AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Everyone had left and Sebastien’s posture softened. He relaxed and leaned back, a sneer in his eyes.

– No matter how sharp a sword is, you don’t have to worry as long as you know how to make it dull.

When Fernand heard him say this, he knew he definitely had a plan. He stood up and said:

-If so, then I wish you good luck.

He turned around and took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

– I heard Vanessa is back. She brought Roxane to beat Mylene this morning.

Sebastien looked up at him, not understanding what he was saying. His thin lips were pursed in a straight line and he did not speak.

Something flashed in Fernand’s eyes, and he said with a slight smile,Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

– her eyes were red when she came back. It’s obvious she cried. She wouldn’t have cried from having beaten Mylene to vent her anger, but her eyes were swollen. It’s obvious that Vanessa told him everything about the past.

Sebastian’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed. His slender fingers rubbed the space between his eyebrows and he warned in a low voice:

– Fernand.

His reaction made Fernand more convinced of his guess.

-You went to such a big circle just to let her know these things and make her feel bad for you?

Sebastien lowered his hand, knowing he couldn’t hide it from her, and simply said:

– His teacher recommended that he study abroad.

Fernand was slightly surprised.

– You don’t want her to leave?

Sebastien glanced at him and didn’t speak.

“Why don’t you just tell him?” asked Fernand.

Sebastian’s thick, fan-shaped eyelashes trembled slightly and his tightly pursed lips loosened.

– I don’t want to disappoint her.

In the little girl’s heart, Sebastien was a warm, kind and upright gentleman, a gentle and considerate existence. However, in reality, he was a selfish, cold, stubborn and twisted person.

If she found out that he wasn’t as good as she had imagined, she would be very disappointed.

Fernand was silent for a moment, then asked again:

– Is it worth it ?

Was it really worth putting in so much effort and planning for a woman?

Sebastien raised his head and looked at him. Her thin lips parted slightly.

– when you meet him, you can ask me if it’s worth it.

Fernand’s thoughts had been to take over the Lambert family for the rest of his life. For him, women were the spice of life and beautiful clothes. He would love and cherish them for a while, but he would never spend too much time and energy on one item of clothing.

If the investment was too large, the return would be too low, which was not in line with his investment philosophy.

– Looks like I won’t get a chance to ask.

Fernand’s thin lips curled slightly and he left with a smile.

***

Sebastien went upstairs and pushed the door open to see Roxane sitting in front of the makeup mirror, using skin care products.

He walked over and took the eye cream from her hand.

– I will help you.

She glanced at the bandage on her wrist.

– It’s not necessary. You will not be …

-I’ve seen you use it several times. In theory, you have to know how to use it.

He opened the eye cream, scooped out a soybean-sized cream, melted it with his fingertips, and then gently massaged his eyes.

Roxane opened her eyes. His black and white pupils were as clear as if they had been washed with water, without a speck of dust.

– Why do you suddenly want to help me with my skincare?

– Mme Flores has shed too many tears for me today.

He melted the face cream with the heat of his palm and said:

– My heart hurts for you and I want to treat you better.

Roxane pursed her pink lips and wrapped her arms around his firm waist. His voice was soft and tender.

“I’ll be good to you too. Very very good.

Sebastien’s eyes shone with a smile. He lifted her chin with his fingertips and pressed his palm to her face, squeezing it slowly…

– Mrs. Flores, you must keep your word. If you lie, your nose will grow.

He lowered his head and stared at her with his black eyes as bright as the stars.

– I always keep my word!

She blinked.

-When have I ever lied to you?

-Then you must remember what you said today.

He lowered his head further and his lips pressed against hers.

-You must always be good to me and stay by my side. We will never, ever be apart.

Roxane closed her eyes shyly and responded with a soft

– Yes.

Sebastian’s large palm wrapped around her slim waist and carried her to the dressing table to deepen the kiss.

Roxane gripped her clothes tightly with both hands and said with concern:

– Your hand…

The man’s lips were close to his ear, and he said in a low, hoarse voice:

– It’s a little painful, so… You can do it yourself.

Roxane was speechless.
