AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After a while, the woman, who had been standing at the entrance to the cafe all this time, came in and said with a helpless smile:

-The second aunt is just worried that you like a married woman. Why do you have to make such a fuss?

Jonas narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

– Barbara, it was you who told my mother!

Barbara sat on Mylene’s seat and raised her head to face her.

– Cousin, it’s for your own good. It’s not like you don’t know about second aunt’s taboos. Your entanglement with this Roxane Alvarez touches the second aunt’s sore spot.

Jonas scoffed disdainfully, looking at his cousin.

Since they were young, their relationship was neither good nor bad. Occasionally they bickered, but that was about it.

Barbara didn’t care about Jonas’ attitude. She stood up and patted his arm, saying:

– Cousin, if you love this Miss Alvarez so much, why don’t you cooperate with me?

Jonas frowned. His eyes were extremely cold as he said:

– Have you taken a liking to this person?

He knew his cousin wasn’t a nice person. She wouldn’t help him without reason.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Barbara’s smile froze and she didn’t respond.

Jonas sneered and said mockingly:

– Ha! Not to mention that Sebastien doesn’t love you, but my mother will never agree either.

“She will agree,” said Barbara. She sat down and tapped her fingers on the table, smiling and saying:

-The second uncle embezzled money from the company, so my father is very unhappy. Otherwise, why do you think the second aunt is so eager for you to return to the company?

Although the Vitococ Group was owned by Seraphin Long and Ronald Long, Seraphin Long’s ability was lacking, so Ronald Long was in charge of the company. Over the past few years, Seraph Long had become increasingly confused. Not only did he accept bribes, but he also began embezzling money from the company, causing the company to lose a lot of money. Although they were biological brothers, it was natural that Ronald Long became unhappy with his brother who could do nothing right.

Jonas knew his father was useless, but he didn’t expect his father to be so confused.

Barbara laughed and said:

– Jonas, working together is a win-win situation for both of us. We will both get what we want.

Barbara didn’t care about the consequences. She just knew she had to get what she wanted. This had always been the case since she was young.

Jonas looked at her with disdain.

-I am different from you. Also…

He stopped before warning:

– You better not play with Roxane. Otherwise, I won’t let you go.

He knew better than anyone how mean his cousin was. In the past, when a parent had accidentally stepped on her shoe, she had smiled and said everything was fine in front of everyone. However, when no one was there, she had grabbed the other party’s hair and pressed the other party’s head down, demanding that the other party lick her shoe clean.

Barbara’s wickedness was no secret in the Long family. However, since she was Ronald Long’s daughter, no one dared to criticize or offend her. After all, Ronald Long valued his only daughter more than his own life.

Barbara’s eyes were dark as she smiled contemptuously. She had expected that Jonas would not agree to cooperate with her. However, it didn’t matter since she still had a trump card in her hand.

…

Sebastien worked until late at night. When he returned, he saw his wife, whom he had not seen all day, sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She was eating fries and looking angry at the same time.

Sebastien took off his coat and handed it to the butler. His voice was filled with tenderness as he asked:

-Who made Madame Flores angry?

Roxane turned to look at him. She quickly jumped up and ran towards him.

Sebastian’s body was cold considering he had just arrived from outside. Therefore, he didn’t want to hug her yet. However, before he could react, she had already rushed into his arms. Fearing that she would fall, he could only reach out to hold her.

– Pay attention.

Roxane wrapped her arms around his neck and shouted with a vexed expression on her face:

– Seb…

Sebastian felt like his heart was going to melt when she called him. He carried her to the sofa and asked:

– What’s wrong?

The attendants who saw this lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
