Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 619: Silently Jealous Scene

Selena Kensington listened to Mrs. Anna’s words and fell silent.

She didn’t understand the world that Mrs. Anna was in.

But Selena Kensington knew it was a world like walking on thin ice.

Light and darkness walk together, but they always stand on the shaded side.

Selena Kensington didn’t know how to comfort Mrs. Anna.

Mrs. Anna was sad for a while and realized she was being too emotional.

She wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye and smiled again.

"I shouldn’t be saying such depressing things to you."

Selena Kensington shook her head, "I am very willing to be your listener."

Mrs. Anna continued, "At first, I thought Alessio would continue living like a robot until I discovered your existence."

"To my amazement, I found that when he looked at your photos, and when he was facing you, he actually showed various emotions like a normal person."

In Mrs. Anna’s impression, ever since Samuel Dalton came to the Colombo Family, what he displayed was always numbness and cruelty.

Even when facing her, his mother, Samuel Dalton only showed respect and adoration.

He faced Mrs. Anna merely because she was his mother, he needed to respect her, to protect her.

That’s all.

So when Mrs. Anna learned about Selena Kensington’s existence, she went from initial surprise and relief to later worry and lament.

After all, Selena Kensington was already someone else’s wife.

Mrs. Anna couldn’t bring herself to let her son break up someone else’s marriage.

But she couldn’t bear to see Samuel Dalton trapped in this obsession either.

"Although I don’t know where his obsession with you comes from, Selie."

"Now that you’re pregnant, he may have let go a lot."

"I hope you can undo the obsession in his heart, but at the same time, I fear that without the obsession, he will lose his will to live."

This is what Mrs. Anna meant.

Ever since she learned that Selena Kensington was coming to the Isle of Cyrin, she had been contemplating this issue.

She wanted Samuel Dalton to let go completely but feared something might happen because of it.

Because Mrs. Anna could not forget that during the crucial moment between life and death for Samuel Dalton, he held onto Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington listened to Mrs. Anna’s words but didn’t respond immediately.

She knew in her heart where Samuel Dalton’s obsession came from.

She also understood that this obsession must be broken by her.

"Godmother, actually besides attending the film festival, I’m here to resolve Samuel’s obsession."

Selena Kensington leaned back slightly, finding a more comfortable position.

"I will try to guide him."

Selena Kensington said solemnly.

Mrs. Anna was startled, then smiled with relief, "Thank you, Selie."

Selena Kensington also smiled, "Godmother, you don’t have to thank me; Samuel is my brother, I won’t let him continue like this."

After they wrapped up the conversation, the look on Mrs. Anna’s face visibly relaxed quite a bit.

She initially wanted to continue talking but noticed the bodyguard outside gesturing to her.

Mrs. Anna then looked at the bodyguard.

"Come in."

The bodyguard walked in and stopped a meter away from Mrs. Anna.

He bowed and said, "Madam, the Young Master called, saying you need to return."

Mrs. Anna chuckled at the news, glancing at Selena Kensington, "Look, it hasn’t been long, and that guy is restless."

Selena Kensington also laughed.

Mrs. Anna stood up, "I should go now, you should go up and rest for a bit."

Selena Kensington followed suit, standing up, "Take care."

Mrs. Anna waved her hand, "Stay here, no need to send me off."

Once Mrs. Anna left, Selena Kensington then departed from the balcony.

After returning to her hotel room, Selena Kensington realized it was a suite.

A living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms.

The organizers of the Corinthia Film Festival couldn’t arrange such accommodations for all guests.

Selena Kensington thought for a moment and understood it was Mrs. Anna’s arrangements for her.

"Madam, I’ve put your luggage in the master bedroom, you should rest a bit."

Upon hearing Hope Norwood say so, Selena Kensington finally felt a trace of fatigue welling up.

She nodded, "I will go nap, you should rest as well."

Hope Norwood nodded respectfully, "Alright."

After that, Selena Kensington walked into the master bedroom.

Her luggage didn’t need much sorting; she merely placed her coat on the bedroom coat rack and lay down on the bed.

She exhaled a breath of relief.

Selena Kensington took out her phone and sent a message to Sterling Norwood.

[Selie Stays Slim]: I’m at the hotel now, have you gone to Oakhaven?

Sterling Norwood didn’t reply directly but sent a video call instead.

Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow slightly and answered the video call.

Sterling Norwood’s face appeared on the screen.

Selena Kensington lifted the phone slightly, ensuring that Sterling Norwood could see her clearly.

"Where are you?"

After glancing at the background behind Sterling Norwood, it seemed unlike the main residence.

"Hotel in Oakhaven."

Sterling Norwood replied coolly.

Then he carefully observed Selena Kensington’s current state.

Aside from looking a bit tired, everything else seemed alright.

Sterling Norwood asked indifferently, "Have you seen the Colombo Family people?"

This question from Sterling Norwood reminded Selena Kensington of all the new arrangements he made.

She chuckled, nodding, "Yes, I’ve met Samuel and Mrs. Anna."

"Mrs. Anna even took me as a goddaughter!"

Selena Kensington shared with Sterling Norwood how Mrs. Anna accepted her as her goddaughter.

Sterling Norwood listened with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Eventually, there was a faint upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Anna’s actions aligned perfectly with his intentions.

With this layer of protection, even if Samuel Dalton had any unusual thoughts, he wouldn’t dare act rashly.

While speaking, Selena Kensington noticed the constant smile at the corner of Sterling Norwood’s mouth.

She was a bit surprised, then understood and smiled as well.

"Oh, you can get jealous quietly too..."

Her words carried an amused tone.

Even though Sterling Norwood conceded some ground for Selena Kensington’s safety, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t get jealous discreetly.

Although Selena Kensington always regarded Samuel Dalton as a brother, Samuel Dalton certainly didn’t reciprocate those feelings.

Sterling Norwood knew Samuel Dalton absolutely stood no chance, but that didn’t stop his jealousy from surfacing.

Sterling Norwood coughed lightly, seemingly embarrassed that his feelings were exposed.

Yet, he never hid these matters from Selena Kensington.

"Yes, I would."

After a slight cough, Sterling Norwood admitted naturally.

Selena Kensington was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Previously, when Sterling Norwood got caught, he would at least act awkward, and even his ears would turn slightly red.

But now, Sterling Norwood not only didn’t hide but also admitted openly.
