Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 616: Little Brothers Are Meant to Be Beaten Up

Mainly, she hasn’t had any adverse reactions since becoming pregnant.

She’s feeling incredibly good.

Plus, with Sterling Norwood’s meticulous care and the concern from everyone at the main residence.

Selena Kensington is enjoying herself on all levels.

She’s even forgotten she’s a pregnant woman.

However...

Selena looked at Samuel Dalton with a hint of confusion, how did he know?

Ever since Samuel Dalton appeared here, Selena felt a bit suspicious.

Not only did he show up here, but he also seemed to be waiting for her with all this fanfare.

And he knows she’s pregnant.

Yet she hadn’t mentioned to Samuel Dalton that she was coming to the Isle of Cyrin.

Selena never liked playing tricks in front of people she was familiar with.

So she directly asked, "How did you know I was pregnant, Samuel?"

Samuel Dalton’s expression slightly faded, "Your husband asked me to ensure your safety over the next three days."

After saying this, Samuel Dalton glanced up at Selena’s bewildered face, and gave a gentle, harmless smile.

He seemed just like that sweet little brother.

"But don’t worry, sis, even without him telling me, I’d protect you."

"Letting you get hurt on my turf would be my failure as a host."

His words were gentle and harmless, but the curve of his lips carried a hint of cruel rebellion.

It inexplicably gave one a sense of pressure and fear.

Selena looked deeply at Samuel Dalton.

From his expression, she realized with astonishment that Samuel Dalton indeed was no longer the Samuel Dalton from before.

The former Samuel Dalton might have been masked, always pretending.

No one could guess what kind of devil’s soul was hidden beneath his innocent exterior.

But now, with just a look, or a gesture, you can feel his danger.

This was The Gray King beyond the borders.

It seems after returning to the Colombo Family, Samuel Dalton fully unleashed his nature and matured.

Yet, even so, in front of Selena, Samuel Dalton remained consistent.

The smile at the corner of his mouth was always genuine.

Selena chuckled, "I’ll be counting on you for the next three days."

After saying this, she blinked, planning to give Samuel Dalton a warning first.

"...So, since I’m pregnant, hmm, my temper might be a bit irritable... try to keep your distance then."

Selena thought for quite a while before she could say this completely.

Samuel Dalton paused for a moment.

His expression relaxed a lot, and his tone became laid-back and easygoing.

"Will sis beat me up?"

He joked.

Selena knitted her brows slightly, seemingly thinking seriously.

"...That’s not certain."

Selena pondered for a few seconds before answering, then added, "After all, little brothers are meant to get beaten."

"......"

Samuel Dalton was suddenly silent in place.

There was a faintly odd expression on his face.

Probably choked by Selena’s words.

Seeing Samuel Dalton silent, Selena burst into a ’pffft’ laugh.

"I’m joking, don’t take it seriously."

"...Hmm, sis, let’s get in the car."

Seeing the smile on Selena’s face, Samuel Dalton couldn’t help but feel better.

Selena nodded, "Okay."

Afterwards, Selena and Hope Norwood got into the car arranged by Samuel Dalton.

In the car, Samuel Dalton discussed the upcoming itinerary with Selena.

"Sis, we’ll be going to the Maria Hotel now, where the Corinthia Film Festival organizers have prepared accommodations for guests."

Upon hearing this from Samuel Dalton, Selena almost forgot the Corinthia Film Festival prepares a hotel for invited guests.

Hugh Kensington had mentioned this to her at the time, but as a director and with her only assistant having resigned.

She directly had the organizers contact Sloane Hawthorne.

She didn’t know if Sloane Hawthorne had arrived at the Isle of Cyrin.

"Once we arrive at the hotel, let’s have lunch first, then you can rest for a while."

"Sis, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Samuel Dalton was dutifully fulfilling his role as host, acting like a little brother.

His demeanor and speech were extremely well-behaved.

Like the nation’s favorite little brother.

Selena gently rubbed her chin, suddenly remembering something, she turned and asked Samuel Dalton excitedly, "Samuel, I remember the nights during the film festival here at Isle of Cyrin being quite lively."

Selena had a slight impression of the Corinthia Film Festival from previous years.

During this week of the Corinthia Film Festival, the Isle of Cyrin would be particularly lively.

Stars and artists from around the world who flock to the Isle of Cyrin, along with tourists attracted by the film festival, add a lot of buzz to the Isle of Cyrin.

Especially in the main city streets of the Isle of Cyrin, it’s bustling with activity.

Local specialty snacks, exotic customs and culture... all meld into it.

Especially when night falls and the lights come on.

The streets of the Isle of Cyrin at night are covered by neon colors, creating a neon dreamland.

Samuel Dalton nodded slightly, "That’s how it is."

"Just..."

He hesitated, looking at Selena, "Sis, it’s crowded at that time, better not go."

With more people, Selena might get bumped into by someone or get separated from Samuel Dalton.

Thus, Samuel Dalton definitely didn’t want Selena to go onto the streets.

But he also knew Selena liked joining the fun, and if he let her stay bored at the hotel, she wouldn’t be happy.

"Sis, how about I take you up the mountain to see the night view, or would you prefer going to the seaside?"

Samuel Dalton thought about it, proposing a compromise.

Selena glanced at him, "Since I can go up the mountain and to the seaside, why can’t I just go onto the streets"

"..."

Samuel Dalton got choked by her words again.

Selena stopped him from continuing, "Alright, I’ll be careful and won’t go where it’s too crowded."

"Besides, I have Hope with me."

"..."

Seeing Selena’s insistence, Samuel Dalton sighed helplessly.

"I’ll have someone protect you secretly."

"Fine, I’ll accompany you in strolling around."

Selena widened her eyes slightly, "You’re quite busy, why follow a pregnant woman like me, go about your business."

Samuel Dalton shook his head slightly, "Not busy during this time, sis’s safety is important."

After he spoke, fearing Selena’s refusal, he added, "Sis rarely comes, I ought to show some hospitality."

Hearing Samuel Dalton’s words, Selena swallowed back her next rejection.

Alright, certain things need to be said clearly.

"Okay then, I’ll be counting on you."

Samuel Dalton smiled and shook his head, "Not at all."

Then thoughtfully suggested, "It’s still a ways to the Maria Hotel, sis, would you like a nap?"

Selena shook her head slightly, "No, I’ve slept enough on the plane."

Samuel Dalton nodded slightly, not saying more.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly quieted down.
