AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane immediately stopped in her tracks. When she turned to look at Diego, her clear eyes flashed icy.

Diego’s heart skipped a beat when he met her icy gaze. He had blurted out those words earlier in a fit of anger, but there was no turning back now.

Roxane’s expression was solemn as she said tonelessly:

-Diego Rios, thank you.

He was perplexed. He naturally didn’t understand why she thanked him.

She bit her cherry lips lightly before saying in an increasingly cheerful voice:

-Thank you for not marrying me. Not marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.

Roxane herself didn’t understand now how she could have fallen in love with such a person in the past. How could she consider such a despicable person as her salvation? How could she want to live the rest of her life with him and change herself for him? He was clearly not worthy.

She didn’t wait for Diego’s response, and turned around to get in the car after finishing speaking.

– Roxane Alvarez… Roxane… Diego’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t care about her pain right now as he chased after her.

Alas, she didn’t care about him at all and told Logan to leave.

Diego’s hand was about to touch the car door when the car pulled away. No matter how much he screamed, the car didn’t stop for him.

…

Roxane’s expression was rather grim; no smile could be seen on his face at that moment. She was so angry. She wasn’t angry that Diego tried to use her brother to threaten her, but she was angry at herself for being blind in the past and loving such a despicable person.

She consoled herself that she was young and ignorant in the past and didn’t know how to judge people.

When the car stopped at the university, Logan saw the dejected look on Roxane’s face. He hesitated for a moment before shouting

– Madam…

Roxane turned to look at him.

– Yes? What is the problem?

Logan kindly reminded him:

– Mr. Alvarez is a friend of President Flores. President Flores certainly won’t stand aside and do nothing if Mr. Alvarez gets into trouble.

In other words, Logan wanted Roxane to turn to Sebastien for help.

Roxane’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she said:

– I know.

Logan wanted to speak again, but Roxane glanced at her watch and saw that she was late so she said:

– I have to go now.

Logan frowned as he looked at Roxane’s back. After thinking about it for a moment, he called Sebastien. With Sebastian’s status, he could deal with the Rios family in just a few words.

…

In the evening.

When Sebastien returned to the Moon Pavilion, he did not see Roxane. He instinctively asked the butler:

– Where is she ?

“The moment Madame came back, she locked herself in the studio,” replied the butler, helping Sebastien to remove his coat.

He nodded. Then he went upstairs and knocked on the studio door.

– Come in.

Sebastien opened the door and saw Roxane sitting in front of the easel. She held a palette in one hand and a brush in the other. When she turned to look at him, a smile bloomed on her face as she said:

– You are back.

The curtains weren’t closed so the light from outside illuminated his face. It was like there was a filter on her.

Sebastian’s Adam’s apple rolled several times before he responded with a

– Mm.

Roxane wondered why Sebastien had come to see her today. He usually went back to his room first when he got home. A thought came to her mind and she asked:

– Are you hungry ? What do you want to eat? I will cook it for you.

-…

He was speechless. After a few seconds, he calmly replied:All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

– I’m not hungry.

Roxane looked perplexed.

-So, what is it?

“Nothing,” Sebastien replied. After a while he asked:

– You… You have nothing to tell me?
