Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 471 - 470: Jiang the Tough

Selena Kensington pressed Sterling Norwood down to sit.

Then she sat down beside him.

The two of them leaned against the ancient tree.

Selena suddenly said, "Do you know why I went straight to the Norwood Family after being reborn?"

Her unexpected words made Sterling suddenly look over.

Selena ignored the deep, obscure look in his eyes and continued speaking to herself.

"After I committed suicide in my previous life..."

Selena had hardly spoken a few words when she suddenly felt a tightness on her arm.

Sterling pulled her into his embrace.

"Suicide?"

His voice was low, yet it carried a bone-chilling coldness and murderous intent.

Upon hearing Selena say she had committed suicide, Sterling felt a towering rage and killing intent rise within him.

So, that was how she died in her past life?

Sterling couldn’t imagine in what state of mind or circumstances Selena had faced death back then.

But he knew, no matter what, he would feel heartache and blame himself.

Selena gently pinched Sterling’s face in a soothing manner, trying to make him restrain that oppressive and domineering aura.

"Be good, listen to me finish."

Hearing Selena’s words, Sterling managed to suppress the killing intent that surged in his heart.

He continued to listen to what Selena had to say next.

Seeing Sterling calm down a bit, Selena continued.

"I woke up in a state of chaos, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a cemetery."

"On the tombstone in front of me, was engraved my name."

Selena recounted the past she had never told anyone since her rebirth. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Even though it had already passed, carefully recalling it and then saying it out loud now.

Still made Selena’s heart ache in bursts.

"I wandered in the cemetery for half a month, as if something was restricting me, preventing me from leaving the cemetery."

"Later on, I finally understood why I had to wander in the cemetery for so long."

Selena said this, lifting her head to look at Sterling beside her.

The two of them gazed into each other’s eyes, seeing their own reflection.

Selena looked at herself in Sterling’s eyes, as if she was speaking to Sterling, but also speaking to herself.

"Because, I was waiting for you."

Waiting for you to appear in my world.

From then on, I welcomed the past I seemed to have missed.

"Half a month later, you appeared before my tombstone, speaking words I couldn’t understand."

"But I saw the deep affection and regret in your eyes."

"Later, I again fell into chaos. When I awoke, I was reborn to the age of twenty."

"I gambled that what I saw in my past life was not an illusion, so I came to find you."

After saying this, Selena slightly stood up.

She half-squatted in front of Sterling, lowered her head, and rested her forehead against his.

Selena slightly curled her lips, "Do you know why I wasn’t scared at all when I first saw you?"

Sterling looked deeply at her.

He felt that at this moment, she was so bright and dazzling.

Like his star in the sky, and the moon in his eyes.

Selena continued, "Because I’ve seen your most terrifying side, at my grave."

"So, I have no reason to fear you."

After saying this, she slightly lowered her head.

Her lips touched Sterling’s lips.

"You are also my salvation. If it weren’t for that moment in my past life, perhaps I would have been kept in the dark by you. Then, missed again, and the cycle would repeat."

After saying this, she tried to kiss Sterling gently.

Selena discontentedly pinched his waist, "Let me."

Sterling immediately abandoned his previous thoughts.

In a lingering kiss, Selena maintained control all the way.

And Sterling cooperated eagerly with her, sinking into the moment with her.

When Selena pulled away, she felt her lips were slightly numb.

"Hmm... check if they’re swollen."

Selena slightly tugged on Sterling’s collar.

Sterling had a contented look on his face.

His brows filled with laziness, he slightly lifted his eyes upon hearing Selena’s words.

He leaned over slightly, planting another kiss on her lips, "Not swollen."

This time he just gently kissed her, then quickly released.

Selena widened her eyes at the sneaky Sterling, but she soon laughed to herself.

"This is the best choice I’ve ever made,"

Selena said.

Sterling pulled her into his embrace so she wouldn’t have to squat, letting her lean into his arms directly.

"The past life..."

He probed.

As soon as he spoke these two words, Selena understood what question he was going to ask next.

"In the past life, you came to find me, but at that time Mason Kensington wanted to use me to profit by selling me to the Norwood Family."

"I had never met you before, nor did I want Mason to succeed, so I never cooperated, even falling off a cliff trying to escape."

"It took more than half a year of recuperation to get better, but afterward, my nightmares followed..."

Selena didn’t continue because there was no need to.

She just wanted Sterling to know that this time she came to him of her own free will.

He need not feel panic or worry that she might leave at any time.

Feeling the arms around her shoulders tighten a bit, Selena quickly said, "Don’t worry, before it was my own fault, I can’t blame anyone else."

If in her past life Selena had taken the time to understand Sterling better, perhaps she wouldn’t have needed to be reborn.

Moreover, in her past life, she was too indifferent, too laid-back to ever see Mason’s true colors, which led to later events.

This was Selena’s own mistake, and she couldn’t blame anyone else.

Sterling was silent for a while, and Selena could feel the somber aura surrounding him.

His emotions seemed somewhat gloomy and self-blaming.

Selena’s heart instantly softened to a puddle.

This man would actually care so much about her past life’s affairs.

In truth, having been reborn for so long, the memories of her past life had already grown faint for Selena.

If not for calming down the currently insecure Sterling, Selena might never have brought it up again her whole life.

Selena sighed, "I’m telling you all this just to reassure you, to give you a sense of security."

"So you won’t worry all day, overthinking."

Selena suddenly found herself set aside and then saw Sterling stand up.

Selena blinked at him, wanting to see what Sterling intended to do.

Sterling neither left nor moved far, he knelt on one knee before Selena as soon as he stood.

He lifted Selena’s right hand and kissed the ring on her finger.

"If anything happens to you, it would be my failure."

Selena instantly caught the meaning in his words.

From what she knew, The Vile Beasts would try their utmost to protect their partners.

Guarding their partners so they wouldn’t face threats or harm.

A bright smile bloomed on Selena’s face, "I may be unworthy, but fortunately, my lord is peerless."
