AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After asking around, Christine discovered that Raoul liked white, so she decided to give him the white shirt she had purchased.

Unsurprisingly, Raoul was not willing to accept the shirt, but Christine was very insistent and found all kinds of reasons for him to accept it. She even went so far as to say that she really wanted to go to the escape room and was afraid she wouldn’t be able to solve the puzzle to escape. She invited him to accompany her and said that if they could escape the room in an hour, the shirt could be considered a gift in return.

Raoul found it difficult to reject Christine, seeing how persistent she was. Therefore, he agreed.

She was afraid it would be too awkward if it was just the two of them, so she invited Roxane and Jessica.

The escape room was the same one Roxane went to when she was trying to chase Sebastian.

In order to avoid being the third wheel, Roxane and Jessica teamed up to look for clues, leaving Christine with Raoul.

Every time he found a clue or solved a riddle, Christine looked at him with eyes brimming with admiration. Without even thinking about it, words of praise came out of his mouth. Surprisingly, despite how many times she praised him, each of her praises was unique and unrepeated.

Jessica said in a muffled voice:

-Why is my life so bitter? I helped you pursue Sebastien back then, and now I’m helping Christine pursue Raoul! Just because I’m single, should I suffer like this?

Since there were two side missions, Roxane and Jessica were tasked with completing one, leaving the other to Raoul and Christine. This way, Raoul and Christine would be together all the time. A single man and a single woman together in such a dark and terrifying place could easily create sparks of love.

Roxane said in an attempt to console Jessica:NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

-Think of it this way. This means you helped match two couples. Maybe the third time will be your turn. The third time’s the charm!

Jessica pouted.

– I hope so! Otherwise, I would see this terrifying ghost here twice for nothing!

With Raoul, the best student, around, they escaped the room in less than an hour.

Christine looked at Raoul with admiration and said enthusiastically:

-Senior, you are too amazing!

Raoul seemed embarrassed by Christine’s praise. He laughed and said:

-You are also very courageous. You are the bravest girl I have ever met.

– Really?

Christine’s cheeks turned red.

Jessica discreetly nudges Christine and says to her in a muffled voice:

– Control yourself…

‘Otherwise, you will scare away this handsome young man…’

Christine pursed her lips. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with his actions or words. She only looked at Raoul with hearts in her almond-shaped eyes.

-What are we going to do next? Roxane asked when she saw it was still early. There was still a little time before dinner time.

– I still want to play, said Christine, not wanting to part with Raoul so soon.

Jessica quickly pressed her hand to her chest and said:

– I can not do this anymore. It’s too scary. I have to go to the bathroom. You guys have fun!

– I’m not going there either. Senior, why don’t you accompany Christine? I saw an art gallery there, so I want to take a look, Roxane said. She understood Christine’s heart and was very willing to help her realize her wishes.

Christine looked at the young man in front of her expectantly.

Raoul looked at Christine’s bright and impatient eyes. Maybe he couldn’t bear to refuse so he nodded in agreement.

Christine squeezed Raoul’s arm enthusiastically.

-Thank you, Senior! You are the best!

He pulled out his phone to book another session.

Christine was reluctant to let Raoul spend money. She didn’t know how many days he would have to work just to get that money back. Therefore, she said:

– Let me make a reservation.

-You booked it earlier, so let me book it this time. Otherwise, I won’t enter, Raoul said. His attitude was very firm.

Seeing this, Christine could only helplessly agree. She said :

“Then I’ll treat you to a meal later.” Don’t argue with me about this. Plus, Roxane and Jessi are my friends. So we can’t take advantage of you!

Although Raoul was determined, he was not inflexible. He said:

– All right. I will treat you alone next time.

Christine said to herself: ‘I hope there will be a lot more next time…’
