AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

She wanted to marry him. She even thought about having children and starting her own family. She had also probed his attitude towards marriage. However, his opinion on marriages was that they were a grave. Only a fool would dig his own grave.

Quentin was stunned. He knew Nadia was planning to get married, but he didn’t want to get married. He felt it was good enough for them to be together and have fun. Marriage was just a piece of paper, and it wasn’t important.

“I know you’re against marriage, but I’m not,” Nadia said after taking another drag of a cigarette. The smoke made her feel ethereal at the moment, making her even more charming. She continued to say:

– I want a family. I want a husband, and I also want to have children. However, you treated me like a bedfellow with whom you get along well. You won’t be able to give me what I want.

She had once thought that perhaps her love could change Quentin’s mind. Maybe he would marry her once he saw how much she loved him. However, reality showed that love could not influence one’s thoughts and opinions. She was an intelligent woman. Since there was no hope with Quentin, she decided to cut her losses. She didn’t want to waste time. There were many men in the world. Things didn’t work out with Quentin, but she could just find another person who shared the same thoughts as her.

After Quentin heard Nadia’s honest words, he was silent for a long time. As she had said, he was against marriage. No matter how much he loved her and how satisfied he was with her, he never thought of marrying her. He couldn’t give her what she wanted, so it was natural for her to leave. No one would be that stupid to stay knowing they couldn’t get what they wanted.

For this reason, he did not stop Nadia as she unlocked the door and got out of the car. However, his heart was filled with anxiety, unwillingness and helplessness.

Nadia was quite carefree compared to Quentin. She got out of the car and walked towards the elevator without looking back at all. After all, she had already felt the pain when they broke up. Now the pain in his heart was just like a needle prick. It wasn’t unbearable. As long as that idiot Quentin didn’t harass her, she thought she could find her next love.

When Nadia returned to the store, she raised an eyebrow when she saw Jonas sitting in her store. Why were the men so troublesome? She felt like she couldn’t even have a moment of peace. After putting out the cigarette, she entered the store.

When the chime rang, Jonas reacted first. He quickly tore the page out of the book.

Nadia looked at him and asked:

-Why are you tearing up a page from my comment book?

Jonas quickly stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket before clearing his throat and saying:

– I… I was drawing… it’s nothing.

Nadia’s eyes flashed suspiciously, but she didn’t question him. She only asked:

– What are you doing here?

– Well …

He felt guilty and didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Roxane looked up at this moment and explained:

– He said he wanted to borrow a bucket of water from you.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Jonah nodded.

– That’s right! My store ran out of water so I wanted to borrow a bucket of water from you!

Roxane believed Jonas’ flimsy excuse, but Nadia naturally didn’t. However, she did not report him.

– Follow me.

Jonas followed Nadia into the storeroom before pulling out a bucket of water and leaving.

Nadia washed her hands before leaving the reserve. As she dried her hands, she asked:

-Did Jonas say anything to you?

– No, said Roxane with clear eyes,

– He just asked me to paint for him.

Nadia nodded and looked at the time. It was almost six o’clock in the evening. It was already getting dark, but it was still as light as day in the mall.

-How is the painting? Are you hungry? Why don’t we eat first? You can finish the painting later, Nadia said. She did not dare to starve Roxane for fear that Sebastien would come and settle scores with her later.

Roxane was indeed hungry,

– There are still a few details I need to add, but let’s eat. I will finish the painting at home. When I’m finished, I’ll frame it before sending it to you.

Nadia nodded in agreement before asking the price.

Roxane shook her head quickly.

– It’s free. I am already very happy that you like my painting.

Nadia saw that Roxane was determined not to accept payment from him, so she thought about it for a moment before saying:

– Alright ! Next, choose a bottle of perfume, choose a few! You can choose the one you like!

– It’s not necessary…

Roxane felt like being able to paint helped her hone her skills anyway.

“If you don’t agree, it means you despise me and don’t want to be friends with me,” Nadia said. She didn’t want to take advantage of Roxane so she could only use this method.

“Okay,” Roxane said, not wanting to waste time. She walked around and looked through the perfume bottles on the shelves. Each bottle was labeled with the name of the perfume. Her attention was immediately caught when she saw a bottle labeled “Treasured Heart.” It reminded him of how Sebastien called him “little treasure”.

Nadia noticed Roxane’s interest so she walked over and handed her the bottle of perfume.

– This perfume has a sweeter scent. It is very suitable for you.

Roxane sprayed on her wrist. A light and sweet scent immediately wafted into his nose.

– It smells really good! I want this!

– GOOD. Why don’t you choose a few more bottles?

She said generously. The perfumes here were all handmade. Their prices weren’t cheap, but it was still far from the prices of big brand perfumes.

Roxane shook her head.

– I’ll use this one first. When I’m done, I’ll choose another bottle.

– GOOD.

She nodded. Then she closed the shop and left with Roxane.
