AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane had a good night’s sleep and didn’t dream at all.

On the other hand, Sebastien was tortured by her and could not sleep all night.

…

When Roxane woke up the next day, she found herself in a large bed, covered with a warm, soft blanket. She yawned and stretched. As she scratched her head, fragments of memories from last night appeared in her mind, making her eyes widen.

‘Oh no! I drank too much last night!

She covered her face, feeling extremely regretful. Unlike the previous time, she remembered everything that happened the night before. She clearly remembered Sebastian hugging and holding her, coaxing her to sleep.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

– How embarrassing…

She lay down on the bed and rolled around in embarrassment.

After calming down, she washed and changed her clothes before going downstairs. She chanced upon Sabrina who had just come out of the kitchen.

Sabrina touched Roxane’s head and asked with concern:

– Do you feel bad? I’ll ask Aunt Celine to make you a glass of tea for your hangover. You will feel better after drinking it.

“No need, mom,” Roxane said. She looked around the living room before asking:

– Mom, where is Sebastien?

– I learned from Aunt Celine that he left very early in the morning. He looked like he was in a hurry, so maybe there was something urgent he needed to take care of, Sabrina replied.

– Oh.

She internally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the next moment, a wave of disappointment fell on his heart. She wondered what was so urgent that he left without even wishing her a happy new year.

Sabrina grabbed Roxane’s hand and pulled her onto the couch. As they walked, she seriously advised them:

– In the future, don’t drink so much. Don’t learn from your brother. He’s an adult. No matter how much he drinks, he will be fine. You, a girl, will be at a disadvantage if you drink too much. Do you understand what I say?

She nodded hurriedly and said obediently:

-Mom, I won’t drink anymore. I won’t drink at all.

– Every time I drank, I embarrassed myself. I can’t afford to embarrass myself for the third time…

“Okay,” Sabrina said. She was not a particularly strict mother who insisted on her child’s mistakes.

“Mom, I want to go to the bathroom,” Roxane said, finding an excuse to leave.

– Go. I’m going to see your grandmother, Sabrina said before going upstairs.

Roxane entered the bathroom downstairs. She didn’t use the bathroom. Instead, she took out her phone and sent a message to Sebastian.

Roxane: Are you still at home?

After waiting five minutes, she still did not receive a response. She looked thoughtfully at her phone, muttering to herself:

– You sleep? Or are you busy? Should I just call?

After struggling for a while, she called him. Shivers filled her body and heart as she heard the mechanical voice informing her that the phone had been turned off.

– Why is his phone turned off? Did it run out of battery? Is he mad because I got drunk last night?

She stayed in the bathroom for half an hour, worrying about this matter. If Aunt Celine hadn’t knocked on the door, she would have forgotten to leave the bathroom.

At this moment, Enzo entered from outside. He yawned, looking sleepy.

Sabrina knocked his head lightly and said with a hint of reproach:

“It’s one thing for you to stay out all night, but you even let your sister get drunk. Are you trying to anger me to death?

Enzo was knocked unconscious by the slap. When he came to his senses, he said:

– No, it’s not like I asked him to drink. She ordered…

Before he could finish speaking, Sabrina hit him again.

– How dare you answer me! It’s one thing for you to have fun every day, but you even brought Roxane with you. Can’t you act more like an older brother?

Enzo looked to Roxane for help. At that moment, she was the only one who could persuade their mother to stop.

She sat on the couch, looking unhappy. She didn’t stop her mother from beating Enzo.

In the end, it was old Mrs. Alvarez who came down and arrested Sabrina.

During breakfast, Enzo, who was sitting next to Roxane, lowered his head and said through gritted teeth:

– Good job, Roxane. You left me to die!

She pursed her lips before saying:

– Sebastien did not respond to my message, and I could not reach him…

Enzo raised an eyebrow. He had dated many times before, so he knew how frustrating it could be for women in love to not be able to contact their boyfriends. His anger subsided and he explained:

– He has quite a few relatives in his family and he is the head of the family. He left a house full of people to look for you on New Year’s Eve. Do you think he doesn’t have to give an explanation when he returns?

“Oh, that’s why,” Roxane said as realization dawned on her.

Enzo patted him on the head.

– Yes. Don’t think too much. Eat.

She nodded.

Sabrina, who saw this scene, asked sadly:

– Enzo, why did you hit your sister’s head?

– Eh?

Question marks could be seen above Enzo’s head. How could this be called hitting? He asked:

– I’m not your biological child, am I?

Sabrina feigned a surprised expression and said:

– Oh, you finally realized it!

-…

‘There is no way for me to stay in this family anymore…’

Old Mrs. Alvarez couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the mother and son bickering.

Roxane also laughed.

The whole family was very happy.
