Selena Kensington thought of Sterling Norwood’s gloomy face over the past few days, especially when she ntioned wanting to visit Vivian Sutton; his expression beca even worse.
She felt like laughing but also completely helpless. "This guy gets jealous regardless of gender."
"Don’t mind him, he wouldn’t dare do anything."
Sterling Norwood might act arrogantly when he’s angry, but as soon as Selena gets angry too, he becos timid faster than anyone else.
Vivian Sutton’s mood brightened instantly upon hearing Selena’s words. "Am I really that impressive?"
"I never thought the head of the Norwood Family would one day be jealous because of , tsk tsk."
Selena shot her a glance. "You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?"
Vivian laughed for a while. "Sigh, honestly, if you don’t go and coax him soon, that jealousy will explode sooner or later."
Selena continued to knit the scarf in her hands. "I have a plan; I’ll give him the scarf tonight when I get back."
"That’s the right move!"
"That way, every ti I co to pick you up, I won’t have to be stared down by his eyes."
"You have no idea how scared I was this morning!"
"Balabala..."
Vivian Sutton is a chatterbox; once she starts talking, she can’t stop.
In the end, Selena helplessly picked up the juice on the table and handed it over. "Drink this, I refuse to believe it won’t shut your babbling mouth."
Vivian chuckled ’hehe’ and took the juice. "Thank you, darling, mua~"
Selena gave her a helpless look, then continued knitting the scarf in her hands.

That evening, Sterling Norwood ca to pick up Selena.
Vivian Sutton handed her the pre-packaged gift box.
"Here, for you."
"Go on, darling! I guarantee your husband’s anger will vanish once he sees it."
After saying that, Vivian even gave Selena a thumbs-up gesture for encouragent.
Selena’s mouth twitched slightly.
Holding the gift box, she prepared to leave. "I’m off then."
"OKOK!"
After leaving the villa, Selena got into the car.
Sitting in the backseat, Selena only then noticed that Sterling, who normally couldn’t wait to hug her the mont she got in the car, was particularly quiet today.
She glanced at the person next to her.
Sterling Norwood was leaning against the window, looking out.
But Selena felt like his peripheral vision was tuned into her every movent.
She smiled slightly.
He’s learned to play the pity card now.
Leaning against the window, Sterling Norwood waited for Selena to coax him, but he waited forever, until she was settled and the car had been moving for a while.
Still, he didn’t get the coaxing he wanted from Selena.
"..."
Sterling felt both a bit reclusive and sowhat suspicious if Vivian and Selena had said sothing.
Sothing that made her unwilling even to coax him now.
As expected, all those sweet promises before were false.
Won’s words are deceitful lies.
Sterling had seen this line not long ago on the internet.
Originally he just wanted to look up how to improve his relationship with his wife, but he stumbled upon this phrase.
Sterling thought it applied quite well in this situation.
Just as he was about to break the uncomfortable silence, he felt Selena’s slightly cold small hand cover his hand on the seat.
Sterling frowned slightly; why was her hand so cold?
Instinctively, he wanted to wrap her hand in his own to warm it up.
And indeed, his body did just that.
Watching his actions and seeing a hint of shy annoyance cross his face, Selena couldn’t help but smile.
"A-Jing..."
She gently called out.
Finally hearing Selena speak, Sterling’s expression softened considerably.
It was as if he’d found a breakthrough.
He turned to look at Selena. "Hmm."
He imdiately took hold of both her small hands and ward them in his, frowning slightly. "Why are they so cold?"
Watching his actions, Selena felt a rush of sweetness in her heart.
Then Sterling noticed a gift box on Selena’s lap.
"What’s that?"
Selena lowered her head slightly, her smile mischievous. "Guess."
She then urged Sterling to close his eyes. "Close your eyes."
"?"
Sterling was sowhat puzzled but obediently closed his eyes.
"No peeking."
Selena reminded him.
Sterling nodded slightly, feeling a sense of anticipation inside.
Is his wife planning a surprise for him?
Could this be the reason she kept visiting Vivian’s house lately?
Seeing Sterling close his eyes, Selena took out the scarf from the gift box.
She leaned over and wrapped the scarf around Sterling’s neck.
With his eyes closed, Sterling just felt sothing soft and warm wrapped around his neck.
It’s a scarf.
Sterling imdiately realized.
He wanted to open his eyes but felt Selena’s hand covering them.
"Don’t open them."
Selena said again.
Then, she leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
Only then did she release her hands from covering Sterling’s eyes.
"Alright, open your eyes."
Upon hearing Selena’s words, Sterling opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Selena’s bright, smiling face.
Feeling sowhat moved, he lowered his head and saw a dark gray scarf wrapped around his neck.
The scarf was soft and warm, warming Sterling’s heart.
"So, do you like it?"
Selena asked.
Sterling nodded slightly, then instinctively asked, "Did you..."
"I knitted it myself."
Hearing Selena’s answer, Sterling couldn’t hold back the joy and happiness bubbling inside.
"So you’ve been..."
He asked again.
Selena continued answering him. "Yes, I’ve been making the scarf with Vivian."
"To surprise you, I kept it a secret the whole ti, but all you do is get jealous."
"Jealousy monster!"
She poked Sterling’s face.
And Sterling, not getting angry, kept a smile on his face.
Letting Selena poke his face as she pleased.
Seeing him like this, the frustration from Sterling’s recent paranoia vanished.
"Will you dare act like this again?"
Sterling quickly shook his head, pulling Selena into his arms.
"My fault, don’t be angry."
He softly coaxed Selena, his tone filled with appeasent and delight.
This was Selena’s handmade gift for him.
To Sterling, no expensive scarf could compare to the one Selena knitted herself.
"Hmph."
Selena snorted lightly, but her face broke into a smile.
Just then, Silvester Norwood’s helpless voice ca from the front. "Big brother, sister-in-law, mind you, there’s a third person here."
Hearing Silvester’s words, Selena was montarily taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Silvester, if you hadn’t spoken up, I’d have forgotten you were even here."
Mostly because Silvester had been quietly driving up front.
Plus, there’s a partition in the vehicle that had risen up the mont Selena got in.
So Selena really hadn’t noticed Silvester at all.
