AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Everyone ate, drank and chatted until after 9 p. m.

Joel and Sabrina were tired so they wanted to leave.

Since Enzo wasn’t drinking, he offered to send them away.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Joel only scoffed but didn’t refuse.

Mathis was tired after playing all day and had fallen asleep on the couch.

Fernand wrapped Mathis in his suit jacket before taking him away.

Nadia had drunk red wine earlier.

Quentin was worried so he wanted to send her away.

She refused decisively.

– I called a designated driver.

Quentin’s eyes rested on Nadia’s graceful figure. He was really worried about letting a stranger send her away. He gritted his teeth and said:

– GOOD. I will come with you.

Before she could scold him for being crazy, the car arrived.

Quentin didn’t give him a chance to protest and quickly sat in the passenger seat.

-…

“Forget it. Let him do what he wants…”

She got in the car and didn’t speak to Quentin. She only leaned her head against the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Quentin glanced at the rearview mirror. Her exquisite facial features could only be vaguely seen under the dim lights. She had embarrassed him today in front of everyone. However, not only was he not angry, but he even felt worried about her.

He rubbed his temples, wondering if he had gone crazy.

…

After everyone left, the helpers started cleaning up.

Sebastien stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked at the candles that Roxane had placed there. He didn’t know when they were lit, but he felt incomparably warm and peaceful.

Roxane moved to stand next to him. She clasped her hands on her back and playfully asked:

– Guess what gift I prepared for you?

Sebastien looked at Roxane and asked teasingly:

– A striptease?

Roxane said with a hint of reproach:

– Be serious.

Sebastien shook his head.

-So I really don’t know.

– Ta-da! She brought the gift she had meticulously prepared.

– Scent?

He raised an eyebrow.

Roxane nodded.

– This is not an ordinary perfume. I did it personally. It is the only bottle in the world.

Realization immediately dawned on Sebastien.

– Did you learn it from Nadia?

-Who cares who I learned it from? Anyway, I did it myself, Roxane said, holding his hand and spraying the perfume on his wrist. Then she asked:

– Do you think it smells good?

Sebastien lowered his head and sniffed her wrist. The top note was light, the middle note slightly sweet and the base note woody. He said:

– It smells quite similar to my body wash.

– I made it from your body wash. I thought you must like the smell, Roxane explained. He must have been using it for so long that the woody scent had already become a part of him.

Sebastien gently caressed her face and said:

– My little treasure is the best.

– Do you like to?

Roxane asked impatiently.

Sebastian nodded.

– I like it.

He loved everything she gave him.

Roxane smiled happily.

– It’s good that you like it. I want you to have a lively birthday. You have your best friends, your family and the person you love the most…

She said the last words with a soft voice and a shy expression on her face.

Sebastien had been too alone. It was like she was the only one in his life.

His heart softened and his eyes shone brightly. He reached out his hand and hugged her tightly. It turned out that she had always understood her. She understood his loneliness when no one else cared.

“Thank you, Madame Flores,” Sebastien said before holding the back of her head and kissing the side of her face. Thanks to her, he had family, friends and even a house.

Joel and Sabrina didn’t say much this evening, but their presence was enough for him to feel the warmth of the family.

Roxane hugged him and said softly:

– My family is your family. They will love you and treat you like me.

Sebastien smiled as he tightened his grip around her. In fact, all that mattered to him was that she loved him.

Roxane hugged him for a moment before leaving him.

– It’s time for me to cook longevity noodles.

Sebastian continued to hug her, reluctant to let go. He said in a slightly hoarse voice:

– There is no need to cook longevity noodles.

– Eh?

Before she could react, Sebastian held her face and lowered his head to kiss her.

-You taste even better than longevity noodles.

-…
