Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 436: Jealous Jing Is Online
The people at the table couldn’t help but laugh at Iris Sinclair’s remark.
Even Sloane Hawthorne’s lips curved slightly with amusement.
Silas Sinclair’s face turned dark, "Are you really my sister?"
Iris Sinclair gave him no face, "Sorry, I’d rather not be."
Then she muttered, "You’re so old and still don’t have a girlfriend; I’m starting to doubt your sexual orientation..."
Selena Kensington ’kindly’ reminded her, "Little Iris, we can all hear you."
Iris Sinclair shrugged indifferently.
Anyway, Sloane Hawthorne was here, so her brother certainly wouldn’t scold her on the spot.
After all, he still had to maintain his image, right?
After Iris Sinclair’s playful teasing, everyone began to eat.
Selena Kensington looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes lighting up when she saw the chestnut cake.
The chestnut cake is one of the signature desserts of Serenity Gardens.
Yellow chestnut paste covers the top, middle, and bottom, interspersed with red and brown jelly cakes and sweet bean paste.
At the very top, it features the Serenity Gardens emblem.
It’s vibrant in color, soft and delicate in texture, and deliciously sweet.
This is also one of Sloane Hawthorne’s favorite desserts.
A few days ago, when Serenity Gardens delivered food, they sent some chestnut cakes; every time Sloane ate one, he quickly regained energy.
Selena Kensington had seen the expression on her face when she ate the chestnut cake.
She looked utterly happy and content.
Selena pushed the chestnut cake slightly in Sloane Hawthorne’s direction, "Sloane, your favorite chestnut cake."
Sloane suddenly called out, felt a bit nervous.
"Thank you, sister."
She responded a bit nervously.
Selena Kensington’s lips curved slightly, "Go ahead and eat."
Silas Sinclair listened to Selena, his heart stirring.
He seemed to pick a topic out of thin air, "Do you like chestnut cake?"
"Yes."
Sloane Hawthorne picked up a piece and placed it on her plate, replying indifferently to Silas Sinclair.
"?"
The difference in treatment was too big, wasn’t it?
Silas Sinclair had grown up smoothly, praised by the elders, respected by his subordinates.
Before meeting Sloane Hawthorne, he never hit a snag.
But after meeting Sloane Hawthorne, it seemed he was always coldly received.
No matter what he did, he was rejected.
Hugh Kensington was also puzzled.
Sloane Hawthorne, though acting like a neighborly girl, enthusiastic, shy, and obedient in front of Selena Kensington,
was always polite to others.
So why did she suddenly become indifferent when facing Silas Sinclair?
Iris Sinclair delighted in Silas’s awkwardness, seeing the fleeting frustration in his eyes, she said gleefully, "Brother, maybe the magnetic fields just don’t match."
Then she looked at Sloane Hawthorne with interest.
"Miss Sloane, may I boldly ask you a question?"
Sloane Hawthorne was stunned, then nodded.
Then she saw Iris Sinclair asking with a smile, "What are your criteria for choosing a partner?"
"..."
Sloane Hawthorne was dumbfounded.
Silas Sinclair looked at Iris warningly, "Little Iris."
But the trace of nervousness in his eyes was caught by Iris Sinclair.
Iris Sinclair pursed her lips, lousy brother, in the end, it would still rely on her.
Sloane thought for a moment, then replied, "Someone of similar age, having common topics, hmm... and must have my sister’s approval."
Selena Kensington was surprised by the last part of Sloane’s words.
She didn’t expect to hold such an important place in Sloane’s heart.
But then Sterling Norwood, who had been drowning in jealousy, pulled her thoughts back.
He whispered in her ear, "Why is she clinging to you so much? Hurry and marry her off."
Selena Kensington heard Sterling Norwood and burst into laughter.
She jokingly poked Sterling’s stern face.
Sterling Norwood realized that even losing Vivian Sutton, there was still a stronger rival in Sloane Hawthorne.
Moreover, the person spent so much time with his wife; not to mention Selena Kensington was deliberately nurturing her, taking care of everything for her, treating her well in every aspect.
Vivian Sutton at least had Clement Luther to oversee things, wouldn’t cling too much to Selena Kensington.
But Sloane Hawthorne... Sterling was momentarily speechless about Silas Sinclair’s charm, unable to capture even a young girl.
Truly embarrassing.
Silas Sinclair was yet unaware he was despised by Sterling Norwood; hearing Sloane Hawthorne’s words, his heart sank coldly.
Someone of the same age... there was a significant age gap between him and Sloane Hawthorne.
Common topics, he hadn’t even understood much about the entertainment industry, so what common topics?
As for gaining Selena Kensington’s approval... with Selena determined to groom Sloane into a movie star, Silas Sinclair felt his chances were even slimmer.
Even Iris Sinclair felt a little sympathy for Silas Sinclair.
Her brother was pitiful, really.
Jonah Hawthorne heard Sloane Hawthorne’s words, his mouth twitching slightly, "Since when did your brother have such a low status there."
Sloane shot him a glare, speaking mercilessly, "Brother, you’ve been busy with your team and career these months, remembering me is already fortunate enough."
Jonah Hawthorne admitted his fault, rubbing his nose, not daring to speak.
Indeed, these past months he had been focused on software development with his team.
Often staying overnight at the company with the team.
He even missed Sloane Hawthorne’s enrollment ceremony, catching up through other methods afterward.
However, his sister became Selena Kensington’s number one fangirl, evolving into a mindless fan; Jonah expressed that it really wasn’t his fault.
Selena Kensington had her charisma and principles, both attracting Sloane Hawthorne.
Jonah could see that Sloane Hawthorne constantly learned from Selena and occasionally showed attachment to her.
This was something Sloane hadn’t shown after Jonah’s accident.
During those two years in the slums, Sloane always had the leader’s image, cold, calm, and more mature than her peers.
Thus, naturally becoming the group leader among them.
But after meeting Selena Kensington, she revealed her softer side.
Which is why Sloane is always enthusiastic, obedient, and shy in front of Selena but distant and courteous to others.
Sterling Norwood took Selena Kensington’s hand poking his face down, "You’re so focused on what she likes to eat, why not pay attention to me?"
Hearing Sterling Norwood’s unmistakable jealousy, Selena was helpless.
She looked at the dishes on the table, picked a three-flavored meatball, and brought it to Sterling Norwood’s mouth.
"This is your favorite."
Sterling’s lips curved slightly, eating the small meatball.
Chewing a few times before swallowing it.
Looking at Selena Kensington, eyes filled with helplessness and amusement, he said, "My favorite is you."
Selena Kensington was stunned, then started laughing.
