Chapter 496
"That was all thanks to Stephanie," Mr. Finnegan said with a relieved expression.
"We've all benefited from Steph... So, Mr. Finnegan, are you going to make a movie specifically for Steph to star in?" Ashley joked.
Mr. Finnegan waved his hand dismissively and said, "Sure, but we also need to find the right script. If I'm not satisfied with the film, I won't do it." "Got it! It's also about fate! But your word is enough, Mr. Finnegan."
Sebastian lifted Stephanie into the car.
He had been drinking and couldn't drive, so he had a driver come to pick them up.
They both sat in the back seat and as soon as Stephanie was put down, she clung to his back, just like last time.
"I want you to carry me. Don't put me down. I want to be close to you."
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh. "Why do you want to be close to me?"
"Because when you carry me, you're like my dad."Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Not again!
Sebastian's smile faltered.
The driver in the front seat didn't dare to make a sound.
In the back seat, President Ingram said irritably, "Stephanie, if you say I'm like your dad again, you'll see!"
Always calling him dad-did he look that old? He was about to explode.
"You scare me, but you are like a dad; you make me feel safe, and you protect me like a dad."
He didn't have the capacity to have a daughter this big! Whatever. He can't reason with a drunk person.
Thankfully, on the road, as long as he was carrying her, she would obediently lay on his back, not making a fuss.
But she kept babbling nonsense.
Sebastian was getting a headache. Drunk Stephanie was a nightmare.
Only God knew how Sebastian endured it on the road.
Sebastian discovered that some things you really do get used to.
Being apart for a long time was fine, but being together made him miss her.
Sometimes, just watching Stephanie, or when she was
sleeping next to him, Sebastian

would recall scenes from the past.
No doubt, his heart was in chaos again.
When they got home and Sebastian carried
sanie back to her room
he didn't want to hold back anymore.
She was his. She always had been.
They were going to be married in the future, and they were engaged now.
Anything they did together was normal.
After convincing himself, Sebastian took a deep breath.
But before he had the chance to act, Stephanie grabbed his collar and pulled him towards her.
The last strand of restraint in Sebastian's mind snapped.
This was her choice.
In Stephanie's subconscious, she wanted this too, right? Then why should he hold back?
As a result, the next day, when Stephanie woke up, she found
f curled up in Sebastianel

arms!
"Awake?"
She tried to pretend to be asleep, but he caught her. Stephanie laughed awkwardly, "Heh heh. Morning Silver Fox."
