AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Raoul’s expression was calm as he replied softly:

– Since I chose to be with Christy, I will definitely take good care of her.

Sebastian sneered. His cold gaze shone with ridicule as he said:

– Don’t forget our agreement.

Raoul didn’t say anything. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Christine come out of the dining room. Then he took the suitcase down.

Sebastien frowned as he looked at Raoul’s back. He had to admit that Raoul was rather cunning. The more cunning he was, the harder it would be to tame him.

Christine didn’t like the heartbreak of breaking up so she refused to let Roxane send her to the airport. They only bid farewell to the Moon Pavilion.

Roxane’s expression was one of reluctance and sadness as she watched the car drive away from the Moon Pavilion.

Sebastien pinched her cheek lightly and said tenderly:

– Do not be sad. She will return once her legs are better.

-I know, but who knows how long it will take?

She said with a pout:

– No one will go to college with me from now on…

-At most, I will send you to university every day and pick you up after your classes, okay? Sebastian asked. The love in his voice couldn’t be hidden at all.

Roxane smiled, revealing the dimples on her cheeks.

-You are so busy with work. Forget. Luckily, I still have Jessica to accompany me.

Sebastien lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek. A hint of joy could be heard in his low, hoarse voice as he said:

– You are so attentive to your husband.

Roxane’s face turned red from embarrassment. She looked around before touching her chest and said:

– Be careful! People are going to see us!

It was okay to do all kinds of embarrassing things behind closed doors, but outside, even if it was just a kiss on the face, she was so embarrassed that her toes would curl.

Sebastien smiles while holding her little hand.

– They know the rules very well.

The Moon Pavilion staff were personally selected and trained by the butler, and they certainly did not lack tact.

Roxane scoffed.

-You are still not allowed to do such things.

He touched her dimples while looking at her tenderly. He was fascinated by them.

Roxane’s heart trembled slightly. She quickly looked away before hesitantly saying:

– I want to meet Deborah.

Sebastian’s fingers stopped before dropping his hand. He asked :

-Is it because of Enzo?

Roxane nodded.

-Can you speak to my brother?

He put his hands in his pockets and said:

– I don’t dare disobey my wife’s orders.

Seeing that he agreed to her request, she squeezed his arm and said happily:

– THANKS ! Mr. Seb, you are the best!

-You really are much better than my idiot brother!

Sebastien’s smile widens before saying with an impassive face:

– It’s good that you know that.

…

There wasn’t much in the cafe in the afternoon.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Although golden sunlight streamed in through the window, it was cool inside.

Customers sat in groups of two or three, drinking coffee and chatting in hushed tones. They smiled from time to time and their eyes were bright.

As Roxane’s period had not yet arrived, she did not dare to drink cold drinks. She ordered a cup of hot chocolate and even took a photo of it to show Sebastian.

– Good girl.

She laughed when she saw his response. At the same time, a figure took a seat in front of her.

– Please excuse my delay.

Roxane looked up and saw Deborah’s delicate face.

She had a gentle demeanor and a delicate appearance. Due to the heat outside, fine beads of sweat dotted his forehead. However, his face didn’t look red from the heat. Instead, he was very pale.

– It’s good. I ordered an iced Americano for you. If you don’t like it, you can order something else.

Deborah shook her head slightly.

– It’s not necessary.

After serving the ice cold Americano, the waiter left.

Deborah didn’t add sugar to her drink. She gently picked it up and took a sip. Her expression didn’t change at all when she drank the bitter drink.

Roxane saw Deborah’s unchanging expression while drinking the coffee and said with a sigh:

– Mr. Seb is like you. He doesn’t add sugar to his coffee. He drinks it as if he were drinking regular water.

Deborah’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before setting down her cup. She smiled and said:

– We got used to it when we were abroad.

After a brief pause, she asked bluntly:

– Mrs. Flores, you didn’t invite me out just to offer me a cup of coffee, did you?

Roxane was very simple and didn’t beat around the bush either. She said:

– I heard from my brother that he wanted to marry you.

Deborah was slightly surprised. She thought Enzo’s words that night in the hospital were just to humiliate her. She couldn’t help but wonder if he was serious now. After a moment she said:

– I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but I’ve already rejected him.

Deborah’s position was clear and firm; she wouldn’t marry Enzo.

-However, my brother is also very firm on this matter. He seems to really like you, Roxane said. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she openly studied Deborah.

She was a delicate beauty. Although she was beautiful, her beauty was not the kind that would make people fall in love with her at first sight.

Deborah smiled mockingly as she said:

– Like me? Stop laughing! Even if he really loves me, I won’t marry him.

Roxane nodded when she heard these words.

– It’s good. I don’t want you to be my sister-in-law either.

Deborah was stunned by Roxane’s frankness. Then she asked:

– For what ? If I marry Enzo, you won’t have to worry about me ruining your relationship with Sebastian.

– Because you don’t love my brother, said Roxane firmly,

– And because I’m not worried, you’re not going to ruin my relationship with Mr. Seb.

-Why are you so coincidental?

Deborah was slightly perplexed.

A smile as beautiful as the moon in the night sky bloomed on Roxane’s face as she said:

– Put everything else aside, I don’t think you would fall in love with any other man except Fernand.

Deborah’s eyes immediately widened as she looked at the young woman in front of her in shock.

Roxane continued to say:

– I saw Fernand’s photos. Not only was he handsome, but I heard he also treated you very well when you were together. How could you fall in love with another man after being loved by such a man?

Furthermore, she knew Sebastien very well. He was cold and distant to everyone, including the opposite sex. With the gentle and considerate Fernand serving as a contrast, most girls would not like Sebastien. For this reason, she did not believe that Deborah would fall in love with Sebastien. However, she was really perplexed as to why Deborah insisted on harassing Sebastien.

A feeling of desolation rose in Deborah’s heart as tears welled up in her eyes. She didn’t come from a good background. At the time, when she was with Fernand, everyone thought she was after his money. When Fernand broke ties with the Lambert family, everyone said she would leave him soon. No one expected him to die in an accident. At that time, everyone said that she was unlucky, but she would soon fall in love with another rich man. When they discovered that she was pregnant with Fernand’s child, they looked at her with pitiful and contemptuous expressions. They said she wanted to use her child to get money from the Lambert family, but she failed miserably. After all, the Lambert family refused to recognize that the child belonged to their family. They didn’t even want to see the child.

Without Sebastien’s help, she might not have been able to successfully give birth to Mathis.

From the beginning until now, no one had ever believed that she really loved Fernand. Roxane was the first person.
