AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

– Recovery is too painful. I wanted to give up, but he didn’t want to see me in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, so he proposed!

Roxane understood that when a person was immersed in the vortex of pain and unable to get out of it, no one could refuse when someone extended their hand.

Moreover, this person was Christine’s favorite, Raoul.

– I know you love him, but Mr. Seb has his own concerns.

Roxane reached out to comb her messy hair.

– You must be considerate of him. No matter what he does, it’s because he cares about you.

Christine looked up and met his clear eyes. She pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

About half an hour later, the office door opened.

– Raoul.

Christine immediately looked at him.

The blood from the wound on his forehead seemed to have solidified, and the bright red blood made his face increasingly pale, giving him a feeling of fragility and weakness.

Raoul smiled and took the initiative to say:

– I’m doing well. Don’t worry.

Christine’s heart sank as she looked at his wound.

– Does it hurt? I will accompany you to the hospital.

Sebastien left the office and looked coldly at Raoul.

– Stay here tonight and let the butler tend to your wound.

Christine was stunned. She looked at him in disbelief and muttered:

– Big brother !

Sebastien didn’t look at her. His black eyes looked gently at Roxane.

– Come.

Roxane stood up and walked beside him, obediently accompanying him into the office.

– Big brother, did he accept? Christine felt like she was dreaming. She couldn’t believe that her big brother actually agreed.

Raoul patted him on the head and smiled.

– He still loves you very much.

– That’s great.

She happily hugged him and placed her face on his firm stomach.

– We can finally be together.

He responded with a weak

– Hmm.

Because Christine’s head was lowered, she didn’t see the deep meaning that flashed through her eyes.

***

Since Christine’s return, Roxane has no longer been attached to Sebastien all day long. She could keep Christine company.

Christine had brought him a gift from abroad.

Roxane really liked him and asked him about interesting things that happened abroad.

After hearing Christine’s description, she thought it would be good to go outside and see more of the world.

After finishing talking about overseas issues, Christine brought the topic back home.

– Hey, I wonder if my little aunt will be back for the New Year this year?

-Little aunt?

It was the first time that Roxane heard him talk about his little aunt.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Christine was surprised.

-Didn’t Grandbrother tell you? He also had an aunt, but she traveled all year round and rarely came back to M City! But it’s good that she’s not coming back. I’m really afraid of her.

-Are you afraid of her? Roxane felt a little nervous when she heard this. Is she very strict?

– Oh …

Christine thought for a moment and said with a complicated expression:

– I don’t know how to say it. Anyway, if you see it, you should not rent it. She hates it when people praise and compliment her.

Roxane nodded seriously and remembered that.

New year’s eve.

Roxane in the Flores family didn’t even remember their faces and simply sat at the same table to eat.

From time to time, someone would get up to make a toast, but Sebastian wouldn’t allow them to drink. He picked up a cup filled with strawberry yogurt.

Raoul sat at the Flores family’s New Year’s dinner table, attracting the attention of many people.

However, seeing that Sebastian didn’t say anything, they naturally didn’t say anything. They were also very polite to Raoul.

The Flores family had a tradition of staying up after New Year’s dinner.

A large family was sitting in the living room. The men gathered at the table to play mahjong and cards, the women ate melon seeds and chatted, and the children ran around. It was very lively.

Roxane felt uncomfortable sitting on the chair for a long time and moved her legs a little.

Sebastien cleaned quietly and whispered to the servant to bring two cushions, one for Roxane’s buttocks and one for her waist.

With the cushion, she was no longer in a hard chair and felt much more comfortable.

Raoul peeled pistachios for Christine.

– Eat less or you will be thirsty tonight.

Christine was very obedient to him. After eating the small plate of pistachios he had peeled, she didn’t ask for any more.

When the clock finally struck twelve, Roxane couldn’t help but get up excitedly.

– Happy New Year, Mr. Seb.

I can finally sleep.

Sebastian looked up, his dark eyes shining.

– Happy New Year, Mrs. Flores.

– Happy New Year, master. Happy New Year, Madam. The others also sent them their New Year wishes.

According to the rules, Sebastien had to give them red packets, but he had given them to Roxane in advance, so she was the one who gave them red packets this year.

Sebastian sat aside, happy and idle.

Raoul crouched down and held Christine’s hand. He said softly

– Happy New Year, Christy.

– Happy New Year, Raoul.

Christine held his hand tightly and their eyes met. After a moment, he smiled and looked away.

– Big brother, sister-in-law, happy new year.

Roxane gave him and Raoul a red packet each.

– Christine, happy new year, senior.

Those who had received the red packets all returned to their rooms to rest, leaving only the two. They had finally finished distributing the red packets!

– Do I have one too?

Raoul’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

– You’re part of this family now, so of course there is! Roxane looked at Sebastien as she spoke.

– Grand Seb, am I right?

Sebastien slowly nodded, stood up and said:

– Rest early.

After that, he held Roxane’s hand and returned to the room.

Raoul gave the red packet to Christine.

She was surprised.

-Big brother gave it to you. Why are you giving it to me?

– Isn’t what’s mine also yours?

They smiled.

-It’s not just red packets. My pay card will be yours from now on, Mrs. Grant.

Christine’s face reddened at the way he addressed her as Mrs. Grant, and she quickly covered her face with a red packet.

Raoul lowered his hand and said considerately:

– You must be tired. I’ll take you back to your room to rest.

Christine curled her lips and nodded.

Raoul bent down and picked her up, walking towards his room.
