Selena Kensington blushed and suddenly lowered her head.
She suddenly noticed a jewelry box placed on the table. It was a wooden jewelry box with an incredibly antique look, with a somewhat dim hue, appearing quite old.
"Is this... sandalwood?" Selena Kensington was somewhat taken aback, as only the Norwood Family would use sandalwood for a jewelry box.
Sterling Norwood picked up the sandalwood box and opened it.
Inside lay a bracelet crafted from bright red blood jade. The color of the blood jade was vividly red and transparent, appearing quite ancient yet still radiating vibrant hues.
Selena Kensington wasn't aware of the value of blood jade, but such a piece was clearly of exceptionally high quality, and being fashioned into a bracelet, she couldn't fathom how large the original piece of jade must have been.
Selena Kensington watched as Sterling Norwood slipped the Blood Jade Bracelet onto her wrist; Selena's hand was slender and fair. Wearing the Blood Jade Bracelet, her hands appeared even more delicate and alluring.
"This is the symbol of the Norwood Family's Lady; wearing it, anyone in the Norwood Family can obey your orders," Sterling Norwood explained lightly, yet it startled Selena Kensington's heart.
What?!! She suddenly felt like she was wearing a hot potato.
If this thing were to spread outside, it would become a highly coveted object.
The mere fact that anyone in the Norwood Family could be ordered around is enough to drive people wild. The Norwood Family has a long history, mysterious origins, with kin spread nationwide and even internationally.
No wonder so many women want to marry into the Norwood Family.
Selena Kensington smiled cunningly, "Anyone, including you?" She saw Sterling Norwood shake his head slightly; just when Selena wanted to move past it,
she heard Sterling Norwood say, "I don't need that thing."
Though it was a straightforward statement, it made Selena feel the tenderness and profound affection in his words.
Ordering him doesn't require the Blood Jade. He would do anything for her, relishing it sweetly.
If initially marrying Sterling Norwood was due to past emotional experiences, guilt, and the ambition to reclaim Stardust Entertainment, now she found herself being moved by this man.
Looking into the man's eyes, which could drown someone with their deep blue hue, Selena felt that the starry sky couldn't compare to the starlight in his eyes, falling into her heart.
Afterward, Selena was coaxed cheerfully inside by the man.
Sterling Norwood initially wasn't accustomed to drying her hair, but later, since Selena was too lazy, every time she loosely dried it with a few blows and ran out into the wind. Sterling, concerned she'd catch a cold, began to learn how to dry her hair.
Feeling the warm breath on her head, Selena played with the Blood Jade Bracelet in her hand, and after thinking for a while, put it away. This thing was too valuable, too dangerous.
It's safer to leave it with the Norwood Family.
"Husband..." Selena suddenly called out, the man's hand holding the hair dryer paused, then Sterling Norwood heard Selena say, "We've registered the marriage certificate, where's the ring?"
"...Very soon." The man's deep voice rang out; Selena nodded, not minding, feeling that having only a marriage certificate was somewhat unreal.

A few days later, Selena looked at the ring on her hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
A pure azure gemstone was carved into a Knotweed flower, small, exquisite, round, and smooth, set into the ring. That color was like the man's eyes, catching a glimpse unwittingly, enough to make someone fall.
Selena also learned that Knotweed is the Norwood family's clan flower, representing sincere, everlasting love.
Selena really liked this ring, cherishing it even more after knowing its background.
This matter was heard a few days ago while walking with the elder; the ring was personally designed by Sterling Norwood. The gemstone carved into a Knotweed flower was personally selected by Sterling.
A month ago, a very pure and dazzling azure gemstone had just been unearthed in Valoria; due to its rare perfection, when brought back to the country, it encountered interference from some local forces, prompting Sterling Norwood to personally make a trip.
