Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 791: Babies, Mommy Has Given So Much for You

Finally, after Selena Kensington and Hugh Kensington had a brief exchange, Selena firmly stated her intention to attend the year-end party, which finally put Hugh at ease regarding this matter.

After discussing this issue, Selena began to inquire about Felicity Dalton’s situation.

Felicity Dalton is currently still recuperating in Veridia Hospital.

[Selie Stays Slim]: How has Quinn been recently?

[Little Coat of Sister]: Her recovery is very stable, with another week’s observation she can be discharged.

Selena looked at the message sent by Hugh and pondered for a while.

Perhaps it’s best to find an opportunity to check on Felicity Dalton’s condition.

[Selie Stays Slim]: I’ll come to see you in a couple of days.

Hugh had no objection to this and replied with a "Okay."

After talking to Hugh, Selena glanced up at Sterling Norwood and saw him deeply focused on his work, without disturbing him.

Instead, she propped her chin on her hands, smiling as she watched Sterling Norwood work.

At thirty, Sterling Norwood’s aura and facial features increasingly exuded stability and composure.

Especially those perfectly proportioned features, with a sharp nose and deep, piercing eyes.

Like a razor-sharp blade, incisive and keen.

Yet, beneath all this, the aura he embodies is irresistibly enchanting.

His demeanor exudes elegance and aloofness.

Every move he makes carries the majesty and pride of a leader.

Selena’s gaze was bold and direct, without the slightest concealment. As expected, Sterling Norwood, who was reviewing a document, quickly noticed it.

He slightly raised his eyes toward the side and saw his little wife propping her chin and smiling at him.

Sterling Norwood asked, "What’s going on?"

Selena chuckled, "Nothing."

After responding, she recalled what Sloane Hawthorne had mentioned earlier and proceeded to tell Sterling Norwood about it.

"Is there nothing scheduled for New Year’s Eve?"

After she finished speaking, she asked Sterling Norwood.

Sterling Norwood gently shook his head, "No plans. You can go if you want to."

Ultimately, with himself by her side, she can do whatever she wants.

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s response, Selena’s eyes curved.

Then, she recalled what Hugh had just told her, making her feel slightly melancholic.

"What did you and Hugh talk about? He won’t let me go to Stardust’s year-end party. Luckily, I mentioned it to Hugh’s assistant earlier, otherwise, I’d be inexplicably removed from the participant list."

She spoke to Sterling Norwood, playfully whining.

Her tone was natural and practiced.

It seemed she often did this before.

Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sterling Norwood lightly raised an eyebrow, "He told you?"

In fact, Sterling Norwood was not aware of the Stardust year-end party issue.

It’s just that when Selena was about four or five months pregnant, after overcoming early pregnancy symptoms, her condition improved significantly. Consequently, her sensible nature, subdued due to early pregnancy discomfort, began to surface again.

Sterling Norwood naturally wouldn’t express this openly, but he still ensured the people and events around Selena didn’t indulge her.

Selena was unaware of this situation.

If she knew, she would certainly have objections again.

And now that she knows, she’s begun playfully whining and complaining.

However, Sterling Norwood was steadfast regarding this matter. Even though he agreed to let Selena attend the year-end party, he still didn’t fulfill Selena’s wish for him to loosen his watch somewhat.

Ultimately, Selena talked until her mouth was dry but couldn’t persuade Sterling Norwood.

So she simply left it alone.

After all, it was just a few months away, she should just endure it and it would pass.

Thinking of this, Selena couldn’t help but look down at her tummy carrying two babies.

Babies, mom really has sacrificed a lot for you.

Once you’re out, you better stand by me...

Selena muttered in her heart.

She wondered if her current mood passed on to the two babies in her tummy, because after muttering for a while, she felt her tummy being nudged by two tiny fists.

Her tummy gently moved.

Feeling the movement inside her belly, Selena couldn’t help but laugh quietly.

Two days later, Selena chose a time to visit Felicity Dalton.

As expected, accompanied by Sterling Norwood.

Sitting in the car, Selena looked at the man in the driver’s seat beside her, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I’m just heading to the hospital, you don’t need to come along."

Sterling Norwood didn’t comment.

He only spoke calmly as Selena was about to turn her head, "It’s been a long time since you’ve had a full body examination."

At Sterling Norwood’s words, Selena was taken aback.

Her previous prenatal exams were at the Norwood Family, conducted by Dr. Norwood.

But they were mostly routine checks.

And a full body exam seemed to have been done about two months ago...

"Then after seeing Quinn, let’s do a check-up."

Selena said.

She didn’t resist the check-up at all.

After all, it was for her and her babies’ safety.

"Hmm."

Sterling Norwood responded.

After arriving at Veridia Hospital, they headed to Felicity Dalton’s ward.

Before they even reached Felicity Dalton’s ward, Selena and Sterling Norwood saw Hugh Kensington sitting on the bench outside the ward.

Selena and Sterling Norwood exchanged glances, then walked over hand in hand.

"Sis, brother-in-law."

Upon hearing footsteps, Hugh Kensington looked up to see Selena and Sterling Norwood.

Selena was a bit puzzled, "Hugh, why are you sitting outside?"

Hugh slightly raised his chin towards the ward door, then said, "Mr. Dalton is inside."

Upon hearing this, Selena felt a sense of realization.

But...

Mr. Dalton had never appeared before, why is he here now?

Moreover... with Mr. Dalton’s previous scheming and shrewdness, if he’s connected with The Godsbane Organization... then his visit to Felicity Dalton might have a hidden agenda...

Upon hearing of Mr. Dalton’s presence in Felicity Dalton’s ward, many thoughts crossed Selena’s mind.

But these were just fleeting thoughts, without concrete evidence, Selena could only shelve them for now.

Selena and Sterling Norwood didn’t stand outside for long.

Because shortly after Hugh and Selena finished talking, Mr. Dalton came out of the ward.

Though he leaned on a cane, he appeared energetic.

When Mr. Dalton emerged and noticed the presence of Selena and Sterling Norwood, he paused.

Then he subtly withdrew his gaze and looked at Hugh Kensington.

"Quinn is waiting for you inside."

Hugh nodded slightly at his words.

Then he glanced at Selena, and upon receiving a nod of approval, he entered the ward.

Once Hugh entered the ward, Mr. Dalton greeted Selena and Sterling Norwood.

He looked into Selena’s eyes, paused.

Then comprehended what the expression in Selena’s eyes signified.
