AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

– I’m your boyfriend. If I’m not good to you, who am I going to be good to? He responded with a question. His fingers slid from her head to her cheek before he gently held her chin and lifted her head. His dark eyes looked at her as he slowly said in a hoarse voice:

– In the future, you just need to focus on your art and doing the things you love? Leave all the embarrassing things to your boyfriend, understand?

He loved seeing her bright and beautiful smile. He wanted her to continue to shine like the sun, living carefree by his side.

Roxane’s eyelashes fluttered as her heart beat wildly in her chest. Heat burst from his chest, coursing through his entire body. It moved up to her neck and face, warming them. After a while, she raised her slender arms and hugged his waist shyly.

Sebastian looked down, allowing her to wrap her arms around him.

After hugging him, she inhaled his woody scent. She smiled contentedly and said:

– Sebastien, you are so kind…

He lowered his head and kissed her on the head. Then he said:

– Don’t you think your standards are a little low? Is this all it takes to make you happy? No wonder you were so easily deceived in the past.

A hint of jealousy was heard in his last sentence.

Roxane looked at him with bright eyes and asked:

– You’re jealous, aren’t you?

Sebastian’s handsome face was expressionless as he calmly said:

– No.

“Why would I be jealous of someone who is clearly inferior to me? I’m just a little unhappy.”

She didn’t believe him.

– You’re jealous, but you still refuse to admit it.

Sebastien didn’t want to waste time on this meaningless matter. He moved to the ground as well, sitting behind her. His knees were at the sides of her body and his arms were around her. It was as if he was trapping her in his embrace. He placed his chin on his head and said:

– Draw…

She tilted her head slightly, but she couldn’t see his face.

He reached out and grabbed his iPad and pen before passing them to her.

– You… How am I going to draw like that?

This posture was a little ambiguous, which embarrassed her. How could she concentrate on drawing under such circumstances?

Furthermore, the project she had recently accepted was a bit unusual. The pay was good, and of course the requirements were a bit unique too. The project was of the kind where the male and female protagonists did not wear clothes. Naturally, the important parts would still be covered. She had already finished drawing and was coloring them.

Sebastien didn’t say anything. Instead, he reached out to unlock his iPad.

She was so scared that she instinctively hugged her iPad. She quickly said:

– You must be tired after working all day! Why don’t you go take a shower and relax?

The more nervous she was, the more he wanted to see it. He couldn’t help but say teasingly:

– Don’t tell me you draw erotic things?

– How is it possible ?

She said without any hesitation. She feigned confidence, saying:

– What I draw is art. Even if they’re just illustrations of novels, they’re still art!

Sebastien’s smile slowly widens as he says:

– I didn’t say that erotic art is not art…

Roxane: …

She understood that she had fallen into his trap.

Sebastian saw the helpless and sad expression on her face so he reached out to rub her head. He said :

– Okay, I won’t look. I’m going to take a shower now. You should rest early.

After that he left.

Roxane pursed her lips as she picked up her phone and logged onto Weibo.

When Weibo became popular, she followed the trend and signed up. When she had time, she would upload her paintings, which somehow attracted a lot of attention from netizens. Later there were authors who loved his paintings and bought them for the covers of their novels. She agreed, thinking it was a good way to earn some pocket money.

Currently, she was an artist with around 150, 000 fans on Weibo. She has also collaborated with several publishing houses. Many people loved her art that it was difficult for them to work with her because of her work.

She quickly typed a message and posted it on Weibo,

Roxane: If your boyfriend is smarter than you and has a lot of tricks, what are you going to do? QaQ

As soon as she posted, she saw a comment from her fan.

Internet user 1: Ah! You are in love!

Roxane responded quickly.

Roxane: Mmm (shy. JPG)

Internet user 2: Woman, why didn’t you wait for me to find you before falling in love? What wild man kidnapped you? I’m so angry!

Some of her fans would refer to her as “ladylike.”

She didn’t know how to respond to the comment so she pretended not to see it. She saw some congratulatory messages and others that gave her advice.

Internet user 3: Be cute and flirtatious! No man could resist it! He won’t even have the heart to cheat on you!

She scratched her ear, looking thoughtful as she made the comment.

“Would Sebastien fall for it if I acted coquettishly?”

When she tried to imagine herself acting coquettishly around Sebastien, she could already imagine him asking her without expression:

-Are you possessed? Do you need me to hire an exorcist?

She quickly shook her head to dismiss the unreliable idea. She continued to scroll through the comments. Her fans discussed her boyfriend’s appearance; some even wondered if he could do it seven times a night and what position he liked.

There were also trolls who made fun of her and said she was making a big deal out of her dating. Some people said that men these days were handsome but useless. Some told him not to confuse trash with treasure.

Roxane: …

– Why are there always people who can’t stand to see others happy?

She couldn’t hold back and responded.

Roxane: My boyfriend is very handsome. What 7? That’s 13 times a night. He likes all kinds of poses. He is also very strong. How boring.

After leaving this comment to infuriate the haters, she logged out.

…

At that moment, Sebastien, the man who 13 times a night, had just come out of the bathroom. He sat down on the couch and picked up his phone to make a call.

Patrice, who had just returned home after a long day at work, had not yet sat down when he received a call from his boss.

– President Flores, how can I help you?

Sebastien said coldly:

– Withdraw the case against Mina Rios.

Without waiting for Patrice to speak, he continued to say:

– Settle amicably. Request for apology and 200, 000 in damages. You can leave the rest to the lawyers.

– Yes.

He was surprised that Sebastian had decided to withdraw the lawsuit, but he didn’t dare ask questions.

Sebastian ended the call after that.

Even if he won the case, he knew there was no way Mina would be sent to prison for this case. At most, she would have to pay damages and legal fees. Since that was the case, he would do old Mrs. Alvarez a favor and not make things too difficult. However, he would still cough up money from the Rios family. Although 200, 000 wasn’t much, he could consider it as giving his girlfriend some spending money.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the semester.

Roxane and Jessica finished their exams, looking forward to winter break. They celebrated the end of the semester by having a fondue.

Later, Jessica went abroad with her parents to spend the New Year together.

On the other hand, Roxane stayed at Moon Pavilion and focused on drawing, catching up on her work.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

That day, when she finally stopped working, she found snowflakes falling outside. She quickly put her iPad aside and ran downstairs. She looked out the window and said excitedly:

– It’s snowing ! It’s snowing! It hasn’t snowed in M City for several years!

The butler said happily:

– It’s unexpected that we can see snow this year. This auspicious snow means that next year will be a good year.

Roxane nodded in agreement. Then she asked:

– Sebastien hasn’t come back?

It was already 9 p. m., after all.
