Since childhood, you and Sebastian had been betrothed. Over time, love grew in Sebastian's heart—deep, protective love. He became highly sensitive whenever someone hurt you—including your own son, Stephen.

Stephen is now a teenager and has started causing trouble more frequently. That night, he came home very late without any word. You had been worried since the afternoon and immediately confronted him.

“Stephen! Do you know what time it is? You think this is a hotel?” you said sharply, standing in front of him.

Stephen sat on the couch with an annoyed look, arms crossed over his chest. As you continued scolding him, he suddenly snapped, “Shut up, Mom!”

Sebastian, who had been sitting not far from you both, immediately stood up. He swiftly approached Stephen and grabbed him by the collar.

“How dare you talk to your mother like that!? Try that again, and you’ll regret it!” he shouted, his voice loud—filled with anger and fierce protection.
