AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien and Roxane did not stay for dinner. They left with the mooncakes that Sabrina had prepared.

She deliberately gave them two more boxes. His intention was quite obvious.

After getting into the car, Roxane waved to her parents through the window as the car slowly drove away.

A loving smile appeared on Sabrina’s face as she held her husband’s arm and asked softly:

– Have you noticed that Roxane is a little different now?

– Eh? How is it different? He was confused. He was a man, so his perception about it wasn’t as strong.

Sabrina looked at him.

-Have you not noticed that she is much closer to us now? In the afternoon, while we were making mooncakes, she even took the initiative to comfort me. She even talked about what happened when she was young…

She suddenly stopped talking. Her eyes were filled with shock as she looked in the direction the car had gone. Then, tears suddenly streamed down her face.

Joel was frightened by the sudden change in his wife.

– W-what happened? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?

She didn’t say anything. She covered her mouth to stop herself from crying. She finally realized that the things Roxane had talked about earlier were things she had supposedly forgotten!

Sabrina could no longer hold back her years.

Joel was so anxious that his face and ears turned red. He was perplexed.

– W-what happened?

She shook her head and suppressed her emotions before smiling happily:

– It’s nothing. I just feel like our daughter has grown up.

‘Our daughter is finally back…’

…

Roxane and Sebastien did not return to the Moon Pavilion. Instead, they delivered the mooncakes to Enzo. They rang the doorbell, but no one opened the door. Then they went down to ring the doorbell.

Roxane was not surprised when Enzo opened the door to Deborah’s house.

On the contrary, he was surprised.

“Don’t you both spend time with Mom and Dad?” Why are you here?

Roxane held Sebastien’s arm saying:

– Mom made mooncakes and asked me to give them to you.

Enzo took the mooncakes. Just as he was about to chase them away, Mathis ran away and hugged Sebastian.

– Dad!

– How many times have I told you? He’s not your dad! If you really lack fatherly love, you can call me ‘Daddy’! Enzo said, grabbing Mathis’ collar and lifting him with one hand.

“I don’t call you ‘Daddy’!” Mathis said arrogantly, turning away.

“You little brat!” We still need to teach you a lesson! Enzo said pinching Mathis’ cheek.

He cried out, feeling wronged,

– Mom !!! This nasty uncle is harassing me again!

– Enzo, can you…

Deborah went out and saw Roxane and Sebastien at the door. She asked, surprised:

– Why are you here ?

“To deliver mooncakes to my brother,” Roxane replied. She saw that Deborah was even paler and more haggard than before. She asked :

– You… How do you feel?

– I’m doing well.

Deborah’s soft voice seemed weak.

Enzo frowned.

-Why did you go out? Go to sleep in your room!

Deborah reached out to carry Mathis, saying:

– Since your sister is here, you should go back with her.

Enzo turned to the side to avoid Deborah’s hands. He said :Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“If I go back with her, what are you going to do? The assistant left for vacation. If I leave, this little brat will starve to death.

– I can cook. If I can’t, I can order, Deborah said stubbornly. She was indeed too weak to carry Mathis now so she cried out softly:

– Mumu, come down.

He obediently slipped out of her arms.

Enzo refused to leave.

– We agreed that I would cook today to show off my culinary skills!

After saying that, he looked at Roxane and Sebastien.

– Put down the mooncakes. Do what you’re supposed to do. Don’t stay there.

Roxane looked at Enzo like he was an alien.

– Brother, are you going to cook? Are you sure you don’t blow up the kitchen?

After all, he was someone who didn’t even know how to cook instant noodles.

Enzo was slightly annoyed by his sister’s lack of confidence in him. He said :

-Are you saying I can’t cook? Even if I don’t know how to cook, I can learn! What’s so difficult about cooking?

Roxane blinked.

“So why don’t you cook me something now?”

Enzo scoffed.

– Ha! Are you trying to goad me? What’s so difficult? Don’t think you’re the only one who knows how to cook! If you can cook, then I definitely can cook!

Roxane retorted:

– I can have children, can you?

-…

Enzo was successfully provoked. He turned around and immediately went into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Deborah could only invite Roxane and Sebastien inside.

She told him not to be polite before quickly sitting down.

Deborah nodded and lowered her head to cough several times.

Meanwhile, Mathis leaned against Sebastian’s side and pulled on his pants.

– Dad, give me a hug…

Deborah glanced at Roxane. Although she had no reaction, she still said:

– Mumu, it’s not ‘dad’. It’s Uncle Flores.

Mathis’ eyes turned red as soon as he heard these words. Then, he looked up at Sebastien and asked in his childish voice:

– You… Are you really married to Sister?

– Not my sister. Call her ‘Auntie,’ Sebastian said, picking up Mathis and placing the little boy on his lap,

-Your mother and I are just friends. If you agree, you can call me ‘Godfather’ and call her ‘Godmother’.

Deborah was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect that they would still agree to recognize Mumu as their godson.

Mathis lowered his head sadly and said in an annoyed tone:

– I don’t want to be your godson. I want to be your son and call you dad…

Although he was young, he knew the difference between fathers and godfathers.

Sebastien didn’t say anything. Recognizing Mathis as his godson was the biggest concession he would make.

“If you want to call him ‘Daddy,’ then just call him ‘Daddy,'” Roxane said. She didn’t care much about this matter. In any case, as long as Deborah didn’t insist on marrying Sebastien, she didn’t care.

Sebastien turned to look at Roxane. He asked:

– So generous?

She raised her chin proudly and said:

– Of course ! How can I be petty to a child?

Mathis really wanted Sebastien to be his father. However, his mother had repeatedly told him that he was not his biological father and that he would have children of his own in the future. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Roxane and asked:

-Sister, when are you giving birth to a child for dad?

-Oh?

She really didn’t understand a child’s thought process. How did this suddenly jump into her delivery?

Mathis sniffed, holding back tears as he said:

– Quickly give birth to a daughter for daddy! When I grow up and marry him, Dad will still be my Dad! I promise I will work hard to earn money! In the future, I will buy her bags, diamonds, flowers and all kinds of things! I will also be filial to all of you and take care of you in your old age!

Sebastien: …

Roxane: …

‘Young man, you are truly clairvoyant…’
