AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Although Sebastien sat and looked at Raoul, his superiority could not be concealed. His eyes and posture radiated condescension.

Raoul was able to easily handle such behavior at school, but when faced with the ruthless and experienced Sebastien Flores, he could not help but look down in fear.

Christine stood in front of Raoul like an old hen protecting her chick. She cried as she asked:

-Why are you looking at him? I acted of my own free will. It has nothing to do with him!

She was agitated, so her voice was a little loud.

Sebastian’s expression immediately turned icy. He glanced toward his living room. Seeing that there was no movement, he turned around and said in a low voice:

– Roxane is resting.

Christine was stunned. She had even forgotten about the snot running from her nose.

– I’m crying here, but you only think about your sister-in-law!

Sebastien swept his cold gaze over Christine’s tear-stained and snot-stained face before saying icily:

-If you want to cry, come back. It’s the business.

– But…

She immediately shut up when she saw Sebastien looking at her coldly. Although she was generally carefree and fearless, she was still extremely afraid of Sebastian.

He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Christine. He shifted his cold gaze to Raoul and asked:

– Do you have any objections to your superior’s arrangement?

“No,” Raoul replied after raising his head to look at Sebastien. His tone was neither servile nor authoritarian.

Christine stomped her foot in anger as she turned to look at Sebastian and said:

– Raoul is…

Sebastian’s expression became even more icy.

-You can forget about this foot if you hit it again.

-…

Raoul tilted his head slightly and shook his head at Christine as if trying to calm her down.

Sebastien raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He did his best to suppress his temper. He didn’t want to make a big noise. More importantly, he didn’t want to disturb Roxane who was taking a nap. After a moment, he said to Christine:

– You go first.

She bit her lip, looking reluctant. She didn’t move at all.

Seeing his sister who was in love, Sebastien wished not to let Roxane save his sister at the time. It wasn’t a bad thing to leave your sister lying in the hospital. At least she wouldn’t bother him every time they met. However, if that were the case, he would not have married Roxane back then.

“Forget…”

At that moment, Raoul said to Christine:

– You go out first. President Flores won’t do anything to me.

Christine met Raoul’s calm and gentle gaze before obediently leaving Sebastien’s office.

-…

Sebastien suddenly understood Enzo’s feelings. Seeing that his sister wasn’t listening to him and was so hypnotized by a man, he really wished he could hit her to wake her up.

Now that only the two men remained in the office, the silence was so unbearable that it was almost eerie.

…

The curtains were drawn in the living room and the lights were turned off. Not a sliver of light was visible in the living room.

Roxane was lying on the bed, frowning. Who knew what she was dreaming about, but her forehead was dotted with beads of sweat. At the same time, she whispered again and again:

– Don’t… Don’t go…

His voice was very soft and the door was closed. As such, Sebastian did not hear her.

Roxane’s expression was twisted. She looked anxious and in pain.

Outside the living room; in Sebastien’s office.

– Do you like Christine? Sebastian asked. It didn’t sound like a question. Instead, it seemed like a mockery. It was a man. He could clearly see what Christine and Roxane could not see.

Raoul did not respond.

Sebastien said:

-There are some things you may not know. Although her last name is also Flores, she is not related to me by blood. Whether she can continue to be Miss Flores or not depends on her obedience.

In other words, if Christine was not obedient, she no longer needed to be the young Miss of the Flores family. If that were the case, no matter how close Raoul got to her, there would be no benefit.

Raoul’s eyes flashed in shock, but he quickly regained his composure. He thought his understanding of Sebastian was too superficial. After a while he asked:

– President Flores, what do you want me to do?

Smart people knew how to get to the point. There was no need to beat around the bush.

“Leave Flores Corporation and stay away from Christine,” Sebastien declared openly. At the same time he threw a bait and said:

– You can choose any company in M City.

– Is there a better company than the Flores Corporation in M City?

He didn’t immediately agree. He couldn’t reveal his bottom line in a negotiation too quickly.

Sebastien was very direct and open because he had the capital to do it, but Raoul did not have the capital to do it. He had to fight for the greatest advantages in limited circumstances.

The corners of his lips turned up slightly. His eyes flashed with contempt as he said:

– No. However, you have no choice.

Raoul looked down and took a deep breath. His voice was strained as he said:

– I need an opportunity to study abroad.

A slight hint of surprise briefly flashed in Sebastien’s eyes. Raoul was much smarter than he expected. Compared to staying in M City, it was better to go abroad. There would be many more choices available to him abroad. It was not difficult for him to send Raoul abroad, so he did not hesitate and said:

– Of course.

At this moment, a faint noise came from the living room.

Sebastien stood up and turned to walk towards the living room without even looking at Raoul.

He turned to look at Sebastian’s tall, straight back. His hands at his sides were clenched tightly. His usually soft and warm eyes had cracks that revealed a coldness and darkness that wanted to devour everything. He thought with resentment that some people were born with everything while others couldn’t get rid of their past no matter how they tried.

When Sebastien turned on the light in the living room, he saw Roxane sitting on the bed and panting. His eyes were red. It was as if she had had a nightmare.

She heard the sound and looked at him. She immediately ran into his arms and hugged him tightly. His heart was beating very fast in his chest.

Sebastien lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

– It’s good. It’s just a nightmare.

She leaned against him silently, closing her eyes. She was still panting slightly. She couldn’t tell him that other people’s nightmares were just nightmares, but hers would come true.

Sebastien could sense that she was afraid. His body was trembling. He hugged her and changed the subject to distract her.

– Would you like to eat some ice cream? I’ll tell Lucille to get some. What flavor do you want?

Roxane shook her head and continued to hug him silently.

Sebastien gently stroked her long hair while asking:

-So, do you want to watch something on television?

Fearing that she would be bored, he installed a television in his office for her.

Roxane bit her lip before asking:

-Is Christine there?

She was very groggy earlier, but she seemed to have heard Christine’s voice.

Sebastian nodded.

-Did she wake you up?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

She shook her head.

– No. Did you two fight?

– No.

It wasn’t a fight. He was the one crushing Christine unilaterally. He had held a high position for a long time. Most of the time he didn’t even need to speak. A simple look was enough to intimidate people.

– Don’t fight with her. She is still young, Roxane said. She had just woken up and her voice was lazy and hoarse.

-You are so young, but why are you so sensible?

Sensitive children often disturbed people compared to insensitive children.
