AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien’s heart was beating hard in his chest. A warm current rushed into his heart and the feeling frightened him. He swallowed several times before slowly saying in a low voice:

– Me too…

– I like you, and I’m very happy that you like me too…

Roxane fell asleep very quickly despite the loud noises of the film, once again missing her confession.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

…

When she finally recovered, Sebastien allowed her to resume her classes. With this, he also returned to work.

When she returned to college, she heard that one of her classmates had dropped out. The precise reason was unclear, but she could vaguely guess it.

After all, if Mina didn’t have help, it would have been impossible to lock her and Watson in the room. As for how Watson discovered the identity of the accomplice, Roxane didn’t care. The important thing was that the matter was settled and that his reputation and that of Watson were not tarnished. There was no point dwelling on unhappy things.

After this incident, Roxane’s relationship with her classmates improved. Nevertheless, they still couldn’t stop chatting and asking Roxane about her relationship with Sebastien.

The relationship between Roxane and Sebastien was a little complicated. She didn’t know how to answer the questions and she didn’t want to lie. In the end, she often relied on her smile to get through.

A few of her male classmates who had been interested in her had also given up completely. Not only was she taken, but their competitor was so strong. They didn’t want to embarrass themselves and fight a losing battle.

At the end of the month, Jessica invited Roxane to a barbecue restaurant.

The duo ate happily, and after filling their stomachs, they began to chat.

After hearing about Mina’s actions, Jessica was furious. She said through gritted teeth:

– Where did Mina find the courage and confidence to compete with you? Has she ever looked at herself in the mirror at home? His face is plastic! Even if all the women in the world disappeared and she was the only one left, Sebastien still wouldn’t spare her a glance!

Roxane sighed.

– Fortunately, I didn’t marry into the Rios family. Otherwise, I would be living in hell now.

Jessica nodded in agreement. Suddenly she thought of something and asked:

– It’s true. Sebastien has a sister, doesn’t he?

Roxane nodded.

– Yes.

– If it hadn’t been for his sister, he wouldn’t have married me at the time…

Jessica said, slightly worried:

– Most girls from rich families are spoiled and a little unreasonable. What if Sebastien’s sister was also like that?

The image of Christine Flores lying on the hospital bed appeared in Roxane’s mind before she said in an uncertain tone:

– I do not think so…

When she remembered Christine’s delicate and pretty face, she thought that she didn’t look like a spoiled and rude girl.

Jessica said:

– I hope so. Sebastien seems distant, but he is well mannered and polite. His younger sister shouldn’t be so bad. Plus, you’re so nice!

Roxane pouted and said:

-Stop teasing me…

Jessica’s words reminded Roxane that she didn’t know much about Sebastien. Other than knowing he had a sister, she knew nothing. He also didn’t mention his parents.

The duo continued to chat, losing track of time. If Logan hadn’t called, Roxane wouldn’t have realized it was almost 10 p. m. She hurriedly bid farewell to Jessica and returned to the Moon Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the house, the butler greeted her.

– Welcome, Madam.

She nodded before asking:

– Sebastien is still not back?

“Yes,” said the butler, helping him take off his down jacket. At the same time he muttered to himself:

– It’s already after 10 p. m. If he doesn’t come back soon, he won’t arrive in time to eat the Longevity Noodles.

Roxane stopped in her tracks and asked:

– What longevity noodles?

The butler looked rather surprised. He asked :

– So Madam doesn’t know? Today is the gentleman’s birthday. Although he doesn’t celebrate his birthday, I always ask the kitchen to prepare him a bowl of Longevity noodles every year.

The words “it’s Monsieur’s birthday today” keep coming back to Roxane’s head. It was Sebastien’s birthday, but she completely ignored it. Besides, when she left this morning, he didn’t say anything at all, as if he himself had forgotten her birthday.

It was already so late that the shopping centers were already closed. It was too late to buy a present now. However, she couldn’t pretend that she didn’t know it was her birthday. Even if Sebastian didn’t care, she cared a lot about this matter.

She hesitated for a moment before shouting:

– Hold on…

– Madam, what are your orders? the butler asks respectfully after turning to Roxane.

“You should all go and rest.

– But Monsieur hasn’t come home yet… said the butler with a hesitant expression on his face.

-I’ll prepare the longevity noodles for him. No matter what time he returns, I will wait for him. So you can all rest now, Roxane said in a soft but determined voice.

Hearing this, the butler smiled. He knew that Sebastien would be very happy if she cooked for him personally. This is why he says:

“So, thank you for your hard work, Madam.

After that she went to her room. She walked over to a cabinet and pulled out the bottom drawer before pulling out an exquisite box. The hesitation in her eyes was slowly replaced with determination as she looked at the box.

During her birthday, Sebastien had renovated a room into an art studio for her as a birthday present. Now that it was his birthday, she wanted to give him something special too.

It’s a little embarrassing, but maybe he’ll like it!

After making her decision, she changed her clothes before going downstairs to make preparations and cook Longevity’s noodles.

…

The moonlit night was calm.

Street lights illuminated people’s way home, no matter the night or time.

At this moment, a black Bentley pulled into the driveway. Shortly after, Sebastien got out of the car. He looked up, and when he saw that the villa was completely dark, he frowned slightly. No matter what time it was, the butler usually left a few lights on.

He walked towards the entrance and started typing in the password. He took a few steps into the house when he caught sight of the lit Christmas tree out of the corner of his eye. It was the Christmas tree he had previously placed in the attic.

At that moment, a faint noise filled the air before light flooded the room, illuminating the slender figure standing by the staircase.

He instinctively looked up and was stunned.

Roxane wore a short-sleeved white blouse with a red checkered bow. Her long black hair was tied into pigtails. She wore a purple skirt that fell above her knees and a pair of white stockings covered her legs below her knees. She also wore a pair of leather flats.

She looked quite young at first. With her costume and hairstyle, she looked very cute.

Sebastian’s breathing hitched as his eyes gradually darkened.

The heating in the villa was very good. Even if Roxane was lightly dressed, she wouldn’t be cold. However, at this moment, under his burning gaze, she couldn’t help but shiver.
