Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 729: Ultimate Little Bro Xu Xu

After finishing, he naturally took Selena Kensington’s hand and continued to walk forward.

What he didn’t tell Selena Kensington was that he and Silas Sinclair were secretly investigating the Zoe Sinclair situation.

They sent people to the café named ’Rosemary’.

The café already has a history of several decades and has been well-known in the city center of the capital of The D-Nation.

Perhaps young people are not interested in such an ancient-feeling café, but many elderly in the capital of The D-Nation, especially those with power and retired to behind the scenes, especially love such an environment.

And Zoe Sinclair, a young woman, also liked appearing in such an environment, which was a bit intriguing.

Although youth does not mean one cannot have nostalgic thoughts, when it involves Zoe Sinclair, Sterling Norwood always feels it won’t be that simple.

And most of those who have retired are high-ranking officials or celebrities from The D-Nation.

Even though they’ve retired behind the scenes, the influence and authority remain.

Zoe Sinclair goes to that café regularly, and according to Silas Sinclair’s speculation, she wants to win over those celebrities and officials.

If Zoe Sinclair were just a researcher, why would she bother to win over those celebrities and officials?

So, Sterling Norwood and Silas Sinclair decided to continue investigating.

This also caused Sterling Norwood to be busy these days, although he still did not ignore Selena Kensington’s feelings; it was not the same as being able to stick to her side all the time like before.

Sterling Norwood held Selena Kensington’s hand and walked in the garden for a while. Then Sterling Norwood felt that the wind outside was a bit strong, so he took Selena Kensington back to the main house.

The next day.

Selena Kensington woke up very early, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.

As she stepped out happily, she saw Hope Norwood waiting at the main house’s door.

"Madam, good morning."

Hope Norwood pulled out a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, although it still looked a bit stiff.

But Selena Kensington knew that this was the most genuine smile she could manage now.

As a carefully trained Hidden Guard of the Norwood Family, although Hope Norwood managed her facial expressions well and was used to adapting to various tasks in different situations, if they were to show sincere expressions, it was still challenging.

Especially for Hope Norwood; apart from the necessary expression management for tasks, she often had a cold face, expressionless.

If it weren’t for being around Selena Kensington for a long time, Hope Norwood might not even manage this slight smile.

"Good morning, A-hope."

Selena Kensington smiled pleasantly as she greeted Hope Norwood.

After greeting her, Hope Norwood opened the car door at the back seat, and Selena Kensington naturally sat inside.

Since pregnancy, whenever Selena Kensington went out without Sterling Norwood, Hope Norwood would accompany her.

And as her belly grew larger, it was indeed inconvenient without Hope Norwood by her side.

So Selena Kensington had become accustomed to having Hope accompany her when going out.

After Selena Kensington sat in the car, Hope Norwood also sat in the driver’s seat.

"To Stardust."

Selena Kensington said with a smile.

"Okay."

After Hope Norwood answered, she slowly started the car.

Almost reaching Stardust, Vivian Sutton called her.

"Hey, darling, I might arrive a bit late."

Vivian Sutton’s voice was weak and intermittent, sounding very fragile.

Selena Kensington frowned slightly, her eyes filled with concern, "What’s wrong with you?"

Vivian Sutton replied weakly, "I’m okay, just having my period and cramps. I’ll take some pills to ease it."

Upon hearing it was cramps, the worry in Selena Kensington’s eyes slightly dissipated.

Vivian Sutton has a constitution that’s a bit too cold, so at these times, she tends to have these issues.

"Then rest well, eat something to warm your stomach. If you can’t come, just don’t. I’ll find you once I’m done."

Selena Kensington said with care.

"Yes, I’m much better now... You go ahead, I’ll definitely find you!"

Vivian Sutton said with more assurance in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Selena Kensington’s lips carried some helplessness and joy, "Alright, alright, let’s say that for now."

"OK!"

After hanging up with Vivian Sutton, Selena Kensington looked up at the front.

The car had already entered the parking lot of Stardust.

Before coming, Selena Kensington had already spoken to Sloane Hawthorne and Hugh Kensington, so after getting off the car, Selena Kensington had Hope Norwood stay in the guest lounge on the first floor of Stardust, while she took the elevator upstairs alone.

Since it was arranged beforehand, Hugh Kensington and Sloane Hawthorne were both in the Hugh Kensington’s office when Selena Kensington arrived.

In addition to them, Annelise Mayfield was also there.

Seeing Annelise Mayfield was a little unexpected for Selena Kensington, "Back so soon?"

Previously, Annelise Mayfield had taken Roxanne Sutton’s urn back to Westport.

Annelise Mayfield looked much better at the moment. She didn’t have sadness in her eyes, having restored a usual look.

Listening to Selena Kensington’s words, she nodded, "Yes, back very quickly."

After saying this, she lowered her head, seeming a bit embarrassed, "After all, I took quite a long leave; it’s a bit unfair to Hugh for training me before."

Hearing this, Selena Kensington laughed as she glanced at Hugh Kensington, who was behind the desk, wearing formal attire, looking handsome and mature.

Over the past two years, Hugh Kensington had indeed matured a lot. At least wearing formal attire made one subconsciously overlook his age.

"Unexpectedly, Hugh has become ’Hugh Brother’ now."

Selena Kensington’s words carried a hint of teasing.

"...Ahem."

Hugh Kensington coughed lightly, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

After all, Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne were people known to Selena Kensington, and familiar with Hugh Kensington, so they naturally wouldn’t call him like other Stardust subordinates.

Therefore, the two of them called Hugh Kensington ’Hugh Brother.’

Hugh Kensington glanced slightly at Selena Kensington, "I know, in your eyes, I will always just be a brother."

He deliberately emphasized the word ’brother,’ with a wistful look in his eyes.

Selena Kensington naturally ignored Hugh Kensington’s accusing gaze and emphasized tone, walking over to sit on the sofa.

Beside her were Annelise Mayfield and Sloane Hawthorne.

After Selena Kensington sat down, she turned to Sloane Hawthorne.

This time Sloane Hawthorne’s trip out did bring change upon returning.

The change wasn’t large but subtle nonetheless.

The specific difference was in her demeanor and gaze.

She seemed less restless than before, as if everything had settled.

Her eyes also shed some innocence, gaining a touch of allure.

She recalled that Sloane Hawthorne, playing the second female lead in Asa Carter’s directed ’Desire Gorge,’ embodied similar characteristics.

Clearly, Sloane Hawthorne had deeply understood the role.

Selena Kensington smiled slightly, "Looks like your cooperation with Asa Carter directed project brought substantial rewards."
