Chapter 735: You Should Be Thankful Your Wife Isn’t an Actress



Chapter 735: You Should Be Thankful Your Wife Isn’t an Actress

This year, the theme of the Spiritual Dress winter fashion show is called ’Arrival’.

Snow is falling, winter is coming.

Selena Kensington glanced over some of the design sketches attached at the back, and was slightly surprised.

"It’s been a while since we last met, Lynn Rhodes has made significant progress..."

Selena couldn’t help but speak out.

If Lynn’s earlier designs were somewhat shy, her current ones leaned more toward her bold pursuit of fashion sense.

The details are very eye-catching.

After watching for a while, Selena had great confidence in Lynn’s winter fashion show this time.

She couldn’t wait to meet with Lynn to discuss the inspiration for these designs.

As Selena looked through to the end, she closed the proposal after finishing the last page.

Looking up, she saw Sterling Norwood had been watching her.

Selena instinctively raised her hand to her face, puzzled, "Is there something on my face?"

Sterling gently shook his head, lifted her hand from her face, placing it in his palm, and gave it a soft squeeze.

"When is the Stardust fashion show?"

Sterling asked casually.

Recalling the details from the proposal, Selena answered, "Um... in a little over a week."

After speaking, something seemed to occur to her, "Wait a minute!"

Her voice suddenly rose a bit.

"A week later is when Annelise and Sloane are recording ’Who Are You to Me’. It won’t air immediately, but there will certainly be news about them online. If we have them attend Lynn’s fashion show together, wouldn’t this rumor be debunked without waiting for the show to air?"

Selena said, immediately picking up her phone to send a message to Hugh Kensington.

"..."

Sterling didn’t expect that a casual question would lead his wife to think so much.

Seeing Selena’s seriously focused expression as she got into work mode, Sterling decided not to interrupt her.

However, soon after Selena sent the message, Hugh replied.

[Sister’s Little Coat]: Sis, I’ve already considered what you said.

Selena was a bit puzzled, raising her hand to type on the keyboard: Why wasn’t it mentioned in the document you showed me before?

Just as she was about to send it, she saw another message from Hugh.

[Sister’s Little Coat]: But Silas Sinclair came to me earlier, asking not to arrange for Sloane to appear with anyone.

"..."

Seeing the message, Selena silently deleted what she had typed in the chat.

Since when was Silas so aware of Sloane’s schedule?!

But given who Silas is, if he asked Hugh for Sloane’s schedule, Hugh would have to comply, even for Selena’s sake.

After all, he just wants to know Sloane’s schedule, nothing more.

Plus, with Sloane away, Silas hasn’t been able to spend time with her for a long time, so it’s no wonder he’d go this far.

Selena sighed lightly.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Understood.

After sending the message, Selena put down her phone and looked at Sterling.

Seeing Sterling’s calm demeanor, Selena sighed softly, "You should be thankful..."

She stopped her words abruptly there.

She didn’t continue speaking, just looked at Sterling with a deep gaze.

Her look made Sterling somewhat uneasy, and he grew more curious about what she had left unsaid.

In the awkward silence, Sterling asked instinctively, "Thankful for what?"

"Thankful your wife isn’t an actress."

Selena mumbled.

Silas becomes like this when he hasn’t seen Sloane for a while, and Selena figures Sterling wouldn’t handle it much differently.

"..."

Sitting silently at the side, being compared to a pot he didn’t ask for, Sterling was quiet.

However, his silence lasted only a few seconds, and then he leaned over and pulled Selena into his arms.

Without any guard against his actions, Selena was soon nestled in Sterling’s embrace.

She looked up, meeting Sterling’s eyes.

"What?"

Feeling Sterling’s unwavering gaze, Selena couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

And with those few words, she inadvertently revealed her nervous mood.

Sterling chuckled softly and leaned in closer.

Selena could clearly see the smooth skin on Sterling’s face.

As Sterling drew nearer and nearer, so much so that Selena thought he was going to kiss her.

When they were but a finger’s width apart, Sterling stopped.

"I am truly thankful."

Sterling spoke.

After saying this, he blinked, "So, you can’t be away from me for too long in the future either."

He leaned down and planted a soft kiss on Selena’s lips.

"Pfft..."

Selena couldn’t help but laugh out.

She lay nestled against Sterling, stifling her laughter.

"Okay, I’ll try."

She didn’t make any promises since she never committed to anything she couldn’t guarantee.

If spoken too absolutely, it would seem insincere.

Sterling understood this well, so he slightly curled his lips when he heard Selena’s words.

He seemed very pleased.

After lying for a while, Selena looked up, "In a couple of days, I need to go to Stardust, then attend this winter fashion show, and also..."

The more Selena spoke, the more excited she became, as if she hadn’t felt this fulfilled in a long time.

Indeed, this was the rare occasion after her pregnancy that she got involved with the entertainment industry.

It hadn’t happened before, usually observing rather than participating.

But this time was different, as Spiritual Dress aimed to penetrate an international market, and Lynn was personally discovered by both Selena and Hugh, so Selena gave her considerable attention.

Initially, as Selena spoke, Sterling absentmindedly played with the strands of hair falling over her shoulder.

However, as he listened further down the line, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"You’re going to the fashion show too?"

Seeing Selena go over the Spiritual Dress winter fashion show proposal, Sterling merely thought Hugh had sent it for Selena to review.

He didn’t expect Selena planned to attend the fashion show herself.

Selena nodded, "Mhm."

Noticing a hint of concern in Sterling’s expression, she asked, "What’s wrong? Can’t I go?"

Sterling’s face softened, and his tone was gentle, "It’s not that you can’t go, it’s just considering your current condition..."

"With your belly growing larger, it’s not suitable to be in crowded places."

Hearing this, Selena pouted.

Previously, when her belly wasn’t as big, Sterling rarely let her go out due to concerns about the curse’s backlash.
