AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien personally sent Roxane to school.

During the trip, she looked a little down.

He didn’t talk to her or persuade, but he reached out to hold her hand.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

She frowned slightly and removed her hand.

– Are you angry?

Sebastian asked despite knowing the answer.

Roxane turned to stare at him.

“We just started dating, but you’ve already stopped me from wearing a skirt. Otherwise, how will you control me in the future? I want a boyfriend, not a…

She didn’t finish her words.

Sebastien understood its meaning. He wasn’t angry. Instead, he held her hand and explained:

– It is very cold and the heating is not good in the classroom. You have just recovered from your cold. Do you want to receive another transfusion?

She instantly shook her head, but she still pouted.

Which girl didn’t want to dress beautifully in front of her boyfriends?

Seeing that she was still unhappy, Sebastien gently coaxed her.

– Be good. When spring comes and it’s warmer, I don’t even care if you run around in your underwear.

– What are you saying?

She stared at him, looking flirtatious. She couldn’t help the smile that appeared on her face. Her anger had dissipated after being teased by him.

Sebastien reached out his hand and gently pinched her nose, saying:

– You look good when you smile, so you should smile more often.

– Won’t I look like an imbecile if I smile for no reason… she said. Despite his words, his smile grew even wider.

When the car stopped at the entrance to the university, Sebastien did not get out of the car. He only looked at her slender back as she walked in, slowly disappearing from his sight.

At this moment, Patrice, who had witnessed his boss’s display of affection, finally came to his senses. He asked :

– President Flores, shall we go directly to the office?

At the same time, Patrice said to himself: “Didn’t he say that he was not a beast and that he had no interest in such a young girl? Ha! Men!”

Sebastien replied:

– Mmm.

However, just as the car drove away, he suddenly said:

– Contact the dean of M City University and talk about donating heaters and air conditioners.

M City University was simple and honest, and it advocated frugality, after all.

Patrice was slightly surprised, but he reacted quickly and said:

– Understood.

…

Roxane was approaching the classroom, carrying her canvas bag on her back, when she saw the man standing in front of her classroom. His smile immediately faded.

Diego wore a blue coat today. A dark expression could be seen on her delicate face. He was clearly in a bad mood. Although he was just standing, he attracted the attention of many students. When he saw Roxane, he saw her smile as warm as the sun, contrasting with the winter weather. However, he also saw that as soon as she caught sight of him, the sun-like smile disappeared immediately. His heart couldn’t help but sink as he thought, “Does she really not want to see me?”

– Why are you here?

She asked flatly.

– It’s not easy to talk here. Let me buy you a cup of coffee, Diego said. He didn’t want to stay here and let others watch him.

She looked at the time. There was still half an hour left and there was a cafe near the university. She thought half an hour should be enough.

– Wait.

After she put her bag in the classroom, she went to the cafe with Diego.

Because it was too early, the cafe had just opened. The servers were still cleaning and there weren’t many customers.

Diego chose a table in the corner before ordering a cup of Americano. Then, he asked Roxane:

– What do you want ? American? Latte?

“I don’t like coffee,” Roxane replied.

Diego was slightly surprised.

– You don’t like coffee. I remember you used to…

She intervened:

-I used to drink them because of you. Actually, I really don’t like coffee. If you had been paying attention, you would have noticed that I don’t drink much of the coffee you ordered.

Diego’s expression was slightly awkward. Indeed, he never paid attention to her likes and dislikes.

– I do not need anything. Thank you, Roxane told the waiter before turning to Diego and saying:

– My class is about to start. If you have something to say, say it quickly.

He could tell that she really wanted nothing to do with him, and his heart sank. He felt very uncomfortable. He licked his lower lip before saying in a deep voice:

-Mina told me about the incident in the ancient city.

Roxane just looked at him in silence.

– Your …

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring himself to say the word “husband.” After a while he said:

– This man wants to pursue Mina. Was this your idea?

“That man?”

After a moment, Roxane realized that Diego was referring to Sebastien.

‘Sebastien really intends to pursue Mina?’

She had been ill since returning from the ancient city and had only recently recovered. She had almost forgotten the incident. She really didn’t expect Sebastian to pursue Mina when he said he would take care of the case. She knew he was doing this for her, and she had no reason to deny it so she nodded.

Diego’s expression turned cold immediately. He said :

-Mina is my sister. If you sue her, what will that do to her reputation? This will affect his career and relationship in the future. People will judge her.

-…

Roxane’s temperament was good enough, but it wasn’t so good that she would allow people to trample on her. Not only did he not apologize, he even spoke in such an overbearing manner. She felt like her shamelessness had reached unprecedented heights.

– Diego Rios, in the past I didn’t think there was anything wrong with you. After all, you didn’t love me. However, I really didn’t expect that you didn’t have even the most basic common sense, Roxane said in an icy tone, not bothering to hide her anger,

– You said Mina’s future would be affected. So, have you thought about what would happen if she had succeeded in trapping me and my teacher? If it succeeded, not only would we be expelled and fired respectively, but our reputation would be beyond repair. My life would be over if she succeeded.

Diego said:

– How is it possible ? You’re okay now, aren’t you? Besides, even if something happens and this man abandons you, I will be there for you. If you were deported, I would send you to study abroad.

The more she listened, the angrier she became. She said coldly:

-I’m fine, not because Mina suddenly became conscious at the last minute. I’m fine now because I was lucky. And why do you think he’ll abandon me over something like that? Isn’t he that kind of person? What? Do you think if my reputation is ruined and he abandons me, you can swoop in and become my savior? Do you think my family and I will be so grateful to you and that I will be enslaved to you for the rest of my life? Do you think you can occupy the moral high ground for the rest of your life and morally kidnap me?

-…

Diego was rendered speechless by her words, and he was unable to refute them. He indeed harbored such contemptible thoughts.

Roxane laughed mockingly.

-It’s really no surprise that Mina would do something like that. After all, look at your family. You are all selfish and self-centered.

“Oh, except for Grandma Rios…

Diego’s expression darkened. He did not respond to her words. Instead, he asked:

-Can’t you forgive Mina? I will apologize on his behalf.
