Upon hearing them mention the start of school, Selena Kensington finally realized it.
It seems... school starts the day after tomorrow.
Once school starts, she won't be able to live with the Norwood Family anymore. Not to mention the distance from Mount Serpentis to Aethelgard Media University; commuting every day would take three hours.
Besides, she doesn't want to be exposed right now. Living with the Norwood Family and going back and forth every day would inevitably reveal her.
That evening, Selena brought this up with Sterling Norwood.
"....." The man paused blowing his hair, his expression inscrutable.
Selena felt the heat on her head and pushed the man's arm in slight dissatisfaction. Always blowing in that spot felt very hot.
The man resumed drying.
"I'll still come home on weekends, how about that?" Selena continued, because after getting married and being apart right away... well, it's not really being apart; she just has to study.
The man responded with a vague "mm."
When he turned off the hair dryer and placed it aside, Selena, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly turned around and jumped into his arms. She laughed mischievously, "Why are you acting like a grieving husband?"
The man glanced at her, pressing his lips together.
Tsk, still so sulky.
Selena thought to herself, but outwardly she coaxed him, "It's not like I'm not coming back. It's just five days; if you miss me, you can contact me on WeChat..."
After coaxing him for a long time, Selena saw that Sterling Norwood remained unmoved.
She gritted her teeth and kissed him.
"....." Sterling quickly seized control, holding her down on the bed, kissing her tenderly.
Without a hint of lust, a sincere, gentle kiss.
By the end of the kiss, Selena found herself a little short of breath, only then did Sterling release her.
Selena was a bit stunned, as if she was dumbfounded. She was still amazed at Sterling's ability to learn; although during their first kiss he only knew how to nibble and bite, it hadn't been long before he learned how to kiss deeply.
Sterling tidied Selena's hair before hugging her to the pillow and covering her with the blanket.
"I'll arrange a place for you," he said, his blue eyes lowered, fixed on Selena who only had her head sticking out. Selena blinked, she knew Sterling had given in.
Indeed, there's nothing that a kiss can't solve; if there is, just kiss a few more times.
She shook her head, "No need, I have a place near the school."
After becoming an adult, she moved out of the Kensington Family and bought an apartment near Aethelgard Media University, where she lived with Hugh Kensington.
Sterling looked at her, "Your brother... lives with you?"
Selena replied, "...Yeah, but we're not in the same room." The apartment had three bedrooms and a living room. Besides the siblings' bedrooms, there was a room equipped with recording and singing equipment that Selena bought for Hugh's practice.
"He's an adult now," the man said slowly, in a flat tone.
But Selena could clearly sense the slight jealousy and displeasure in Sterling's tone. She laughed, "Hugh is my brother..."
How can this man be jealous of anyone, and his jealousy is kind of cute.
Seeing that Sterling still wanted to speak, Selena hastily coaxed him to sleep, agreeing to let him drive her back tomorrow.
Selena thought, coincidentally, Hugh should arrive tomorrow too.

The next day.
Selena started packing.
She actually didn't have much to take; she had everything in the apartment, but she simply couldn't part with those beautiful little dresses in the wardrobe. Eventually, she packed two suitcases.
Selena looked at the clothes, shoes, and bags filling the suitcase, feeling a wave of satisfaction.
These are a woman's life!
Selena is the kind of woman who, even if she has to sacrifice her own comfort, cannot give up buying clothes, shoes, and bags.
She is the type who can go without food or drink but must own this new trendy bag, the classic example. That's why Hugh constantly worried whether his sister would end up homeless unintentionally, always giving her the money he earned.
Finally, it was Selena who got Hugh a bank card to put his savings in, but the card was still managed by Selena.
