AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After class ended, Roxane invited Jessica and Christine to accompany her to buy some gifts. She didn’t forget the duo and told them to choose whatever they wanted.

There was nothing Jessica wanted, so she simply chose a phone case.

Christine, on the other hand, was very serious when choosing her gift. In the end, she chose an exquisite and beautiful bracelet at a moderate price. After all, it was her first gift from her sister-in-law.

Roxane did not have a meal with them. Instead, she visited her grandmother in the hospital with the gift she had bought.

Old Mrs. Alvarez was about to eat when she saw Roxane. Her eyes immediately lit up with joy as she asked:

– Why did you suddenly come?

Roxane walked over happily and sat down before saying:

– I missed you.

– Did you eat? Otherwise, I will ask someone to buy something, the old lady asked affectionately.

– No need, no need. I bought some food before I came, Roxane said as she placed the takeaway she ordered on the table.

– Tonight you can have these extra dishes. We won’t tell Mom and Dad about this.

Before coming to the ward, she had checked with the doctor that her grandmother could eat the meals she had bought.

Old Mrs. Alvarez pinched Roxane’s cheek lightly and said:

– Mischievous ! Let me see what you bought.

– It’s all your favorite dishes…NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

During dinner, Roxane told her grandmother about the competition and gave her the gift she had purchased.

– Stupid child, why are you wasting your money? I don’t lack anything.

Roxane opened the bag and brought the gift she had bought, saying in a soft voice:

– Don’t people earn money to spend it? How can you say it’s a waste?

The old lady lived alone in the hospital. Although Sabrina visited her often, it was inevitable that she would always feel alone. She didn’t know how to use her smartphone, so she spent most of her time watching TV.

For this reason, Roxane bought her grandmother a radio. She said:

– In the past, you liked listening to the radio the most. Unfortunately, your old radio broke down so you stopped listening to it. She turned on the radio and changed the station, saying: In the future, you can listen to it again. There are talk shows you like…

In this age of advanced technology, radios had almost become obsolete. However, there were older people who could not keep up with the times and could not adopt new technologies. They stubbornly clung to things of the past. Old lady Alvarez was one of those people.

Roxane had never forced her grandmother to keep up with technology. She respected the old lady’s choice.

She was relieved when she saw that Roxane’s gift was not very expensive. She quickly said she loved him and praised him for his thoughtfulness.

She stayed in the hospital until the old lady fell asleep before reluctantly leaving.

…

The Moon Pavilion was brightly lit when she returned. When she walked in, she immediately saw the man sitting on the sofa.

– Hey, haven’t you gone to bed yet?

Sebastien raised his head to look at her, faintly recognizing her.

– I went to visit grandmother, she explained the reason for her late return.

“I know,” said Sebastien. Fearing causing a misunderstanding, he added:

– Christine came earlier and she told me about it.

– She even showed off the gift she received today…

Roxane nodded before saying:

-Then I will go back to my room first. You should rest early. Good night.

Without waiting for him to speak, she rushed upstairs.

The newspaper in Sebastian’s hands was gripped tightly as his expression visibly darkened.

…

Roxane had just put down her backpack and was about to take her pajamas into the bathroom when a hand reached out and closed the closet door.

– Eh?

She turned to the side and met Sebastian’s deep, cold eyes. She asked in confusion:

– What’s wrong?

– What’s wrong?

He said slowly:

-What do you think is wrong?

Roxane looked at him innocently.

– I don’t know.

Sebastian frowned, reaching out to grab her chin. He studied her face carefully as if searching for something. He felt his chest tighten when he didn’t find what he was looking for. He angrily withdrew his hand and left.

Roxane looked at his back and couldn’t help but laugh. She took a few steps towards him.
