AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien got out of the car first. His expression was calm and his attitude was neither servile nor authoritarian as he greeted

– Grandmother.

Old Mrs. Alvarez nodded before looking at the car. She seemed both angry and amused as she said:

-Why don’t you still get out of the car? Are you waiting for me to open the car door for you?

Roxane, who was sitting in the car, could hear old Madame Alvarez’s words. She knew she couldn’t continue hiding. She opened the car door and greeted with a smile on her face:

– Grandmother…

Old Madame Alvarez looked at Roxane and said:

– Come in quickly. Don’t catch a cold.

She looked at Sebastien who had already followed old Madame Alvarez into the house.

Sabrina was in the living room, watching television. When she saw the people entering, she asked, intrigued:

– You, weren’t you with Jessi? Why is it…

She fell silent as her gaze fell on Sebastien. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. After all, in the eyes of old Madame Alvarez, Roxane and Sebastien formed a real married couple. There was nothing wrong with the duo being together. However, unlike old Mrs. Alvarez, she knew that the duo were married in name only.

Sebastien was about to say something when old Madame Alvarez asked:

– Why hasn’t Joel come back yet? Call him and tell him to come back early.

“Oh,” Sabrina said before going to get her phone to call her husband.

Old Madame Alvarez turned her attention again to Roxane and said:

– Look at your dirty face. Why don’t you go back to your room and clean up?

She touched his face before saying:

– Grandma, I am very clean…

However, before she could finish speaking, she raised her head and saw her grandmother’s piercing gaze. With that, she quickly said:

– Oh, I’m going now.

Before she went upstairs, she couldn’t help but look at Sebastien.

‘I’m sorry I can’t help you. I can only pray for you…’

After everyone left, old Mrs. Alvarez said:

– I am a little tired. Help me get back to my room.

Sebastien moved forward to support old Madame Alvarez.

The old Madame was old. To make things easier for him, his room was downstairs. The design of the room was oriental style. She had lit incense in the room so that a faint scent permeated the room.

After helping her onto the bed, Sebastian knelt on the floor to help Old Madam Alvarez take off her shoes.

She reached out to hold Sebastian’s shoulder, stopping him.

– My feet may be dirty. I appreciate you trying to help me, but I can do it myself…

He didn’t insist. He straightened his back before saying:

– It does not bother me. Everyone will get old eventually…

He didn’t say polite and superficial words to old Mrs. Alvarez. After all, although Old Mrs. Alvarez was old, she was not confused.

Old Madam leaned to the side. A hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes as she said:

– You are an honest child.

He looked down and didn’t answer.

– Roxane ran out in the middle of the night yesterday to look for you. Although Enzo said that she went to pick up the daughter of the Ramos family, this excuse can only fool Joel and Sabrina. It’s not enough to deceive me, said old Mrs. Alvarez.

Sebastien did not deny it.

– I wasn’t in a good mood yesterday. Roxane was worried about me so she left in the middle of the night. There will be no next time.

“I don’t want to blame you,” said old Madame Alvarez, smiling.

– I was young once, and I also knew the passion of young love.

He only smiled weakly in response.

Old Madam Alvarez suddenly changed the subject and said:

-You handled the matter with the Rios family very well before.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

– No. Roxane was always wronged in the end, Sebastien said. In fact, at that time, he already knew that old Madam Alvarez was testing him. However, he didn’t know if the end result satisfied her.

– This child is so nice. She wouldn’t take it to heart even if she was wronged, old Madam Alvarez sighed and said in a low voice:

-That’s why I hope she can find someone who won’t let her be wronged.

– I understand.

Old Mrs. Alvarez nodded in approval as she said:

-Little Flores, you are also a good child. You are kind and responsible. You also have a strong sense of morality. However, in life you will sometimes have to make difficult decisions. Do you understand this?

Sebastien was stunned. He looked at old Mrs. Alvarez, who was looking at him meaningfully, before slowly nodding and saying:

– I understand.

– How can everything be perfect in life? Not everything will go as planned. A lot of things are destined from the start. Not a single person can change what was destined, old Mrs. Alvarez said seriously.

Sebastien did not speak. However, his expression became more and more complicated.

Finally, old Madame Alvarez waved her hand, indicating for him to leave, after saying:

– Come on. Don’t keep yourself waiting.

“Grandma, rest well,” said Sebastien, bowing before leaving the room.

When he came out of the room, he saw Roxane, who had changed into house clothes, waiting for him. She was visibly relieved when she saw him.

She asked anxiously:

– Grandma didn’t scold you, did she?

He shook his head.

– That’s good, said Roxane with a smile,

-Grandma loves me the most, so she will naturally love you too.

A smile appeared on Sebastian’s face as he said:

– Yes, I took advantage of his love for you…
