"Mrs. Bishop, don't worry, she's with me."
Upon hearing this, Marilyn breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, Seb. Let Steph talk to me for a sec."
Sebastian handed the phone to Stephanie and said, "Your mom wants to talk to you."
With a pained expression, Stephanie whispered, "Silver Fox...I'm gonna get grilled by my mom. Can you help me out?"
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh at her adorable face. He put the phone back to his ear and said, "Mrs. Bishop...Steph is afraid you're gonna scold her and doesn't dare to take your call."
Stephanie was stunned. He's being so straightforward?
Couldn't he come up with a better excuse to help her mom cool down? Was he doing it on purpose?
Marilyn couldn't help but laugh, then scolded with a smile, "That little brat, so bold with you backing her up, even ignoring my phone call..."
Sebastian smiled, "Please don't blame her. It was my negligence. I forgot to inform you when I took her out. She thought I had already told you, and I thought she had already told you. Turns out neither of us did. Sorry for worrying you."
Marilyn was not stupid. Although this excuse was reasonable...Oh well, why should she bother with her future son-in-law?
She should be happy that he's protecting her daughter.
She replied, "I understand. No harm done. I trust Steph when she's with you..."
"What if she doesn't come home all night? Would Mrs. Bishop still trust me?" Sebastian suddenly asked, catching Marilyn off guard.
Upon regaining her composure, she forced a smile and said, "Sebastian...Steph is still a young girl..."
Sebastian chuckled, "Don't worry, Mrs. Bishiop. I won't do anything to her. It's just that the place we're going to tonight is quite far away from the hospital, and it's already late. Steph's tired and about to fall asleep in the car...I have a villa nearby, so I thought I could let her rest there tonight and send her back to the hospital tomorrow morning. If you don't trust me, I can send her back right away."
