AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn’t want to comment on his friend’s emotional problems.

Enzo brought three glasses from the wine cellar, clearly familiar with his path. He opened the bottle of wine brought by Quentin and poured a glass for each of them. After sitting on the sofa, he said in a high and mighty tone:

– Be careful that Nadia Larson doesn’t find another person. We still don’t know who will cry when the time comes…

Quentin’s lips twitched slightly before saying:

– Oh, if they have the ability, then they can try. I would like to see who dares to touch my wife in M City.

Enzo no longer cared about Quentin. Instead, he looked at Sebastian with a gaze as sharp as knives. It was as if he was looking at his enemy who killed his family.

Sebastian swirled the glass in his hand without any intention of drinking. The scene from when Roxane was performing kept replaying in his mind. With that, a smile appeared on his face.

– Do you want me to remove your brain from your head? Enzo asked. Despite the smile on his face, his eyes were icy.

When Sebastian came to his senses, he glanced at Enzo and said:

– You can try.

Enzo swore under his breath,

– P*t**n!

He met Sebastien in a boxing gym, so he knew better than anyone how strong he was.

Quentin found the duo’s bickering amusing. He said teasingly:

– Lulu, that’s enough. Even though you are his brother, they are husband and wife. In the future, they will still have to have children…

Enzo glared at Quentin and said:

– Go away !

Then he said to Sebastien:

– I find him very unpleasant to the eyes today. You can beat him. No need to beat him to death. I will pay all medical expenses. After that, I’ll let bygones be bygones!

Quentin couldn’t smile anymore thinking about the trouble he had gotten himself into.

Sebastien frowned slightly as if he were seriously considering the proposition. Then he asked:

– Are you serious?

Quentin: …

Enzo smiled.

– I, Enzo Alvarez, am a man of my word.

Sebastien put down his glass before removing his tie and rolling up his sleeves. Then he got up and said to Quentin:

-You can choose to stay here or go out.

“It’s good to exercise. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep tonight…”

Quentin asked:

– Can I not choose?

Sebastien did not respond. Instead, he looked at Quentin with an expression that seemed to say, “What do you think?”

He took a deep breath before solemnly saying:

– Let’s make an agreement first. The face is forbidden. I don’t want to appear in the headlines tomorrow…

Enzo sat on the couch and crossed his legs as he sipped his drink. From time to time, he heard Quentin moan in pain and he had the impression that the world was very beautiful. As expected, happiness was built on the pain of others.

…

After changing, Roxane hesitated and struggled around the room. After a fierce mental battle, she steeled her nerves and decided to go down. It was rare for his brother and Sebastian’s friend to visit him, so it would be rude to continue hiding in his room.

When she went to the living room, she did not see Sebastien and his friend. She only saw her brother. She slowly approached and shouted in a low voice:

– Brother …

Enzo looked at her and didn’t bring up the previous question. He waved his hand and said:

-Why are you standing so far away? Come here and sit down.

– Oh…

She saw that Enzo was no longer angry so she approached.

He turned to her and asked:

– I heard you were sick?

– I am fine now. It’s just a cold. It’s nothing serious, replied Roxane with a smile.

Enzo had already guessed that she would say something like that, so he didn’t say anything more about it. Instead, he pinched his round face and said:

– I think you lost weight. Didn’t Old Flores feed you?

-How did I lose weight? I gained two kilos! He forces me to eat a lot every day. If I don’t eat, I feel guilty.

– It’s good for girls to have meat! It’s clean! Enzo said before taking another sip of wine. Then, he continued to say with a smile:

– Don’t be too thin. If you dare to lose weight, I will take you home immediately! I’ll tell Aunt Celine to feed you like a pig! Do you understand?

– I understand!

She nodded obediently and answered him even though she knew he was joking.

– I won’t lose weight without Brother’s permission. Are you satisfied?

“Hmm, that’s okay,” Enzo said reluctantly.

She stuck her tongue out at him before looking around. After a while, she asked:

– Who is that man ? Where is he?Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Enzo naturally saw through her thoughts. He said:

– You just want to know where Vieux Flores went, don’t you?

– Brother… She pouted.

Before she could speak again, she heard the sound of footsteps. She looked up and saw Sebastian walking in, wearing a thin black shirt. She stood up and took a step forward, saying with concern

– Why do you wear so few clothes? Aren’t you cold?

– I’m not cold. I went out to exercise, Sebastien replied. As if afraid she wouldn’t believe him, he pressed his hand against her cheek. The warmth of his hands was warmer than that of his cheek.

At that moment, Enzo cleared his throat, giving them a warning look.

Sebastien withdrew his hand without changing his expression.

At this moment, Quentin’s resentful voice sounded from behind.

– Enzo, come here and help me!

– Eh?

Roxane looked away from Sebastien’s handsome face and looked at the man who had just entered. The man held the door with one hand and held his waist with the other, looking like he was in pain.

When Quentin saw Roxane’s curious eyes, he dropped his hands and leaned against the door before saying with an innocent smile:

– A miner Alvarez, can you give me a hand?

“Minor Alvarez? Is that my nickname?”

Roxane bit her lip, trying to think of a response. However, before she could say anything, Sebastian reached out his hand and turned her head so that she was looking at him again. He said :

– Don’t bother with him. He’s just teasing you.

Quentin: …

Enzo walked forward slowly with the glass of wine in his hand. He said mockingly:

– Hey, young Master Armstrong isn’t dead yet?

Quentin glared at Enzo and said, annoyed:

– Enzo Alvarez, just wait!

– Oh, I’ll wait. I’m just afraid you can’t wait, Enzo retorted.

Quentin turned his gaze towards Sebastien, who was standing next to Roxane, before saying to himself:

– Alright ! I can’t do anything to you since you have the help of Vieux Flores!

Roxane looked at the trio with her round eyes. She felt that the trio’s relationship was very good. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be laughing and teasing each other so openly. Plus, Quentin seemed very interesting.

Sebastien knew she was curious so he said:

-Quentin Armstrong. He’s a friend.

Roxane turned to Quentin and said:

– Delighted to meet you. I’m Roxane Alvarez. Then she pointed at Enzo before continuing to say:

– I am his younger sister.

Quentin smiles happily. Then, he said meaningfully:

– I know. You are Sebastien’s little wife who had my bar reported for serving minors during the first day of business.

– Uh…

The smile on Roxane’s face immediately froze.

“So he’s the bar owner! How embarrassing.”
