Spoiled by the Silver Fox novel Chapter 680

"Emmert, you can't hold a candle to what I have with Steph. Why would I want to mess that up?"

"Are you saying that your relationship with Steph is better than mine?"

"Emmert, you can think whatever you want."

Stephanie felt that her grandpa's relationship with Sebastian was on the rocks.

Every time they met, it was like cats and dogs. It was just too much.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, she had to sit and eat, playing peacemaker by serving both of them.

They managed to get through dinner without a single fight.

After the meal, Stephanie walked Sebastian off the set.

" Sebastian, don't stoop to grandpa's level. He's been a bachelor all his life and is a bit of a recluse. He might come off as snarky and attention-seeking, but he's got a heart of gold."

Sebastian said, "I know."

"Then why do you keep locking horns with him and making him red in the face?"

"Have you seen Mr. Finnegan and Gracie get a tongue-lashing from him?"

Stephanie nodded.

"Have you seen him blow his top on set, scaring the hell out of everyone?"

Stephanie nodded again.

Sebastian then said, "If you don't want to get the same treatment, you have to stand your ground. Show him you're not a pushover, or you'll end up like them."

After a moment of thought, Stephanie felt there was a lot of truth in his words.
