AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

They politely declined the invitation to stay for dinner and returned to their respective hotels. Madison and Hayden left the country on a private jet.

On the plane, Hayden asked Madison:

-What did you do with Divine upstairs?

Madison’s eyes flickered as she pretended to be calm.

– I did not do anything.

Hayden lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

-Little girl, are you still trying to lie to me?

She had never liked children, so naturally she had her reasons for staying upstairs for so long.

“You’re so boring,” Madison pouted. I can’t lie to you.

She still hasn’t answered his question.

Hayden continued to speculate:

– Is she like you?!

Madison neither admitted nor denied it. She simply said:

– She’s just an ordinary little girl. She will grow up healthy and happy. She will be the happiest girl in M City and will not experience what Roxane went through.

Hayden was silent for a few seconds and touched her head.

“She’s lucky to have met you.

“I’m lucky to have met you,” Madison said, giving him a sideways glance.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Their hands were clasped so tightly that there was no space between them. No force in the world could separate them.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

***

The Four Seasons passed and in the blink of an eye, Divine and Dael were already in elementary school. The two were not only in the same class but also in the same seat.

Only Dael enrolled in extracurricular classes and went to take LEGO classes after school. Divine, who was not interested in LEGO, signed up for dance classes at school.

Roxane went to get Dael, then Divine.

The car stopped at the school gate and Roxane asked Dael to wait for her in the car. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Sebastien standing at the school gate and taking Divine from the hands of a young woman.

The woman’s face was both strange and familiar.

Roxane was stunned for a moment, but she couldn’t help but laugh when she reacted.

So it was like this…

She had been afraid that something would happen to her and that she would leave them. She didn’t expect it to be a misunderstanding.

Sebastien approached with Divine in his arms. When he saw her smile, he asked:

-What are you laughing at?

Roxane didn’t answer, but looked at the little girl in her arms.

– Divine, you are already so big. Why do you still let people carry you?

– I sprained my foot, it hurts… she pouted and said in an aggrieved tone.

It was only then that Roxane noticed that she wasn’t wearing a shoe on her right foot. Her sock was hanging off, revealing a small part of her red ankle.

-Is it serious? Roxane asked questions about Sebastien.

Sebastien said in a warm voice:

– The teacher said she had seen the school doctor. It’s not serious. She will be fine after two days of rest.

Roxane’s heart was finally at ease. She looked at the teacher at the school gate.

-Is it new?

Sebastian placed Divine in the car and sat with her.

– Yes, the former dance teacher resigned.

Roxane smiled and said nothing. She let him hold her hand and walk to another car.

Logan left with Divine and Dael.

Divine was in a bad mood.

– Mom and Dad are mean. My legs are twisted. They did not accompany me and went out secretly.

It was Mathis who told him that they were a couple because everyone said his parents were still a couple even after so many years of marriage.

Dael was focused on playing with the Rubik’s Cube and wasn’t paying attention to what she was saying.

Divine immediately felt even more wronged and said pitifully:

– Brother, my foot hurts…

Dael came to his senses and put the Rubik’s Cube aside. His gaze fell on her ankle and he touched her head.

– It’s okay, it won’t hurt anymore.

After saying this, he took out the cheese stick, which was given to him by the teacher for his excellent performance in class today, from his pocket and handed it to her. He even tore it up, thoughtfully.

Divine took the cheese stick and ate it happily, and the grievance she had just had was instantly swept away.

Dael could once again concentrate on assembling the Rubik’s Cube.

Sebastien held Roxane’s hand and got into the car, then asked the driver to lift the partition.

– Are you very interested in the new dance teacher?

Roxane still wanted to deceive him, but when she met his deep, penetrating eyes, she sighed helplessly.

“I really can’t hide anything from you.

– There was a sense of relief in your eyes just now. Sebastien played with his fingertips. What had you dreamed of before?

Roxane had not hidden it from him.

– Before leaving abroad, I dreamed that you took Divine in the professor’s arms. I thought…

She wanted to say something but stopped, not saying the rest of her words.

Even if she didn’t say it, Sebastien knew what it was.

-Did you think I loved someone else after you died?

Roxane pursed her lips and revealed an innocent and flirtatious smile.

Who asked him to smile at him in his dream? it was hard not to think too much.

Sebastian reached out and pinched her face. His low, hoarse voice was angry as he said:

-It seems that my love for you is not deep enough. That’s why you don’t trust me.

– No, uh…

Before she could finish her words, Sebastian had already lowered his head and caught her lips.

All the arguing words were pushed back into his stomach.

Their lips touched, their breaths mixed, and their hearts were in disorder.

As the isolation panel had been lifted a long time ago, Roxane didn’t have to worry about anything and first cajoled Sebastien.

She got up and sat on him, holding his face and pressing her lips to his, her voice not clear.
