Chapter 669
opportunity to compare her daughters with our Steph.
"Seb, you absolutely cannot. I know Carol too well. She was indeed nice to me when I was a kid. But as we grew up, she started to have some crooked ideas. She's not educated, and her two daughters are all high and mighty. In the past, she never passed up an Steph is a child without a father. She's already pitiful enough, yet she's been belittled and bullied by Carol's daughters. Ah, never mind; I won't bring up the past.
But Seb, what I'm saying is, stay out of it. I'm planning to play it by ear. If they back off knowing the difficulty, fine. If they persist, my temper won't stay this good forever." Sebastian's suggestion of arranging a job for them was just a tentative one.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Stephanie disliked those people so much that he wouldn't let them set foot in his territory and cause trouble for his girl.
Seeing that Marilyn's thinking was rational and she didn't speak up for those freaks anymore, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Well, as long as you understand." Marilyn immediately realized that Sebastian was testing her.
She couldn't help but laugh and say, "Seb, don't think I'm a naive housewife. And don't underestimate single mothers. I've raised my good daughter by acting both as a father and a mother, and I've been through a lot. Is there anything about the ways of the world that I don't understand?
The last time, I forgave them considering that they did raise me and Carol was indeed nice to me in the past. But if fifty thousand can buy off kinship, what's there for me to care about? I've long since seen through their intentions. Seb, just rest assured."
Sebastian felt a bit complicated and said, "Mrs. Bishop, you are a person worthy of respect, and you are a good mother."
"Seb, I'm glad you don't mind my chatter. Encountering such a thing during the day really depresses me, so I've talked a lot with you."
"That's all right; of course you can chat with me like this; I'm happy to."
"Haha, Seb, I'm glad you don't mind. But it's time to get back to work. You have lots of things to do, so I won't bother you."
"You go ahead with your work. Should we tell Steph about their visit?"
"No. If we tell that hot-tempered girl, she'll definitely jump up and curse. Let's not tell her for now."
Jump up and curse. Was she really that fierce?
Sebastian couldn't help but find this a bit amusing.
"Okay, I won't tell her about this."
After hanging up the phone, Marilyn felt much better and continued working.
Sebastian also kept his word and didn't tell Stephanie about it.
Stephanie spent a few days resting and eating well at home, and she looked in good spirits.
She got so used to the good life that she
the even want to go back to
the set to continue filming. In the end,at took a stern phone call from Emmert to get her back.
The night before going back to the set, Stephanie was all over Sebastian, hugging and kissing him, clearly reluctant to leave. Sebastian was at his wit's end with this naughty girl.
And yet, she was leaving tomorrow.
She was just a clingy girl.
That night's entanglement ended with Stephanie surrendering and begging for mercy.
So when Stephanie left the next day, she didn't feel a bit reluctant.
The feast Sebastian gave her was so filling that there was no reason for her to feel reluctant.
She felt that if she stayed with Sebastian any longer, there would be no good days ahead!
།
After returning to the set, Emmert looked at her with a weird tone and said, "Wow, you've been having a good time recently, haven't you?"
Stephanie laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I guess."
"You dare to laugh! I'm paying you to act, and you are even reluctant! Is that stinky boy so attractive that he took your soul away? You disappeared for several days, and now you don't even want to act anymore, do you?"
