Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 613: My Wife

After dinner, Selena Kensington curled up on the sofa in the bedroom, continuing to read her novel.

When she saw Sterling Norwood come out of the bathroom, Selena naturally put down her novel.

Waiting for him to carry her to the bed.

Selena smiled brightly, opening her arms, and when Sterling walked over, she skillfully wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I feel like I’m a useless wreck who can’t take care of myself."

Selena joked.

But after saying this, she happily added another sentence.

"But a pretty wreck at that."

"In short, a trophy wife."

Listening to Selena talking to herself like this, Sterling couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Have you had enough fun?"

He placed Selena on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

Only then did he speak slowly.

Selena blinked.

Then she laughed, "Good night, hubby."

Recently, Sterling had always been the one to coax Selena to sleep before he himself went to bed.

Hearing this, Sterling also laughed, "Good night, wifey."

After Selena fell asleep, Sterling picked up his phone and walked out to the balcony.

He dialed a number from abroad.

A few seconds later, the call connected.

"Patriarch Norwood."

Samuel Dalton’s voice suddenly sounded.

It was not strange that Sterling had Samuel’s contact since the Norwood Family and the Colombo Family had some collaborations.

The strange thing was why Sterling was calling him alone.

Samuel couldn’t help but grip his phone a little tighter.

"Third Young Master Dalton."

Sterling’s cold voice sounded.

After saying this, Samuel was momentarily stunned before he reacted.

It seemed Sterling had discovered his true identity.

However, Sterling wasn’t someone who cared about such things.

So, his purpose for making this call was certainly not simple.

"What’s the matter?"

Samuel asked calmly.

"There’s something I need to ask of you; if you’re willing, the Norwood Family is willing to offer concessions in the next collaboration."

To ensure absolute safety, Sterling decided to contact Samuel Dalton.

After all, his dark thoughts were insignificant compared to Selena’s safety.

Samuel’s eyes immediately darkened.

If something could make Sterling contact him personally and even offer terms.

Then this matter must be...

"Go on."

Samuel had an idea but was still uncertain.

"My wife will arrive on the Isle of Cyrin the day after tomorrow to attend the film festival. During this period, I hope you can ensure her safety."

Sterling said solemnly.

Samuel’s heart ached when he heard "my wife".

As expected...

It concerned his sister.

Samuel suppressed the bitterness in his heart and continued to ask, "Why."

If Sterling knew his position in The Empire, he also must have guessed his relationship with Selena.

With Sterling’s character, he wouldn’t let his wife stay with someone who had feelings for her.

"She’s pregnant."

After finishing this sentence, Sterling continued, "There’s a mysterious organization abroad, they have always been lurking in the shadows, and most people don’t even believe they exist."

"People from this organization have contacted her, and I suspect their target is my wife."

"I can’t go because I need to meet with those from the organization."

Hearing Sterling’s first sentence, Samuel was stunned.

His first reaction was disbelief.

Afterward, he thought he would feel tortured and unable to accept it.

But he was wrong.

Instead, his heart was at ease.

Perhaps from the moment Selena told him she was married.

He understood; his Gummy Fairy could only remain in his memories.

But her past doesn’t belong to him, nor will her future.

Just at that particular point in time, that one moment, belonged to him...

But he had been obsessively clinging to that moment, imprisoning himself.

Creating difficulties for himself and causing distress to Selena.

Yet perhaps without that obsession, he might not have made it to today.

It was that obsession that kept him going.

Whether called an obsession or habit.

Samuel no longer wanted to delve into it.

He feared the answer would disappoint him.

Samuel then heard Sterling’s following words.

His thoughts instantly snapped out of the mood from learning Selena was pregnant.

A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes, and he frowned slightly, "Are you saying... the ’Ghosts’?"

Sterling’s expression froze, "You know about the organization?"

Avoiding further discussion on Selena, Samuel’s expression returned to normal.

Perhaps because the topic was significant, Samuel’s expression grew more serious.

"I only learned about it recently."

"It’s something passed down from my grandfather’s generation; there’s a rumor of a force abroad, they move without a trace, and many often don’t believe they exist."

"But during some sinister rituals and activities, they are often seen, so we call them ’Ghosts’."

Samuel said solemnly.

To ordinary people abroad, these matters might just be a rumor.

But to a family like the Colombo Family, they possessed far more intelligence than ordinary people.

They naturally knew a lot about these circles and deals.

"Those rituals and activities are based on human bodies, right?"

Sterling said.

"Yes."

Samuel confirmed.

Seeing that Sterling also seemed well-informed, Samuel cautiously suggested.

"Patriarch Norwood, why don’t we cooperate?"

"Alright."

Sterling nodded slightly.

The Godsbane Organization’s base was abroad, so cooperating with the Colombo Family would be much smoother.

After all, the Colombo Family’s influence and intelligence abroad are not to be underestimated.

Then, Sterling shared what he knew with Samuel.

And Samuel also shared the intelligence he had.

"...Actually, during the previous auction at Saint Maria, we suspected that Gailo Island might have been an experimental base for the Godsbane Organization."

The two talked on the balcony for quite a while.

At the end of their conversation, Samuel suddenly remembered the matter about Gailo Island and told Sterling.

"Are you suggesting that the Gailo Family is part of the Godsbane Organization?"

Sterling furrowed his brow slightly.

Samuel shook his head lightly, "No."

"Perhaps in the earlier generations the Gailo Family was part of the Godsbane Organization, but not in this generation."

"They only know there are secrets on Gailo Island, but they also doubt whether the Godsbane Organization exists."

"And if there really was a base on Gailo Island, they wouldn’t just stand by idly."

If the Godsbane Organization still wanted to hide their existence, they wouldn’t have let Gailo Island slip away hands-off.
