Marilyn glanced at the lunchbox on the bedside table and asked, "Did you make food for me?"
"Yep, I got paid and was in a good mood, so I made your favorite dishes." Answered Stephanie.
"Your cooking is really delicious... but today I actually wanted you to go shopping with me and eat out." Said Marilyn.
"Mom, with your current condition, can you leave the hospital?" Asked Stephanie.
"It’s alright. I asked the doctor; it's no problem." Said Marilyn.
"Why'd you suddenly want to go shopping? It's been so long since you went shopping. I wanted to take you before, but you didn't want to." Said Stephanie.
"It's different now... Steph, you don't know, I was so embarrassed today. If I had known Seb was coming to visit me, I would've cleaned myself up and left a good impression on my future son-in-law... But it's not too late; he said he'll come see me again." Said Marilyn.
Stephanie didn’t know how to react when listening to her mom constantly mention Sebastian. But her mom hadn't been this happy in a long time, so she didn't say anything to dampen the mood.
If her mom knew about that Sebastian having an affair in a bar restroom, she'd probably have a meltdown.
"You still got to eat first, even if you're going shopping. I made the meals already." This was a lunch that took her two whole hours! She couldn't let it go to waste!
Marilyn's eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah, it'd be such a waste not to eat it... but it's been so long since I ate out with you. Why don't you send this food to Seb? He left his business card today with his company's address on it." Suggested Marilyn.
Stephanie was so pissed off. This Sebastian was too good at winning people over. One visit and he's got her mom all smitten?
