AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

A knocking sound woke Roxane. She opened her eyes and a look of fear appeared on her face.

Logan, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to look at her and asked with concern:

– Madam, are you okay?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She slowly came to her senses and shook her head. At the same time, she heard someone calling her name.

– Roxi you…

She turned to the side and saw Jessica, who was wearing her home clothes.

She had no makeup on and her hair was tied in a bun. She looked frail and a worried expression could be seen on her face as she looked at Roxane.

She immediately got out of the car.

Jessica asked hoarsely when she saw that Roxane didn’t look well,

-I called you for a long time. When I got out, I saw that you hadn’t gotten out of the car for a long time. Are you OK?

She nodded.

– I’m doing well. I just fell asleep.

– Let’s go in. It’s cold outside, Jessica said before holding Roxane’s hand and pulling her into the house.

Logan took the things Roxane had bought out of the back of the car and brought them into the house before tactfully waiting outside.

The huge villa was empty and silent. No matter how beautiful it was, it couldn’t hide the loneliness.

Roxane saw the villa empty and knew that Jessica was home alone again.

– Uncle and aunt are not at home?

She lay down weakly on the sofa and said casually as if she was used to it:

– It would be strange if they were at home.

Jessica’s parents were always busy with work or traveling abroad. It was as if they had long forgotten their daughter.

Roxane walked to the side and sat down before touching Jessica’s forehead.

– You don’t have a fever, do you?

Jessica replied in a slightly nasal voice:

– No. I just have a cold. I’ll be fine in two days.

– I brought medicine. I’ll cook for you after that.

-I want to eat grilled lamb chop, spicy chicken, sour soup and beef, Jessica said. Maybe it was the cold, she wanted to eat something with a strong taste.

Roxane shook her head and said in a soft but firm voice:

– No I can not. You are sick so you should only eat porridge.

Jessica, who had just sat down, lay back down and said helplessly:

-Then you might as well let me starve.

“I’ll make them for you when you get over your cold,” Roxane said with a smile, trying to comfort Jessica.

“Okay,” Jessica said reluctantly.

Roxane prepared some grated vegetable porridge and fried two plates of vegetables. After Jessica finished eating, she prepared to clean the dishes.

However, she held Roxane’s hand and stopped her.

– Leave him. The cleaner will clean it when he comes tomorrow.

Roxane didn’t insist. She poured a glass of water so Jessica could take her medicine before telling Jessica what happened with Sebastian.

She was surprised, but it didn’t take long for happiness to replace her surprise. She toasted Roxane with the glass of water and said:

– Congratulations ! You have successfully eliminated Sebastien, the most mysterious and eligible bachelor in M City.

“I haven’t shot him yet,” Roxane said with a sheepish smile.

“He’s already agreed to let you pursue him. He must be interested in you! She said excitedly as she pushed Roxane’s shoulder. She looked so happy it was like she was the one in a committed relationship. She said :

– I knew my intuition was right! The first time I saw you two standing together, I knew you would definitely be together!

Roxane smiled weakly.

– THANKS! I count on your blessings!

– I want to kill Sebastien as soon as possible!

– Please! Jessica said.

At that moment, she remembered that she and Sebastian had left early last night. She wondered what happened to her brother and Jessica, so she asked:

-Did you argue with my brother again last night?
