Spoiled by the Silver Fox

In the blink of an eye, all the schools started their holidays too.

Throughout the holiday, Stephanie stayed in Sebastian's villa, barely stepping out.

She and Emily watched loads of sci-fi movies that Mr. Finnegan had shot before.

They also studied some foreign sci-fi movies and how robots were portrayed.

However, those were real robots. When it came to humans playing robots only a few famous male actors abroad nailed it.

Stephanie and Emily watched these movies over and over again.

With Ashley dropping by regularly for lessons, they gained some understanding of robots.

As for whether they could perform to Emmert's satisfaction, well, that was anyone's guess.

On the eve of Christmas, Ashley came to take Emily away for the holiday.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Emily bid Stephanie goodbye reluctantly, promising to return and stay with her right after Christmas.

This even made Ashley a tad jealous.

Who was Emily's real mom after all?!

Emily wasn't as close to her as she was to Stephanie.

This proved that Emily felt closer to Stephanie than Ashley did to Emily.

After all, kids are like mirrors. They reflect how much you like them in how much they like you.

The kinder you are to them, the more they'll love you.

This Christmas, Ashley spent it with Emily and Gracie, but over at Gracie's, there was an extra person.

That person was Maximus.

The nation's beloved good guy, Maximus, had gone public with his relationship.

As he got older, he became a mature man. Fans had been worrying about him for years, so when he announced his relationship, he received many blessings. There were blessings from friends in the industry and from fans. In short, Maximus had gone from being a single guy to the happiest man in the world.

He always prepared delicious food

when he visited Gracie, so much so that Gracie put on a bit of weight in a short period of time and complained endlessly.

Ashley was green with envy and even scolded her for not knowing how lucky she was because she always picked fights with Maximus.

But Maximus didn't mind. He had made a big decision to win back Gracie's heart and cherished their relationship very much.

He was so good to Gracie that it was

hard to describe. Whether it was work or life, he gave it his all. He gave all the money he earned to Gracie or used it to buy gifts for her. He only kept enough money to buy cigarettes for himself, but he finally quit smoking under Gracie's pressure.

Both of them were getting older. Having a child at this age would undoubtedly make Gracie an older mother.

Maximus suggested they adopt a child instead.

But Gracie insisted on having her own. Maximus had no choice but to keep her well-fed and plump.

Then they would try to have a child, and if she couldn't get pregnant, they would adopt.

They had settled into their life together.

On the eve of Christmas, they invited many friends, including Mr. Finnegan, Dashiell, Stephanie, and some old actors, to their home for dinner. Maximus cooked, and Gracie entertained the guests.

Dashiell brought his girlfriend, who seemed to be his family's arranged marriage partner.

But their relationship seemed okay, so Dashiell brought her along.

Dashiell's girlfriend looked about twenty-four or five, very beautiful but a bit aloof, always maintaining a superior attitude.

Dashiell was a bit embarrassed and secretly explained to everyone, "That's just her personality; she'll be better when she gets to know us."

I guess she might only relax around your family.

She seemed to look down on us in the entertainment industry.

No one took the initiative to talk to her.

Gracie teased Stephanie, "Didn't President Ingram come with you?"
