approaches, things are indeed a bit busier."

Silvester slightly curled his lips.

Selena nodded, somewhat understanding, and didn’t continue the topic.

The Imperial Building wasn’t far from the Kensington Family home. After a short drive, Silvester had arrived.

"Thank you, Silvester."

Selena got out of the car and smiled at Silvester.

"No need, sister-in-law."

After talking with Silvester, Selena turned and headed towards the Kensington Family home.

The key to the Kensington Family’s front door was always in her bag.

When Selena opened the door and walked in, she found only Grandma Jennings in the living room.

Hearing the door open, Grandma Jennings instinctively turned to look.

Upon seeing it was Selena, she exclaimed, "Selena, what brings you here?"

Selena closed the door and walked over with a smile, "Sterling and I went to the company today, so I came by to see you."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Jennings cheerily patted the sofa beside her, "Come, sit down here."

Obediently, Selena walked over.

After sitting down, Selena curiously glanced around.

The entire Kensington Family house seemed to only have Grandma Jennings present.

"Grandma, isn’t Felicity here?"

Felicity Dalton and Hugh Kensington had been living together for a while now. Previously, when Selena visited, Hugh might not have been around, but Felicity would always be by Grandma Jennings’ side.

Mentioning Felicity, Grandma Jennings smiled, "Felicity went back to the Dalton Family. Apparently, her brother asked for her."

"Oh..."

Hearing that it was Mr. Dalton who summoned Felicity, Selena didn’t ask further.

Yet, she still had a lingering doubt.

Logically, Felicity was a pseudo-kind, so why had she been so quiet during this period?

Moreover, she didn’t seem to have much aversion to Grandma Jennings.

Was it possible her intuition was wrong?

No...

Selena interrupted her own thought.

Felicity was definitely a pseudo-kind; she had seen her reactions to the Heavenly Master Power firsthand.

But why Felicity had become a pseudo-kind was intriguing.

Moreover, if Felicity’s identity were exposed, Selena wasn’t sure how to handle it.

So for now, Felicity maintaining her usual behavior was a good thing.

With Selena’s visit, Grandma Jennings lost interest in continuing to watch television.

She let the TV play by itself and engaged Selena in idle chatter.

"By the way, Selena."

"Has your appetite improved recently?"

Grandma Jennings asked with concern.

Previously, when Selena showed aversion to medicinal supplements, Sterling had informed Grandma Jennings.

Although Grandma Jennings had anticipated this would happen, she hadn’t expected it so soon.

Now Selena was just over five months pregnant. Without those medicinal buffers in the next four months, how would she manage...

Not wanting to worry Grandma Jennings too much, Selena nodded, "Yes, much better..."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Jennings glared at her, a bit displeased, "You, girl, so stubborn! Don’t you know your own condition? Why hide it from Grandma!..."

Selena scratched her nose at being seen through.

However, she didn’t try to hide it further and instead leaned forward to embrace Grandma Jennings.

"Oh Grandma, I’m just worried you’re too concerned about me!"

Although Grandma Jennings appeared robust, she was getting older.

Selena feared that worry over this matter might affect her health.

Understanding Selena’s good intentions, Grandma Jennings assured her, "Don’t worry, I’m in great health!"

Selena laughed along, "Yes, yes, Grandma will live to be a hundred!"

"You sweet talker!"

The grandmother-granddaughter duo continued chatting for a while.

Selena subtly inquired about the Luminar Clan, "Grandma, what kind of existence is the Luminar Clan?"

Grandma Jennings was surprised that Selena suddenly mentioned the Luminar Clan, her eyes momentarily filled with sorrow.

"Why do you ask this."

She seemed to avoid the question, her tone a bit low-spirited.

Selena found Grandma Jennings’ reaction a bit odd, "Hmm? Nothing, just heard Lark Mayfield mention it before and got curious."
