AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

At the Moon Pavilion.

Roxane sat on the bed with Jessica’s gift on her lap. She was sad and reluctant when she thought of Jessica going abroad.

When Sebastien came out of the bathroom, he saw her unhappy face. He asked :

– What’s wrong ? Why do you look like you just broke up?

Roxane pouted.

– Jessica is going abroad! I don’t know when she will come back. This is the birthday present she gave me in advance.

-Aren’t you going to open it?

She thought about it for a moment and shook her head.

– I’m going to save it for my birthday.

There would be no surprises if she opened it now.

Since she mentioned his birthday, he took the opportunity and asked:

– How do you want to celebrate your birthday? What gift do you want?

She hugged the pillow and shook her head.

– I do not want anything. I just want to have a meal with my friend.

Alas, Jessica was leaving. This ordinary birthday wish could not be fulfilled.

Sebastien had a slight headache. Last year it was okay because he didn’t know about his birthday. However, now that he knew it, he naturally had to celebrate his birthday. However, he didn’t know what she liked.

Roxane had to send Jessica away the next day, so she wasn’t in the mood to have fun with Sebastien at night. She went to bed early.

…

The next morning, she woke up early. After having breakfast, she left immediately for the airport.

Sebastien was worried that she would cry at the airport, so he asked Patrice to postpone the morning meeting so that he could accompany her to see Jessica leave.

Jessica’s long hair was tied into a ponytail and she wore light makeup on her face. His luggage had already been checked. When she saw Roxane, she waved her hand that was holding her boarding pass.

Roxane let go of Sebastien’s hand and rushed to kiss him.

-Jessi!

As soon as she opened her mouth, she choked. She really couldn’t bear to part with Jessica.

Jessica patted her back comfortingly, but her own eyes were also red. She tried her best to suppress her reluctance to part ways before saying:

– Do not Cry. I don’t want Sebastien to dismember me.

Roxane knew Jessica was joking to cheer her up. She sniffed and tried to control her sadness. Then, she reached out and took the bag from Sebastian’s hand before handing it to Jessica.

– I did it early in the morning. Don’t forget to eat it.

She accepted it and thanked Roxane. Then she patted his head and said:

– From now on, you have to take care of yourself when I’m not by your side. If someone bullies you, you should bully them back! Don’t hold it back. Don’t be stupid and let it go, you know?

Roxane nodded.

– You need to take care of yourself when you are abroad. You need to send me messages and video call me. Most importantly, you have to tell me when you find yourself a boyfriend!

Jessica smiled and agreed. Then she looked at Sebastian as she gathered her courage and said:

– Although it is redundant for me to say this, I still want to say that I will leave Roxane with you. Please take care of her.

Sebastian nodded.

– Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.

He patted Roxane’s head, looking at her affectionately.

Jessica also knew that with Sebastien, there was no need to worry about Roxane. After taking a deep breath, she said:

– Okay, I’m leaving!

Roxane’s eyes reddened again.

-Jessi, have a good trip! Send me a message or call me when you arrive!

She nodded. As she walked away, she waved again. When she saw Roxane in tears, she also felt her tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Before her tears fell, she quickly turned around to hide from Roxane’s eyes.

Roxane could no longer suppress her sadness. She lowered her head as her tears fell, not wanting Sebastian to see her cry.

How could he not know she was crying? He held her face and gently wiped her tears while coaxing her.

– Do not Cry. I will accompany you in the future…

Roxane threw herself into his arms crying.

– It’s different! Jessi is my best friend. You are my boyfriend…I mean, my husband…

“You finally remember that I am your husband,” said Sebastien as a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He gently caressed her cheek and said:

-You have to remember that I am not only your boyfriend, but also your husband…

Roxane’s heart was warmed by Sebastien. Her tears gradually stopped flowing.

– Why not skip class today and follow me into the company? Sebastian asked. He knew she would be in a bad mood so he wanted to be with her. There was an important meeting he had to attend, so he could only suggest bringing her to the company.

Roxane hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.

– I better attend my classes. I don’t know if Professor Watson will look for me.

He was slightly disappointed, but he didn’t force her.

– GOOD. I’ll send you to college.

– All right.

She nodded as they walked out of the airport. After a while, she thought of something so she asked:

– Seb, what do you think of the fact that I’m studying abroad?

Sebastien was very sharp. He immediately grasped the main point of her words and asked:

– Do you want to study abroad?

She didn’t hide it from him.

– Well, after winning the competition, I was recommended to be an exchange student. However, the duration of the exchange is a little longer than expected.

Sebastian’s expression didn’t change, but his eyes immediately darkened. He asked in a slightly tense voice:

– Why do you want to study abroad? Is there a particular teacher you admire? I can help invite him back to the country…

She immediately frowned.

-Why are your actions so exaggerated?

– I’m serious, said Sebastien seriously, holding her hand firmly,

– You are still young. It’s not safe for you to go abroad alone. If anything happens, I won’t be able to help you.

The Flores group was such a big company. It was impossible for him to go abroad to accompany him every day.

She bit her lower lip and said nothing. She could naturally sense his disapproval and resistance.

Sebastien continued to say in a tense voice:

– Your parents will also be worried about your going abroad. I’m serious. I will invite the teacher you like here.

No matter how much it cost, he was determined to help her.

Roxane shook her head.

– It’s not necessary. Besides, I haven’t accepted anything yet. I’m still thinking about it.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sebastian’s frown deepened.

-Are you going to think about it again?

She shook his arm and said:

– This concerns my future. Of course I have to think about it.

He looked down, hiding the darkness in his eyes. Then, he said indifferently:

“Okay, then take your time to think about it.

After saying this, he got in the car first.

Roxane looked at his figure and bit her lower lip, feeling uncomfortable.

-Is he so opposed to my going abroad?
