AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien’s casual words immediately aroused 1, 000 waves in Roxane’s heart. She was in a daze as feelings she didn’t even know existed rose in her heart. She lowered her head and couldn’t help but smile. His mood suddenly improved significantly.

He crouched down and reached out to help her tidy up her hair. Naturally, the smile on his face was not lost on him. He asked:

– So you’re not angry with me anymore?

She looked down and replied:

“I wasn’t mad at you in the first place.

“So why did you avoid me if you weren’t angry?” Sebastien asked, looking at her with his dark, sparkling eyes. They were soft and warm.

She bit her lower lip, thinking about how to answer the question. She really wasn’t angry with him. She just didn’t know how to face him after discovering her feelings for him. His feelings were very strange; she was happy and sad. It was something she never felt when she was with Diego.

Sebastien did not pursue the matter. He patted her head with his big warm hands and said:

– Okay, it’s okay if you don’t answer me. Don’t avoid me from now on, okay?

His voice was tender and full of affection.

He didn’t understand why she was angry or avoiding him, but he thought that sometimes women needed to be alone. Therefore, he did not take it to heart or pursue the matter.

Roxane sighed inwardly with relief upon hearing his words. Her eyes were filled with joy as she nodded and took it as a promise to him.

…

Roxane’s physique wasn’t bad. After sleeping and resting for a while, the cold symptoms had completely disappeared and his appetite had also returned. For breakfast, she even had two bowls of porridge.

Sebastien was relieved when he saw that she had become energetic again. However, he still couldn’t help but worry so he reminded her:

– The weather is getting colder. Wear layers of clothing when you go out. Don’t focus on appearance.

– I don’t give priority to beauty, Roxane retorted. Then she rolled up her sleeves and showed him, saying:

– Look at. My clothes are thick. It keeps me warm.

He looked at the fur lining of Roxane’s clothes. They seemed as gentle as she was. He said :

– It’s good that you know. Next time you catch a cold, I’ll take you to the hospital for an injection.

He knew about her dislike of hospitals, so he deliberately said it so she would take better care of herself.

Roxane pursed her lips and said nothing.

After finishing his coffee, Sebastien got up and took his coat from the butler. Buttoning his coat, he asked

– Do you have classes in the morning?

She shook her head.

– No.

After a pause, she added:

-However, I have to go to the Rios family house.

Sebastian’s hands stopped and he looked at her. His eyes immediately darkened.

She didn’t know why, but when she met his gaze, she felt inexplicably guilty. So she took the initiative to explain herself.

-Grandma Rios hasn’t been feeling well lately. She always treated me very well. I should visit him.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

He looked down to hide the ice in his eyes. Then he said:

– You are very respectful. Then he said to the butler:

– Prepare the gifts that Patrice sent previously for Madame to bring to the Rios family house.

“Yes,” replied the butler before leaving.

Roxane said hurriedly:

– It’s not necessary. I’ll just buy something on the way over.

“Since we have these things lying around the house, you don’t need to waste money,” Sebastien said, continuing to button his coat. As he fixed his tie, he looked at her and said:

– These things were given to me, and I have no need of them. After they expire, they will be thrown away anyway.

She looked at him.

-So, is this considered doing a good deed?

It wasn’t long before the butler brought out three boxes of gifts. Two of them were the same brand as the gifts Sebastian had brought to the Alvarez family during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They were ridiculously expensive.

With this, she thought it was reasonable for her to accept the gifts and give them. Otherwise he would be lost. She killed two birds with one stone.

…

At the Rios family house.

Logan got out of the car as Roxane got out. After taking the gifts out of the trunk, he said:

– Madam, let me show you in. Although there are not many things, they are quite heavy. You paint and draw a lot. It would be bad if you hurt your hands.

In fact, before leaving Moon Pavilion, Sebastian had asked Logan to follow Roxane closely to make sure she wouldn’t be bullied.
