AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastian’s deep eyes were calm as he looked at her. His face was mostly expressionless, but there was a slight frown that betrayed his emotions. Many scattered thoughts crossed his mind. The thoughts were absurd, but if they were true, then a lot of things would make sense. Finally, he said in a deep voice:

– You knew Christine was going to have an accident.

He didn’t ask any questions. It was a statement.

He went on to say:

-You deliberately made her stay at the Moon Pavilion to keep an eye on her. You knew how she was going to die. That’s why when the accident happened, you wrapped her in your clothes and protected her with your arms.

Roxane:!!!

‘Help me!’

She had just made a slight mistake so how had he guessed all of a sudden? She lowered her head, looking guilty as she said:

– I, I didn’t know… I really didn’t know anything… I don’t understand what you’re saying…

Roxane’s reaction made Sebastien even more certain of his absurd speculation. He was neither happy nor unhappy. Another incident arose in his mind, and he asked:

-At the time, Enzo didn’t tell you that Christine was in a coma. You already knew. You also knew in advance that grandma was in trouble, so you rushed to the hospital even though you hadn’t been warned.

She bit her lip and closed her eyes. His mind was in disarray. She couldn’t find an excuse. More importantly, she didn’t want to lie to him.

-At the time, you insisted on using my car. Did you predict something was going to happen?

Obviously, he was convinced that she could predict the future.

Roxane didn’t look at him. She bit her lip hard, refusing to speak. She was going to pretend to be dead to get through this critical moment.

Sebastian took a deep breath and held his cold hands. His eyes held a hint of pleading as he said:

– Roxane, I won’t force you to tell me your secret if you don’t want to. However, I hope you can answer my last question. Yes or no?

He wanted to know if at the time she really knew something was going to happen to him so she insisted on using his car.

Roxane’s hand was held firmly by his warm hand. Its warmth seemed to seep into his body and flow through his blood to his heart. She looked up at him slowly, meeting his dark eyes. His heart seemed to melt at this moment. It seemed that the answer was very important to him; he would probably be very disappointed if she refused him. She looked down again before nodding slowly.

With that nod, not only did Sebastian get the answer to his last question, but he answered all the other questions as well.

His breathing quickened and he felt like his heart had been hit by something. His mind was in disarray and his eyes were dark as he asked:

– For what? Weren’t you afraid?

At that time, they had just met. They weren’t even friends.

Sebastien thought the accident was just a coincidence. He didn’t expect that she deliberately insisted on using her car to save him. He was shocked to be protected by the frail young woman in front of him.

In the past 20 years, especially in his youth, no one had cared about him. These people used the most extreme method to hurt him, forcing him to grow and ultimately making him invincible.

For the first time he felt what it was like to be protected. Not only did Roxane protect him, but she risked her life to do so. If she hadn’t insisted on switching cars with him, he would have died. For the first time in so many years, someone was willing to protect him and love him.

“Of course, I was afraid,” Roxane muttered. She glanced at him before quickly lowering her gaze again. She continued by saying:

-We had just gotten married at the time. If you died, I would be a young widow. Grandma would definitely be worried. Plus, you’re my brother’s boss. If you died, his job would definitely be affected. He has a bad temper so it’s rare that he has a boss who can tolerate him…

She looked at him again. When she met his dark eyes, she fell silent before adding:

“Okay, I admit I also had my own selfish reason for saving you. You are so beautiful… It would be a shame if you died young…

“All other reasons are just to cover up the fact that I was possessed by lust! Who asked him to be so beautiful? It’s okay that I was blinded by beauty!”

Sebastian’s eyes flashed. Then he leaned down and took her in his arms. He remembered to avoid her injured arm as he hugged her tightly. His eyes were wet and his throat seemed blocked. He couldn’t speak at all. His heart seemed to have been shaken. He felt touched, happy and distressed. His emotions were all mixed up.

Roxane was slightly caught off guard by the hug. After a moment, she hugged his narrow waist with her uninjured arm. She asked :

– Mr. Seb, what’s wrong?

She could sense that something was wrong with him.

Sebastien took a deep breath before kissing her forehead. He was gentle and affectionate.

Roxane’s forehead burned and her body was numb. Her clear eyes were pure and charming and she looked at him intently as if trying to look into his heart.

“Thank you,” said Sebastien in a low, hoarse voice.

– Eh?

“I can’t repay you for saving my life, I can only…

Sebastian’s fingers gently caressed her face as he slowly said:

– I can only give myself to you…

-…

Roxane’s face reddened as she looked at him and said:

-You’re trying to trick me again…

He smiled slightly. Her unshed tears were gone, replaced by love. He said :

– Roxane, thank you for saving me. Thank you for saving Christine.

She lowered her head and said with a smile:

– No need to thank me. Either way, you’ve already given yourself to me.

He saw her red ears and reached out to caress one of her earlobes. He swallowed before saying in a low voice:

-If you have any problems in the future, tell me, okay? Don’t take risks alone. Is it OK?

She looked at him silently.

“I won’t ask you how you know, and I won’t tell anyone.

She blinked and asked:© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

– You really won’t ask?

Sebastian nodded. His hand was still playing with her earlobe as he casually said:

– It doesn’t matter anyway.

– It’s not serious ?

Roxane asked curiously:

– So what is considered a big problem?

– Divorce is a big problem. Or the person you love the most is the person who gave you that umbrella…

Compared to his secret, these things were more important to him.

The corners of Roxane’s lips twitched. Then she said kindly:

“I won’t divorce you unless that’s what you want. And…

She looked at him with clear eyes, and her expression became serious as she slowly said:

– Right now, the person I love most is you. It will be the same in the future. It’s impossible for me to love another man.

‘There is no one better than Mr. Seb…’

Sebastian’s eyes flashed as he asked:

– What if that person who gave you the umbrella appears in the future?

“I will always love only you,” Roxane replied without hesitation. Although his voice was soft, it was firm. She continued to say:

– He gave me an umbrella when it rained, but it was you who held me up when my world fell apart.

Compared to this person who gave her the umbrella in her darkest hour, Sebastian, who supported her, had occupied her heart for a long time.
