AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

At seven o’clock in the evening, Sebastien and Roxane had dinner. The heavy rain outside showed no signs of stopping.

After Sebastian asked the servant to bring a plate of fruit, Ronald entered with Barbara.

It was raining heavily. Although they were both holding umbrellas, their clothes were still wet. Because they had stood for a long time without eating, their faces were pale and haggard, and they could not hide the fatigue between their eyebrows.

Sebastien held a plate of fruit and sent the fruit with a golden fork to Roxane’s lips.

Ronald’s gaze fell first on Roxane, then on Sebastien.

He had met Sebastien once at a business cocktail a few years ago. Because the relationship between the two families was awkward, he did not go up to greet this young man at that time.

At this time, the Flores Corporation was just recovering from its near-death state. Although the young leaders had a sense of alienation, they were still a bit childish compared to those cunning old foxes who were involved in the business world.

Now, besides the coldness between his eyebrows, there was also a suppressed ambition and strength.

Barbara watched Roxane sit down next to Sebastien like a little bird, and a hint of disdain crossed her eyes, but no one noticed it.

Ronald had been complimented by people for most of his life, but now he had to bow his head to a junior.

– President Flores, it’s been a long time.

Sebastien’s handsome features were calm. He didn’t even look at her and continued to feed Roxane fruit.

-Are oranges sweet?

Roxane nodded.

– It’s very sweet.

The smile on Ronald’s face froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and greeted Roxane.

– You must be Mrs. Flores. You are a match made in heaven with President Flores. You two are a perfect match.

Roxane raised her head and looked at the man with a hunched back in front of her. He was a little fat, his eyes were turbid and deep, and his face was full of years of hardship.

Sebastien followed his gaze and looked at Ronald. He asked calmly:

-President Long, what’s the matter?

Seeing that he finally reacted, Ronald secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said:

– Previously, my daughter was young and ignorant and offended by President Flores. I specially brought her here today to apologize to you. I also have a little gift for you, I hope President Flores won’t mind.

He placed the box he was carrying on the coffee table.

Roxane glanced at the packaging. It appeared to be tea leaves. This apology gift seemed a little unsightly!

Sebastien looked at him indifferently and said nothing. He didn’t even look at the tea leaves he had placed on the table.

Ronald quickly gave Barbara a warning look.

She wasn’t convinced, but she had no choice but to bow her head and apologize.

– President Flores, I was bewitched by my second aunt and I did something stupid. I know I was wrong. Be magnanimous and don’t stoop to my level!

Roxane frowned. She really apologized!

She tilted her head and looked at the man next to her in confusion. How did he guess so accurately?

Sebastian put down the fruit plate, wiped his hands with a damp tissue, and said casually:

– Is it true?

– Yeah!

Ronald quickly echoed,

– You know my second sister-in-law. She has a strong personality. That’s why my younger brother and daughter were enchanted by it! I’ve already scolded her severely, so do you think we can just put an end to this matter?

They were determined to place all the blame on Mylene.

It was because Mylene was his biological mother!

-I have been in poor health recently, so I turned the company’s affairs over to President Grant to take care of. President Long seems to have found the wrong person.

Sebastien’s thick white eyelashes were clear.

They could blame Mylene, but he could also blame Raoul.

The moment Ronald heard his words, he knew his apology was useless. Thinking of his life’s work, he suppressed the humiliation in his heart and asked her with his old face.

– President Flores, we are both open people. I understand that you are angry about this, but the Vitococ group is not my own creation. This concerns many other people! They are all innocent. As long as it calms you down, I’ll do anything!

Every word he said was sincere and reasonable, and he only hoped that Sebastian would be magnanimous and let him go.

Roxane also understood what he meant. If the Vitococ group had really disappeared, many people would be made redundant.

Her beautiful little hand gently pulled on Sebastien’s white sleeve.

Don’t involve innocent people in Mylene and Barbara’s mistakes.

Sebastian’s large, warm palm wrapped around her small, soft, boneless hand. Her thin lips parted slightly.

– I have a certain friendship with President Patel of Town H. Mrs. Patel died many years ago and President Patel never remarried. Today I will be the elder of the moon and I will lead this red string, what do you think?

Barbara was stunned, and her eyes suddenly became cold.

The President Patel he was talking about was a bald uncle in his forties. He was a nouveau riche who had opened a factory and started his business. He was now involved in real estate, but he was still a nouveau riche in essence. He did not remarry after his wife’s death, but his private life was always impure. He was famous in City H for being a lecherous old man.

Ronald was also stunned. His eyes were filled with confusion and hesitation.

– President Flores, this President Patel…

Before he could finish, Sebastian looked at him coldly.

“What’s wrong, President Long?

Ronald met Sebastian’s eagle eyes and a shiver ran down his spine. He seemed to understand the meaning in Sebastian’s eyes and swallowed the words stuck in his throat. With great difficulty, he said,

– So, I will have to thank President Flores for his good intentions.

Barbara held her breath and looked at Ronald in disbelief.

– dad, you…

She was about to open her mouth when Ronald interrupted her harshly.

– Shut up! Hurry up and thank President Flores!

Barbara’s pupils continued to dilate and disbelief showed on her face. She was so angry that her chest was rising and falling.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Sebastien didn’t seem to notice Barbara’s anger. His thin lips moved slightly and his voice was extremely calm.

– The wedding date has been set. Don’t forget to inform me. I will definitely send a generous gift.

Ronald forced a smile and nodded.

– Okay, I will definitely invite President Flores to the wedding!

– President Long, you must be tired after a long day. Go back and rest early.

Sebastien’s indifferent voice ordered him to leave.

– I won’t bother President Flores then. Mrs. Flores, please rest.

Ronald dragged Barbara away tactfully.

Roxane looked incredulous.

– he… He agreed to marry his daughter to this President Patel? What kind of person was President Patel? Are you two on good terms?

It is not fair. If they had a good relationship, why would he introduce such a vicious person like Barbara?

– I don’t know.

Sebastien leaned back, no longer as cold as before, and his gaze fell on her little face with a little gentleness.

– I just learned that he is old and lecherous, and that he has been drooling over the daughter of the Long family for a long time.
