AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastian stood at the door, holding a plate of fruit. His face was expressionless as he walked into Roxane’s room step by step with his long legs.

Roxane’s grip on her phone tightened as she stared at him in horror. Inwardly, she prayed fervently, “He didn’t hear anything! Please don’t let him hear anything!”

Sebastien placed the plate of fruit on the round coffee table and looked at Roxane stunned, saying:

– You forgot to close the door. I brought you the fruits prepared by the kitchen.

“Thank you, thank you,” she stammered.

Sebastien looked down at his phone. Then he said with a slight smile:

– No need to thank me. I am old and I like to do charity.

Roxane felt as if she had been struck by lightning as her body went numb.

“He heard it! He really heard it”

Sebastien narrowed his eyes before turning to leave.

Jessica’s muffled voice sounded from the phone at this time.

– Good morning? You, can you hear me? Roxane? Why don’t you say anything?

She hadn’t yet regained her senses when Sebastien suddenly stopped and turned to look at her with his dark eyes. His gaze was unfathomable, making it difficult to guess what was on his mind.

– Whether a man turns into a wolf or not has nothing to do with his age, said Sebastien with a slight smile.

As if he were the most magnanimous person in the world, when he looked at her, his expression seemed to say: “You are young and ignorant so I don’t blame you.”

-…

After Sebastian came out, he even thoughtfully closed the door for her.

– Roxane? Are you talking to anyone?

She came to her senses and tremblingly said:Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

– Jessi, I, I want to leave the country.

– Eh? Where do you want to go? Jessica asked, perplexed.

– March!

Thanks to Jessica, Roxane tossed and turned in her bed for two hours, filled with guilt, before finally falling into a fitful sleep. Even his dream was filled with Sebastian.

In his dream, the black Bentley was driving down the highway. Patrice was driving while Sebastien, dressed in a black suit, sat in the back. He was focused on reading a file in his hand.

Suddenly, a large truck from the right lane rushed over and slammed into the side of the black Bentley. With a bang, the black Bentley rolled on the road several times. Even the doors were slammed. As Sebastien had his seat belt on, he was not thrown out of the car. However, he was injured. Blood gushed from a wound on his forehead as he lay unconscious.

The truck did not stop. He reversed as if he intended to crash into the black Bentley again.

Meanwhile, dream Roxane stood to the side watching this, horrified. She burned with anxiety, shouting:

– Mr. Flores, Mr. Flores, wake up! If you don’t wake up now, you’ll die.

Sebastien did not react; he was unconscious, after all. The blood had already stained half of his face red. Even his snow-white shirt was stained with blood.

At this moment, the truck hit the black Bentley mercilessly again.

– Sebastien Flores!

Roxane screamed, waking up with a start. She was panting heavily as her forehead was dotted with beads of sweat. Even the hair at his temples was soaked. She gradually calmed down as she wiped the sweat from her face with a piece of cloth.

It had been a long time since she had such a dream. The last time she had such a dream was when she dreamed of saving Christine after she fell into the water.

Roxane’s heart pounded in her chest as she thought about her dream. Could it be that someone wants to harm Sebastian?

Roxane was still distracted after changing her clothes and going downstairs for breakfast. From time to time she looked at the man sitting at the table.

Today, Sebastien wore a dark blue shirt. He ate the Western breakfast calmly. It was as if nothing had happened last night, and he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

On the other hand, Roxane was so embarrassed that she wished she could bury her face in her bowl. Usually he would have already left for work by then. She didn’t expect to have breakfast with him today.

When Sebastien saw that she had glanced furtively at him, he said:

– Focus on eating.

Roxane came back to her senses and nodded. After hesitating for a moment, she apologized in a low voice:

– I’m sorry.

– Hmm?

Sebastien looked at her.

– I shouldn’t have talked about you with my best friend last night. What’s more, she even said these… things…

The more she said, the more ashamed she felt. She had lowered her head so far that she was about to be buried in her bowl.

In fact, Sebastien didn’t take yesterday’s incident to heart at all. He just didn’t expect the topics the young women were talking about to be so… heavy. However, he still said:

– Do you think a simple apology is enough?

Roxane raised her head slightly, looking withered as she asked weakly:

– So what do you want?

He kept a straight face as he looked at her silently with his dark eyes.

After thinking about it for a moment, Roxane said:

-Why don’t I cook tonight? My cooking skills are very good! I can even cook you an imperial feast.

Ever since he asked her to cook him a bowl of noodles last night, she thought he must like her cooking.

Sebastian was silent for a moment before nodding reluctantly.

Seeing this, Roxane’s nervousness and worries immediately disappeared. Then she asked:

– All right! So what do you want to eat?

– Imperial festival.

-…

“Are you trying to tire me to death?”

When Sebastien saw the collapse of Roxane’s expression, he lowered his head and smiled.

She said :

-It would be a waste if you couldn’t finish all the food…

– I’m not lazy! I really don’t want food to go to waste!

Sebastien did not answer him.

At this moment, Patrice entered the dining room. He respectfully said:

– Hello, President Flores, Miss Alvarez.

Roxane turned around and was stunned when she saw the tie and gray suit Patrice was wearing. The scenes from last night’s dream came back to his mind, making his face pale. In his dream, Patrice wore the same colorful tie and the same gray suit.

Sebastien stood up and took his suit jacket from the butler. When he saw the strange expression on Roxane’s face, he assumed that she had been frightened by his previous words, so he said:

– You can cook whatever you want. Remember, I don’t like sweet foods.

Roxane couldn’t help but tremble. Now that Sebastian had stood up, she could see that what he was wearing was exactly the same as what he was wearing in his dream.

So early? It’s today? Sebastien will die today…

After Sebastian put on his jacket, he saw a depressed Roxane who looked like a pitiful kitten who had been bullied. Then, he said,

– In the future, the driver will travel to and from the university. Moon Pavilion is quite far away and it is not safe for you to take the bus.

Roxane looked at him with surprise. ‘So the reason Patrice was driving in my dream was because he let the driver take me to college? If he has the driver, he can’t die! After all, the driver is definitely good at driving since he drives so often. In this kind of situation, his reaction is probably faster than that of ordinary people. Even if it’s only a second faster, they might be able to avoid the danger.

Sebastien felt that something was wrong with Roxane. However, when he saw the time, he knew that he had no time to ask about it now. Therefore, he turned around and walked towards the door.
