She collaborated with Asa Carter on "Desire Gorge" this ti, and Selena Kensington was quite curious to see how she was doing after her return.
It just so happened she planned to go to Stardust tomorrow.
So she agreed to what Vivian Sutton said.
"I’m planning to go to Stardust tomorrow, why don’t you join ."
Having thought it through, Selena Kensington suggested to Vivian Sutton.
Vivian Sutton had no objections and agreed, "Sure. My manager has given two days off, I’ll accompany you for a stroll."
Selena Kensington chuckled, "Alright."
Afterwards, the two hung up the phone on each other.
After hanging up the phone, Selena Kensington got up and left the bedroom.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Sterling Norwood who had just returned.
His steps were a bit swift, seemingly in a hurry.
But his expression remained calm.
Seeing his deanor, Selena Kensington frowned slightly.
She had the constant feeling that Sterling Norwood seed very busy these days.
But as for what specifically was keeping Sterling Norwood busy, Selena Kensington wasn’t sure.
It wasn’t feasible for Selena Kensington to demand knowing everything Sterling Norwood was up to because he also had his own privacy.
Sterling Norwood spotted her coming out, and his pace quickened even more.
He strode over and quietly asked, "Why did you co out? Feeling bored?"
Now that Selena Kensington was four to five months pregnant, watching her increasingly protruding belly, Sterling Norwood was more nervous than anyone.
Selena Kensington looked up at his words, smiled briefly, and then shook her head, "No."
"Just finished a call with Vivian and decided to walk around."
Upon hearing Vivian Sutton’s na after a long ti, Sterling Norwood paused for a few seconds.
Then he spoke with a touch of inexplicable tone, "Why did she co back..."
Selena Kensington picked up on a hint of reluctance in his words, her eyes slightly narrowed, "Your words seem to suggest you didn’t want Vivian to co back."
Sterling Norwood coughed softly, slightly averting his gaze.
But later, under Selena Kensington’s intimidating gaze, he had to look back.
He stared at Selena innocently, his voice a bit weak, "I didn’t an it that way..."
He looked like soone who had suffered a great injustice.
His deanor made Selena Kensington laugh in exasperation.
She glared at Sterling Norwood, "Alright, now you’ve learned how to play innocent!"
Sterling probably banked on her soft heart that couldn’t bla him as long as he showed a bit of submission, so he frequently pulled this stunt.
Sterling Norwood leaned closer, lowering his head, and nuzzled affectionately against Selena Kensington’s cheek.
Making the smile on Selena Kensington’s lips grow deeper and deeper.
"What does Vivian Sutton want with you?"
Sterling Norwood asked nonchalantly.
"Hmm?"
Selena Kensington lazily looked over, just catching Sterling Norwood’s sapphire eyes.
She followed with a smile, "Nothing much, she’s just back from filming and we haven’t seen each other in a long ti, so we plan to go out tomorrow. Just as Sloane returned a few days ago, I also want to check on her at Stardust."
Selena Kensington had been cooped up for months, with few opportunities to go out.
So, finally finding an excuse to leave, Selena naturally wanted to seize it.
Even though, when Sterling Norwood heard she planned to go out, he frowned slightly.
Selena blinked and continued, "I’m just going to Stardust, nowhere else. So, no need to worry."
"Besides, I haven’t been out in so long, aren’t you worried I’d go stir-crazy... You know, if a pregnant woman is unhappy, you’d suffer too, cough... you get it."
Selena Kensington finally gave Sterling Norwood a slightly aningful look.
"..."
Of course, Sterling Norwood understood.
If his wife was in a bad mood, he would naturally be the one to suffer.
And once his wife acted up, it was an all-out tantrum that illustrated perfectly what it ant by ’spoilt with favor’ and ’unreasonable.’
Even more frustrating was that Sterling Norwood couldn’t bring himself to scold her, even saying a harsher word wouldn’t do.
Because Selena Kensington had beco especially sensitive since pregnancy, as long as Sterling showed a hint of impatience in his words, she would pick up on it and start fantasizing.
In such cycles, it was Sterling Norwood who ended up suffering repeatedly.
Hearing this, he sighed a little.
With helplessness in his expression, he gazed at Selena Kensington, "You’ve got wrapped around your finger."
"Hehe..."
Selena Kensington raised her chin slightly, a bit smug.
Her deanor had a pampered charm to it.
Afterwards, she started tugging on Sterling Norwood’s wrist, preparing to go downstairs.
"By the way, what were you in a hurry for earlier?"
Selena Kensington asked.
"I was worried you’d be bored, so I hurried back after finishing up."
Sterling Norwood answered her question calmly and added afterwards, "Who knew, maybe you don’t need to accompany you..."
When he said this, his tone had a trace of resentnt.
As if accusing Selena Kensington of abandoning him.
Selena Kensington rolled her eyes in exasperation, "Co on, are you acting again?"
"Just in ti, accompany for a walk in the courtyard."
Selena Kensington would go for a walk in the courtyard every few days to relax her mind.
And, naturally, it was always Sterling Norwood accompanying her.
After saying that, Selena Kensington began tugging Sterling Norwood’s wrist, heading downstairs.
Sterling Norwood naturally couldn’t bear for her to exert herself, so he ended up holding Selena Kensington by the waist, guiding her downstairs.
*
Once they reached the courtyard, Selena Kensington freed herself from Sterling Norwood’s embrace and walked on her own.
She would occasionally spread her arms or touch her belly.
Halfway, she turned around, walking backward while asking Sterling Norwood, "What have you been busy with these days?"
She casually asked.
Originally, after the matter with Sidney Dalton and Roxanne Sutton was dealt with, Selena Kensington had indeed relaxed.
But Sterling Norwood beca increasingly busy.
He was often not at the main residence, and even when he was, he spent most of his ti in the study.
Even the ti he spent with Selena Kensington had significantly reduced compared to before.
At first, Selena Kensington thought Sterling Norwood was handling the aftermath of Sidney Dalton’s affair, but several days had passed since Sidney Dalton and Roxanne Sutton’s situation, and Sterling Norwood was still busy.
Initially, Selena Kensington didn’t think much of it, but as Sterling Norwood continued to be busy for several days, she began to sense sothing was off.
"...Investigating sothing about ’Rosemary.’"
Sterling Norwood said vaguely.
"Earlier, Mrs. Hill sent over a package of docunts related to ’Rosemary’ from both overseas and dostically. Even though this dossier was initially screened by Mrs. Hill, it still contains over a thousand entries related to ’Rosemary.’
At the words, Selena Kensington stopped walking backward.
She walked back to Sterling Norwood’s side, "What’s included?"
She curiously asked.
"There are countless landmarks, locations, shop nas, symbols related to ’Rosemary’... and so on."
Sterling Norwood replied to her.
