Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 23: Husband’s Return

Selena suddenly curled her lips into a mocking arc.

"Surge"

This song is one of the songs Selena has modified the most.

It went through no less than twenty changes during its creation, and it wasn’t until a year later that the full version was completed.

The song is catchy, and it challenges the singer’s control over melody and the modulation of their voice.

In short, it’s a song of considerable difficulty.

Selena naturally knew Miranda wanted to win with a high-skill song, but she didn’t know that the core of this song is the singer’s emotions and vocal timbre.

When creating this song, Selena tailored it to Hugh’s vocal timbre, so she wasn’t worried about this issue.

But she knew Miranda’s vocal timbre very well, and it couldn’t capture the essence of the song.

Hugh originally thought his sister was too laid-back, but he didn’t expect her to pull out such a big move.

He was now slightly surprised.

What prompted Selena’s change?

The siblings settled on this song while in the car, and coincidentally, the car arrived at the apartment.

Looking at the car parked downstairs and its familiar license plate, Selena paused.

Then she immediately opened the car door and ran over, leaving Hugh behind.

"..." Hugh looked speechless, seeing his sister throw herself into Sterling’s arms as he stepped out of the car. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Helplessly, he got out of the car and started to move the luggage.

In his sister’s eyes, there was only her man; he was just a humble brother.

Selena didn’t expect Sterling to show up here.

"When did you come back?" She asked, standing on tiptoe with her arms around Sterling’s neck, surprised.

Sterling held her waist, making her embrace more comfortable.

"Just got back." He came straight to find her after leaving the plane.

Despite only half a month apart, Sterling realized he missed her terribly.

He wanted to see her every moment.

In the past, this yearning wasn’t strong, as he lived long on the mountaintop of Mount Serpentis and habitually suppressed his desire to notice her.

But now, she had walked into his territory, and the suppressed desires from before began to rebound endlessly.

Even... Longing for more.

Selena giggled, realizing the driver today wasn’t the usual chauffeur for Sterling.

The man bore some resemblance to Sterling, wearing a pair of non-prescription gold-rimmed glasses, with a gentle temperament, belonging to the courteous gentleman type.

Seeing Selena look in, the man opened the car door.

He greeted Selena, "Sister-in-law, nice to meet you, I’m Silvester Norwood."

His expression was gentle, and his manners were polite and proper, without making anyone feel uncomfortable.

But Selena could keenly sense a hint of ruthlessness behind the gentlemanly facade.

Still, he bore the "Silvester" prefix...

As far as Selena knew, Sterling was the only legitimate heir in the Norwood Family of this generation. Silvester Norwood could only be a collateral descendant.

But being bestowed with the "Silvester" surname, it was clear that he held a certain status in the Norwood Family.

All she could say was... Truly worthy of the Norwood Family, right?

"Hello, I’m Selena." Selena smiled and shook his hand. However, after just one second, her hand was pulled back by Sterling.

"Go upstairs." Sterling said expressionlessly.

Selena felt a bit helpless, her man would even get jealous over a handshake, and the other party was his brother too.

Selena gave an apologetic smile to Silvester Norwood, then took Sterling upstairs.

Silvester already mentally prepared himself, but seeing Sterling’s demeanor of doting on Selena, he was still a bit unused to it and paused for a moment.

His brother really seemed to have become more human after having a sister-in-law.

Inside the apartment, Hugh had already moved the luggage into the room.

When Selena came in, Hugh had just finished his phone call.

"What’s going on?" Selena asked.
