AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane’s voice stopped. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she met his deep eyes.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

– Of course, I always keep my word and I never go back on my word!

As for the other half of the sentence, Jonas didn’t want to hear it, so she didn’t continue.

Jonas’ thin lips curled. He turned his head to look into the distance and was silent for a moment before saying:

– Since you always keep your word, don’t just think about taking care of the children. Your hands are used for drawing, not for these complicated things.

– I want to draw too. So help me take care of my children! Roxane retorted.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

– You can obviously live a life provided for in the Moon house, but you are looking for trouble and you still want me to help you take care of the children. Dream! Jonas rolled his eyes.

-This kind of life was indeed very good, but I was locked in this beautiful golden cage. I didn’t even land on the ground. Can my painting have a soul? Roxane asked softly.

Jonas remained silent. A good artist came from real life, and that was irrefutable.

– Ok, now that Divine and Dael are both a little older, I’m going to start drawing. Don’t worry. Roxane knew he was worried her skills would deteriorate if she didn’t draw for too long.

Jonas’ lips twitched.

“You better be able to put me at ease.

The two put aside their past grudges after talking. On the way back, they even went to the fish pond to buy two big fish. Roxane personally cooked the sweet and sour fish for him.

At that time, Jonas did not tell him that his hands were used for painting. He sat in the living room and drank tea.

Sebastien put down his cup of tea.

Jonah nodded.

– I will help him manage his gallery in the future.

No one knew how he had spent the last six months. Every day he blamed himself and regretted, and was also afraid.

He was afraid that one day she would call him to leave the gallery and that he would never be able to do anything for her again.

Before coming here today, he had even prepared himself mentally. If Roxane couldn’t forgive him and wanted to break up with him, he would return to France.

He had said he had sold the house Roxane previously lived in, but the seller was himself and the house upstairs.

The two years in Paris were the happiest days of his life. There were many memories of him and Roxane in these two apartments. It was a good choice to stay there alone until the end of his life.

– She’s always so nice. Sebastian commented.

For someone like him, Roxane was too nice most of the time.

– Would you still love her if she wasn’t nice? Jonas asked meaningfully.

Sebastian’s white eyebrows moved slightly and he pursed his thin lips without saying a word.

Jonas took the teacup and took a sip of tea, a playful smile floating at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, he and Sebastian were the same type. They were cold, violent, emotionless and often did things that were out of line.

Roxane was a person from a completely different world from them. It was as bright as the sun in the sky, clean and pure, without any stain. She followed the system of this society, believed in the law and followed the law. No matter what she experienced, her original heart did not change and she was sincere.

It was precisely because of Roxane’s purity that they were attracted to her. It was something they could never have in their lives.

Divine was originally crawling on the carpet, but she had somehow crawled in front of them. She didn’t go looking for Sebastian, but instead lay down at Jonas’ feet, pulled on his pants, and even put the food in his mouth.

Jonas looked at Roxane, who was almost a replica of her, and reached out to take her in his arms.

– You can’t eat your uncle’s pants.

Uncle?

Sebastian’s straight eyebrows furrowed and he looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Jonas acted like he didn’t know anything. He took a tissue and wiped Divine’s drool.

– Grow up quickly, little Divine. Uncle will take you to play.

Sebastian reached out to hold Divine and said in a deep voice:

– Don’t lead my daughter astray.

What could he take Divine to play? car racing? Or a fight?

Jonas sniffed.

-I’m still better than you.

Sebastian didn’t like talking nonsense, so he didn’t answer. Divine, for her part, was gurgling and blowing bubbles. She squirmed in his arms and continued to run towards Jonas.

Jonas smiled and reached out to carry her, placing her on his lap.

– Little Divine likes me.

The indifference and hostility between his eyebrows instantly disappeared, and he played with Divine like a kind old father.

Sebastian looked expressionlessly at his daughter sitting on Jonas and laughed heartlessly, but his heart suddenly felt sour.

It was enough that she had forgiven him, but why did her daughter love him so much?

The last time Quentin and Fernand came and wanted to hug her, she started crying before anyone touched her. Their cries were heartbreaking.

Both of their expressions didn’t look good, but Mathis, who was usually mean, said seriously:

– Godfather, my future wife can cry so much. What if I can’t coax him in the future?

Sebastien’s face instantly became as black as the bottom of a pot, while Fernand and Quentin burst out laughing.

Since then, Jonas has arrived from time to time. He urged Roxane to hand over the painting, but in reality, he asked to see Divine the moment he walked through the door!

Those who didn’t know would think Divine was his daughter.

But Divine liked him and was ready to be hugged and played with him.

Dael, for his part, did not like being in contact with Jonas. Usually he didn’t even cry, but when Jonas hugged her, he cried and peed. He even had to poop, which made Jonas smell like poop.

In this regard, Sebastien had secretly congratulated Dael for his common sense.
