AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane looked at Sebastien with her mouth open. Her watery eyes seemed unusually bright as she looked at him in a daze, and her face couldn’t help but burn. Then she stammered:

– Even if you say these flowery words, it’s no use! I won’t fall for that.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

– Yes, I have to control myself. I absolutely cannot let myself be fooled by the flowery words of a bastard!

Roxane swallows.

Sebastien caressed her cheek, saying in a low voice overflowing with affection:

– I also wish they were just flowery words. Because of you, I don’t sleep well and I don’t have an appetite. I worry about you, and I just want to be with you 24 hours a day. I’m so useless that I even despise myself.

After so many years, he had gotten used to the loneliness at the top. He had never cared for or felt distressed for another person. He was on good terms with Enzo before because he admired Enzo’s abilities. Rather than let his opponent poach Enzo, he naturally preferred to keep him for his own use. As for why he was on good terms with Quentin, it was because of his family. Both families had business connections and they were also about the same age. It was natural that they would get along. He treated Christine well, but that was only because she was valuable. He was never attracted to anyone and didn’t feel the need to find someone to marry and have children.

Marriage and love were not necessary for him, but Roxane was an exception. She was essential to him. He was someone he would do anything for. He wanted to stay by her side. He wanted marriage and even children as long as he could have them.

Roxane’s heart felt like it had been pinched. She sniffed and stammered:

– You… stop talking.

She really had no resistance to his words. She was afraid of sinking into these words, unable to wake up,

When Sebastien saw that she had calmed down and could now listen to him, he explained slowly:

– That little boy you saw is Mathis Lambert. Her mother’s name is Deborah Holt.

-Lambert?

Roxane blinked.

– He’s not your son?

“Of course not,” Sebastien said without hesitation. He caressed her face and leaned close to her ear before whispering:

– I’m still waiting for you to take away my innocence.

Roxane’s ears turned red immediately. She lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

“How can he say such words? So shameless!”

Sebastien couldn’t help but kiss her when he saw her red face.

-If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to meet them.

‘After all, there is no way to verify if I still have my innocence…’

– No need, replied Roxane in a low and muffled voice,

“I, I believe what you said.

Sebastian smiled.

-Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lie?

She shook her head before looking at him. She said in a low voice:

“You… you even said that. You don’t need to lie to me…

Then she bit her lip to stop herself from laughing.

Sebastien gently pinched her cheek.

– It is very funny ?

She hurriedly shook her head.

– It’s very good that you are like that. This shows that you have a decent lifestyle and don’t mess with women. You are a good example of a modern-day young man.

Sebastien didn’t believe his nonsense. She was probably laughing at him in her heart.

Roxane didn’t want to continue this awkward topic so she asked curiously:

-So why did Mathis call you ‘Daddy’?

Sebastian pretended to be mysterious and didn’t answer him. Instead he said:

– Eat first. I’ll tell you everything after you’ve eaten.

She pursed her lips.

– I don’t want to stay in the hospital.

Every time she was in the hospital, she felt uncomfortable, especially after regaining her memories. She always remembered the time when she was undergoing MECT treatment.

“So, do you want to go back to the hotel with me?” He suggested.

She nodded.

Afterwards, Sebastien asked Patrice to inform Deborah that he would take Roxane back to the hotel first.

…

Sebastien brought Roxane to his room. During their car ride, he had already ordered food to be delivered to the room.

Roxane didn’t eat at the table. Instead, she sat on the floor, in front of the coffee table which was laden with exquisite plates. A huge TV hanging on the wall in front of her was broadcasting a foreign program.

Sebastien sat nearby and watched her eat. His cheeks were puffy like a hamster hoarding food. He thought she was unbearably cute. His heart had never felt so soft and content. He really wanted to hug her, but he only reached out and stroked the top of her head.

Roxane looked at him. His dark eyes were soft and affectionate, and his usually distant expression was gone, replaced by tenderness. She asked:

– What are you doing?

-You are so cute. He smiled.

Roxane:???

-They say that if you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, you will use the word “cute” to describe someone, Roxane said.

-Cute is the best adjective to describe someone, Sebastien said slowly as his fingers played with her earlobe,

– Appearance fades with age, but kindness will not fade with time.

Roxane was delighted with his words. She smiled before taking a big bite of the steak.

After dinner, Sebastian asked for the remains to be removed. Then he took a shirt out of his suitcase and gave it to Roxane to use as pajamas. The dark circles around his eyes were evident; he would be blind if he didn’t notice them.

Roxane took a hot shower and put on her shirt. It was impossible for her to put her underwear back on and she didn’t bring any change. She felt very uncomfortable as she quickly trotted towards the bed. She quickly got into bed and pulled the blanket up until only her large, light eyes were exposed.

Sebastian was staying in a suite so he went to the other bathroom to take a shower.

When he entered the room, Roxane held her breath, feeling nervous. Seeing that he was heading towards the bed, she asked:

– You, you’re not going to sleep in the other room?

Sebastien stopped next to the bedside. Then he asked:

– You don’t want to know more about Mathis?

Roxane’s eyes lit up. She quickly moved to the side and patted the empty space, motioning for him to get into bed.

– Since you’re going to talk about that, I’m not sleepy anymore.

A helpless smile appeared on Sebastian’s face as he climbed into bed. He didn’t expect her to be so talkative.

Roxane took the initiative to cover him with the blanket. Then, she looked at him with eyes sparkling with anticipation and said:

-Hurry up and say it!

Sebastien looked down. For a moment, he didn’t know where to start.

Roxane was a little impatient waiting. She reached out and pushed his hard chest, asking:

-Why don’t you say anything?

He took a deep breath. He held her soft hand, not allowing her to move away. He swallowed several times before saying:

– Mathis’ father is Fernand Lambert. He died a few years ago following an accident. Deborah was pregnant at the time, but the Lambert family had objected to her being with Fernand from the beginning, so they naturally refused to acknowledge Mathis’ existence.

– Fernand and I grew up together. We also spent two years abroad. After he left, Deborah’s condition was not very good and she was also pregnant. I took care of her for a while. This child never had a father. To thank me, Deborah made me her godfather.
