Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 754: Principles Can’t Compare to Making My Wife Happy

"Additionally, Ronan was affected by the news of the marriage between Vincent Sinclair and Aunt Estelle, and his condition was not good during that period."

"Under such circumstances, he lost control over the powers within his bloodline and went out of control."

"At that time, when Aunt Estelle heard the news, she didn’t hesitate at all to go and rescue the people of the Luminar Clan. Unfortunately... she ultimately lost her life in that battle."

"To awaken the out-of-control Ronan, she risked her life, but she didn’t expect to die at Ronan’s hands."

"..."

Selena Kensington couldn’t have imagined such a tragic end.

It just had to happen on the day of Vincent Sinclair and Esther Jennings’ wedding...

What a blow it must have been to Vincent Sinclair!

"What happened afterward? What became of Vincent Sinclair?"

Selena hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Sinclair was greatly impacted by this; he went mad when he saw Aunt Estelle’s body. Afterward, he became an entirely different person, increasingly strange and terrifying..."

"Later, he directly bypassed The Empire and the Norwood Family to launch a siege on the Luminar Clan. He wanted everyone in the Luminar Clan to accompany Aunt Estelle into death... Luckily, The Empire and the Norwood Family quickly became aware of this, and before Mr. Sinclair could cause irreparable harm, he was already driven out of the Sinclair Family, as they could no longer tolerate him."

"Once the brilliant and dazzling figure of the Empire, Mr. Sinclair eventually became lost and unknown..."

The story ends with the early demise of Ronan and Esther Jennings.

And Vincent Sinclair alone bore the pain of losing his beloved, ultimately causing significant mistakes.

Even though Selena hadn’t experienced it herself, just listening to Grandma Jennings’ account.

She felt a lump in her throat.

Clearly, at the start, they were rare talents in the world.

But in the end, fate made a fool of them, and cause and effect were unpredictable!

"So, does that mean the era saw the simultaneous fall of three brilliant individuals?"

Selena’s eyes reddened slightly, a lump in her throat as she spoke.

Because in her mind, the Esther Jennings she had known was always a serene, strong, and reliable elder.

Yet she never imagined such a past existed.

Grandma Jennings nodded, "Yes... it’s very unfortunate, so we kept a tight seal on this matter at that time. Apart from the people of that era knowing the truth, you youngsters could only hear it through rumors."

After hearing the truth of those years, Selena’s mood suddenly became much heavier.

When Sterling Norwood came to pick her up, this heavy mood still hadn’t improved.

Sterling raised his hand, gently placing it at the corner of her eye, softly caressing the skin there, "Why are you crying?"

Selena forced a thin smile, sniffing slightly.

"It’s nothing."

"Just that grandma told me a story, and I felt a little sad."

Sterling paused the hand on Selena’s face, then lowered it, holding Selena’s hand instead, "Then shall I tell you a story tonight?"

A flash of surprise crossed Selena’s eyes, "You know how to tell stories?"

"..."

Isn’t it just reading words? What’s difficult about that?

Sterling thought to himself.

And then that night, he faced his trial.

Because Selena actually brought him a storybook.

"Come on, tell a story to the baby!"

As Selena spoke, her eyes sparkled with interest, and even her expression brightened noticeably.

Seeing her so happy, how could Sterling bear to refuse her?

After all, it’s just reading words.

There’s nothing difficult about it.

So Sterling laid down on the bed, and Selena took the opportunity to snuggle up, leaning against him.

Sterling opened the storybook that Selena handed him.

"...The Little Mermaid?"

"Thumbelina?"

"The Ugly Duckling?"

Sterling murmured softly as he looked at the table of contents.

But as he read on, something felt increasingly off, so he simply glanced at the cover at the back.

And emblazoned on the cover was ’Andersen’s Fairy Tales.’

"..."

Though Sterling had never read the so-called Andersen’s Fairy Tales, just a glance at those table of contents made him feel a bit resistant inside.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at Selena who was still waiting for him to start telling stories.

"Why these stories?"

Selena looked puzzled, "Huh? Aren’t these the fairy tales meant for babies to hear..."

Sterling gently hinted, "I think our babies don’t need these..."

Selena slightly narrowed her eyes and spoke with an unfriendly glint, "I think they do."

The words were filled with threat.

After she finished speaking, she gave Sterling’s hand a little slap.

"..."

Forget it, better not provoke the wife.

In his quest for survival, Sterling chose to compromise.

Though he started to read one of the stories.

He couldn’t even finish a few sentences before Selena interrupted him, "Is this how you tell a story?"

Her eyes carried doubt.

"...What’s wrong with it?"

Sterling calmly replied.

"Of course something’s wrong, storytelling needs passion, what’s the meaning of dryly reading words? Maybe even the babies have complaints."

After saying this, Selena felt the two little babies in her tummy kick her.

She immediately seized the moment and said, "See, they kicked me, indeed they have complaints!"

"..."

Sterling hadn’t expected those two little ones to be this bold even before birth.

But since his wife was here, and not wanting to upset Selena, Sterling chose to wait until the kids were born to settle the score with them.

Later, Sterling tried his best to read with more passion to satisfy Selena.

"It’s not enough, you need to modulate your voice more!"

This time, Sterling lasted two or three minutes before getting corrected by Selena again.

"..."

Sterling continued trying to read with both emotion and modulation.

But it seemed Sterling wasn’t cut out for storytelling, as he stumbled through even one story.

Later, Selena just nestled in his arms, laughing while correcting him.

She seemed to find joy in this, seizing the chance to tease Sterling.

Only after Selena got tired of playing, and when it was almost time, did she finally let him off.

When Selena lazily lay in his arms, Sterling finally let out a sigh of relief.

Then he threw the storybook onto the table beside him.

He vowed, he would never want to tell stories again.

But less than a minute after making that vow, Selena moved slightly in his arms, then looked at him with sleepy eyes and murmuringly said, "Will you still tell stories to me and the babies in the future? I like the way you tell stories..."

Listening to Selena’s lazy and pampered voice, his heart had already softened.

The vow he just made was instantly forgotten.

"Alright."

What’s more important than making his wife happy?
