Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Sebastian, you rascal! If you could just handle it by yourself, I wouldn't have to deal with the woman I hate most in my life... Jeffrey thought to himself.

Arguing with Rebecca was enough to make him sick to his stomach!

But in the end, he won the battle in front of Ashley. Jeffrey felt quite smug for that.

Any man, no matter how mature he appeared, would act like a big boy in front of the woman he loved. Jeffrey was no different.

Inside the room, Ashley was feeling all kinds of emotions.

Upon hearing that Jeffrey was leaving, Emily, who was in Ashley's arms, immediately struggled to get down and rushed out of the room, shouting, "Daddy! Don't go!" Jeffrey paused at the door.

His daughter...was calling him Daddy.

This wasn't the first time, but he didn't know he had a daughter in this world then.

This time, he hesitated... He didn't know whether or not to acknowledge her.

He couldn't protect her mother eight years ago... Could he protect them now? Jeffrey felt lost.
