AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Jessica pressed the button on the iPad, she saw the wallpaper. It was an illustration of a man applying medicine to a woman. Although it was just an illustration, she identified the people in the drawing at a glance. Then she said:

-Little girl, do you still want to pretend?

Roxane’s eyes were filled with guilt as she picked up her iPad and locked it. Then, she looked at Jessica with a pout.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

-Jessi…

Jessica reached out and touched Roxane’s cheek, saying:

-And if you love Sebastien? What are you ashamed of?

Roxane was lying on her desk as she looked away. Her mood was a little low when she said

– Jessi, you don’t understand…

Jessica was also lying on the desk before looking at Roxane and saying patiently:

-So, tell me about that…

Roxane pursed her lips before saying:

-Jessi, I don’t know when it started. When I realized it, it was already too late. I shouldn’t like him…

If she hadn’t had that dream on the plane, she wouldn’t have discovered that her feelings for Sebastian had changed. When she was with Diego in the past, she had never had such a dream.

– For what?

Jessica asked with a slight frown on her face.

– I just canceled my marriage to Diego not too long ago. How could I love another person so quickly? When did I become so fickle-minded? She said darkly.

-What time are we now? You fell in love with Sebastien after canceling your marriage to Diego. It’s not like you cheated on Diego or changed your mind while you were with him. There’s nothing to be upset about.

Then, she took a deep breath before continuing to say:

– In addition, we are talking about Sebastien Flores. He is rich and handsome! It’s normal that you fell in love with him. Other people would have fallen in love with him a long time ago!

Roxane asked curiously:

– So, do you like Sebastien?

Jessica choked. Then she rolled her eyes and said:

– I am not sick. Why would I want my best friend’s husband? Furthermore, Sebastien’s eyes are like a knife. They look like they can cut people. I can not support it.

Roxane’s cheeks heated up when she heard the word “husband.” Then, she said with a touch of disappointment:

– He’s not my husband. You know marriage is fake.

Then, she said to herself: “Sebastien’s eyes are not like a knife. They are clearly very kind…”

– Well, with the marriage certificate, it’s real.

Roxane:

-…

Jessica nudged Roxane and said encouragingly

– Do not think too much. Since you already have the marriage certificate, you can fake it until it becomes real.

Roxane tilted her head and asked skeptically:

– How to fake it until it makes it real?

– Chase him! Jessica said enthusiastically:

– It’s good that women take the initiative. Although Sebastian seems cold and unapproachable on the surface, I have a feeling it won’t be difficult for you to pursue him.

Roxane felt like Jessica’s words were unreliable.

– Let me think about it again.

-What should we think about?

– He’s the president of the Flores group. His family is much richer than mine. My father is just the boss of an ordinary company. If it weren’t for my brother who worked for Flores Corporation, I might not have any intersection with him in this life.

It could be said that the Alvarez family and the Rios family have similar statuses; they were both considered upper-class families. However, there was a world of difference between the Flores family and the Alvarez and Rios families. The difference between Roxane and Sebastien was like the difference between heaven and earth.

She loved Sebastien, but she wondered if Sebastien would love her. If he knew her feelings, what would he think of her? Would he feel like she was fickle? Or would he think she was greedy for his money and status?

Roxane sighed. In the past, when she loved Diego, she didn’t have so many questions.

Jessica suddenly hit the desk, scaring Roxane. Then she said:

– Let’s not think so much. Let’s have a fondue.

-Hah?

She was stunned by the sudden change of subject.

Jessica lowered her head to look at Roxane and said, full of conviction:

– There’s nothing fondue can’t solve! If that doesn’t work, having hotpot twice will definitely fix the problem.

Roxane was amused. Jessica had managed to cheer him up.

– Let’s go, let’s go! Don’t I still owe you a meal? Jessica said as she took Roxane out of the classroom:

– I will book a private room. Let’s also order a king crab! We must celebrate.

– Celebrate what?

She looked at Jessica suspiciously.

– Celebrate your love for Sebastien Flores! Celebrate your level rise by choosing a partner! We do not care? Let’s just celebrate.

Roxane:

-…

-Actually, you’re just looking for an excuse to have a big meal, aren’t you?

…

Since their return from Ireland, Roxane and Sebastien have not seen each other much.

After realizing her feelings for Sebastien, she didn’t know how to face him. Moreover, every time she saw him, she remembered her spring dream which made her cheeks blush and her heart race.

Sebastien was intelligent. How could he not know that Roxane was deliberately avoiding him? She found all kinds of excuses not to make breakfast, leave the house early and come back late. He had thought about it carefully, but he couldn’t figure out when or how he had made her angry. He had been busy with work for the past two days, so he decided to put the matter aside for the moment. He knew he couldn’t be too anxious. Otherwise, he might scare her away.
