AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Mathis was not generally shy. However, facing Sebastien, he was like a mouse facing a cat. All it took was one look from Sebastian, he became obedient immediately.

Deborah felt a little helpless and apologized as well. She said :

-Actually, there’s nothing serious. It’s just that Mumu was worried and insisted that you come. He misses you.

Mathis nodded quickly.

– Dad, I missed you! You missed me so much!

When Roxane acted flirtatiously, Sebastian’s heart immediately melted into a puddle. However, when Mathis acted coquettishly, he frowned slightly and said sternly:

-A boy shouldn’t be so flirtatious.

-…

‘Is this gender discrimination?’

– I’m doing well. It’s late now. You should all go home and rest early, Deborah said.

– So what about you ?

Roxane, who was nice, asked. Seeing that one was a widow with an injured leg and the other was an orphan, she couldn’t help but worry.

“The doctor said I need to be hospitalized,” Deborah replied. Then she turned her gaze to Mathis and said hesitantly:

– It’s just that Mumu…

Roxane was pretty quick-witted at the moment. She immediately understood Deborah’s unspoken words. Her small hands immediately tugged at Sebastian’s shirt.

He looked at her and understood what she wanted. He said lightly:

– Mathis can stay with me for the next few days. You should rest well.

Deborah’s expression immediately calmed.

“Then I’ll have to bother you.”

Then she looked at Roxane and said:

– I’m going to have to bother you too, Mrs. Flores.

Addressing Sebastien as Sebastien and Roxane as Mme Flores clearly showed the closeness and distance between the two.

– Mumu, don’t be mean. You must be obedient, Deborah gently reminded her son.

Mathis nodded obediently.

-Mom, I will be obedient and I will listen to Dad.

After saying that, he raised his head to look at Sebastian as if seeking his approval.

Sebastien ignored the little boy’s flattering smile and said:

– I’ve already spoken to the people at the hospital. If you need anything, just tell the nurse.

Deborah nodded slightly.

– Thank you, Sebastien.

He held Roxane’s hand again before looking down at the little boy and saying:

– Let’s go.

Mathis spread his arms and said:

– Dad, carry me.

Sebastian frowned.

– You don’t have legs?

The corners of Mathis’ lips twitched before he said pitifully:

– I… can’t walk anymore…

Sebastien didn’t move. It was obvious that he had no intention of spoiling the little boy.

Roxane’s heart immediately softened.

-Why don’t I carry you?

Mathis hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Just as Roxane was about to bend down to carry Mathis, Sebastien moved in front of her and leaned down to carry Mathis with one hand. He said :

– It’s so big. You won’t be able to wear it.

Mathis said indignantly:

– I’m not fat! I have a slim figure!

Roxane looked at Mathis’ angry face and couldn’t help but poke his cheek.

He turned away, burying his head against Sebastian’s neck, not allowing Roxane to peck his cheek.

Roxane didn’t take it to heart. She let Sebastian hold her hand and walked out of the emergency room.

Deborah watched the trio leave. Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked down to hide the emotions in her eyes.

…

After getting into the car, Mathis refused to leave Sebastien’s arms.

He lightly slapped Mathis’s buttocks and said seriously:

– Boys shouldn’t be so delicate.

Mathis sat between Sebastien and Roxane while he complained in a childish voice:

– Dad, you don’t love me anymore! You have a new wife so you don’t love me and mom anymore!

Sebastien frowned slightly as he said:

– I have already told you that I am not your father and that your mother is not my wife. We are not a family.

Tears welled up in Mathis’s eyes immediately as he choked up and said:© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

– Yes ! We are a family ! We are a family !

Tears continued to stream down Mathis’ face.

Sebastien was about to scold Mathis, but Roxane took the lead and said in a soft voice:

– Alright Alright. He is still young and doesn’t understand what you are saying.

– Ha!

He snickered as he said to himself, “It’s not that he doesn’t understand. In fact, he probably understands too much.”

– Don’t cry, don’t cry anymore…

Roxane said, reaching out to wipe Mathis’ tears. She cajoled him awkwardly:

-If you cry, you will no longer be beautiful.

Mathis turned around and crawled into Roxane’s arms.

She was afraid he would fall so she reached out to hug him.

He wiped his snot and tears on Roxane’s dress.

Roxane: …

Mathis sniffed and glanced at Roxane. Seeing that she was not angry, he unscrupulously wiped her snot and tears on her.
