AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane shook her head.

– He had a younger sister, Lorraine Flores.

When Vanessa mentioned Lorraine, the light in her eyes dimmed, and her curled eyelashes cast a green shadow in her eyes.

– When she was three years old, she fell from a third-story window and disappeared. Since then, Mylene has gone crazy. She kept saying that it was Sebastien who pushed Lorraine down. She had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. A good house was destroyed by her.

Roxane frowned, her little face full of confusion.

– Why would she think that it was Mr. Seb who pushed her?

Vanessa looked up and looked at her. Her red lips parted slightly, and a white mist accompanied by a warm and cold voice lingered.

– At that time, there was only dark white upstairs.

Roxane lost her appetite instantly. She gripped her chopsticks tightly and looked down.

– So, she divorced and no longer wanted Mr. Seb?

– Ha.

Vanessa sneered and scoffed,

– It would be great if that was all.

Roxane raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

-What else did she do?

-At that time, my brother was busy with company affairs and had no time to take care of the family. This female dog took advantage of my brother’s absence to hit and scold Sebastien. She burned him with a cigarette and locked him in the basement. She didn’t give him any food or water. In the middle of winter, she punished him to stand in the pool and did not allow him to climb in.

-If it weren’t for the fact that Sebastian passed out from the cold and the servants couldn’t bear to watch over him and sent him to the hospital, my brother wouldn’t even know what kind of life led Sebastien home.

Roxane’s black and white pupils continued to expand. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

How could Mylene treat Mr. Seb like that?

– My brother had a big argument with her and she promised that she would never hurt Sebastien again. My brother chose to believe her once again…

The light in Vanessa’s eyes was getting colder and colder, even smoke couldn’t block it.

– But a dog is a dog, and he can’t change his habit of eating shit. In order not to leave obvious scars on Sebastian’s body, she used needles to prick Sebastian’s arms, calves and head…This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

– He was afraid of women, you know that, don’t you? It’s Mylene’s masterpiece. A good child was almost tortured into a madman by her.

Roxane’s throat seemed blocked by something. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn’t say a word. Her eyes were red and her thin, thick eyelashes trembled violently.

– Later, my brother discovered that something was wrong with Sebastien and knew what Mylene had done. He didn’t allow her to approach Sebastien again. Who knew that the slut had an affair with Seraphin Long even before divorcing and even being pregnant with his child…

– Even if my brother wanted to save face, he couldn’t hit a pregnant woman.

Vanessa snickered.

– I couldn’t stand it, so I beat her and sent her to the hospital. She almost had a miscarriage!

-If I had known she wouldn’t change after so many years, I would have killed her back then. She should have come out now.

With a flick of his finger, the ashes fell, just like the ashes of Sebastian’s heavy past, which had long been left behind with time.

No one knew what he had gone through when he was still a child. No one would know how many scars there were in his heart over the years, whether they had healed or bled.

Vanessa stubbed out the cigarette butt on a clean plate and looked at Roxane, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit.

– I’m telling you this because I know the taciturn person certainly won’t tell you, but you’re his wife and you need to know his past. Second, I wanted to let you know that you don’t have to be polite when you meet this woman in the future. She is not a good person and she does not deserve your respect as a mother-in-law!

Roxane lowered her head and said nothing. The mist in his eyes finally condensed into beads and fell into the bowl one by one.

She raised her hand to support her forehead, trying to block her view and not see her crying.

But when she thought about what Sebastian had been through, her tears were like a broken faucet that couldn’t be stopped.

Her thin shoulders shook violently as she sobbed.

Sebastien pushed the door to the private room and his eyes instinctively fell on Roxane. He saw the tears on her cheeks. Her face was red from crying and she was panting as if she was about to suffocate.

“Is that how you take care of her?” His face darkened and he quickly walked towards Roxane. His dark eyes were filled with worry and heartache.

Vanessa’s expression was indifferent as she picked up her bag and said:

– I gave it back to you. I’m tired and I’m going back to rest.

After that, she left without even looking at Sebastien.

He wasn’t in the mood to chat with her at the moment. His warm palm gently caressed Roxane’s head and coaxed in a low voice,

– What’s wrong? Did my aunt harass you? tell me, I’m going to take revenge on her!

Roxane shook her head, tears falling from her eyes.

She turned around and hugged him, crying even more sadly. She was sobbing and out of breath.

Sebastien gently stroked her back, and something flashed in her deep eyes under her thick lashes. Her thin lips parted slightly.

-Okay, stop crying. I am fine now.

Even if she didn’t say anything, he knew that Vanessa must have told him about him and Mylene.

Roxane’s slender hands were wrapped firmly around his neck. His hoarse voice stuttered:

-I… I hate the way she… I hate her to death…

It took him a lot of effort to finish a sentence.

Sebastian turned his head, his warm skin pressed against his tear-stained cheeks. His voice was low and hoarse as he gently cuddled her,

– It’s good. It’s all in the past. Look at me. I am fine now.

He took her hand and placed it on his cheek, making her feel the temperature of his body and the contour of his face.

Roxane’s eyes were red from crying and the tips of her fingers that touched her skin were trembling.

When she thought of all the things Mylene had done to her, her heart felt as if she had been crushed. Her liver and intestines were broken and not a single part of her was intact.

How could there be such a mother?

She was not worthy of being a mother!

Her tears fell like rain and she couldn’t stop them.

Sebastien didn’t expect to make her cry even harder. He gently wiped the tears from her face with his fingers.

– Mrs. Flores, if you continue to cry, my heart will break… Stop crying, okay?

The last sentence was full of love.

Roxane couldn’t control her tears and let them wet her cheeks again and again.

Her soft, boneless hands cupped his face, and she raised her head to place her watery lips on his forehead.

Sebastien was stunned.

Roxane’s lips landed between her eyebrows again.

His eyes, his nose, and finally his lips…

Each stroke was filled with sorrow and love.

This man, who had experienced countless trials in his childhood, was the love of his life.

– Mr. Seb, I love you.

With tears streaming down her face, her voice was hoarse from crying, but it was extremely soft when it fell on Sebastian’s ears.

– I will love you more than anyone in the world. My heart will not move and my love will never change.

Sebastian’s stunned expression slowly recovered, and the light in his eyes gradually became hot and intense, like syrup that could not melt. His fingers gently and repeatedly stroked her cheek.

– So, I will be in your charge from now on, Mrs. Flores.

Roxane’s eyes were filled with tears. Before she could say anything, Sebastian lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

He searched gently and gave in.
