Chapter 185
Stephanie was speechless and said, "Mom, he agreed."
Marilyn instantly beamed and said, "Well, help me pack up quickly, then we can go home together. I'll make a menu. You can buy the groceries, and I'll cook Seb a decent lunch!"
Seeing her mom so excited, Stephanie didn't have the heart to say anything to dampen her enthusiasm.
After all, Sebastian, the big shot CEO, has tasted all kinds of delicacies. Would he care about our simple homemade meals?
But apparently, Sebastian did care.
When Stephanie went out to buy groceries, Sebastian's car had already arrived at the alley.
He still had some impression of this alley, even the garbage heap was clear in his memory.
The last time Stephanie saved him, it was midnight.
When he left in the morning, it was after dawn. His memories from the previous night became clearer when he walked through this alley again. Sebastian never thought that he would walk through this alley a third time in his life. Nor did he expect that he would remember Stephanie's home so vividly after just one visit.
Sebastian walked straight to the courtyard and stopped.
Marilyn had just returned home, and the house was full of dust from being empty for a while. Wearing a mask and cleaning, she saw someone standing outside the yard.
She quickly grabbed a broom and went out, "Is that you, Seb?"
Sebastian, hearing her, walked into the courtyard and said, "Mrs. Bishop."
"Oh, it's really Seb! Come in and sit down. The house is a bit messy. Let me get you a stool, and we can sit in the yard."
Marilyn didn't expect Sebastian to come so early.
Sebastian didn't expect that it was already lunchtime, and he was invited to eat, but it seemed as if they hadn't started cooking. "Don't bother, Mrs. Bishop. I can just grab one myself."
Hearing this, Marilyn didn't insist anymore.
This kid didn't show any disdain for the simplicity of her home, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Sebastian moved two small stools out and handed one to Marilyn. Then they sat down in the yard, basking in the sun.
Honestly, Sebastian hadn't sat on a small stool like this since he was a child.
His long legs were bent as he sat
there without any discomfort. On the
contrary, under the sunlight in the yard, he felt quite relaxed.
It was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Marilyn poured him a cup of teaand said, "Seb, you don't often come to places like this, do you?"
Sebastian replied indifferently, "No. Is Steph not home?"
"She went to buy groceries and should be back soon."
As they talked, Stephanie walked into the courtyard with the groceries she just purchased.
When she saw Sebastian sitting on the small stool in her yard, soaking up the sun, Stephanie thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. How could her little stool be worthy of someone like Sebastian, the pride of the heavens? It just seemed so unreal.
"Steph is back! Come on, Seb is here.Ggive me the groceries, and I'll take care of them. You chat with Seb."
"No, Mom, stop it. You're the one who's just been discharged from the hospital. Let me do it."
"I still have enough energy to cook a meal. It's no big deal! It's Seb's first time visiting our home and you mustn't neglect him. Come and sit with him. I can handle everything alone!"
