AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

The morning before Roxane’s exams, she and Sebastien sat at the dining table and had breakfast together.

When Patrice entered, he shouted:

– President Flores, Mrs Flores, hello.

Roxane swallowed the food in her mouth and replied in a soft voice:

– Good morning.

Patrice said nothing else and only looked at Sebastien with a complex and troubled look.

Sebastian’s expression and voice were calm as he said:

-If you have something to say, just say it.

-Miss Holt is back. She also brought back Young Master Mathis.

Sebastian’s hand holding the chopsticks stopped briefly as he looked at the young woman next to him.

She was eating breakfast seriously and had no reaction.

Sebastien frowned slightly and responded with a weak

– Mmm.

Patrice added:

– She will arrive at the airport in an hour.

Sebastien raised his head. His eyes were cold as he said:

– Arrange for someone to come and get them. If there is something they need, you can do it for them. Do I still need to explain such a trivial matter?

Patrice immediately looked down.

– Understood.

He turned to leave immediately to avoid drawing fire.

Sebastien picked up a steamed dumpling and placed it on Roxane’s plate, saying calmly:

– Deborah brought Mathis back this time. She’s probably planning to move to M City.

Since Roxane liked to eat Chinese breakfast, the breakfast menu at Moon Pavilion had been changed according to her tastes. Breakfast was always a variety of steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, crab roe buns, etc. The chef prepared different types of dishes every day.

Roxane’s cheeks were puffy as she said:

– Mmm.

Her mouth was full of food so she could speak.

Sebastien took a deep breath before asking him ambiguously:

-Aren’t you at all worried?

Roxane blinked innocently as she tilted her head and asked, truly confused,Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

– What to worry about?

-…

-She really is like a block of wood that can make people mad to death!

At that moment, realization seemed to dawn on Roxane. She said very magnanimously:

“Oh, do you have to entertain Miss Holt?” It’s good. You can go and entertain her. Do not worry about me. Besides, I will be busy with my exams these two days and I will not have time to accompany you.

-…

The corners of Sebastien’s lips twitched slightly. He chose a fried dumpling for her and said:

– Eat more to nourish your heart and your eyes…

Roxane said:

– …There is no scientific evidence to support this. Since when have you been so gullible?

-…

The atmosphere in the dining room was rather low, but Roxane didn’t notice it at all. His mind was filled only with his exams.

When Christine entered the dining room, a youthful smile could be seen on her delicate face. She greeted:

– Hello, brother, sister-in-law!

“Hello, Christine,” replied Roxane. She put down her chopsticks after finishing eating. After responding to Christine, she got up and went upstairs to get something before going to college.

After Roxane’s figure disappeared down the stairs, Christine sat down and politely shouted:

– Brother…

– What is the problem? Why are you here?

Sebastien had lost his appetite. He put down his chopsticks before picking up his cup of coffee.

– Nothing. Why can’t I come see my brother if I have time? She smiled with a flattering expression on her face.

Sebastian’s lips were pursed tightly as he looked at Christine without any ripple in his dark eyes.

One second, two seconds… Ten seconds…

After 30 seconds, Christine could no longer stand her brother’s gaze. She raised her hands in surrender before shyly saying:

– Okay, okay, I give up! Brother, I have a classmate who passed the company’s preliminary exams. The results of the second exam are also good. If he can get into the business, brother, can you…

Sebastian mercilessly interrupted.

– No.

Christine straightened her back and said sadly:

– Brother, I haven’t finished speaking…

He looked down; her thick eyelashes hid her eyes. Then he said in a weak voice:

-It doesn’t suit you.

Christine was immediately stunned. After a long time, she finally reacted and stood up in anger.

-Brother, did you send someone to spy on me?

Sebastien did not deny it. He placed his coffee cup on the table neither lightly nor heavily, but the “bang” shook Christine’s heart. She was afraid, but when she thought of the person she loved, she was filled with boundless courage. She said :

– He is very intelligent and capable! If he joins the company, as long as you give him an opportunity, he will definitely do well!

Even though she was young and didn’t have much work experience, she knew how difficult it was for a new graduate to join a big company. If one was not careful or unlucky, one would be deleted by one’s boss, unable to make a name for oneself in a life.

– There has never been a shortage of smart people in this world, and the company has no shortage of such smart people.

“Big brother…” Christine protested. She clearly did not understand the deeper meaning of Sebastien’s words.

He looked at her. His icy gaze immediately stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He said flatly:

-If you want to fall in love, I can find you someone in our circle in M City. What kind of man do you want?

As Sebastian’s sister, Christine could find any man she wanted.

“I only want Raoul,” Christine declared stubbornly. She had never disobeyed her brother since she was young. It was the first time, and it was for the person she loved.

Feeling outraged for the person she loved, she asked:

-Brother, do you also look down on his family background? Yes, his track record isn’t that great, but what era is it in right now? Equal status means nothing now. Isn’t that ridiculous? Besides, if you look down on Raoul’s background, then the sister-in-law’s family doesn’t have…

Before she could finish her words, Sebastian turned to look at her with knife-like eyes.

Christine instinctively closed her mouth.

He was already unhappy that Roxane didn’t seem to care about Deborah’s return, to begin with. At this point, he wasn’t in the mood to waste his breath on Christine. He stood up and took the suit jacket that the butler handed him. As he buttoned his jacket, he warned her sternly, like a parent:

-You better not think about that person with the last name Grant anymore unless you don’t want the last name Flores anymore.

In other words, unless she severed her sibling relationship with him, he would not allow her to be with Raoul.

– Brother, you are too much! I have grown up and I have the right to love freely! What is the difference between you and the parents of feudal times…

Before she could finish speaking, Sebastian had already headed towards the entrance. He didn’t even wait for Roxane.

– It’s so early in the morning, but everyone is making it harder for me…

When Roxane came down, she saw that Sebastien had already left. Then she saw Christine’s red eyes and face twisted with anger, looking like she was about to cry. She came closer and asked, worried:

– What’s wrong ? Did you argue with your brother?

– Sister in law …

Christine felt like she had seen her savior when she saw Roxane. She hugged Roxane’s arm and said in a pleading tone:

– You must help me! If you don’t help me, I’ll cry in front of you…
