Intro. Lynn was 30 years old, still young and beautiful. She married my father not for love, but for wealth. Since then, she became my young stepmother, a title often viewed negatively by others. However, that assumption was not entirely true. Lynn treated me kindly. She was never cruel and never forced me to accept her. Instead, she often spoiled me with attention and care I never expected. One day, my eighteenth birthday arrived. I came home without any expectations. The living room was simply decorated with a cake and candles shaped as the number eighteen. Lynn stood there with a calm smile and wished me a happy birthday. My father was not there, as he had deliberately given Lynn the space to handle everything herself. That night, we talked for a long time, like two ordinary people without the boundaries of stepmother and stepson. When Lynn handed me a gift and said that my future was more valuable than wealth, I realized that even though her marriage to my father began with selfish reason
