Second chance

36. Are My Son Suitable for Erika?

As expected, the journalists chased after their car, but they had left the road section of the school. The car sped away as Stephanie stepped hard on the accelerator. Taeyeon looked at Stephanie with a sweet smile on her face and asked, "Why are you here?"

It felt like they had returned to the time when they had just fallen in love. Although they had taken the same major, they had chosen a different optional course. 

Every time they were in different classes, she would leave her class in advance and wait for him outside his classroom. When he saw her, he would sneak out from the classroom and run to the dining hall holding her hand.

Stephanie took Taeyeon's hand and spoke in a low voice. "I've finished my work." He didn't want to tell her that he woke up this morning and thought everything up until now was a dream, which was why he had come over to confirm whether he had really been dreaming or not.

Taeyeon gazed at Stephanie's profile. He really had a perfect face, almost flawless. Only, he was too thin, with a sharp chin and a lean body. Recalling how he looked in the past, Taeyeon felt her heart ache. She asked, "You haven't eaten well in years, right?"

He used to eat plenty when he was with her, almost all the things she didn't eat, but now he didn't want to have anything at all. Did he have a stomach problem?

Hearing her talk about food, Stephanie paused, and then smiled while holding her hand as he asked, "What do you want to eat? Let's go eat it."

Taeyeon felt slightly sad, but she still raised her face and smiled at Stephanie. "Of course Australian lobster and hairy crab! Yes, and the must-eat shrimp in scallion sauce."

Stephanie looked at Taeyeon only to find she looked sad. Despite her trying to look happy in front of him, he knew she was actually not happy at all, but he didn't want to tell her what he had been through—he couldn't. He couldn't make his beloved girl feel guilty, and he didn't have the heart to make her worry about his health, even though her care about him would make him happy.

Knowing that Taeyeon was going back home this afternoon, Stephanie took Taeyeon to a seafood buffet a few streets away from her school. Stephanie wore a mask and hat, and so did Taeyeon. 

However, Taeyeon was wearing a school uniform, while Stephanie was in a suit, so it looked... well, looked a bit strange for them to be together. Besides, it was 5 or 6 PM, and there were many people at the buffet, so they drew a great deal of attention...

Someone recognized that Taeyeon's school uniform was that of the First High School of City A and pointed their finger at her, remarking, "Today's high school students really don't behave themselves. Look, she's going out with a man at such a young age and came out for a date in school uniform..."

Some people even recorded videos with their cell phones and were about to post them online. Taeyeon frowned and said to Stephanie, "Let's find another place."

She couldn't activate 009 now, so she wasn't capable of deleting the videos uploaded on the net by those people within a short time. She decided not to show up in such places with Stephanie. 

Although she was already an adult, if those people uploaded the videos online, it would definitely impact her school negatively.

Stephanie frowned and his face turned cold. He raised his eyes to look at those people. Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, his cold gaze frightened them. Many of these people deleted the videos in their cell phones and some even made way for them.

Seeing Stephanie get angry. Taeyeon hurriedly tugged on his hand and in an intimate and loud voice, said, "Brother, haven't Mom and Dad arrived yet? Didn't they say they would be here at 5:30?"
