This matter was discussed fervently online, but Selena Kensington was completely unaffected.
*
The day of the speech arrived quickly.
Selena stood in the dressing room, debating what dress to wear.
In the end, Sterling Norwood couldn’t stand her indecision any longer and ca over to help her pick one.
A cream-white chiffon dress, with nothing but so light gauze and patterns for extra decoration.
Simple, elegant, dignified.
Selena changed into the dress and twirled in front of the mirror. "...There’s no girlish feeling anymore..."
Sterling paused briefly behind her. Had his wife been married to him for so long and still thought she was a young girl?
Sterling lifted his eyelids, his eyes glinting as he looked at Selena. "It’s a reminder that you’re married."
"..."
Alright then.
Sterling accompanied Selena to Aethelgard dia University.
*
The car entered through the main gate of Aethelgard dia University, bypassing so buildings as Selena guided Sterling to park near the auditorium’s parking lot.
Selena unbuckled her seatbelt and picked up her bag, ready to get out of the car.
Suddenly, she noticed Sterling also unbuckling his seatbelt.
"Sterling...?"
Selena called out, puzzled.
"Hmm? I’m coming with you."
Sterling replied.
"..."
This jerk of a man was pulling a sneak attack on her again!
"Why didn’t you tell earlier?"
Selena pinched Sterling’s waist in frustration.
Sterling didn’t stop her, letting her pinch him as she pleased.
"It was a last-minute decision."
Upon hearing Sterling’s explanation, Selena huffed and let him go.
They both got out of the car together.
Aethelgard dia University had notified Selena about the speech beforehand, so security staff and students were already organized in advance.
By the ti Selena and Sterling arrived, the freshn were already inside the auditorium.
The person tasked with receiving Selena was... Finn Norwood.
Selena found it quite novel to see Finn Norwood.
"Wow, Finn! You’ve been entrusted with important duties, huh?"
Finn looked like he was about to cry. "Sis, please don’t say that. During freshman registration, I was just a volunteer. Then a school leader noticed and said I had potential, so they wanted to promote ..."
So, Finn went from being the head of the cultural and sports departnt to also serving as a disciplinary committee mber.
"...Your reford bad boy path seems irreversible..."
Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.
Finn didn’t want to dwell on these distressing matters anymore.
"Big brother, sis, let take you inside."
Finn hadn’t expected Sterling to accompany Selena, but on reflection, it wasn’t all that surprising.
After all, among the freshn, there were quite a few fans of his sister-in-law. Sterling couldn’t be too lax, could he?
Finn guided them through the auditorium’s side entrance.
Entering through this entrance led directly to the front of the hall.
Though Finn did his best to lead them away from the crowd, discreetly, they were still too conspicuous as they entered.
"!! Sister Selena is here!!"
"Oh my god! Her husband is here too!!! Aahhh, such divine looks!"
"They’re so loving, even coming to the speech together, wailing over here!"
"Moved to tears by this divine romance!"
Since the speech concluded the freshn’s military training that morning, the freshn were all very excited.
Seeing both Selena and Sterling’s arrival heightened the excitent.
The school’s leaders were astonished by the couple’s presence.
"Patriarch Norwood, madam, it’s an honor to have you attend the speech."
"You’re too kind."
Selena exchanged a few polite exchanges with the school leaders.
Then, she was seated in the front row.
She had just sat down when her phone vibrated.
It was a ssage from their chat group, "Reluctantly Low-key Iron Triangle."
[Vivian Stays Rich]: @Selie Stays Slim, babe, have you arrived at the auditorium?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Aahhh, too bad only the freshn can attend this ti! Otherwise, I’d co to see you!
Selena smiled upon seeing Vivian Sutton’s ssage ntioning her.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Just arrived, what’s up?
[Vivian Stays Rich]: Just happens Sloane’s back at school for so things today too. Shall we have a al once we’re done?
[Selie Stays Slim]: Sure, but my husband is here too.
[Vivian Stays Rich]: ...
[Vivian Stays Rich]: No problem! I can handle it! Let’s also invite Sloane and Finn... Cannot let bear it alone.
Selena couldn’t help but laugh.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Okay.
Sterling looked down at her. "What’s up?"
Selena showed him the ssages on her phone.
"It’s Vivian, she’s asking us to gather for a al afterward. The cafeteria at Aethelgard is quite good."
"Are you free in the afternoon? If you’re not in a hurry, let’s eat first before leaving."
Sterling hooked his fingers around hers. "All up to you."
With that, Selena ntioned it to Finn.
Finn didn’t have any objections; he was fine with eating anyway.
Selena glanced back.
Since the freshn were all dressed in camouflage, she couldn’t locate Sloane Hawthorne easily among the crowd.
After pondering, she decided to send Sloane a WeChat ssage.
[Selie Stays Slim]: Sloane, how about joining for a al after we finish here?
Sloane didn’t reply, suggesting he wasn’t checking his phone.
He’d probably see it later.
Selena slipped her phone back into her bag.
As the ti neared, the school leaders began to go on stage to speak.
"Over the past half month, all freshn have undergone military training, and no doubt gained much..."
"Please rember, you officially beco students of Aethelgard after completing military training. By enduring this training, you qualify to be Aethelgard students."
"Aethelgard is never shy about encouraging its students to explore, innovate, or even propose their ideas directly to the academy if you have the capability and talent... Hopefully, your dreams may be realized here."
The principal delivered a speech.
Over ten minutes later, his speech finally concluded.
He went on to ntion another piece of news.
"You should be aware of Aethelgard University’s abundant resources and generous benefits, and the scholarships here are among the best."
"This month, we have another piece of exciting news."
"The Imperial Building has directly funded the establishnt of the Kensington-Norwood Scholarship at Aethelgard University, which will be ongoing, with more opportunities and higher amounts than previous scholarships."
"This scholarship was jointly nad by Patriarch Norwood and his wife to reward capable and talented students within the school."
There was quite an uproar below.
No wonder the freshn were shocked since Aethelgard kept this matter tightly under wraps until now.
Aethelgard University’s highest scholarship was 20,000, but the Kensington-Norwood Scholarship is even higher!
"Nad after the couple... I’m willingly eating this dog food!"
"As a shipper of the two, I! Will! Get! This! Scholarship!"
"A lemon has landed on my heart."
