AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Enzo fired the couple.

While waiting for the elevator, Roxane couldn’t help but ask:

– Brother, you feel sorry for Deborah because of her illness, don’t you? You don’t really like him, do you?

– I don’t know.

Enzo’s response couldn’t be more ambiguous.

“What do you mean you don’t know?”

Roxane asked, displeased.

-At first, I just wanted her to leave you both alone. Later, when I found out she was sick, I felt sorry for her, Enzo said,

-Now, none of that matters. She just needs a man to take care of her. I want to take care of her and send her on her final journey.

– But Jessica…

Before she could finish her words, the elevator arrived with a ‘ding’.

Enzo glanced at him and asked:

-What’s wrong with Jessica?

There were other people waiting in the elevator so Roxane swallowed her words and said:

– It’s nothing. I’ll take my leave first.

She lowered her head and entered the elevator grimly.

Sebastian followed her and kept her away from the crowd.

After Enzo watched the elevator door close, he turned around, still thinking about what could have happened to Jessica. A frown appeared on his face as he remembered last night’s scene. He couldn’t help but wonder what Jessica wanted.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind and he couldn’t help but shiver. He quickly shook his head, dismissing the absurd thought.

‘Impossible! Absolutely impossible! We were at each other’s throats for so many years. Unless this girl is a masochist, there’s no way she’ll like me.’

Initially, Roxane wanted to talk to Jessica about Deborah, but she had taken a leave of absence and was not going to class. She also didn’t pick up her phone and only sent a message on WeChat saying she wanted to spend time alone for a while. After responding to this message, she did not respond again. Obviously, she had been very hurt by her brother’s rejection this time.

Rain fell for several days in M City, making those who were in a bad mood even more gloomy.

Jessica had locked herself in her house for a few days.

She had sent the helpers out of the house so there wasn’t much to eat at home. In the end, she was forced out. She didn’t wear makeup and her hair wasn’t washed. She only changed her clothes and wore a black cap before leaving the house.

There was an old bakery south of town. The bread there was freshly baked and delicious.

When she arrived, it was raining and there were a lot of people queuing at the entrance to the bakery. After parking the car, she got out of the car and went to the back of the line to wait. As she had not brought an umbrella with her, drops of rain fell on her cap like pearls.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people found themselves in front of the line. However, before it was Jessica’s turn, the bakery said the bread was sold out and everyone would have to wait another 30 minutes if they wanted to buy it.

The person in front of Jessica gave up on buying the bread. The umbrella in his hand was rather large so when he turned around, the side of the umbrella almost stung Jessica’s eyes.

She was startled and instinctively stepped back to avoid the umbrella, hitting the person behind her in the process.

The other party shouted. She twisted her ankle and fell.

Things happened too quickly and she couldn’t react in time. She wanted to help the other party, but it was too late. She could only watch helplessly as the other party, a woman wearing a white embroidered dress and a beige cardigan, fell heavily into a puddle of dirty water. When she regained her footing, she quickly rushed to help the woman. However, before she could apologize to the woman, she heard a familiar but unfamiliar voice.

-Deborah!

Jessica’s body stiffened immediately. She looked up and saw a person getting out of the car before rushing over. The other person wore an expression she had never seen before on his handsome face; it was an expression of concern.

In an instant, Jessica felt like her heart had broken again and was bleeding profusely. It was so painful that his eyes turned red in an instant.

– Are you OK?

Enzo approached before extending his hand to help Deborah get up. He quickly took off his coat and draped it over his body.

After she nodded, indicating that she was fine, Enzo turned to Jessica saying:

– Jessica, don’t you have anything better to do?

Jessica was stunned.

– What?

– Stop pretending! I have seen everything. Enzo’s expression was extremely cold as he said sadly:

“You deliberately knocked her over. Is it fun to do something like this?

Because he was in the car earlier, he didn’t see the person in front of Jessica clearly. He only saw Jessica bump into Deborah. From her point of view, it seemed like she did it on purpose.

– Did I knock her over deliberately? Why should I do it?

Jessica asked, baffled. She hadn’t been able to sleep or eat in the last few days. As such, she was pale and haggard. When she looked at him, her eyes were dull and dull.

Enzo sneered.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

– Why else? Isn’t it because you heard about her from Roxane that you are helping her vent her anger?! I warn you. Deborah is under my protection now. Don’t even think about intimidating him!

‘Deborah!’

Jessica turned her gaze to the frail woman who was half leaning against Enzo’s chest.

At this moment, Deborah bit her lower lip before smiling weakly at Jessica.

‘So it’s Deborah? This is the woman he fell in love with and wants to marry…’

After a beat, Jessica laughed.

Enzo raised an eyebrow.

– What are you laughing about?

Jessica didn’t answer his question. Instead, she nodded and said:

– Yes, I deliberately bumped into her. I do not like him. I hate that this hypocritical woman harasses Roxane and Sebastien. I hate that she wins the sympathy of all the men in the world by being pitiful. I also hate that she charms you so much that you even forget your mother’s last name…

Before she could finish speaking, Enzo lost his temper. He raised his hand, clearly intending to slap her.

-Enzo! Deborah cried out softly, surprised.

Jessica was so frightened that she instinctively lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly. A gust of wind passed, and the slap she expected didn’t land. She didn’t feel any pain. Instead, she only felt that her head was cold as the black cap fell on her head. Her long curly hair was damp from the rain. When she looked up, her eyes were filled with disappointment. At that moment, the broken pieces of his heart seemed to have turned into ashes.

The wind continued to blow.

When Enzo’s temper flared, it was as if there was no distinction between men and women. However, the moment he raised his hand, he hesitated. The slap didn’t land on Jessica’s face, and her hand only knocked the hat off her head.

Jessica’s eyes were very red at the moment, but she stubbornly resisted the urge to cry. She pursed her lips as she looked at him. Then, as if pressing every word from her throat, she said:

-Enzo, I really hate you. The person I hate most in the world is you. I really don’t want to see you again from now on.

After saying this, she turned and left. She didn’t even pick up the hat that had fallen to the ground.

Enzo’s expression was grim as he said through gritted teeth:

-Who wants to see you anyway? I don’t want to see you either. Whoever shows up in front of the other person is a fucking dog!

The rain was slowly getting heavier and the sound of the rain was getting louder and louder. However, this did not hide Enzo’s voice.

Jessica straightened her back. She continued forward without looking back, but her nails were dug into the flesh of her palms.

Deborah frowned slightly as she said softly:

“You shouldn’t have told him that. She didn’t do it on purpose.
