Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Setting aside her utensils, Stephanie wore a trace of bitterness on her features. "Silver Fox, if you can defy the march of time and remain eternally youthful, why am I denied the same privilege? It seems everyone else gets a reprieve from aging, leaving me to bear the

brunt of becoming the eldest in the family, correct?"

Give me a break! She thought.

She really should have kept her mouth shut and just eaten her dinner in peace.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

But she was so happy to be home, she couldn't help but speak.

Sebastian replied coolly, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Marilyn chimed in, "Exactly."

"Alright, alright, I'll shut up. Let's eat," Stephanie quickly dug into her food, only to hear Sebastian set down his fork. "Mrs. Bishop, you asked me for help finding a job. Well, I found one."

Marilyn's eyes lit up. "Which company?"

"Skyline Corporation..."

"Ah..." Stephanie almost choked on her food. "You want my mom to work at your company?"

"Yes, we have an opening in the finance department."

"Mom, aren't you planning on taking a break for a while... Can your health handle working so soon?"

"I've been resting for over two months now, I'm feeling great. You can ask Judith, I've been staying with Seb and I've been doing really well! I don't want to impose on Seb anymore... Once you go back to school, we should go back home." Sebastian looked surprised. "Mrs. Bishop, are you not comfortable living here?"

"No, no, no... I'm very happy when living here, but it's not right for me to stay here before you two get married. I only moved in because Steph wasn't here. Now that she's back, it's best if we go home and Steph only stays here occasionally." Sebastian nodded. "Then move into the castle... It's been renovated and is ready for occupants."

Stephanie was taken aback. "Already?"

"Martin works very efficiently... You can go check it out tomorrow. That's going to be your home from now on."

Marilyn quickly shook her head. "No, no, no... That can be your wedding house, I won't live there."

Sebastian responded calmly, "We can all live together after the marriage, I don't mind."

Stephanie's brow furrowed in

bewilderment. "Mom, what's amiss? Don't you envision us residing together in the future? Even if

matrimony binds me to him, wel.net"

can

surely maintain our shared abode."

Marilyn gave a bitter smile. "Seb isn't a stranger... You know my situation... My reputation isn't good, I don't want to cause any trouble for you two."

If everyone found out that Steph was the illegitimate child of the Klein family, she would be looked down upon for the rest of her life.

"Mrs. Bishop, you don't need to

worry too much, I don't care about these things... If you think the castle is too far from Skyline Corporation, you can stay in the company's

dormitory... I'll have Martin arrange a separate room for you, and you can visit us on weekends."

For some reason, Sebastian added that last bit.

He hadn't planned on doing that.

Stephanie agreed enthusiastically. "That would save me a lot of time commuting to work, and I could

come here to study on weekends et

Mom, think that's a great idea! You should consider it, the castle might be too big for you and I'll be living at sehool most of the time, so you

might feel lonely."

Marilyn pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is the company dormitory far from the company?"

"It's a five or six-minute drive, or about half an hour on foot... Mrs. Bishop, do you have a driver's license?"

"My mom has a car! She used to have a small sedan, she drove to work and drove me to school every day... but she sold it after she got sick." Sebastian asked, "What about you? Do you have a driver's license?"
