Spoiled by the Silver Fox novel Chapter 756

Emily nodded, "I get it now."

"What do you get, kiddo?" he scoffed. "What can a little squirt like you understand?"

He was clearly just killing time, shooting the breeze with her.

"I get that Grandpa's not just pulling my leg... he means business. Thank you, Grandpa."

Jaxon raised an eyebrow and said, "That Snider girl has been spoiled rotten since she was a tot, a law unto herself. It was one thing when she had her brothers to dote on her, but now, without their protection, she’s still as brazen as ever. She’ll stir up trouble sooner or later. But don't you worry your little head, sweetheart. She wouldn't dare cross this old man."

"So do I need to stick close to you to stay safe? But I want to hang with my fellow apprentices..."

"That’s up to Sebastian, the rascal. We agreed that my name alone would keep Rebecca at bay... But since he’s so concerned about you, I reckon he’ll make sure you’re protected."

"I don’t know... but Seb has been good enough to me already. It’s just my rotten luck that always causes trouble for people around me."

"At your age, blaming bad luck? Listen, your fate is what you make it! Even if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you can still mess it up if you don’t know how to live life. And those who do know how to live... take Stephanie, that cunning little minx. She’s got my grandson wrapped around her finger, utterly smitten. That’s not luck; that’s savvy. She came from the slums, for crying out loud. How lucky could she have been? It’s all about living smart and making your own way!"

Emily pouted, "My sister apprentice doesn’t play games; that’s why Seb likes her. Seb doesn’t go for the manipulative types, the ones with a different face for every occasion. But in the world of high society, that’s almost everybody. And Seb liking my sister is a good thing..."

Jaxon smirked, "Good? When they’re from two different worlds?"

"Grandpa... If I really, really cared about you, all I’d wish for is your health and happiness, for you to be carefree and cheerful every single day. That would be enough for me."

Jaxon blinked at her words. "Is there a hidden message in what you’re saying?"
