Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 779: Three Years of Pregnancy-Induced Irritability

Felicity remained silent for a moment after hearing it, then slowly shook her head.

"No, after all, this is part of my body."

Even though the pseudo-gene in her body caused her a lot of trouble.

But what Felicity couldn’t deny was that if it wasn’t for this gene in her body, she might not have come into this world, nor be treated this way.

So, Felicity acknowledged it.

Once Selena heard that Felicity could think it through, she felt relieved.

She nodded, "I will arrange for you to go to Veridia Hospital, and I’ll notify Hugh to visit you later."

"Yes, thank you, sister."

Felicity sincerely thanked Selena.

Selena shook her head slightly.

Later, under the arrangement of the Norwood family, Felicity was taken to Veridia Hospital.

While Selena and Sterling returned to the main residence first.

Upon returning to the main residence, Sterling glanced at the large, ancient clock in the living room.

"It’s almost noon, are you hungry?"

Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Selena only then realized that after having a little breakfast in the morning, she went to the training camp, and now, more than two hours had passed...

Moreover, with Sterling bringing it up, Selena also felt her stomach starting to protest.

So she nodded, "Okay."

The chef at the main residence was always on standby during meal times, and they had already thoroughly researched the residents’ tastes. Generally, they would prepare the ingredients in advance, ready to start cooking once given the command.

So once Sterling issued the instructions, it didn’t take long for the servants at the main residence to begin placing lunch on the long table in the dining room.

Selena seized this gap to send Hugh a message.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Hugh, I have some good news for you.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Felicity has been found?!

Hugh didn’t let Selena wait too long, and within seconds of Selena’s message being sent, Hugh’s reply came through.

Selena looked at the message Hugh sent, her eyes widening slightly.

How did Hugh know?!

She suspiciously turned to Sterling, "Did you tell Hugh?"

"..."

Sterling, who was suddenly called out, was a bit helpless.

"I’ve been with you the whole time, how could I tell him anything."

After hearing Sterling’s words, Selena finally reacted.

Yes, Sterling was indeed sticking to her just now. Not to mention sending Hugh a message, he didn’t even take out his phone.

So Selena awkwardly smiled a couple of times and continued to bow her head to send Hugh a message.

[Selie Stays Slim]: How did you know?

This time, Hugh took quite a while to reply to Selena’s message.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: What else could be worth you reaching out to me besides Felicity? Sis, is this the legendary pregnancy brain?

"..."

Selena’s eyes stayed fixed on the last few words of Hugh’s message.

Calling her pregnancy brain?

Ha, cheeky brother.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Not only pregnancy brain, but I also have pregnancy rage. Wanna try?

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Sis, I was wrong.

Realizing something was off, Hugh quickly and straightforwardly admitted his mistake.

This strong survival instinct was indeed comparable to Sterling’s.

Prompting Selena to glance at Sterling again.

And Sterling had been keeping an eye on Selena all along, even from the corner of his eyes. So when Selena looked at him twice, he naturally sensed it.

"..."

If he didn’t know Selena was talking to Hugh about Felicity, he might have suspected Selena was doing something sneaky.

Selena didn’t waste words with Hugh, just mentioned the important things.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Felicity is indeed back. She was controlled before, which is why she forgot about you. Now, the control on her is lifted, but she’s weak and needs to recuperate, so I arranged for her to be at Veridia Hospital. You should go and meet her there.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Sis, thank you.

Seeing Hugh’s serious message, Selena somewhat uncomfortably looked away.

Her brother rarely teased her this time and instead thanked her sincerely, which made her feel a bit unaccustomed.

But the corners of Selena’s mouth couldn’t help but lift a bit.

It showed her good mood.

[Selie Stays Slim]: Spend time with her; leave the company matters to your assistant.

[Sister’s Little Cotton Jacket]: Yes, I will.

Afterward, Selena didn’t say more to Hugh.

Presumably, by now, Hugh was already on his way to Veridia Hospital.

Sterling watched as Selena put down her phone, and thus spoke up, "Let’s eat."

"Okay."

Selena responded to him cheerfully.

After finishing lunch, Sterling suggested she go back to the bedroom to rest.

"Where are you going?"

Selena had just lain down on the bed when she noticed Sterling wanted to leave the bedroom.

Hearing Selena’s query, Sterling paused.

He turned around to face Selena and obediently answered her question.

"To the study."

"After Cole went missing, he couldn’t be unscathed. So, I sent two squads to search the surrounding area for traces."

And a day passed, the two squads responsible for searching Cole’s whereabouts have returned.

So Sterling needs to go to the study to hear the news brought back by subordinates.

Once Selena heard, she didn’t oppose any longer.

She said, "You better not keep anything from me."

Sterling knew Selena was still mindful of his previous attempt to test her.

Hence, he dared not say anything to upset her.

On the surface, he blinked and nodded obediently, "Okay."

Seeing Sterling being so obedient made Selena feel surprised.

She suspiciously glanced at Sterling, uncertainly speaking up, "You’re not... hiding something from me, right."

How could he agree so straightforwardly!

"...No, I just don’t want to sleep on the couch."

Sterling was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke.

His tone already showed some grievance towards the end.

Upon hearing Sterling, especially the tinge of grievance in his words, Selena couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

It seems the couch experience left quite a shadow over Sterling.

She slightly raised her eyebrows, with a hint of coquettishness, "Good to know, hurry up then."

Sterling’s lip corners lifted, "Have a good rest, when you wake up, I’ll be by your side."

Selena couldn’t help but giggle, "Yes."

She responded softly.

Afterwards, she blinked at Sterling, saying nothing more.

Sterling looked at Selena once again before leaving the bedroom.
