AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane spent almost an hour in the bathroom. When she came downstairs, she saw Sebastian sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee. She tried to hide her embarrassment by asking:

– Didn’t Christine come back last night?

Sebastien saw through his thoughts and said:

– She returned to the old residence.

“Oh,” said Roxane. She had just sat down when she saw Patrice enter from outside.

“Hello, Madam,” Patrice greeted her. Then he immediately got to work. He said :

– President Flores, do you need me to take care of your luggage as before?

In the past, every time Sebastien went on a business trip, Patrice helped him pack.

Sebastian nodded.

– Yes.

After Patrice went upstairs to pack Sebastien’s luggage, Roxane looked at him and asked:

– Are you going on a business trip?

“Yes, for a week,” Sebastien replied. He placed his coffee cup on the table and thought of something. Then he asked:

– What kind of gift do you want?

Roxane shook her head.

– I don’t need a gift.

Sebastien frowned slightly. Then he said as if he had not heard her refusal:

-Then I’ll just choose a gift for myself.

She didn’t understand why he was so insistent on giving her a gift. She said :

– I don’t really need anything. You really don’t need to buy me a present.

Like before, Sebastian acted as if he hadn’t heard her. He handed her a pair of chopsticks and said:

– Eat your breakfast.

-…

…

After breakfast, Roxane went to the university and Sebastien went to the airport. The two places were in completely different directions.

She accompanied Sebastien to the car.

After Patrice put the luggage in the trunk of the car, he got into the passenger seat.

The butler and the others were very tactful and entered the house, leaving the couple alone.

Sebastien stood near the car door and looked at her, saying:

– When I’m not here, don’t go to Blue Temptation. The weather is getting warmer so take care of yourself. Don’t run all the time.

She nodded.

– I know. No matter how busy you are with work, you must remember to eat and rest.

He nodded. He was silent for a brief moment. He couldn’t help but reach out to hug her. He held her tightly as he kissed the top of her head.

– Don’t forget that you miss me.

Roxane wrapped her arms around his waist. When she thought she wouldn’t see him for a week, she hesitated to part with him.

– All right.

Sebastian moved his lips next to her ear before saying in a voice only the two of them could hear:

– When I come back, let’s try the ultra-thin first, okay?

Roxane stopped breathing for a moment. Then, her face turned red as she pulled away and glared at him.

– Okay, I’m leaving…

He pinched her nose affectionately before turning around and getting into the car. He didn’t dare turn towards her, afraid of not being able to control himself. He really wished he could pack her and take her with him.

…

The moment Sebastien left, Roxane felt as if she had lost her soul. She was listless and only went through the day mechanically. She was still in a daze after class ended. She had just left the classroom when she saw Christine running.

She said enthusiastically:

– Roxane, let’s go shopping!NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Roxane: ?

Christine moved to Roxane’s side and whispered:

– Raoul already lent me his shirt and it’s dirty. I want to buy him a new shirt in exchange.

– Didn’t you say previously that you had already washed it?

Roxane was perplexed, wondering if she had heard wrong or remembered incorrectly.

– Uh…

Christine held Roxane’s arm, looking embarrassed as she said:

-I, I just want to buy him a new one. Roxy, come with me, okay?

Roxane remembered Jessica’s words and understood Christine’s intention. When she thought about returning home without Sebastien, she easily agreed to accompany Christine to go shopping.
