Chapter 2 31: What is happening?
It was human nature to intimidate the weak and fear the strong, after all.
Roxane looked down and remained silent for a moment. Then she said in a low voice:
– Unless my grandmother comes back to life…
If her grandmother couldn’t come back to life, then she wouldn’t give in.
In the end, Old Madam Rios could only leave disappointed.
Sebastien held Roxane’s hand and was about to go in when Sabrina came out. She asked anxiously:
-Roxy, are you okay? That old lady from the Rios family didn’t bother you, did she?
Sabrina had only discovered that old Madame Rios was here. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed Roxane to come out and meet her.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Roxane looked at her mother’s anxious and worried expression, and she felt warmth fill her heart. Her grandmother was right. There were still many people who loved him. She was still a child who was loved.
“Mom, I’m fine,” said Roxane. She let go of Sebastien’s hand and moved forward to kiss Sabrina. She said in tears:
“Mom, I’m sorry for worrying you and Dad.
Sabrina was stunned by Roxane’s embrace, and her whole body stiffened for a moment. Mothers and their children usually had a deep bond. At this moment, she seemed to understand something. She hurriedly hugged Roxane as her eyes reddened as well. She says :
– Stupid child, you don’t need to apologize to mom. There are no parents in the world who don’t worry about their own children…
Roxane tightened her embrace saying:
-Mom, I promise to live well in the future. I won’t let you and Dad worry!
– Mmm, replied Sabrina, unable to hold back her tears,
– As long as you are well, mom and dad will be comfortable.
When Roxane heard Sabrina crying, she couldn’t hold back her tears either.
– Mmm, our family will be fine and will continue to live well!
The mother and daughter hugged each other while crying.
Sebastien, who was standing nearby, felt extremely complicated. “It’s not easy for me to persuade her to stop crying. Mother-in-law, are you going to make her cry like this?”
Joel and Enzo came out at that time. When they saw the two women crying, they were alarmed and hurriedly asked:
– What’s wrong ? What’s wrong? Did the old lady from the Rios family make things difficult for you?
Sabrina wiped away her tears and shook her head.
– No it is nothing.
Enzo looked at the two women suspiciously.
-If it’s nothing, then why are you crying? Grandma has already been buried, so why are you still crying?
“What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?” Sabrina said, hitting her son’s head.
Enzo rubbed his head in pain.
– I didn’t say anything bad.
Sabrina said with a disappointed expression:
-Why did I give birth to you? It’s good that I gave birth to you, but why did I give birth to a son with such a mouth? Maybe if I had given birth to a mute, I would be a grandmother now…
Didn’t that mean Enzo was single because of his poisonous mouth? His expression darkened. How could his mother say such a thing?
– What is going on?
Joel didn’t care whether his son’s mouth was poisoned or not. He was only concerned about why his wife and daughter were crying.
Sebastien wiped Roxane’s tears before saying:
– It’s nothing. Mom and Roxane only cried tears of joy.
All four members of the Alvarez family froze immediately when they heard the word ‘Mom’.
Enzo reacted first. He couldn’t help but swear:
– Whore ! What a shameless old dog!
When Roxane came back to her senses, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
As for Sabrina, her feelings became a little complicated when she came to her senses. Originally, Sebastien and Roxane’s marriage was just an agreement. Now that old Mrs. Alvarez was gone, they could go their separate ways. Logically speaking, nothing linked them anymore. However, he and Roxane were now truly together. She felt that this matter was even more ridiculous than the novels she had read.
At the end she said:
– This… Since you and Roxane aren’t really married, there’s no rush to call me ‘Mom,’ Sabrina said. After all, the disparity between the two families was too great.
Sebastien helped Roxane wipe her tears. He rolled the piece of fabric in his hand before casually dropping another bomb.
– Roxane and I have already registered our marriage. I’m sorry I forgot to let you know.
Joel and Sabrina froze as their eyes fell between Sebastien and Roxane. They remained speechless for a long time.
Enzo rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and swore under his breath:
– Species of dog !
Roxane looked slightly troubled. She said shyly:
– I’m sorry, mom, dad. I didn’t tell you before…
At that time, she had registered her marriage with Sebastien to resolve the crisis. She thought they would divorce in a year. She didn’t want her parents to worry so she didn’t tell them anything. However, it seemed that it would not be practical to divorce now. It would be quite awkward if they were to remarry in the future.
Joel coughed lightly. He pretended to be calm, saying:
– Today is mom’s funeral. Let’s not talk about that for now. We’ll talk about this later.
“Dad is right,” said Sebastien, immediately agreeing. He seemed like a good son-in-law at the moment.
Joel’s back couldn’t help but immediately straighten upon hearing these words. “The president of the Flores group addressed me as “dad”. In fact, he called me ‘Daddy’. I’m fucking awesome!”
