Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Marilyn glanced at the lunchbox on the bedside table and asked, "Did you make food for me?"

"Yep, I got paid and was in a good mood, so I made your favorite dishes." Answered Stephanie.

"Your cooking is really delicious... but today I actually wanted you to go shopping with me and eat out." Said Marilyn.

"Mom, with your current condition, can you leave the hospital?" Asked Stephanie.

"It's alright. I asked the doctor; it's no problem." Said Marilyn.

"Why'd you suddenly want to go shopping? It's been so long since you went shopping. I wanted to take you before, but you didn't want to." Said Stephanie.

"It's different now... Steph, you don't know, I was so embarrassed today. If I had known Seb was coming to visit me, I would've cleaned myself up and left a good impression on my future son-in-law... But it's not too late; he said he'll come see me again." Said Marilyn.

Stephanie didn't know how to react when listening to her mom constantly mention Sebastian. But her mom hadn't been this happy in a long time, so she didn't say anything to dampen the mood.

If her mom knew about that Sebastian having an affair in a bar restroom, she'd probably have a meltdown.

"You still got to eat first, even if you're going shopping. I made the meals already." This was a lunch that took her two whole hours! She couldn't let it go to waste!

Marilyn's eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah, it'd be such a waste not to eat it... but it's been so long since I ate out with you. Why don't you send this food to Seb? He left his business card today with his company's address on it." Suggested Marilyn.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Stephanie was so pissed off. This Sebastian was too good at winning people over. One visit and he's got her mom all smitten?

And he was trying to get her to send him lunch? This was a meal she made herself! How could she give it to that guy!

Seeing Stephanie's unwilling face, Marilyn's expression turned pale "Steph I've been thinking, maybe I shouldn't bother with my illness. Let's go home... I won't make you do anything you don't want to

"Mom! You can't do this! I promise!" Said Stephanie.

Then Marilyn finally smiled, "Steph, you're always so obedient. Seb is really a good guy, very reliable."

In the end, Stephanie reluctantly left the hospital with her mom and the lunchbox.

She didn't want to give her hard-cooked meal, meant for her mom, to that sly fox Sebastian. But considering her mom's current happiness and vitality, she couldn't refuse.

Because she knew it was really important to her.

Her mom used to be sick and hopeless, having given up on the desire to survive. All she wanted was to settle her daughter and then leave this world in peace. But now, having found a purpose in life, she suddenly realized the world was still beautiful and worth living for.

For this reason, she didn't want to do anything that would upset her mom at the moment.

They originally planned to take a taxi

to Skyline Corporation, but halfway

there, Marilyn scrutinized her daughter from head to toe and asked the driver to stop, looking displeased.

Stephanie excitedly asked, "Mom, did you finally change your mind?"

Marilyn looked at her disapprovingly and said, "Do you even remember how to be a girl? You're too untidy!"

Wow, she was actually being looked down on by her own mom.
