Spoiled by the Silver Fox

But Sebastian didn't take Emily's words to heart. He just smiled and said, "Emily, can you keep an eye on Steph for me?"

"Sure thing, Sebastian. As long as I'm around, there's no way Steph is straying. I'll be on her like a hawk!"

"Emily, who exactly is your Steph?"

"You!"

"Well then, why are you helping others instead of me?"

"Sebastian isn't an outsider. He's Steph's husband! It's Sullivan who's the outsider! I've seen him spacing out while looking at you several times. I bet he's got some bad intentions!" "You little rascal! What do you know? When has Sullivan ever spaced out looking at me? I haven't noticed it at all!"

"Steph, your eyesight's crap, so of course you wouldn't notice!"

"Who's got crap eyesight! Silver Fox, look at her. She's even more annoying now than when she had autism! She's mouthier than ever and worse than a scheming adult!" Sebastian just smiled, "I think Emily's quite alright."

"See, even Sebastian is praising me!"

"Huh, I finally get it. You two are in cahoots!"

"Steph, you're blind if you're just noticing this now. Sebastian and I have been in cahoots for a long time! Don't worry, Sebastian. I'll keep a close eye on Steph for you." "Good, when I come back from overseas, I'll bring you a gift."

Stephanie was not pleased, "What about my gift? Do I get one?"

"No, you don't."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Bad Silver Fox! Am I not your girlfriend anymore? What happened to our sweet romance? We've not been apart for long, and it's already not sweet anymore!" Sebastian replied, "What's a girlfriend? Is it edible?"

"Silver Fox, are you for real?"

"Come on, Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."

"Hmph, that's more like it! What time is your flight tomorrow?"

"9 in the morning."

"Then you'll have to get up at 7. You should get some rest. I won't bother you. When you get there, remember to video call me."

"Sure, Martin will be going with me. If you have any problems, contact Gracie."

"I know, with Emmert around,

everything will be fine." This was one

of the Reasons why Sebastian could travel overseas without worries.

He was used to looking after her, and he would be uneasy if he couldn't protect her when he was away.

"Alright, get some rest."

"Goodnight, Silver Fox."

After hanging up, Sebastian's smile eventually faded. Sullivan? A rival in love? Always staring at Stephanie on set? Kids might joke around, but they don't lie, especially one as clear-minded as Emily.

When he gets back from overseas, he'll look into this guy.

Sebastian trusted Stephanie implicitly, but she still didn't understand a lot of things. He would have to look out for her.

After hanging up, Stephanie and Emily had a playful squabble on the bed.

Without Sebastian backing her up, Emily was like a soft persimmon.

After a few playful scratches from Stephanie, she surrendered.

"I'm sorry, Steph. I won't speak out of turn again."

"Hmph, don't I know you? You're worried that if Sebastian and I break

up, our friendship will suffer, so you

said all that stuff on purpose.

"Wow, Steph, you actually figured it out!"

"How could not see through a little

girl like you! But it's not bad. Let Silver Fox realize that I, too, am attractive and can be pursued by

others. He should cherish me more."
