AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

– Enzo, look at me. I fell in love with you that much. Can you… give me a chance? I promise not to bicker or scold you again in the future. If you like cute and helpless ones, I can do that too…I…

Jessica couldn’t finish her words before tears slowly fell from her eyes. She lowered her head. Tears rolled down his lips which curled into a bitter smile.

– Enzo, I don’t want to love you anymore. I really don’t want to love you anymore. You can be with whoever you want. I won’t take care of you anymore. I won’t see you or talk to you anymore… I really hate you to death!

By the end, she was crying so hard she couldn’t even stand properly. She squatted down and continued to cry. Her tears fell like rain. She really didn’t want to love him anymore. It was too exhausting. It was even more exhausting to love someone and still pretend she didn’t. She lived every day in a state of worry, and like a puppet, all her emotions were controlled by him. She was no longer like herself; she wasn’t bold or brave, just pathetic.

…

At the same time, Roxane, who was upstairs, could no longer contain her curiosity. She quietly walked over to the railing to take a look.

‘Jessica should have confessed by now. Will Brother accept his confession?’

However, when she looked down, she didn’t see her brother. There was only Jessica. More importantly, she was squatting on the ground, hugging her knees. Her shoulders shook slightly, indicating that she was crying.

Roxane’s heart sank. Without another thought, she quickly ran downstairs.

-Jessica…

As soon as she heard Roxane’s voice, she sniffled and quickly wiped the tears from her face with trembling fingers.

-Where is my brother?

She asked looking around. Then she asked again:

– What happened?

Jessica replied hoarsely:

– He left.

Roxane was stunned.

– He… He rejected you?

She did not answer this question. Instead she said:

– I want to go home. Tell the staff to come down. Let’s not delay business here…

Roxane couldn’t hide the worry in her eyes.

-Jessica, if you’re in a bad mood, I’ll drink with you. It doesn’t matter how much you drink!

That’s what best friends were like. They would do anything for each other when one of them was heartbroken.

In the past, whenever Enzo had a new girlfriend, Jessica would drink in his misfortune. Every time she got drunk, Roxane sent her home. She had drunk too much for Enzo, and she didn’t want to drink anymore.

– Roxane, I don’t want to drink. I won’t drink again in the future…

For her, abstaining from alcohol was like abstaining from Enzo.

She had never seen Jessica like this before. Jessica’s grief over the death of her heart seemed overwhelming.

Jessica’s eyes reddened again. Although her heart felt like it had been stabbed, she still smiled faintly. Her icy fingers gently touched Roxane’s face as she said:

-You should also come home early. Don’t let President Flores worry about you…

After saying this, she walked away. However, she didn’t even take a few steps before she tripped.

Roxane quickly supported him and said with concern:

“I’ll ask Logan to send you back.

Jessica shook her head. She was about to refuse when Roxane said resolutely:

“Logan is going to fire you. I’ll tell Mr. Seb to come get me. Or, why don’t we wait for Mr. Seb together so we can send you away?

At that moment, she needed to be alone. After listening to Roxane, she could only helplessly agree to let Logan send her away.

Roxane helped Jessica into the car before she told Logan to send her home safely.

Logan nodded.

The misty moonlight shone faintly on the city. The wind was slightly cool, causing goosebumps on Roxane’s blond arms. She crossed her arms as she watched the car drive away. His mood was gloomy and sadness was visible on his face.
