Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Sebastian raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of amusement, "Thank you, Grandma... A sports car, huh? I'll have someone deliver it in three days. What color would you like?"

Brenda replied immediately, "Bright red... the kind that turns heads. I've always wanted one since I was young, but your granddad was too tightfisted to ever buy me one. Such a penny-pincher... But you, Sebastian, know how to treat your grandma right." It wasn't that Granddad was stingy; he just saw no need for it. After all, at her age... to still have a fancy for a bright red sports car... Sebastian had to suppress a smirk.

Still, he nodded in agreement, "Alright."

"Oh, bless you, Sebastian. Just curious, where's the love nest you've prepared for your uncle's wedding?"

"I'll send you the address. You can take a look ahead of time and get things ready if you like."

It had been a good while since Aaron Ingram had stirred up any trouble. And he hadn't butted heads with Sebastian either. Considering his good behavior, Sebastian was more than willing to indulge his granddad and set up a decent wedding house for him. Brenda's face lit up with a grin. "That's wonderful. When Sebastian pulls out all the stops, he doesn't hold back."

Sebastian just lifted his eyebrows, saying nothing. Brenda had set the bar high with her praise. Now, if the house wasn't up to snuff, it would be like slapping his own face.

But Sebastian didn't sweat the small stuff. Aaron's marriage to another wealthy family was a matter of pride for the groom's side. Jaxon hadn't even asked what kind of house Sebastian had in mind, because he knew Sebastian had everything under control. As the head of the Ingram family, he had a reputation to uphold, so he wouldn't settle for anything subpar. Otherwise, if word got out to the bride's family, the Ingram name would suffer.

In the study, Jaxon looked over at the strikingly pretty young girl and quipped, "Ever learned your ABCs, kiddo?"

Emily shook her head, "Mom never taught me."

Jaxon frowned, "Not knowing your ABCs? What's that about... Come on, let Grandpa teach you."

Emily blinked and asked, "Why does Grandpa want to take me in as your goddaughter? Just to get under Seb's skin?"

"Wow, kiddo, you're pretty sharp for your age..."

"Yeah, Seb and my big sis always say I'm smart."

"Speaking of your big sis, didn't she come with you?"

"She's still snoozing..."

"She stayed with this young man last night?"

Emily nodded, "My big sis and Seb always stay together. Whenever they're home, they share a room."

Jaxon nodded knowingly, not saying a word. He'd been young once. He understood.

But Emily persisted, "You haven't answered my question, Grandpa."

"Sebastian's grandma was my first wife."

"How many wives have you had, Grandpa?"

"In my youth, a fortune teller told

Emily blinked, "So you had three wives in total."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Does that have anything to do with my question?"

"Since I brought it up, of course it does... The first child Sebastian's grandma was expecting was a girl... Sadly, she didn't make it. If she had, she would have had eyes just as bright and alluring as yours... Had she been born, she would have been just as beautiful as you. As you get older, you start to feel the weight of your regrets... Sebastian brought you here for a reason; he knew what he was doing, maybe trying his luck. And at the same time, he's giving you, young lady, a bit of protection."
