AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When she was about to leave after class, she was summoned by Watson.

Not surprisingly, he asked if she had thought about going abroad.

She looked hesitant as she said:

– I, I haven’t made my decision yet…

Watson said sincerely:

– Time passes very quickly. You must decide as soon as possible. This is linked to your future. Don’t let your emotions get in the way. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future.

She nodded.

“I understand, Professor Watson.

He didn’t continue to persuade her. Instead, he pulled out a present from the back and handed it to her.

– Happy birthday.

Roxane was stunned.

“Professor Watson, you didn’t have to prepare a gift for me.

– You are the student I am most proud of. I hope your future is bright, Watson said with a bright smile.

– When you become famous, don’t forget your teacher.

Roxane smiles shyly.

“Don’t worry, professor. I will not forget you !

…

When she arrived at the Alvarez family home, Aunt Cecile had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.

This time, Sabrina gave her a fashionable necklace while Joel gave her money as usual.

She kindly refused her father.

– Dad, I have enough money to spend. You don’t have to give me money all the time.

-There’s nothing like having enough money to spend. You should spend as much as you can. Listen to me. I give it to you so accept it, Joel said seriously as he forced the card into his hand,

– I know that Sebastien will not treat you unfairly, but our family is quite well off. Dad can afford to support you.

She didn’t have a job. He feared that if she spent Sebastien’s money, she would not be able to stand up in the Flores family.

– I don’t spend his money. I earn money myself, explained Roxane.

Joel patted his daughter on the head and said:

– I know you are very capable, but ultimately, you are still a student now. You are already so tired of studying; you don’t have to take part-time jobs. When you are free, you should go out more with your friends. You should find a balance between study and rest.

Roxane knew she couldn’t refuse her father so she could only acquiesce.

-I understand, Dad.

Joel immediately revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

After lunch, when Sabrina sent her away, she said:

– It’s your birthday today. Did Sebastien say how he was going to celebrate it with you?

“He has work during the day, so we’re going to celebrate at night,” Roxane said. She didn’t want her mother to worry so she told a white lie. In fact, Sebastien didn’t say he would celebrate his birthday at all.

Sabrina nodded.

– It’s good.

Before she got in the car, she said to Sabrina:

-Mom, what do you think about me going to study abroad?

Sabrina’s expression immediately turns anxious.

– To go abroad? Or?

“Paris,” Roxane replied.

Unexpectedly, Sabrina did not reject Roxane. Instead, she thought about it for a moment before saying softly:

– Parents don’t want their children to be too far away from them, especially when you’re a girl. However…

She paused before continuing to say:

– Times are different now. Women are becoming more and more independent. They have their own thoughts and dreams. You should also have your own dreams. Mom and dad won’t stop you from pursuing your dreams, and you don’t have to worry about money either. Mom and Dad will definitely support you with everything we have.

Roxane’s eyes immediately filled with tears. She took the initiative to kiss her mother and said:

– Thanks Mom!

…

When she returned to the Moon Pavilion, Sebastian was not at home.

The butler took out the items Sabrina had given him from the car and asked:

– Madam, why are you back so early today?

– I don’t have classes in the afternoon, so I came back after having lunch with my parents, said Roxane. Then she couldn’t help but ask:

-Did Seb call?

The butler shook his head.

– Madam, do you need anything? Do you need me to call sir?

She shook her head before going upstairs to change. She spent the whole afternoon in the room reading about the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. When evening came, she heard a commotion downstairs. She assumed Sebastian was back so she rushed downstairs without even locking her iPad.

However, when she got downstairs, she only saw Enzo carrying Mathis into the house. Deborah walked beside him. The joy on her face disappeared immediately when she saw that Sebastian was nowhere to be found.

-Brother, why are you here?

-Why didn’t you answer the phone?

He asked putting Mathis down. He looked at her and asked:

– Old Flores hasn’t come back yet?

She shook her head before inviting them inside.

Deborah’s face was pale as she held a cake in her hand.

– I heard from Enzo that it’s your birthday today. I don’t know what to give you. Mumu chose this cake for you.

“Thank you,” Roxane said before asking the butler to take the cake to the kitchen and asking the housekeeper to make some tea.

Enzo sat down and asked impatiently:

– Didn’t Old Flores leave work early to celebrate your birthday with you?

Although she was disappointed, she didn’t show it. Instead, she defended Sebastien, saying:

– Perhaps he has important matters to attend to.

– Bullshit! Enzo said. He was one of the top executives in the company, so he knew if there was anything important or urgent that needed to be addressed in the company. He said:

– Son of a bitch! I will call him and scold him to death!

He called Sebastien, but he discovered that Sebastien’s phone was turned off. He frowned as his expression changed slightly. Then he dialed Patrice’s number. After a few moments, the call is finally connected.

– Hello, Mr. Alvarez. How can I help you?

– Where is Sebastien? Enzo asked directly.

– President Flores has something important to do at the moment. Mr. Alvarez, can you call back later?

After saying that, he didn’t give Enzo a chance to speak before quickly ending the call.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

– Whore ! What are they doing ?

He raised his hands and rubbed his temples. No matter how obtuse he was, he could always sense that something was wrong.

– What is the problem?

Roxane asked worriedly.

He came to himself and shook his head.

Deborah waved her hand and called the mischievous Mathis. She told him to sit down before saying softly:

– He’s like he’s delayed because of work. When he’s finished, he’ll definitely rush to celebrate Roxane’s birthday.

Enzo’s slender fingers played silently with his phone, and his phoenix-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed. He looked like he was lost in thought.

Roxane changed the subject and said:

– Since you’re all here, let’s have dinner together. I will cook for everyone.

Deborah politely declined the invitation.

– It’s not necessary. I only accompanied Mumu here to give you the cake.

She had already given up on marrying Sebastian, so there was no reason for her to stay any longer than necessary.

Roxane looked at Mathis and asked:

– Mumu, don’t you want to eat the fried chicken I made?

She wasn’t sure that Sebastien would come back and she didn’t want to spend her birthday alone.
