Chapter 741
"Ugh, I'm starving. Let's head back."
"Sure thing. Gracie, here's some fruit I picked up for you. Have Maximus peel it for you when you have a moment, okay? Don't worry about the studio; my mentor's got it covered. You just focus on getting better. The baby comes first, always remember that!" Gracie felt a warm flutter in her heart. "Got it. Relax, I'll be fine. The doctor said the baby's doing great and it won't interfere with work."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"That's good to hear. Well, I'm heading home with Silver Fox now."
"Go ahead."
Mr. Finnegan and the others were also ready to leave.
But they waited until Sebastian and Stephanie had left before taking off.
The last thing they wanted was to share an elevator with that imposing man. His presence was too intense, even for those a generation ahead. It was better to avoid contact and keep their pride intact. Dashiell, on the other hand, didn't mind. He followed Sebastian and the others to the elevator.
On the way down, he casually asked, "President Ingram, about that Southern Town property, where are you and my brother planning to start development?"
Sebastian's voice was nonchalant as he replied, "No need for development."
Dashiell looked puzzled. "Huh? But my brother said he was partnering up with you to develop that land."
"Just tell your brother to sit tight, no planning or preparation needed. Just wait for my word."
"Oh. Okay, I'll let him know." Dashiell was confused but agreed.
On the way home, Stephanie cuddled Emily on her lap and asked curiously, "Silver Fox. Weren't you and the Wilson family's eldest planning to develop that property? Why the sudden change of plans?" "Don't worry your little head over it, kid."
Stephanie pouted. "I'm not a kid, Emily's the kid."
Emily mimicked the pout. "I'm not a kid! You're the kid, Stephanie!"
Stephanie glared. "Emily, you're getting cheekier by the minute!. dare you say everything to
not to me!" Content bebet
"Cause Seb won't fuss over it, that's why I said it!"
Sebastian chuckled. "If you know I won't fuss, then why bother telling me?"
"Cause it's fun! Seb, you didn't see it, but Stephanie was so scared!"
He had seen it.
The way Stephanie 's face turned white with fear was indeed amusing.
Emily knew how to stir the pot.
Listening to their banter, Stephanie was nearly fuming.
Fox
Perfect, she thought. Isolated by Sullivan and Emily on set was bad enough, but now it felt like Silver Fox and Emily were teaming up against her. They actually found scaring her amusing?
Sebastian found her indignant expression amusing. He reached out and pinched her chubby cheek "Looks like the weight's coming
back." Content belong chee

Stephanie swatted his hand away, annoyed. "Are you saying I'm getting fat, Silver Fox?"
"Seb just means that the weight you didn't lose before is coming back. Didn't say you were fat."
"Emily, zip it. I'm talking to Silver Fox."
"Seb, look, Stephanie is staking her claim. As if anyone doesn't know you're hers. Hmph, I'm not going to fight over you."
Stephanie took a deep breath. "Silver Fox, you see what I'm dealing with."
Sebastian smiled gently. "Emily's just being herself. And that's not a bad thing."
