AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After Roxane got into the car, Sebastien looked at his watch and said:

– 10 minutes and 50 seconds. You are quite punctual…

An indiscernible hint of jealousy was heard in his voice.

Roxane didn’t seem to hear him as she raised her hand and said softly:

– Mr. Seb, my finger hurts.

Sebastien’s gaze was instantly drawn to the blood on his index finger. He immediately frowned and grabbed her wrist and asked:

-How did you get hurt?

– I pricked the skin…

He looked at her. He felt helpless and distressed in front of her. After ordering the driver to buy bandages, he lowered his head and put his finger in his mouth.

Roxane was stunned and her face turned red immediately. She tried to pull her hand away, saying:

– It’s dirty.

Sebastien held her wrist tightly. After a while, he took a piece of cloth and spat out saliva mixed with blood.

-Are you trying to hurt my heart on purpose?

Roxane was not disturbed when Sebastien denounced her. Instead, she moved closer to him before wrapping her arms around his neck and saying in a delicate voice:

– Isn’t it because I know you love me?

Sebastian gently pushed his forehead and said:

– You are becoming arrogant because I spoil you too much.

“No, no, no,” Roxane hastily denied. Then, she raised her head and gave him a kiss on the cheek before saying:

– I love you too.

Sebastien’s eyes burned. Emotions surged violently in his heart as the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.

After a while, the driver returned with a box of bandages. Who knew if it was intentional or not, but the bandages had Peppa the Pig on them.

Sebastian carefully put on the bandage for her and said with a serious face:

-It suits you very well.

She looked at him.

-Are you calling me pig?

Sebastien did not deny it. He took her hand, intertwining their fingers. Then, he asked casually:

– What did you say to Diego?

– Not much. I told him that we had nothing to do with the fact that he was beaten, Roxane answered honestly. Most of the time, she was very transparent with him and said whatever came to mind. After a while, she continued to say:

– I also told him that I never loved him and that I took him for the person who gave me the umbrella.

Sebastian scoffed and loosened his grip on her hand saying:

-Just because of an umbrella, you thought about him for so many years. You even took someone else for him. It’s like one of those substitutes in novels. Roxane, you are truly incredible.

Sebastien knew how important it was for someone to reach out to Roxane at that moment. However, reason could not overcome emotion at this moment. He couldn’t help but feel extremely jealous. He was also very angry that he wasn’t the person who gave him an umbrella during his darkest time.

-…

“He even knows these kinds of novels?”

Roxane knew she was wrong so she took the initiative to hold his hand. Seeing that he didn’t shake his hand, she tightened her grip and said:

-It was in the past. The person I love now is you.

Then she pulled at the hem of her shirt and said shyly:

-Besides, isn’t it normal for young people to have a few relationships these days? What I had was just a crush, not even a relationship.

-Since it was a crush, it doesn’t count as a relationship…

– I had no relationship at all… said Sebastien, looking at her.

Roxane was choked by his words. When she recovered, she blurted out without thinking:

“Well, you can’t be considered one of us young people.

The atmosphere immediately froze. It felt like the temperature in the car had dropped to freezing.

Sebastian’s face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. A sneer appeared on his face as he pulled his hand away from her. He turned to look out the window, not intending to speak to her anymore.

-…

‘Why did I speak without thinking?! He’s really angry this time!’

– Mr. Seb…Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She cried out as she tried to reach out to tug at his sleeve again.

Sebastien didn’t even look at her. His expression was cold and tense.

Roxane was not intimidated by his imposing aura. She continued to pull her sleeve and cried pitifully:

– Mr. Seb, Mr. Seb…
