AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane didn’t seem to hear him. Instead of stopping, she quickened her pace and ran up the stairs.

Jonas’ heart continued to fall, falling into the deepest, coldest abyss, so cold that he could barely breathe.

The hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist and he whirled around to punch Diego’s face.

Diego was immediately knocked down by him.

Jonas didn’t stop there. He leaned down and tried to grab his collar…

Sebastien grabbed his arm and stopped him.

Jonas turned his head, his dark eyes full of cruelty.

– Let me go!

– Today is my children’s one-month birthday party, and…

Sebastien did not let go of his arm. Her thin lips parted slightly and he easily caught her weakness.

– Roxane doesn’t like violence.

Jonas’ heart suddenly sank, as if being dismembered by a knife. His face was pale as he shook his hand.

Diego wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his head to look at Jonas with a sneer.

– I missed her in this life, and you never had her. We’re both losers… No, you’re the real loser!

“You killed the family she cared about most. She will never forgive you…

Jonas’ face was filled with cruelty. If it hadn’t been for the children’s one-month banquet today, if it hadn’t been for the Moon Pavilion, he would have killed someone.

He would definitely kill that damn Diego.

Sebastian’s expression was dark and cold as his dark eyes scanned Diego coldly. His piercing gaze immediately silenced Diego.

-You shouldn’t have come back, and you shouldn’t have chosen to ruin my children’s one-month celebration today.

His thin lips slightly parted, his voice low and calm.

-Logan, I don’t want to see him appear alive in M City again.

In other words, unless he’s dead, Diego might forget about his return to M City.

– Yes. Logan, who was at the door, received the order and moved forward to take Diego out.

– Let me go… You bastards… You…

Before he could finish, Logan stuffed his mouth with a sock.

Jonas stood pinned to the ground, his eyes downcast. He looked lost and helpless as he muttered:

“She won’t forgive me, will she?

He had indirectly caused the death of his grandmother. She must hate him to death.

Sebastian turned around and was about to go upstairs when he stopped. He looked at him sideways, was silent for a while, and said in a lukewarm tone:

– Grandma was very important to her. You need to give it more time.

He went upstairs.

Jonas squatted down and held his head regretfully. He muttered to himself:

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…

In the bedroom.

Roxane was curled up on the sofa in a little ball.

For convenience, she had cut her hair down to her shoulders. Today, she had tied her hair into a ponytail, revealing her exquisite earlobes and beautiful neck.

Sebastien approached her and sat down. His warm palm touched his head.

– Do not be sad. He didn’t do it on purpose.

He didn’t care what Jonas did. He didn’t want to defend Jonas, but he didn’t want to see her sad.

Roxane raised her head, her eyes red like those of a rabbit, and sobbed:

– If this incident had not happened, grandmother could have… lived for a few more months.

Even if she could live another month, it would be a kind of happiness for them.

Sebastian’s warm fingers gently wiped the tears from his cheeks.

-That may be the case, but there are no ifs in this world.

What happened was what happened, and no one could change it.

Roxane lowered her head and a stream of tears ran down her face.

– I miss her so much… I always dream that I want to go home, but I can’t find my way back, despite all my efforts. I keep walking and just can’t find my way home.

Because the house with grandmother was gone.

Sebastian’s heart ached as he took her in his arms. She had never told him she had such a dream.

– Let’s go visit grandma tomorrow. She hasn’t seen Divine and Dael yet.

Roxane nodded in his arms.

Sebastian kissed the center of her head.

– After visiting grandmother, I will take you back to the country. It’s time to change the vegetables in the garden.

***

Sebastien accompanied Roxane to pay his respects to the old lady Alvarez and brought the two little guys.

It was cold in spring. Sabrina didn’t want her grandchildren to catch a cold, but Roxane insisted on taking the two children to see her grandmother.

Joel also felt it was the right thing to do, so he didn’t stop him.

Roxane crouched down in front of the tombstone and carefully wiped it. Then she prostrated herself three times before the tombstone.

Sabrina and Joel didn’t notice it, but Enzo was perfectly aware that Roxane had something in mind. He elbowed the man next to him and asked in a low voice:

– What is going on ?

Sebastien’s eyes were calm and he simply said:

– Jonas is the one who broke Diego’s legs.

Enzo’s eyes flashed and he quickly reacted by swearing in a low voice:

– Whore.

-But you can’t blame Jonas. He did what I always wanted to do.

Break Diego’s legs!

Sebastien gave him a sideways glance and said nothing.

Enzo sighed.

– You should coax her more, so that she doesn’t blame herself and take all the blame on herself.

Sebastien did not answer. He would have done it even if he hadn’t said it.

A few days after paying tribute to the old lady Alvarez, Sebastien brought Roxane and the two children home to the countryside.

Because she had to take care of the two children, Sabrina was worried and specially asked Aunt Cecile, who had worked at home for decades, to follow her to help take care of the children.

Roxane’s bad mood slowly recovered after a few days. First, it wasn’t as noisy as the big city. Second, it was too tiring to take care of the two little ones. She had no energy to think about nonsense.

Dael was better. He ate and slept, and ate after sleeping. Other than crying when he needed his diapers changed, he was very obedient most of the time.

Divine was different. The little girl was delicate and difficult to manage. It had to be worn all day, and only Sebastien and Roxane had to wear it.

Sebastien had to grow vegetables, cook and take care of the children. Roxane wanted to help him share the pressure and learn to take care of the children.

Sebastien quickly took care of Divine, put her in the cradle and went to see Roxane.

– Are you fine?

Roxane shook her head and looked guilty.

– I’m sorry. I seem to be very useless.

– You don’t need to do that. Sebastien gave him a glass of water to gargle his mouth. I will take care of them.

After Roxane finished rinsing her mouth, she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.

– No, I am their mother. I have to learn to take care of them. Give me a little more time. I will definitely get used to it.

Sebastien no longer tried to persuade or discourage her.

– OK, I think you will be a good mother.

Roxane nodded and reached out to hug him, hoping to draw some strength from him.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sebastian lowered his head and wanted to breathe in her scent, but Divine, who was left in the cradle, cried bitterly.

Sebastien and Roxane looked at each other and sighed in unison.
