AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

At night, Roxane and Sebastien took a shower and went to bed in a set of silver and yellow pajamas.

It wasn’t like Jessica expected. They just slept in each other’s arms peacefully.

There was only one orange French door left in the room, and the atmosphere was peaceful and warm.

Roxane lay in his arms and listened to his strong heartbeat.

“Sebastien,” she called in a soft voice.

– What? He gently stroked her back.

– Sebastien… she shouted again.

Sebastien looked at her with confusion.

Roxane’s eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth curved.

– Nothing. I just wanted to call you.

Sebastien smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

– I am here.

He had always been there.

Roxane leaned into his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of security. She sighed with satisfaction.

– Sebastien, I suddenly feel very blessed.

She was so happy it seemed unreal.

– You will always be happy.

Roxane opened her eyes and met his affectionate gaze. She nodded.

– I will make you happy too.

Sebastian reached out and brushed the hair from her face behind her ears. Her thin lips parted slightly.

– You seem to have changed.

– What changed?

She blinked.

Sebastien did not explain and added:

– That doesn’t seem to have changed.

Roxane pouted.

-It really is like listening to the words of a king.

Sebastien’s thin lips parted slightly.

– Go to sleep. I still have to visit my in-laws tomorrow.

Roxane nodded.

– Good night, Sebastien.

Sebastian’s white eyes were filled with a smile.

– Good night, Mrs. Flores.

Roxane’s heart softened and she changed her words.

– Mr. Flores, good night.

***

The next morning, Roxane got up. Sebastien got up earlier than her and had already returned from an errand.

When she came downstairs, she saw Raoul pushing Christine inside.

Christine was so excited she wanted to jump out of her wheelchair.

– Oh, you’re finally back! The butler called me last night and I couldn’t believe it.

If Raoul hadn’t stopped her, she would have come last night.

Roxane came forward to give him a hug.

– It’s been a long time, Christine!

Christine was overjoyed, but she asked with concern:

– Have you come back to get married or are you not leaving anymore?

Roxane looked up at Sebastien, who was drinking water, and said softly:

– I have already obtained my diploma. I don’t intend to leave this time. Jonas will help me manage the house in Paris.

Sebastien withdrew his gaze and his thin lips curled imperceptibly.

– That’s great.

Christine was happy for her big brother.

“Oh, you’re finally back. You don’t know to what extent my big brother has become the executioner of your departure. Not only does he have to work overtime every day, but he also has to enslave Raoul on the weekends….

Before she could finish, Sebastian gave her a cold look with a warning.

– Christine Flores.

Christine stuck out her pink tongue.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Raoul was afraid that Sebastien would be angry with him, so he explained on his behalf,

– Big brother did this for the good of the company. Previously, the company had already grown in a bottleneck period. If we had maintained the same pace, it would have gone down. Fortunately, the big brother made adjustments in a timely manner.

Although he was not well-liked in Sebastian’s eyes, he had to admit that Sebastian’s experience and vision in running business far exceeded his own.

Roxane didn’t know much about the company’s affairs and didn’t want to interfere with Sebastien’s work. She chuckled and changed the subject, asking them to come over for breakfast. She also asked the butler to bring the gifts she had prepared for Christine and Raoul.
