AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane tilted her head and looked at Sebastien before saying:

-Are you trying to trick me into giving birth to your child?

Sebastien looked at her innocently and said:

– You like children, don’t you? How can you say I’m cheating on you?

-Right now, I just want to study hard and focus on painting. I don’t want to have children yet, Roxane said, carefully observing his reaction.

Sebastian’s expression didn’t change at all. He rubbed her head and said:

– So, don’t forget to tell me when you want to have a child. I promise to work very hard to give you a child.

Roxane’s face turned red as soon as she heard his last sentence.

“Seb is a dirty demon king!”

…

After Mathis followed Fernand, the Moon Pavilion became much quieter.

Roxane’s low mood also disappeared after a few days.

It was almost Christmas so the whole town was already beautifully decorated.

Without Jessica and Christine, Roxane was almost alone at university. From time to time, she would go to the cafeteria to have lunch with her classmates. Everyone was friendly and polite, but it was difficult to build a close relationship.

It seemed normal. The older people got, the harder it became to make new friends. Plus, she’d never been good at making friends.

At the end of the lessons, the sky was quite dark.

Roxane stretched her limbs and moved her stiff neck. When she looked around, she found that her classmates had already left. She sighed deeply as she looked at her finished painting with a hint of satisfaction.

Suddenly, a man’s voice rang at the door.

– How long do you plan to admire your own work?This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Jonas standing at the back door of the classroom.

Although it was very cold outside, he was only dressed in a black t-shirt. His arms were crossed in front of him, and he had a slight smile on his face as he looked at her.

– Why are you here?

“To find you, of course,” Jonas said, uncrossing his arms and placing them in his pockets. He walked over and looked at the painting before saying:

– Not bad. Is it for me?

Roxane shook her head.

– It’s my duty.

Jonas’ eyes flashed briefly as he asked:

– So, when will you give me the painting you promised me?

Roxane thought about her promise to Sebastien to no longer have contact with Jonas. However, she had given Jonas her promise before this so that she could not go back on her words. Therefore, she said,

– I’m going to paint it during the winter holidays. I’ll give it to you after the New Year.

Jonas had no objection. He raised his chin slightly and said:

– Let’s go. I’ll treat you to dinner.

She shook her head and said:

– No need. I want to go home for dinner.

Then she packed her things before leaving.

Just as she was about to walk away, Jonas reached out and grabbed her arm.

Roxane was surprised and quickly pushed his hand away. She took a few steps back and looked outside the classroom.

– What’s wrong?

Jonas frowned. His eyes glowed coldly as he asked:

-Did he say anything to you?

She bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Jonas sneered.

“Just because you refuse to say anything, you think I won’t be able to guess?”

– He didn’t say anything, but I don’t think we should be friends, Roxane said. She didn’t want Sebastien to feel unhappy.

Jonas’ heart sank and he felt as if his heart had been pierced by an ice cube. His gaze was cold as he asked:

– So you’re going to listen to it like that?

– He is my husband. It’s natural for me to take her feelings into consideration, Roxane said.

– So, if one day he tells you to go to hell, will you also obey and go to hell?

He asked mockingly.

Roxane shook her head.

– It is impossible for Seb to tell me to go to hell. He won’t be able to live if I really do this…

Jonas was choked by Roxane’s words. He felt like a 1, 000 pound weight was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult to breathe. After a while he asked:

– Do you trust him so much?

“Yes, I will always trust him,” Roxane replied without hesitation.

The last glimmer in Jonas’s eyes was extinguished by these words. His hands at his sides were clenched tightly into fists and his blue veins were raised. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment, and when he met her clear eyes, he felt even more unbearable. After a while, he said through gritted teeth:

– Roxane, one day you will realize that he is not as good as you think. At that time, even if you cry and beg me, it won’t do any good!

– ???

He turned around and walked towards the door.

Not wanting to let him have the last word, Roxane said:

-Whether or not he’s as good as I thought he would be has nothing to do with you! Besides, why would I cry and beg you? Ridiculous! You think too much!

Jonas rushed out of the classroom and out of the building. A gust of cold wind blew over it, blowing away half of his frustrations and complicated emotions.

After getting on his motorcycle, he looked at the building and muttered under his breath:

-You really don’t know what’s good for you.
