Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 47: King Leads Bronze (Bonus - )
Hugh Kensington looked at her with a complex expression, perhaps it’s the feeling of a king carrying a novice.
Can’t carry, can’t carry.
But who called her his own sister, even if she pits him, he can only bear it himself.
"When he came, I felt his extraordinary aura, and then he had the last name Norwood."
"Later, I specifically checked and found there was no such person in the Norwood Family branch. Then I asked Samuel, and that’s when I found out he’s Sterling Norwood, the direct heir."
These were things Hugh had only just learned not long ago.
"..." Selena Kensington, Selena... had nothing to say.
Suddenly feeling like she was dragging her brother down.
"Sis, tell me honestly, did you marry him to deal with Uncle’s family?" Hugh suddenly asked seriously.
Selena shook her head, "Hugh, even if I didn’t willingly marry him, Uncle would still sell me to the Norwood Family."
"But... marrying him wasn’t to beat Uncle to the punch."
"I just... couldn’t help myself."
The scene she saw before her rebirth left the most intense and heavy mark in her heart.
She wanted to see him.
Couldn’t wait.
Selena didn’t want Hugh to know about the rebirth.
The past, she’d rather bear it alone.
After hesitating for a while, Selena continued.
"Hugh, he’s wonderful, I can feel his strong affection. But... I’m not sure if I can bear or reciprocate it."
Hugh remained silent, surprised to hear such words from his sister.
After all, Selena had been pampered by the Kensington Family couple and Hugh since childhood, practically growing up in a honeypot.
Spoiled, straightforward.
For someone to make her hesitate so cautiously... it seems she truly cares.
"Sister, if you’ve never tried, how can you think you can’t reciprocate his feelings?"
"The sister I remember is spoiled, confident, and never afraid."
Selena paused.
Yes, she hasn’t tried. How would she know the result without trying?
Heaven gave her another chance, wasn’t it to save her from past mistakes...
There’s no reason for her to be afraid.
She won’t be afraid.
"Thank you, Hugh."
Having a sudden realization, Selena no longer appeared cautious, her inner confidence radiating outward.
Seeing Selena come to her senses, Hugh thought he was indeed a great brother.
"What are you planning to do next?"
"Of course, to take back what’s rightfully ours."
"Isn’t there the ’Friend’s Appointment’ next week? Miranda will surely spare no effort to slander me, and we’ll seize the chance to reveal some information about Mason Kensington occupying the inheritance, preparing the online community first."
"Then, we can slowly pull back."
Selena didn’t want to waste too much time on Mason’s family; she intended to deal with Roxanne and Sidney.
Those two were much more challenging than Mason.
Though Selena now had the Norwood Family backing her, she wanted to conquer them with her own power.
Hugh didn’t know what Selena had experienced; it was as if she had suddenly awakened.
Nevertheless, as the supportive brother, he believed the best choice was to wait until she was willing to tell him.
"Good!"
After clarifying things, Selena returned to her bedroom to sleep.
*
Selena and Hugh went to school together.
As soon as Selena got out of the car, she saw Samuel standing nearby.
She paused, and before she could react, Samuel greeted her.
"Sis, Hugh."
Selena nodded.
Hugh placed his hand on Samuel’s shoulder and waved to Selena, "Sis, you should go to class."
Selena nodded.
Over the following days, Selena occasionally encountered Samuel, sometimes alone, sometimes with Hugh.
Whenever the young man saw her, he would softly call her ’sister.’
Smiling gently and harmlessly.
