Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 584: Preparing the Birthday Surprise (Part 3)
After wandering around all afternoon, a feeling of fatigue suddenly washed over me.
Meanwhile, inside Sterling Norwood’s office in The Imperial Building.
Sterling Norwood sat behind his desk, facing his brothers Silvester and Spencer Norwood.
The three wore expressions of seriousness.
Finally, Sterling spoke.
He pointed to the documents in front of him, saying, "Is this the idea you’ve both been contemplating for so long?"
"..."
Both Silvester and Spencer felt a bit frustrated.
Did their big brother forget that they’ve never been in love either!
The two brothers were truly puzzled by why they, two single guys, were tasked with devising proposal ideas for their big brother.
Yes, a proposal.
Since Selena Kensington’s graduation ceremony, Sterling had been contemplating this.
He wanted to propose on her birthday.
This was something Sterling had always envisioned in his heart but hadn’t been able to achieve.
Every night, while he could feel the genuine warmth of a real embrace.
Even though they had already registered their marriage, Sterling still felt a certain emptiness inside.
He wanted to give Selena a perfect and grand wedding.
To make up for past regrets.
The Norwood Family’s Lady, his wife, deserved the best, the most honorable treatment.
But before that, he seemed troubled about how to propose.
After all, if he suddenly told Selena they were having a wedding, she might be so frightened she’d run away.
Sterling picked up the contents of the documents from the table.
"Movie theater proposal, candlelit dinner proposal, sports car with flower proposal..."
He read out the ideas that Silvester and Spencer had come up with.
His expression was full of disdain.
Spencer was on the verge of tears, "Big brother, this is already the result of me and my brother gathering ideas from online."
"We two single guys really don’t understand much about this..."
Who knows how Spencer was struggling with training those Hidden Guards while searching online for proposal ideas and how to create surprises, etc.
Moreover, he had to take notes.
In the past while, those Hidden Guards were starting to look at him differently.
Spencer seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "With so many employees in The Imperial Building, why not gather more ideas from the crowd?"
Before Sterling could speak, Silvester gave him a disapproving glance.
"If you do that, by the time big brother finds a method, our sister-in-law will probably know too."
"How are you going to surprise her this way?"
Spencer scratched his head, even more at a loss for words.
However, it was Spencer’s words that gave Silvester an idea.
"Since asking the employees won’t work, why not ask the people from the branches."
"I remember Keith is an expert in this area."
Silvester suggested.
"Now that you mention it, I remember the old man set up a group chat before, called something..."
"Norwood Family Baby Playground!... Ugh, just saying this group name makes me want to criticize it."
Upon hearing Silvester’s words, Spencer immediately chimed in.
The ’Norwood Family Baby Playground’ group was a chat group created by the old man, in which besides him, all other members belonged to the younger generation of the Norwood Family.
Although they wanted to criticize the group name, it was named by the old man, and they could only pretend as if they hadn’t seen it.
"..."
Upon hearing the group name, even Sterling’s lips slightly twitched.
But Spencer spoke well, so Sterling took out his phone.
Opened the chat group [Norwood Family Baby Playground].
[J]: How to propose?
After sending this message, Sterling raised his head, "Alright, you guys can leave now."
The twin brothers exchanged glances and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, big brother’s going to pester other brothers!
"Alright big brother, we’ll head out first."
After saying that, the twin brothers left Sterling’s office.
Meanwhile, the chat group [Norwood Family Baby Playground] exploded with activity because of Sterling’s message.
[Finn Norwood]: ?????
[Keith Norwood]: ?
[Sean Norwood]: ...?
...
[Saul Norwood]: Oh wow, the rascal has finally gotten it?
As soon as Saul sent his message, the branch members seemed to realize Sterling was indeed serious, and one after another, enthusiastically shared all their lifelong expertise.
[Sean Norwood]: Take her to a place your sister-in-law likes?
[Finn Norwood]: Sean, that’s not right. Women love romance, so set up candlelights, roses, rings!
[Keith Norwood]: Tsk, you guys are lame.
[Keith Norwood]: #Share: Aethelgard’s Top Ten Romantic Places#
[Keith Norwood]: #Share: The Most Romantic Proposal Ideas#
[Keith Norwood]: Big brother, have a look.
Keith quickly sent several messages, which made Finn exclaim repeatedly.
[Finn Norwood]: Keith, you’re truly an expert in this field; an insider for sure!
[Saul Norwood]: Little Keith’s impressive, let your big brother learn from you!
[J]: ...
Sterling watched the chat group, with several messages popping up every few seconds, silently clicked into Keith’s shared links.
The content inside was similar to what Silvester and Spencer had found earlier.
Sterling glanced at it and then exited the page.
[Spencer Norwood]: Keith, this won’t do; big brother already dismissed these ideas earlier.
Spencer jumped in as soon as he saw the ideas Keith shared.
[Keith Norwood]: ?
Sterling pondered for a moment and edited a message to send.
[J]: I want something a bit special.
[Keith Norwood]: Something special? Why not take your sister-in-law back to where you first met? Relive your meeting moment? Sentimental girls would be touched.
Keith was unaware of where Sterling first met Selena.
If he knew Sterling first saw Selena in the nursery, he probably wouldn’t have suggested this.
Seeing Keith’s message, Sterling fell into contemplation.
This idea seemed quite good.
He remembered the first time he saw Selena.
Because of a baby who had just learned to open her eyes, his emotions followed hers and swayed.
That wonderful yet unfamiliar feeling, now recalled, left only warmth and gratitude.
Grateful for that decision, he welcomed his light.
[J]: Whoever dares reveal this...
Sterling didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone in the chat group got the message.
[Finn Norwood]: Rest assured big brother! We won’t say a word!
[Sean Norwood]: Here’s to wishing big brother a successful proposal!
[Keith Norwood]: If you need any help, just let us know, big brother!
[Saul Norwood]: Ahem, I’m in too, old man!
Following was a flood of guarantees from people promising they’d keep the secret.
Sterling took a look and then closed his phone, carefully planning the proposal for that day.
He seemed to think of something, his lips curled slightly.
He was already starting to anticipate his wife’s expression on that day.
Meanwhile, Selena was asleep, blissfully unaware of the meticulously planned surprise lying ahead.
