AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane stepped on the cigarette butt with the tip of her foot, then bent down to pick it up and threw it into the trash can nearby.

– Jonas, I really have to thank you for today.

She stepped back and looked at the man who was leaning against the wall.

-And… I was too angry today, so I hit your mother.

Jonas’ throat tightened and his Adam’s apple rolled.

– Roxane, if my mother and Barbara succeed today…; he said in a deep voice.

He stopped and looked at her.

– Would you still love him?

Roxane responded without any hesitation:

– Yes!

Disbelief shone in his dark eyes.

– Even if he’s with another woman… Do you love him too?

– If your mother and Barbara had their way, he would be a victim too. I will only feel sorry for him and love him even more. Roxane’s voice was soft, but her eyes were as determined as ever.

– To truly love someone is to love them no matter what. You will not be affected by the outside world and will not change.

Jonas was silent for a moment before looking up and asking:

-If you were in his place today, do you think he would be like you?

“He will,” Roxane replied without thinking, her tone firm.

– Do you trust him that much? Jonas’ eyes flashed with fierceness and reluctance.

– We are husband and wife, and we should trust and support each other.

Roxane’s red lips curled slightly.

– You will understand when you meet someone you like in the future and get together with them.

Jonas pressed the tip of his tongue against her cheek, without saying a word.

After standing for a long time, his legs hurt so much that he could no longer stand, but what hurt even more was his heart, which felt like it was slowly being cut by a knife blunt.

Day after day, year after year, it would never heal.

Roxane saw that his face was pale and that he seemed to be very haggard. She pushed the wheelchair to her side.

-You should just sit down.

Jonas looked down and didn’t speak. He didn’t look at her either, like a soulless walking corpse.

Jonas’ name was announced on the radio.

– Your medicine appears to be ready. Roxane reminded him.

He still had no reaction.

Roxane had no choice but to help him get his medication. Then she hung her from her wheelchair.

– Go home and rest early.

Jonas sat in the wheelchair and turned it to leave.

When she turned around and was about to walk in, a tense voice suddenly came from behind her.

– Roxane…

She turned around.

Jonas raised his head to look at her. His eyes were complicated and mixed with imperceptible unease.

-Now that you know about our relationship, can we… Remain friends? He asked.

Roxane knew that Sebastien didn’t like her being in contact with him, but without Jonas’ help today, she wouldn’t have been able to save him.

It would be unfair to him if they couldn’t be friends.

– Jonas, thank you very much for today.

She smiled, her light and pleasant voice was like a spring breeze caressing the face.

-So, if you still want to be friends with me, then let’s continue to be friends.

There was no major problem with Roxane’s arm. The doctor had prescribed medication for the knee injury to relieve the pain and dissipate the blood stasis. She would be fine as long as she applied it on time.

Sebastien looked at Roxane’s medical file and breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, she stayed in the hospital to take care of him and did not return to Moon Pavilion.

It was a sunny day the next morning. Roxane was afraid to hold him at night, so she refused to sleep on the bed. She curled up on the couch and slept all night.

She woke up very early in the morning. She opened the curtains and let out a long sigh of relief when she saw the sunlight outside.

– The sky is clear.

Sebastien woke up at the same time as her. He turned his head to look at her slender figure, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

– Yes, the sky is clear.

Roxane turned around and looked at him.

– What do you want to eat in the morning? I am going to buy it.

– No need, I’ll let Logan send you later.

Sebastian was still thinking about his knee injury and couldn’t bear to let her run up and down.

Just when she thought it wasn’t necessary, there was a knock at the door. Before they could speak, the door opened.

The woman carried a red handbag and wore a white blouse. She had short hair and delicate facial features, and her eyes were calm and serious.

When she saw Sebastian lying on the bed, her red lips parted slightly and her hot voice was full of ridicule.

– It’s the new year, you’ve gotten older but you don’t have any brains. You have actually fallen into Mylene’s trap. I believe that the Flores Corporation will be defeated in your hands sooner or later.

Sebastien’s eyelids twitched and he said in a deep voice:

-Why did you come back?

– Ha.

She came closer and sneered.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to retrieve your corpse if I don’t come back soon.

Sebastian’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed.

– Aunt …

– Don’t call me that. I don’t have a nephew as embarrassing as you…

Before she could finish her sentence, her gaze turned to Roxane who was standing by the window. Her eyes froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

– I heard that you married a little devil. I didn’t believe it, but it’s true.

Roxane was stunned the moment she entered. At this moment, she looked at her with a blank and helpless face, not knowing how to react.

She didn’t expect the little aunt Christine was talking about to be so young, and even more so, she didn’t expect her to be so cool.

Oh no, she doesn’t seem to like me.

Sebastien coughed lightly and gently reminded him:

– Oh, it’s my aunt, Madame Vanessa Flores.

Roxane came to her senses and shouted timidly:

– Aunt…

Vanessa’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

– Are you an adult?

Then, she looked at Sebastien.

– Don’t tell me you’ve been single for so many years that you’re so perverted that you’ve put your hands on minors?

Sebastien’s mouth twitched. Before he could respond, Roxane quickly explained:

– Aunt, I’m an adult… If you don’t believe me, I can show you my identity card.

– No need,

Vanessa just said it casually. Even if Roxane wasn’t an adult, it was Sebastien’s business. She couldn’t be bothered by her trivial matters.

Roxane bit her lip and turned to Sebastien for help.

He received his cry for help and was about to speak when Vanessa suddenly said:

– Come with me for a while.

She was talking to Roxane.

Roxane pointed to herself, her face full of surprise.

– Me?Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

-Is there a fourth person here? Vanessa retorted.

Sebastian’s expression darkened slightly and he said in a low voice:

-Little aunt, she…

Before he could finish, Vanessa interrupted him,

– shut up, lend your wife for two hours. If she is missing a single strand of hair, I will bow to you and apologize.

Sebastien had nothing more to say. He glanced at Roxane, indicating that she shouldn’t be afraid.

Although he didn’t know where Vanessa was taking Roxane, she didn’t ask much about Roxane, which meant she wouldn’t make things difficult for her.

Roxane took her coat off the hanger and put it on before going out with Vanessa.

Vanessa took her to the elevator, got off and got into the car. She didn’t say a word the whole time.

She didn’t know where she was taking her, so she secretly evaluated her.

Vanessa was holding her phone and chatting with someone, as if she didn’t know they were watching her.

Shortly after, she hung up her phone. When she turned her head, Roxane immediately withdrew her gaze and pretended to look at the scenery.

Vanessa’s red lips curled slightly, but she said nothing.
