Chapter 628: Good Night, Madam
Chapter 628: Good Night, Madam
However, Cole Vaughn was obviously much stronger than the previous five impostors.
He appeared no different from ordinary people, with no side effects, and no sign of losing control.
Moreover, his physique, speed, and even strength...
were far superior to those five impostors.
This made Sterling Norwood immediately cautious.
Could it be that Cole Vaughn is a complete form?!
In just a few short minutes of fighting with him, Sterling Norwood realized that Cole Vaughn’s strength was even more terrifying than the combined power of those five people.
It was after this encounter that Sterling Norwood began to truly regard this enemy seriously.
Later, due to lack of time, Sterling Norwood had to retreat first.
But before leaving, he heard Cole Vaughn’s voice filled with hatred, saying, "You only used despicable means..."
His eyes were cold and murderous as he watched Sterling Norwood leave.
Suburbs?
Selena Kensington remembered that the Jennings family was being held in a villa on the suburban mountain...
So, could it be that Sterling Norwood has already confronted those people?
Selena Kensington’s heart, which had just settled down, was on edge again. "Did you fight those people? Is everything okay?"
Sterling Norwood’s calm tone came through, carrying hints of reassurance.
"Yes, I’m fine."
"Their losses are more severe than ours."
The Norwood family’s Hidden Guard may have been injured, but two of those impostors were truly dead.
Selena Kensington breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good."
After confirming Sterling Norwood was alright, Selena Kensington began inquiring about the Jennings family.
"Did you see Timothy and the others..."
"They’re locked inside the villa, with people from The Viper Syndicate guarding the inside, and those impostors outside..."
"We initially wanted to storm the villa, but their reinforcements arrived, so we had to retreat first..."
Sterling Norwood explained the situation to her just now.
But he didn’t mention Cole Vaughn’s appearance to Selena Kensington, to avoid worrying her.
"...It’s good that you’re okay."
After hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, although Selena Kensington didn’t experience it firsthand, she knew it must have been very dangerous...
"Don’t worry, I’ll bring them back safely."
Sterling Norwood’s words seemed to carry a magic power, making Selena Kensington involuntarily believe him.
She nodded slightly, "Hmm."
"The day after tomorrow, I want to see you back safely."
Selena Kensington said.
Sterling Norwood’s eyebrows relaxed, "I will."
"It’s getting late, go to sleep. Don’t tire yourself out tomorrow."
The film festival requires walking the red carpet, giving interviews, attending the awards ceremony...
With all these events lined up, and Selena Kensington being pregnant, she tires more easily than usual.
So Sterling Norwood wanted to urge Selena Kensington to go to bed early.
Get enough rest.
Selena Kensington placed her phone beside her, turning on the speaker.
She positioned her hands under her ears, facing the phone on the other end.
"But I can’t sleep right now..."
Hearing Selena Kensington’s familiar tone, Sterling Norwood sighed slightly.
Before, when at the main house, if Selena Kensington wanted to tease Sterling Norwood, it would be in just such a tone.
And to make her obediently go to sleep, Sterling Norwood would always let her tease him.
"Then what do you want?"
He replied helplessly.
"Hehe..."
Selena Kensington chuckled when she got her way.
But she didn’t mean to do anything.
After all, Sterling Norwood had gone out, so he was surely tired.
"Nothing much, don’t be busy, just stay with me to sleep, alright?"
Selena Kensington said softly.
"Let’s not hang up the phone."
Hearing Selena Kensington’s words, Sterling Norwood chuckled, "Want me to coax you to sleep?"
"..."
Selena Kensington mumbled several times, having been seen through.
"Sleep if you want! Hmph!"
Listening to such a spoiled and playful voice, the coldness in Sterling Norwood’s eyes had completely melted away, leaving only warmth.
"Sweet baby."
"You sleep first, I’m going to take a shower."
Sterling Norwood gently coaxed his sometimes particularly childish little wife.
His deep voice carried tender affection.
Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena Kensington was satisfied.
She nodded lightly, "Then you go quickly."
"Okay."
Then Sterling Norwood put down his phone and walked into the bathroom.
Selena Kensington originally wanted to wait for Sterling Norwood to finish his shower and come out to say goodnight before going to sleep herself.
But perhaps she had walked for too long tonight; once she completely relaxed, fatigue swept over her.
At first, she just wanted to close her eyes for a moment, but then she couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep directly.
When Sterling Norwood came out of the bathroom and picked up his phone again, he heard Selena Kensington’s soft breathing on the other end of the call...
He smiled faintly.
She must be really tired, otherwise, she wouldn’t sleep so obediently.
He softly said into the phone, "Good night, madam."
"Happy second anniversary."
*
After waking up from her sleep, Selena Kensington looked out the window.
She realized it was already the next day.
She was instantly a bit disappointed, how did she just fall asleep like that?
Quickly taking her phone, Selena Kensington saw that she and Sterling Norwood were still connected, and her lips curved into a smile.
Not wanting to disturb Sterling Norwood if he was still sleeping, Selena Kensington said nothing.
Instead, she charged her phone first.
After getting dressed and washing up, Hope Norwood knocked on her room door.
"Madam, are you awake?"
Selena Kensington went over and opened the door.
Hope Norwood stood at the door, seeing that Selena Kensington was already ready, she stepped aside a bit, "The hotel’s waiter has brought breakfast."
"Perfect, let’s eat together."
Selena Kensington closed the door and went with Hope Norwood to the suite’s dining table.
On the table, the hotel’s waiter had already set out the breakfast.
Steam was still rising from the breakfast, indicating it had been brought not long ago.
Selena Kensington and Hope Norwood sat down.
After sitting, Hope Norwood began going over the day’s schedule with Selena Kensington.
"Madam, Mrs. Anna called me earlier, at noon she will send someone to take you to Colombo’s estate where they’ve prepared the stylists and makeup artists for this film festival..."
"By 5 PM, you will head to the film festival venue for the entry ceremony."
Hope Norwood seemed to have memorized the schedule.
She recited it fluently.
Which left Selena Kensington amazed, "Since when... have you started doing Lea Dutton’s work?"
These matters used to be handled by Lea Dutton.
She remembered that Hope Norwood would always stand silently by, listening.
A slight glint crossed Hope Norwood’s eyes, "She told me all of this, Lea Dutton was worried that you might have too much to worry about, madam."
Selena Kensington’s eyes were full of smiles, "That was thoughtful of her."
Afterward, when Selena Kensington and Hope Norwood finished their breakfast, they watched television news in the living room together.
The news played on the local Isle of Cyrin television station.
At this time, the station was consistently promoting the Corinthia Film Festival.
Because of the festival’s grand spectacle, it had stirred a lot of discussion.
The festival organizers also held various activities to warm up for the event.
They even set up an official live broadcasting platform.
