Chapter 711: Men at Thirty Are in Their Prime
"At the prime of life, what’s wrong with that?"
"...Have you forgotten about me?"
Silas Sinclair asked with a somber expression.
"..."
Selena Kensington fell silent immediately.
Right, Silas Sinclair was already in his thirties.
In three or four more years, he could become a bachelor.
Thinking of this, Selena Kensington coughed lightly, trying to gloss over what she just said, "Cough, it’s nothing, men bloom like flowers at thirty..."
Silas Sinclair’s tone was melancholy, "I just want a wife."
"Oh, then keep wanting."
Selena Kensington immediately put on a cold face.
Sterling Norwood couldn’t help but laugh.
"..."
Silas Sinclair glanced at Selena Kensington’s rounded belly and said nothing more.
He could only tell himself inwardly that offending Selena Kensington would definitely be a huge mistake.
Because no one would stand by his side, not even his own wife might stand by him...
After chatting with Silas Sinclair for a while, Selena Kensington saw Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton coming down from upstairs.
Today was the Dalton Family’s banquet, and it was also the day they announced the next Family Head.
As the only young lady of the Dalton Family, it was no surprise that Felicity Dalton appeared at such an event.
But...
Since realizing that Felicity Dalton was a counterfeit, Selena Kensington couldn’t feel at ease around her.
Only because she had to deal with Roxanne Sutton afterward, Selena Kensington temporarily didn’t have the energy to focus on Felicity Dalton.
However, during this period, after staying in the hospital for a while, Felicity Dalton was discharged.
Her daily routine after discharge was no different from before.
Selena Kensington watched Felicity Dalton hook Hugh Kensington’s arm as they came down, and the arm Felicity Dalton was holding was the same one Selena Kensington had once infused with Heavenly Master Power.
She remembered how Felicity Dalton’s reaction was quite dramatic at that time...
But now, Felicity Dalton seemed perfectly fine, calmly holding Hugh Kensington without any sign of abnormality.
Selena Kensington discreetly scrutinized Felicity Dalton, feeling something odd but unable to pinpoint it.
Seeing Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton approaching, Selena Kensington composed her expression.
"I’m going over to chat with Hugh and Quinn."
Seeing that Sterling Norwood and Silas Sinclair were together, Selena Kensington was at ease leaving the two brothers to themselves.
"Mm."
For once, Sterling Norwood had no objections.
Selena Kensington was focused on Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton and didn’t notice anything strange about Sterling Norwood.
After hearing Sterling Norwood’s response, Selena Kensington walked over to Hugh Kensington and Felicity Dalton.
Once Selena Kensington left, Sterling Norwood’s calm smile faded, and his eyes grew icy.
He looked at Silas Sinclair, with a hint of warning in his voice, "Don’t mention that in front of her."
At that moment, Silas Sinclair also regained his serious and steady demeanor.
There was no trace of the expression he had while chatting with Selena Kensington.
Hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, Silas Sinclair glanced at him, "You really don’t plan on telling her anything."
Sterling Norwood shook his head slightly, "Her belly has grown, and her thoughts have become much more sensitive and changeable. Telling her would only worsen her state."
Sterling Norwood could see that, even though Selena Kensington seemed to be doing well and continued taking the medication,
there were times when things went out of her control.
Increasingly sleepy, sometimes lost in thought for long periods, and if it weren’t for Sterling Norwood speaking up, she would barely notice the passage of time.
Other than dealing with Roxanne Sutton’s matters, Selena Kensington’s good condition remained consistent, but most of the time, she was alone, lost in her thoughts.
Sterling Norwood didn’t know what she was thinking about, so absorbed that she often ignored his presence.
Sterling Norwood asked Grandma Jennings, who told him it was a normal reaction for pregnant women.
And because Selena Kensington’s pregnancy was unique, her reactions were more pronounced than usual.
While Sterling Norwood felt slightly relieved, he still couldn’t be entirely at ease.
Therefore, he didn’t reveal his plans to Selena Kensington, which caused him concern.
Especially about the ’Apocalypse Revelry Feast’ mentioned by Lark Mayfield, which Sterling Norwood initially didn’t plan to let Selena Kensington know about.
But since Selena Kensington guessed it herself, Sterling Norwood didn’t hide it from her.
"...I feel like I’ve eaten a mouthful of dog food."
Silas Sinclair snorted lightly.
After saying this, Silas Sinclair’s expression turned serious, "You asked me to thoroughly investigate Zoe Sinclair’s identity. I looked into it and indeed found something amiss."
"What do you mean?"
Sterling Norwood immediately turned his attention.
After returning from the Sinclairs’ welcome party for Zoe Sinclair, Sterling Norwood had asked Silas Sinclair to investigate her.
Although Silas Sinclair knew his cousin was a bit cold and strange, he hadn’t suspected her of any plots.
Until Sterling Norwood pointed it out, Silas Sinclair gradually realized the gravity of the situation.
Sterling Norwood and Silas Sinclair had known each other since childhood, and Silas was well aware of Sterling’s character.
Anything worth Sterling Norwood’s personal attention was no small matter.
Adding to the potential implications for the Sinclair Family, Silas Sinclair decisively began investigating Zoe Sinclair in secret.
"Previously, when Zoe Sinclair was in The D-Nation, she commuted between The D-Nation University of Science and Technology and her home on weekdays, and on weekends, she worked as an auxiliary at a private research institute in The D-Nation."
"I investigated that private research institute; its background is pretty clean, and Zoe Sinclair couldn’t access top-level research there, only handling some minor external research."
"Apart from that, Zoe Sinclair had the peculiar habit of spending a whole day in a café called rosemary every half month. I haven’t found out what she did there yet."
"What did you say?!"
Sterling Norwood suddenly interrupted Silas Sinclair, frowning.
"Where did Zoe Sinclair go?"
Sterling Norwood asked again.
Silas Sinclair met Sterling Norwood’s icy gaze and repeated, "She spends a whole day every half month at a café called rosemary."
"rosemary..."
Sterling Norwood muttered those three words softly.
He felt something odd but couldn’t pinpoint it.
"What, is there an issue with the café?"
Silas Sinclair instantly became vigilant.
Sterling Norwood glanced at him, "It’s not the café that’s the problem, but the name of the café..."
"Send someone to check what secrets that café holds, or it wouldn’t warrant such regular visits."
Now, anything related to ’rosemary’ drew Sterling Norwood’s full attention.
