AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Enzo inhaled sharply. No wonder his sister acted like she couldn’t see him.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and said:

– Hurry up and help her peel the apple.

Enzo frowned.

– I do not know how.

Sebastien looked at him with skepticism and disdain.

-Why would I know how to peel an apple? He said righteously.

Sebastien quickly took a knife and headed towards the trash before starting to peel the apple.

At the same time, Roxane kept repeating the same thing; she took out an apple and looked for a knife. When she couldn’t find a knife, she put the apple back in the refrigerator before starting all over again.

Enzo held the knife holder in his arms as he looked at Roxane with his phoenix eyes. His eyes stung as he looked at her.

Sebastien, who was peeling the apple, looked at Roxane with concern from time to time, fearing that she might hurt herself. After a while he asked:

-Has she ever sleepwalked?

Enzo came to his senses and shook his head.

At this moment, Sebastien rushed towards the refrigerator. When she opened the refrigerator again to take out the apple, he quickly placed the peeled apple in her hand.

Roxane froze for a long time.

Enzo asked with concern:

– Will this method work?

Sebastian wasn’t sure either, but he didn’t show it on his face. No matter what, he wouldn’t let her touch the knife in this state.

Luckily, it wasn’t long before she came out of the kitchen with the peeled apple in her hand, no longer looking for a knife.

Enzo and Sebastien breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

– Put away the knives. Also lock the kitchen, just in case.

Enzo nodded.

– I know.

Roxane went up the stairs, but she didn’t return to her room. Instead, halfway up the stairs, she turned and sat down. Then she lowered her head and began to eat the apple.

It was said that sleepwalkers should not be woken up. It was better to let them return to bed naturally.

Sebastien did not dare to approach her. He stood a short distance away from her and observed her. He felt helpless. Although he had wealth, he could do nothing to ease the pain of losing a loved one.

Enzo walked over and leaned against the railings. After taking out a cigarette and lighting it, he took a deep breath. Then he looked at Sebastien and asked:

– Do you want a?

Sebastien was not addicted to cigarettes or alcohol. In the past, he occasionally consumed one or two cigarettes. However, after reuniting with Roxane, he no longer touched them. He knew that women didn’t like the smell of cigarettes. However, tonight he couldn’t help it. He reached out and took a cigarette from Enzo. His defined fingers held the cigarette as he brought it to his lips to take a drag.

Wisps of smoke lingered around the two men like a cloud of sadness that could not be dissipated.

Enzo exhaled a cloud of smoke before asking in a slightly hoarse voice:

– Do you know why she is eating an apple now?

Sebastian didn’t say anything, but his eyes looked at Enzo, waiting for the answer.

-In the past, whenever I bullied her, she would be so sad. Every time our grandmother peeled an apple for her to eat, Enzo said with red, watery eyes,

– I don’t know if this girl is stupid or just too easy to coax, but every time our grandmother gave her an apple, she was happy again.

Sebastien felt his throat tighten. He remained silent as he looked at Roxane with a look that contained both darkness and light. It was clear to him that what interested him was not the apple, but the attention and love that his grandmother showed him. The death of his grandmother must have triggered this episode of sleepwalking. Perhaps she was seeking her grandmother’s care and love in her sleep.

Enzo sighed deeply and asked:

– Can sleepwalking be cured?

From what he knew, there would definitely be more episodes, especially after being stimulated.

Sebastian frowned. He said in a cold and hoarse voice:

– Don’t tell anyone about what happened this evening.

Roxane was already sad enough because of his grandmother’s death, he didn’t want to add to her burden.

-Aren’t you going to tell him? Enzo was stunned. Then he said sadly:

– Do you know how dangerous it is? Tonight she only eats one apple. What if she tried to jump out the window or accidentally cut herself with a knife or…

Sebastien’s gaze was like a knife as he looked at Enzo and intervened:

-I won’t let that happen. I’ll keep an eye on her…

Enzo snorted.

– My grandmother is lying there. She can hear what you say. If you don’t keep your promise, she won’t let you go.

Sebastian looked at Enzo as if he were looking at a fool.

Meanwhile, Roxane didn’t seem to hear the two men’s conversation at all. When only the core of the apple remained, it went back down.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Sebastian and Enzo quickly moved to the side as she walked over to the trash can and threw the apple core away.

Enzo’s eyes were red as he laughed softly.

– My Roxane from my family is so good. Even when she sleepwalks, she doesn’t litter.

Sebastien raised an eyebrow.

– Your Roxane?

Enzo raised his chin proudly.

– Of course! If not, is she related to you?

Sebastien said with disdain:

– She signed a 100-year marriage contract with me, and we are legally married. In the future, she will have my children. When we are both old, we will be buried together. Which family do you think she belongs to?

Without waiting for Enzo’s response, Sebastien followed Roxane upstairs.

Enzo couldn’t help but swear:

– Whore ! You are a son of a bitch, you tricked a young girl into signing a 100 year marriage contract, and you are still shameless enough to mention it!

Meanwhile, a slight smile appeared on Sebastian’s lips as he looked at the slender figure. It didn’t matter, as long as she was with him, it was enough. He would do anything in his power to help her.

Roxane returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. Her movements were mechanical as she covered herself with her blanket and closed her eyes, continuing to sleep.

Sebastien took out some wet wipes and gently took her hands. Seeing that she didn’t react, he slowly cleaned her hands. After that, he lowered his head and gently kissed her hands. His voice was almost inaudible as he whispered:

– Do not be afraid. Your world will not collapse. I will be there to support you.
