AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane was shocked. When she looked up, she saw the enthusiastic Jessica Ramos. Her shock immediately turned to joy as she said:

-Jessi, when did you come back?

Jessica had accompanied her mother abroad for a show a week ago, and Roxane didn’t expect her to come back so soon.

“I heard you didn’t marry Diego Rios, so I rushed to celebrate your escape from the sea of bitterness,” Jessica said, reaching out to pinch Roxane’s cheek.

It was the first time Roxane heard the name Diego after their failed marriage. His heart was instantly flooded with disappointment, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

Jessica put her arm around Roxane’s shoulder and said comfortingly:

– Okay, don’t be sad. There are thousands of men in the world. You can always look for a new one! After all, you are so beautiful and kind. Are you afraid of running out of suitors?

From the beginning, Jessica didn’t like Diego. This is why she decided to accompany her mother and go abroad so as not to have to attend the wedding of her best friend and this hypocrite. She really didn’t understand what Roxane saw in Diego.

Roxane smiles.

– I’m not sad. I guess we just aren’t meant to be together.

Jessica clearly didn’t believe Roxane. How could Roxane not be sad when she loved Diego so much? She rolled her eyes before suddenly saying:

– Roxane, let’s go to a club.

– Eh?

She was stunned. She said hesitantly:

-That doesn’t seem like a good idea.

She had never been to a club before since Enzo had strictly warned her not to go to such places. Otherwise, he said he would show her his artistic talent using his paints.

Jessica didn’t think too much about it, saying:This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

-Why isn’t this a good idea? Look at you; you are a beautiful university student. Previously, you didn’t even want to date and insisted on getting married immediately. You don’t go to clubs and have fun. All you do is stay in the studio and paint. Sooner or later you will paint until you become a little fool.

-I’m not a little idiot.

Roxane protested.

Before she could finish speaking, Jessica had already walked him to his car and said:

– Let’s go eat first. Then we’ll go shopping for some clothes before heading to the club. A new club opened recently, and it’s pretty good. There are a lot of handsome men there…

…

Night has fallen on the bustling city.

Roxane followed Jessica into the crowded club. There were a lot of people there because the club was new.

This clearly wasn’t Jessica’s first time here. She dragged Roxane through the crowd to the bar counter before ordering two Cosmopolitans.

However, Roxane hurriedly said to the bartender:

– I want a glass of lemonade.

Jessica rolled her eyes.

– Come on. Who would come to a club for a glass of lemonade?

-If my brother knew you took me to a club and let me drink…

Without waiting for Roxane to finish her sentence, Jessica raised her hand and surrendered.

-Okay, okay, you can have your glass of lemonade.

Roxane smiled. After the bartender handed her a glass of lemonade, she sipped it slowly.

Jessica said indignantly, her cheeks puffing:

“If Enzo finds out I tried to make you drink, he’s going to skin me alive. I can’t afford to offend him.

– What did you say?

It was too loud in the club so she didn’t hear Jessica.

— Nothing, said Jessica before pulling Roxane’s hand and adding:

– Come. Let’s go dancing.

– Eh?

A stunned and helpless expression immediately appeared on Roxane’s delicate face.

– But I do not know how…

After pulling Roxane onto the dance floor, Jessica started swaying her hips and said,

– It’s not difficult. Move as you wish…

Roxane stood in the crowd and watched the people around her dance. Everyone was dancing differently and they seemed very happy. Maybe the music was too good or she was infected by Jessica, she let go of her apprehension and slowly started to move. At the same time, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

The DJ was pretty good. The atmosphere in the club was at its peak.

At that moment, the doors of the club were pushed open. After that, the music stopped abruptly and the lights came on.

– Police ! We received a report that there were minors here.

Half an hour later.

Roxane was holding her phone which was out of battery. She was so anxious that her face turned red while looking at the police officers. She said :

-I’m really an adult. I am an art student at a university. It’s true that I forgot to bring my ID card.

The police assessed Roxane before he said:

– I understand that girls your age are very curious. However, it is best to wait until you are an adult before visiting this kind of place. Okay, come with us. Tell your parents to come pick you up from the station.

-Sir, I…

The policeman didn’t bother to listen to Roxane and busied himself with checking the other people’s ID cards.

Jessica did her best to hold back her laughter. In the end, she couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Roxane looked at Jessica.

– You still have the audacity to laugh! What should I do now?

She thought she was really unlucky. It was the first time she came to a club and she was mistaken for a minor. Not only that, but she had to go to the police station to wait for her parents to pick her up.

Jessica shrugged her shoulders and said innocently:

– You should follow the police to the station and tell your family to come get you.

– You’re not afraid that I’ll call my brother?

Roxane asked in a threatening tone.

-Ah, I have to leave now! Bye. Jessica said waving her hand before rushing off.

– Eh? Jessie? Jessie!

Roxane wanted to pursue Jessica. How could she leave her at that moment? Unfortunately, she had only taken two steps before being pulled back by the policeman.

– Don’t think about escaping. Follow me to the police station.

Roxane looked like she was about to cry but had no tears.

-I’m really an adult.

“Okay, okay, come with us,” the policeman said. Now that the inspection was over, he wanted to take the miner with him and leave.

Roxane remained motionless. She felt like her legs were filled with lead.

The policeman nudged him on the shoulder and said:

– Let’s go.

She gave up trying to explain and lowered her head dejectedly. She was about to step forward when she heard a cold voice ringing in her ears.

– Wait a minute.

Roxane looked up and saw a man coming down from the second floor. His long, slender legs were covered in black suit pants. He wore a white shirt with two of the top buttons unbuttoned, revealing his sexy neck and Adam’s apple. At this moment, he looked at her without emotion.

-…

She fidgeted, feeling uncomfortable. She thought she didn’t even feel that embarrassed when Diego abandoned her on their wedding day. It was much worse than a social death.

Sebastien didn’t seem to notice Roxane’s discomfort. He approached the policeman and said:

– Officer, she’s an adult.

The policeman looked at Sebastien and asked:

– Do you know her? What is your relationship?

Sebastien glanced at the young woman whose head was lowered before saying tonelessly:

– It’s my wife.

Roxane raised her head and looked at Sebastien in disbelief with her starry eyes.

“Why did he say I was his wife? Shouldn’t he say I’m his friend’s sister?”

The policeman looked at Sebastien suspiciously as if he were a pervert.

Sebastien did not explain. He turned and looked at Patrice.

Patrice immediately pulled the policeman aside and began to explain in detail.

Who knew what Patrice had said, but the policeman seemed to believe Sebastien after that. When the policeman returned, he looked like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said to Roxane:

“I really didn’t expect you to be an adult. You look too young! Next time, don’t forget to take out your ID. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause misunderstanding.

Roxane whispered softly:

– Yes, it’s my fault if I look young.

She raised her head to brush back her bangs when she saw a pointed gaze directed her way.
