Chapter 169: I Love You
He couldn’t help but laugh foolishly.
This was his light.
Shining on him, wanting to pull him out of the abyss.
Making him unable to resist bowing in reverence.
Sterling Norwood pulled her hand back and planted a kiss on the back of Selena Kensington’s hand.
As if a devout believer passionately expressing an indescribable love to God.
"You are my world."
"I love you."
"I submit to you."
His voice carried a seductive, unique magnetism.
Especially on such a moonlit night, with the sky filled with colorful fireworks.
The man unabashedly expressed his full heart of love and joy to his beloved wife on the balcony.
Hearing his words, Selena Kensington felt her entire heart go numb with ecstasy.
That tingling numbness was invading her heart, making her involuntarily curl up slightly.
Too alluring.
This was the first time Sterling Norwood had said ’I love you’ to her.
As if the love buried deep within was being unreservedly revealed before her for the first time.
She couldn’t resist, nor did she want to.
Her heart was filled with joy.
She looked into Sterling Norwood’s yet-to-recover sapphire vertical pupils.
Selena Kensington placed a hand on the corner of his eye.
"Have I ever told you that no matter what, your eyes are beautiful?"
"Like the stars scattered in the sky, spreading into my heart, henceforth, uncontrollably."
Sterling Norwood gently tilted his head, took Selena Kensington’s hand, and kissed it by his lips.
"Now you’ve said it."
His voice was indulgent and doting.
Carrying an indescribable tingling and magnetism.
Selena Kensington slightly tilted her head, looking at the fireworks in the sky, then at the person in front of her.
Smiling charmingly and enchantingly.
"Please take care of me in the new year, my Mr. Norwood."
Mr. Norwood.
Her Mr. Norwood.
Finally, Sterling Norwood coaxed Selena Kensington to sleep.
When she was sound asleep, Sterling Norwood got up and walked to the balcony.
He made a phone call.
"Have the research institute intensify the research, the inhibitors are losing their effectiveness."
His voice was cold and imposing, infused with supreme authority.
Completely devoid of the previous tenderness and affection.

The next day.
Selena Kensington didn’t wake until noon, called by Sterling Norwood.
Today was New Year’s Day.
The rule at the main house was that the family had to have a meal together.
Seeing the recovered Sterling Norwood, Selena Kensington sighed in relief.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Sterling Norwood’s tie.
"From now on, you can’t hide anything from me! And you can’t avoid anything!"
Selena Kensington said ’fiercely’.
She wanted to reestablish her authority as a wife!
Sterling Norwood was utterly enamored with her demeanor, cute and endearing.
He immediately responded.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Only then did Selena Kensington let him go.
But as a result, the tie was left crooked and askew.
Selena Kensington murmured, stood up, and helped straighten his tie.
Finally, when Selena Kensington and Sterling Norwood went downstairs to the dining room, they found not only Saul Norwood already there but also Silvester Norwood and Spencer Norwood present at the table.
It seemed...as if they were waiting for them.
Selena Kensington felt a bit awkward, hastily pulling Sterling Norwood over.
"Sorry to keep you waiting..."
Selena Kensington apologized, as it was truly inappropriate to keep the elders waiting.
Saul Norwood, however, didn’t mind and instead said with a cheerful laugh, "No worries, it’s good to come down after a good sleep."
"Sterling, don’t tire Selie out too much either."
"...???"
The more Selena Kensington listened, the more it seemed off, and she blushed, "It’s not like that..."
"Oh, when will you two finally give me a great-grandchild?"
Unfortunately, Saul Norwood didn’t give Selena Kensington a chance to explain.
