Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 485 - 484: Don’t Spoil Him Too Much

Old Master Norwood saw that Sterling had compromised, so he placed his cane next to the chair.

Then, he turned his head and said warmly to Selena, "Selie, eat more, you look so thin."

After saying this, he picked up a piece of fried dough for her.

"..."

Selena fell silent, just where did Old Master Norwood see that she was thin?!

She’d already gained five pounds under Sterling’s care!

Her weight was nearing the hundred-pound mark.

Maybe there’s a kind of thin that only old people see.

"Grandpa, you should eat more too."

Selena felt too embarrassed to refuse the old man’s kindness and had to force herself to eat it.

Looking at the fried dough in front of her, Selena suddenly found it a bit greasy.

But luckily there was soy milk to dip it in, so it wasn’t too hard to swallow.

After she had eaten almost enough, Selena suddenly heard Old Master Norwood say, "Selie, do you have any plans later?"

Selena picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth and shook her head upon hearing this.

Ever since "Butterfly Flame" wrapped up, she had fewer things to deal with.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have so much time to make scarves.

"Perfect, come with me to visit the Sinclair family later."

"The old man from the Sinclair family has been talking about you for a while, so we’ll take you to meet him."

Old Master Norwood continued.

Selena was curious.

The Sinclair Family?

She really had never been there before.

The ’old man from the Sinclair family’ referred to by Old Master Norwood was probably the Family Head there.

He was once the Empire’s highest leader in the Ministry of Politics, and even though he’s retired, he still serves as an honorary advisor at the Eryndor Office and holds a titular position in the Empire’s military department.

The old man from the Sinclair family was quite a famous figure in the Empire back in the day.

Why would he be talking about her?

What Selena didn’t know was that Old Master Norwood and the old man from the Sinclair family often met up, and ever since she married into the Norwood Family, Old Master Norwood constantly bragged about her.

He would often show off the fact that he had a granddaughter-in-law to the old man from the Sinclair family.

And every time the old man got provoked there, he’d endlessly push Silas Sinclair.

In that sense, Silas was the most innocent.

And this time, after Selena made a scarf for Old Master Norwood by hand, he couldn’t wait to show her off in front of his old friend.

However, Selena was indeed curious about the Sinclair family, and she’d always meant to mingle more with the high society.

"Sure."

So, Selena nodded in agreement.

Sterling, seeing Selena agree, expressed his dissatisfaction, "What about me?"

"..."

Before Selena could respond, Old Master Norwood tapped the ground with his cane.

"You little rascal, don’t think about slacking off, today’s the day for the summary meeting."

The summary meeting mentioned by Old Master Norwood was an internal meeting of the Norwood family.

On this day, family members who operate the family’s businesses outside would return to attend this meeting.

They would report and summarize their yearly work process to the Family Head.

On this day, some will receive greater responsibilities, while others might be demoted.

This was a way to indirectly motivate the branches of the Norwood family to strive harder.

Selena, seeing Sterling deflated, chuckled secretly, then comforted him, "Come on now, don’t be upset."

"There’ll be plenty of time to spend with you later."

Sterling’s expression improved slightly.

But the thought of his wife being sweet and attentive by Old Master Norwood’s side made Sterling grumpy.

His wife had never been so attentive to him!

It wasn’t that Selena wasn’t affectionate toward Sterling; it was that Sterling never gave her the chance.

Every time, Sterling would not only arrange everything, but he would also often solve it himself, never bringing it to Selena, avoiding worry.

Old Master Norwood stood up, and Selena also stood up with him, watching him from the side.

As Old Master Norwood walked, he said to Selena, "Don’t spoil him too much."

"This kid just knows how to climb up the pole."

Sterling, behind them, "..."

He was still here, you know.

Selena chuckled, "Grandpa, it’s okay, he can’t be more domineering than me."

If Sterling really started acting domineering because Selena spoiled him, then Selena would just be more domineering and unreasonable.

Old Master Norwood was reassured by what Selena said, "That’s good, that’s good."

"Grandpa, hold on a minute, I’ll go grab a bag."

"Alright, go on."

Then, Selena went upstairs to grab a bag, touched up her lipstick, and then came back down.

Then she saw Sterling leaning against the main house door.

He leaned against the door with his face tilted down, making it hard to see his expression.

But she could sense the dismal aura around him.

Selena smiled, was he getting a bit addicted to that tactic of his?

She walked over.

"Ajing."

Selena called once, then gently tugged at Sterling’s tie, leaving a lipstick mark on it.

"Mua~"

"There, marked!"

Selena was satisfied to see a bright red lipstick mark appear on Sterling’s tie.

Because she had just reapplied it, the color was especially vibrant.

Sterling looked at the lipstick mark and then at Selena’s smiling face.

His mood lifted significantly.

"Don’t be out too long, come back soon."

He instructed softly.

"Mm-hmm."

After Selena agreed, she waved goodbye to Sterling, "I’m leaving now."

Then she walked out of the main house and headed toward the vehicle that was already parked outside the door.

Later, when the Norwood family gathered in the meeting hall of the main house, they found the Family Head, sitting in the main seat, looking particularly relaxed and seemingly in a good mood.

And then later, as he faced the reports from the Norwood family’s branches, Sterling didn’t show even a hint of irritability.

Just as everyone was puzzled, they saw the lipstick mark on Sterling’s tie.

"..."

They understood.

No wonder the Family Head was in such a good mood today; it was because of the madam.

Meanwhile, Selena, following Old Master Norwood to the Sinclair family, didn’t know she had already become an object of admiration among the branches of the Norwood family.

How impressive must a woman be to tame The Beast Lord...

When Selena saw the Sinclair family, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"This courtyard... is the Sinclair family?"

The well-ordered courtyard took up a huge space.

The place where Selena and Old Master Norwood got out of the car was right by the main gate of the courtyard.

Looking at the main gate, an aura of antiquity and grandeur came up to greet them.

If it weren’t for the occasional vehicles she saw passing by, she would almost have thought she had wandered into ancient times.

Because... it felt too real.

On either side of the main gate stood two stone statues, and above the gate was a plaque inscribed with the words "Sinclair Residence."

And at this time, because of New Year, the doors had couplets, and lanterns were hung on both sides of the main gate.

"That’s right, the entire courtyard is the property of the Sinclair family."

Old Master Norwood answered her.
