AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Enzo looked at Sebastien. ‘Hypocritical!’

Sebastien held Roxane’s hand and entered first.

Joel nudged his wife and asked:

– Hey, can you pinch me?

Sabrina looked at her husband suspiciously.

– For what?

– I think I’m dreaming that I’m Sebastien Flores’ father-in-law.

The corners of Sabrina’s lips twitched before she pinched her husband.

Joel immediately hissed in pain. He grimaced and said:

– Be nice. I am the father-in-law of the president of the Flores group, after all. I…

Sabrina intervened:Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

– I am the mother-in-law of the president of the Flores group.

-…

Sabrina glanced at her husband before saying with a laugh:

– Useless.

Joel put his arms around his wife’s shoulders, feeling refreshed for some reason.

– Girls are better. A son-in-law can be considered a half-son. He is much better than our son.

Sabrina nodded in agreement.

– It’s a hundred times better.

Enzo’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He really couldn’t bear to listen to his parents’ words anymore. He said:

– Hey, do you treat me like air? I am a living person standing next to you. Can you show me some respect?

Joel and Sabrina exchanged a look before looking at their son. Then, they shook their heads and sighed tacitly.

-…

Joel held his wife’s shoulders as he entered the hall. At the same time he asked:

– Why were you and Roxane crying earlier?

Sabrina said proudly:

– I’m not going to tell you. Why don’t you try to beg me?

-It’s not okay. I am now the father-in-law of Sebastien Flores, declared Joel, straightening his back with an expression of pride on his face.

– I am his mother-in-law…

– So… I’m going to beg Sebastien’s mother-in-law…

– Mmm, very good… replied Sabrina happily.

Enzo couldn’t bear to look at his parents or listen to them. He didn’t want to recognize the duo as his biological parents. At that moment, he did not realize the seriousness of the situation; his status in the family seemed to be in precarious situation.

…

Return to the mourning room.

Sabrina sat next to Roxane and held her hand while they talked. When old Mrs. Rios was mentioned, she said comfortingly:

– Don’t take his words to heart. There is not a single person in the Rios family who is not selfish.

Roxane nodded and muttered softly:

– I will not hold a grudge against a person who is at the end of their life…

However, she had no intention of seeing old Madame Rios again.

– What?

Sabrina asked. She didn’t hear Roxane’s words clearly.

Roxane shook her head.

– It’s nothing.

At the same moment, Sebastien’s hand, which was pouring a glass of fruit juice, stopped for a moment. The dark light in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Although he had been staying at the Alvarez family house for the past few days, he had returned to the Moon Pavilion once to pack his clothes.

The butler was worried so he asked about Roxane. He was also perplexed since the last time he saw her, she had rushed out of the house barefoot as soon as she woke up from her afternoon nap. There had been no calls or news from the Alvarez family and the hospital.

Upon discovering this, Sebastien couldn’t help but wonder. How did Roxane learn what happened to Old Madame Alvarez? It was like that time she found out about Christine. He realized that he had forgotten quite a few important details. Maybe one day he could find out what secrets she was hiding.

…

Sebastien hasn’t been to the company for the past few days, so he had a lot of things to take care of. However, he was worried about Roxane being home alone, but he didn’t want her to stay in the Alvarez family house. He wanted to bring her to the company with him but didn’t expect her to say she wanted to visit Diego in the hospital. For the first time, he wasn’t jealous or angry. He even took the initiative to send her to the hospital.

Because of his calmness, Roxane felt even more uncomfortable. Before getting out of the car, she explained to him:

– I am visiting Diego to break all ties with him and his family.

Sebastian nodded.

– I know. You don’t have to explain. Do I seem like a jealous and unreasonable person?

She bit her lip. Her bright eyes looked at him suspiciously and asked:

– Isn’t that the case?

-Who was the person who became irrationally jealous before?

-…

Sebastian glanced at his expensive and exquisite watch on his wrist and said:

-Hurry up and come back. Ten minutes. If it’s more than a second, I’m going to have someone throw it out the window.

-…

“What happened to being reasonable and not being jealous? Were you just saying those words to amuse yourself?”
