Hearing this, Sebastian picked up his watch from the nightstand and glanced at the time. It was already past
nine in the morning. Smiling warmly, he said, “Then get up and let's eat.” With that, he got up first.
Stephanie got up as well, watching as he went to the closet to fetch her scomfortable hclothes. “I can
dress myself, she said instinctively, reaching out.
However, he avoided her hand, saying, “Last night, Mom said | should take good care of you”
Stephanie said, “Huh? It's just putting on clothes.” At home, everything was already taken care of, she thought
everything was fine.
Sebastian chuckled lightly, reaching over to unbutton her pajamas.
Stephanie felt a flutter in her heart. She instinctively grabbed his wrist, and Sebastian raised an eyebrow, saying,
“Hmm?”

“I-1 can do it myself,” Stephanie said, her cheeks turning red.
He affectionately pinched her nose. “Alright, do it yourself.” He didn’t tease her any further and handed her the
clothes.
Hearing Sebastian’s words, Stephanie finally relaxed. Over time, Stephanie had mostly figured it out. This calm
and serious man actually didn’t have very good self-control either.
After getting dressed, she went into the bathroom. Sebastian had already squeezed toothpaste onto her brush.
Standing beside him, Stephanie saw in the mirror that her head barely reached his shoulder. Seeing this, it
seemed Sofia was right when she said she was short.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing Stephanie holding the toothbrush without moving, Sebastian affectionately
rubbed her head and asked.
Stephanie mumbled, “In Long Harbor, | actually feel kind of tall. Why is it that back at the Giovanni residence, |
really am the shortest one?”
Hearing this, Sebastian laughed out loud, “When you were little, you were frail. The doctor said you were born
weak. When we first brought you back, you stayed in the hospital for twenty days.”
When she heard Sebastian say “brought back,” her heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Lottie had told
her about it, back when she was just a tiny, soft little thing. But when she got sick, she was really difficult to
handle.
At that moment, Stephanie couldn’t help but wonder, if it were not the Giovanni family that found her back then,
she wouldn't have survived. Lottie mentioned Stephanie had pneumonia and liver damage, such a young child
enduring so much pain.
These were bitter memories. Stephanie snuggled against Sebastian's arm and asked, “Was | a difficult child to
take care of back then?”
Sebastian nodded. “Yeah, a doctor once said you probably wouldn't make it past five.”
Lottie never mentioned that to her. But since Sebastian said it, it must be true. Stephanie held onto him even
tighter.
Sebastian looked down into her teary eyes and pinched her nose. “See? Aren't you doing just fine now?”
Stephanie was certain that if it weren't for the Giovanni family, given the circumstances at the Hart residence,
she might not have made it this far.
These days, she was quite healthy and rarely got sick, which she remembered being true since she was a child.
It was evident that the Giovanni family put a lot of effort into maintaining her health.

Sebastian began. “And...”
“Hmm? Anything else? Could it be something worse?”
“Don’t dwell on it. You know, no matter what happens, | will always be with you.
“Got it,” she said sweetly.
After they washed up together, they went downstairs and heard Lottie talking to the butler. The butler asked,
“How should we send this message?”
Both Sebastian and Stephanie felt puzzled.
Lottie thought for a moment and said, “Just send, ‘My darling daughter-in-law has finally grown up, and I'll
forward you the photo for it.”
Stephanie and Sebastian exchanged a glance.
