AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien did as he said. He won the second round in a row. No matter how Christine and Raoul joined forces to block him, he won in the end.

Roxane’s eyes were filled with admiration.

– Sebastien, you are incredible! If only I were as powerful as you.

Sebastian shoved the small amount of money he had collected into his hands.

– It is enough to have a powerful person in each family.

Roxane agreed and happily counted the money.

Christine’s face was filled with envy and jealousy. The big brother really adored his sister-in-law too much.

To please his sister-in-law, he didn’t even leave them a single cent.

Raoul poured a glass of water for Christine and comforted her,

– How are you. I will work hard to improve my card skills and try to win big brother next year.

Christine nodded in agreement.

***

On the second day of the new year, Sebastien went to his in-laws with the New Year’s gift he had prepared.

The following days, he stayed with his in-laws. It wasn’t until the fifth day of the new year that he said he had something to do and had to return to the Flores family.

Roxane had wanted to accompany him, but he had asked her to stay and spend more time with her family. She hesitated and did not refuse.

Now that she was living in the moon canvas house, she would go to school normally and spend the holidays with Mr. Seb, so she didn’t have much time to spend with her parents.

When she returned this time, she noticed that her father’s hair seemed to have turned white again. She had to talk to her brother later and ask him not to be angry with her father.

Enzo didn’t like to listen to these great truths, but it was his own sister who said it. He nodded perfunctorily and found an excuse to slip away to play.

Roxane got up early in the morning. She was lying on the bed and scrolling on her phone. As she paraded, her eyelids drooped heavily.

Her phone fell to the bed without a sound and she fell asleep on the pillow.

Sabrina wanted to ask her to go out for a walk, but when she went to the door and saw her sleeping, she shook her head helplessly.

She walked into the room with light steps and covered her with a blanket. She then went out and carefully closed the door.

Seeing her alone, Joel asked curiously:

– Where is Roxane? If she doesn’t come with us…

– Shh. Sabrina made a gesture to silence him and lowered her voice, She is sleeping.

He was a little surprised,

– She sleeps ? When she was little, she didn’t like to sleep. The old lady hugged her all night.

Sabrina nodded.

– Roxane seems to be different over the last two years!

Even carefree Joel noticed the slight change in his daughter.

– She wants to be close to us now, she likes to smile and she is in a better mood than before.

Sabrina dragged him downstairs, the joy in her eyes couldn’t be concealed.

– I can see that Sebastien took good care of her, so I’m relieved.

– So does he know that Roxane…

He wanted to say something but stopped.

– I am not sure.

Sabrina sighed softly.

-I just think our daughter is like a regular person now. No reason to worry. In the past, perhaps it was because of his innate talent…

Joel nodded,

– Yes! Like in the movies, she is talented…

– Let’s go. We will go for a walk alone.

– Yes Madam.

In the room, Roxane’s slightly closed eyes and curled eyelashes cast a green shadow. She seemed to be dreaming of something and frowned slightly.

M City, cemetery.

Sebastian walked towards a tombstone with a bouquet of flowers and slowly crouched down.

The man on the tombstone had clear facial features and a gentle look. He looked a bit like him, like they were looking at each other.

Sebastien placed the fresh flowers on the tombstone. Her thin lips opened slightly and her tone was very light.

-I’m here to see you.

There were some words written under the photo: “Alessio Flores.

“I’m sorry, I still haven’t brought her to see you this year.

Sebastien turned his head to look at the blurry figure in the distance.

– Because I don’t want her to see anything dirty.

He stood up and his figure gradually became clear.

Mylene wore a black coat and hat, holding a bouquet of tulips in her arms as she walked slowly.

She wore a pair of silver sunglasses and stood in front of the tombstone.

– Alessio, I’m here to see you.

It was the first time she came to pay tribute to him after Alessio’s death.

So this is what his headstone and photo looked like.

Sebastien’s face was dark and his thin lips moved.

“You shouldn’t be here.

Because he was in front of his father, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

– We were once husband and wife. How do you know he doesn’t want to see me? Mylene tilted her head to look at him, her chin slightly raised, her posture still tall and powerful.

Sebastien did not answer, but said coldly:

– You are not qualified to pay homage to him!

-Why am I not qualified? Mylene retorted coldly.

Sebastien turned his head to look at her. His tense jaw finally couldn’t be tense, as if the grief and anger that had been suppressed for many years had burst out in an instant.

-You put him through a great humiliation that no one can bear, and you let him become the laughing stock of the entire city. What right do you have?

– When he was about to die and he wanted to see you one last time, what did you do?

His voice wasn’t agitated, but every word was sharp and hurtful.

Faced with her accusations, Mylene had neither shame nor remorse. Instead, she asked coldly,

– So who forced me to this step?

Sebastien was silent, his thin lips pursed and not saying a word.

Mylene took off her sunglasses and threw them on the ground. She pointed to Alessio’s tombstone and asked coldly:

– Do you dare swear in front of him that Lorraine’s death has nothing to do with you?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Sebastian’s hands at his sides clenched tightly into fists. He turned his head to look at Alessio, still without saying a word.

Mylene sneered.

– Guilty? Ty doesn’t dare answer!

-The thing I regret most in my life is not throwing you into the juvenile detention center back then. Otherwise, Lorraine would not have died!

Mylene looked at him coldly before bending down to place the fresh flowers on the tombstone.

Sebastien walked forward, grabbed the flowers and threw them away like trash.

– Don’t dirty his grave.

Mylene seemed to have been agitated by his actions and she said in an imposing rage:

– Did I dirty his grave? Who dirtied his grave? Who destroyed his happiness, destroyed my life and destroyed our happy family?

Sebastien’s throat tightened. He didn’t say a word, but his hands were clenched at his sides and his veins were barely visible.

Mylene grabbed the bouquet of flowers that he had thrown on the ground and hit him violently.

As she hit him she screamed hysterically,

– It’s you ! It is you, demon, who destroyed everything! How nice it would be if you weren’t here, how nice it would be if it was you who was dead! Lorraine wouldn’t be like this if she were alive…

The veins in Sebastien’s clenched hands swelled. He didn’t push her away, or stop her from losing control.

Something brushed his cheek, and bright red blood slowly flowed from the long, thin scratch.

Red and white, sorrow and numbness.

Sebastien tilted his head and looked at Alessio, a little lost.

Over the years, he had also thought countless times that if it had been Lorraine who had survived, would everything have been different?

Didn’t you think that way back then?

Mylene saw that he seemed to be distracted and took the opportunity to secretly take out the syringe she had prepared in her pocket. As she hit it, she inserted it into the muscles of her arm.
