AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane cooked personally.

Deborah offered to help her, but she kindly declined. In the end, she could only watch from the sidelines. His complexion was worse than before and there were obvious dark circles around his eyes. His voice was also getting weaker and weaker.

-Aren’t you planning to go to the hospital yet? She asked. She felt that Deborah should not drag him around anymore.

Deborah lowered her head and coughed lightly. She was like a weak and dying lamp.

– I already told Mumu that I will go to the hospital tomorrow.

Roxane asked:

-And Mumu? Do you want him to stay at Moon Pavilion?

Deborah shook her head slightly.

– Not now. I hired a nanny. The nanny will take care of him during the week. Enzo will take him to the hospital on the weekend.

“If you need anything, let me know,” Roxane said. The expression on her delicate face was serious and her gaze was sincere.

Deborah nodded slightly. His pale lips moved as he said:

– Sebastien is lucky to have met you.

She smiled slightly before changing the subject.

– The kitchen is very smoky. You should go out.

She knew that Roxane was concerned about her health, so she did not refuse and walked out of the kitchen.

The kitchen was very large. The cook and help helped Roxane so a large table of dishes was prepared very quickly.

She checked the time and saw that it was six o’clock in the evening so she said:

– Let’s not wait for Seb. It’s getting late so we should eat first.

She was especially worried that Mathis was hungry.

Deborah hesitated slightly, but Enzo was unceremonious, moving his chopsticks directly. It had been a long time since he had eaten the food that Roxane cooked.

Although Mathis was generally mischievous, his table manners were quite good. If the adults hadn’t eaten yet, he wouldn’t eat first. He only started eating willingly after Deborah gave him some freshly fried fish.

When Roxane saw everyone enjoying the food she cooked, the disappointment in her heart was greatly reduced.

Enzo drank wine while the other three drank fruit juice. They raised their glasses and wished Roxane a happy birthday.

At that moment, Enzo’s phone started ringing. He placed his glass on the table before glancing at the message he had received. Then he frowned and swore under his breath,

– Whore!

Roxane glanced at Mathis. He seemed focused on eating and didn’t seem to hear Enzo. Then she glared at Enzo and said

-Brother, don’t swear in front of children!

He said nothing. He only looked at Deborah with an inscrutable gaze.

Deborah’s appetite was not very good. After eating a little, she put down her chopsticks. When she raised her head, she saw Enzo looking at her with a complicated expression on his face. She asked softly:

– What’s wrong ?

Before 8 could respond, there was a noise coming from the entrance.

Following this, the butler said happily:

– Madam, Sir is back.

Roxane got up. When she turned around, she saw Sebastien enter.

He was dressed in a black suit. His figure was tall and straight, and his expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. His lips were slightly pursed and he said nothing.

A tall figure followed behind Sebastien. His face was handsome and he wore a pair of rimless glasses. A smile could be seen on his face, but his eyes were devoid of warmth.

Deborah was holding a spoon when she turned around. As soon as she saw the figure behind Sebastian, her hand slipped and the spoon fell with a thud onto the porcelain bowl. The sound was extremely discordant amid the silence.

Mathis continued to eat with crumbs clinging to the corners of his lips. However, his bright eyes looked curiously at the person behind Sebastian.

On the other hand, Roxane rubbed her eyes before looking back at the person behind Sebastien, making sure she didn’t see anything.

Fernand looked at Deborah and said flatly:

– Deborah, I’m back.

Shock and disbelief filled Deborah’s eyes. She remained pinned to the ground, unable to react.

Fernand came closer and reached out to touch Mathis’ head.

He slid off the chair and hugged Deborah’s thigh, measuring Fernand.

Fernand lowered his head. A slight smile could be seen on his face, and a trace of gentleness could be heard in his voice as he said:

– Your name is Mathis, isn’t it? I am your biological father…

Before anyone can respond…

Thud!

The sound of a slap echoed in the dining room.

Deborah’s eyes were overflowing with tears and her whole body was trembling. She looked at Fernand without blinking.

He is turned on his side. His glasses were slightly crooked and his cheek was red from the slap. He didn’t seem angry as he raised his hand to adjust his glasses. Then, he calmly looked at the agitated Deborah. He said :

“Deborah, what’s wrong?” Let’s go home…

Before he could finish speaking, she suddenly grabbed his chest with one hand and held the back of the chair with the other hand. His breathing was rapid and his face was even paler than before.

Before anyone could react, she fell to the ground.

Enzo, who was sitting next to Deborah, quickly reached out to kiss her. Due to her illness, she had lost a lot of weight. He felt like he was holding a piece of paper when he held her; she felt weightless.

-Deborah! Deborah! Enzo shouted with a grim expression on his face. Seeing that there was no response, he carried her and rushed out.

Seeing that his mother had fainted, Mathis cried out anxiously:

– Mummy mummy…

He wanted to run after Enzo, but before he could, Sebastian picked her up.

Sebastien’s dark eyes looked at Fernand, who stood still, as he asked:

– Are you satisfied now?

He shrugged with an innocent expression on his face.

Sebastien looked at Roxane, who was in a daze all the time, and said slowly:

– Do you want to wait at home or do you want to go to the hospital with me?Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She came to her senses. She glanced at Fernand before responding:

– I’ll go to the hospital with you.

Sebastian nodded before reaching out to wipe the crumbs from around Mathis’ mouth. He waited for Roxane to walk beside him before turning to leave.

Fernand hesitated for three seconds before following Sebastien.
