NovelEnglishHearing the sudden sound of running water from the bathroom, Stephanie finally let out a sigh of relief.
After putting the food container on the small table, Stephanie walked to the bathroom door with a smile on her face and knocked, saying, "Mom, are you using the restroom?" "Cin." Surprisingly, Marilyn's response from inside was quite friendly.
Stephanie pushed open the bathroom door with a bit of surprise and couldn't help but be taken aback by the scene in front of the mirror.

She had dampened the stray hairs that had been sticking up and smoothed them down. She had even put on slight makeup on her face, looking much more energetic than before. Seeing this, Stephanie asked puzzledly, "Mom... What are you doing?" Marilyn meticulously combed her hair before turning around, smiling at Stephanie and saying, "Will you go shopping withthis afternoon?" With a helpless expression, Stephanie said, "Mom, how did you know I got my paycheck today?" Marilyn hesitated for a moment before replying, "You got your paycheck?" "Yeah! It's quite a lot! Working at a nightclub sure pays well! I definitely made the right choice taking this job!" Said Stephanie.
Marilyn seemed to be in a good mood as well and playfully wagged her finger at Stephanie, saying, "You're a girl, after all, and doing such a dangerous job isn't appropriate... Even though the pay is good, that kind of job isn't suitable for girls." Stephanie said, "Mom, don't talk about that now. I got this job on my own merit and am making money on my own too! My boss appreciatesa lot and even gavea bonus!" "Enough with the nonsense. Just quit your job, you don't have to risk your life earning money anymore with Sebastian around. Just get back to school." Said Marilyn.
Sebastian? Who was that...
Confused, Stephanie asked, "Mom, what are you talking about?" What was she even saying? After graduating from high school, her mom had gotten ill, and she didn't have the mood for studying. Since then, she'd been working as a security guard at a bar.
Marilyn, with a beaming smile, said, "Sebastian cto visittoday and even boughtflowers and plenty of supplements." "Mom, who on earth is Sebastian?" Asked Stephanie.
Marilyn looked a bit angry and glared at her, saying, "Don't you know your own fiancé?" Upon hearing this, Stephanie's eyes widened, and she blurted out, "You're talking about that Sebastian?" Oh god! That old sleazebag had already cby? When did he come? What had he talked to her mom about that suddenly and completely changed her demeanor from the past few days? She'd been completely ignoring Stephanie before, but now she was all smiles, and even spoke about that man in a tender tone. Why did her mom suddenly change like this? It was so strange.
No, she had to find that old sleazebag and ask what he did during his visit today.
