AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Logan was driving the car.

A bodyguard drove another car and followed from behind.

Roxane watched the car speed away from the beautiful neighborhood, speeding past tall buildings before turning onto a quiet, rundown street.

Logan had to slow down. The road was old and there were lots of potholes and bumps.

Sebastien took Roxane in his arms.

She could smell his woody scent. She raised her head slightly and looked at his chin. Every time the car drove over a bump or pothole, it slammed against his hot, hard chest. This made his heart soften immediately.

After stopping, Logan asked:

– Madam, is this the place?

Roxane came to her senses and looked at the alley and the dilapidated buildings. When she saw a familiar sign, she responded with a

– Mmm…

The couple got out of the car and walked hand in hand down a narrow alley as Logan and the bodyguard walked some distance behind them.

This old residential area would soon be demolished. Most of the residents had already moved out. There were only a few families who stubbornly refused to move.

The alley was dark and the summer night wind carried a stench.

Finally, Sebastien asked:

– What is this place?

– Our old house, replied Roxane, pointing towards the front,

-At the time, my family and the Rios family both lived here. The Rios family moved first. Later, when Dad’s business took off, we moved as well.

Sebastien didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he paid attention to where they walked, making sure she didn’t trip and hurt herself. In the end, he thought it would be easier to carry her so he reached out and lifted her. It was like lifting a rabbit.

Roxane: …

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to feel happy or angry. It was a little humiliating, but not really.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Roxane stopped in front of a door that had stained with time. His eyes swept over the pile of trash in front of the door.

Sebastian followed her gaze before turning to look at Logan meaningfully.

Logan understood Sebastian’s intention so he stepped forward.

Sebastien pulled Roxane aside.

Slam!

Logan lifted his leg and opened the door easily.

Roxane’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as she watched Logan calmly and expressionlessly pat the dirt from his pants after opening the door.

He bowed slightly and stepped back.

After that, the bodyguard entered the house first and turned on the lights.

After determining that everything was okay, Sebastien and Roxane entered the house.

The house had been empty for a long time so it was incredibly dusty. A musty smell lingered in the air. The strange thing was that there was no dust on the table.

Sebastien took Roxane with him. After sitting down in a chair, he patted his knees and said:NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

– Sit down.

Roxane glanced at the bodyguard, who was standing at the entrance, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Sebastian reached out to her and pulled her to sit on his lap. Then he said to the bodyguard:

– Search.

The bodyguard immediately got to work.

The house was not big. There were only three small rooms. In less than three minutes, the bodyguard dragged Mina into the living room while he covered her mouth. Then he threw her on the floor in the living room like he was throwing trash.

Mina’s clothes were dirty and her hair was disheveled. Her pale face turned paler when she saw Roxane. His almond-shaped eyes revealed his fear.

Roxane wanted to get up, but she felt the iron grip on her waist. She said with a hint of helplessness:

– Let go for a moment…

Sebastien hesitated for a few moments before letting go.

She stood up and moved to stand in front of Mina. She raised her hand and slapped him.

Mina’s face turned to the side. A handprint was clearly visible on his pale face. She turned to look at Roxane. Anger burned in her eyes as she said:

– You dare to hit me!

– Why not?

She smiled. However, the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Mina bit her lip and didn’t respond.

Roxane raised her hand and slapped Mina again. This time she slapped his right side. The handprints on both sides of Mina’s face were symmetrical, dispelling the symptoms of her obsessive-compulsive disorder.

-Roxane! Mina shouted. However, when she met Sebastian’s cold gaze, she swallowed her words hard.

Roxane smiled.

– And me? Don’t you know I slapped you?

Mina naturally knew the reason very well. She wanted to expose Roxane’s past to Sebastien, and she also wanted to push Roxane back. However, she didn’t expect things to get this bad. She didn’t expect to be discovered by Roxane and the others and she didn’t expect the police to be involved either. She was afraid of being detained. Therefore, she could only hide like a rat who couldn’t see the light, hiding in a pile of smelly garbage. She was on edge all the time. Who knew it wasn’t the police who found her first, but Roxane.

Mina didn’t want to give up. She looked at the man sitting in the chair with barely concealed admiration in her eyes. Then she said:

– Do you know he’s a monster? She has been able to speak since birth, and she has not cried or laughed. She was bullied by others and even had her photo taken! Who knows how many men have seen her photos? Don’t you think it’s very dirty?
