The moment the words fell, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Then...
A stern female voice sounded, "Stephanie! Enough is enough! Even if you saved someone, you shouldn't make them promise to marry you! Do you even remember you're a girl?!"
Sebastian laughed after hearing that.
After hanging up the phone, his mood inexplicably improved. The grudge of being scolded as ugly and old was effortlessly avenged.
Stephanie's mom grabbed her wrist and spanked her butt a few times until she finally calmed down.
"Mom! It's not like that... He's just making things up... I didn't force him, he said he'd marry me on his own!" Said Stephanie.
"On his own?" Said Marilyn.
"Yes, he said it himself; he's going to take responsibility for me!" Said Stephanie.
Responsibility...
Under what circumstances would a man promise to take responsibility for a woman?
After that incident, Morton once said he would take responsibility for her too.
Thinking about this, Marilyn's vision went black and she nearly fainted from anger.
"Mom! Don't scare me!" Stephanie shouted.
Marilyn laid on the bed, tears streaming down from her hollow eyes, "Just leave... I don't want to see you right now."
"Mom..." Said Stephanie.
"Go!" Marilyn snapped.
Stephanie knew that when her mom made up her mind about something, there was no room for explanation.
Well, the doctor said she shouldn't get angry, so just give her some time to figure it out slowly.
But Sebastian, that old pervert... He was done for!!
She greeted the nurse and asked her to take care of her mom and arranged for two bodyguards to guard the door.
Then, Stephanie went to work.
