AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane and her classmates finally arrived in the ancient city at sunset.

Since it’s not a famous historical site or peak tourist season, there weren’t many tourists in town. Most stores were also closed.

Professor Watson had booked a small hotel in town. The rooms were small and the facilities were not very good. However, it was still acceptable to stay there for a few days.

The girls in the class had already determined their roommates in advance. As Roxane wasn’t very close to her classmates, she ended up with a small single room in the corner.

When Professor Watson discovered this, he said with concern:

– Why not change a room into a room for three people?

Roxane quickly said:

– It’s not necessary. My sleeping habits aren’t very good so it’s better for me to sleep alone.

She knew she was quite introverted, and she didn’t want to force herself into a small circle that didn’t belong to her.

“So don’t forget to call me if you need anything,” Professor Watson said.

She nodded and dragged her suitcase into the small room at the end of the second floor.

After a brief tidying up, everyone went down to dinner together. Everyone was especially tired after traveling for half a day.

Professor Watson booked a private room in the nearby restaurant, and after a simple meal, he told everyone to return to their rooms and rest early.

As there was no kettle in the hotel room, they could only get water from reception.

Roxane held the red hot water bottle as she opened the door to her room. After that, his phone started to vibrate.

After putting down the hot water bottle, she took out her phone. When she saw the words “Benefactor Flores” on her phone, a smile immediately bloomed on her face.

– Good morning?

Sebastien’s low, hoarse voice rang out on the other end of the line.

– Are you at the hotel now?

– Yes. I have just finished dinner. Have you eaten? said Roxane, sitting on the edge of the bed. She turned to look out the small window. Her heart suddenly felt empty, and she was filled with the longing to see him right now.

“I haven’t left work yet,” Sebastien replied.

– Have you had a lot of work recently? No matter how busy you are with work, you must remember to eat. Didn’t Assistant Pei prepare something for you?

She asked. She remembered that he had come back very late recently.

“I’ll eat later,” said Sebastien. Then he changed the subject and asked:

– How is the hotel?

– Uh…

She hesitated briefly but ultimately decided to tell the truth.

– It’s just a small hotel. Things are very old and not very clean. However, I brought my own sleeping bag so it was okay.

Although she grew up in the countryside and lived in a small house in a village, her grandmother paid a lot of attention to cleanliness. As a result, the house was always immaculate. For this reason, she found the filthy toilet bowl and the hotel’s lightly stained sheets and blankets rather unacceptable.

After listening to his words, Sebastian put down the pen in his hand and asked:

– Do you sleep alone in the hotel room?Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

If she had a roommate, he didn’t think it would be so quiet on her end.

– Yes. Although I have many classmates, fortunately I don’t have to share a room. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to get used to another person in the room, Roxane said, relieved.

Sebastian could imagine the expression on her face when she spoke, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl up. He said :

– Well, you’ll have to learn to get used to having another person with you…

– Eh? She was perplexed.

Before she could think further about his words, Sebastian changed the subject and asked:

– Do you want to change hotels? I can help you organize it.
