AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Deborah was a guest and she came with good intentions. No matter how much Christine disliked him, she had to suppress her dissatisfaction. Otherwise, if word got out, her education would be criticized, and Sebastian would also be criticized for not educating her. Therefore, she said superficially:

– THANKS. Please sit down.

Deborah nodded slightly and sat aside. She hugged Mathis while looking at Roxane and said:

– You are here too, Mrs. Flores.

Roxane smiles politely. However, she couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: “Are you only seeing me now?”

Deborah returned her eyes to Christine. In fact, she wasn’t close to Christine at all. The only connection they had was Sebastian, and it was a tenuous connection at best.

An awkward silence fell as the trio couldn’t find anything to talk about.

Mathis, who was sitting on Deborah, looked around mischievously. He couldn’t sit still and wanted to get off.

Deborah could not resist his struggles and had to let him go. She said softly:

– Don’t run everywhere.

Mathis pointed to the fruit basket and said:

-Mom, I want to eat.

– I’m going to wash the fruit, Roxane took the initiative to say before picking up the basket of fruit.

Christine was about to stop Roxane when Deborah stood up and said softly:

– Let me do it.

– It’s not necessary. You are a guest, after all, said Roxane, declining Deborah’s offer.

– Let me help you.

She was very insistent and followed Roxane into the kitchen.

Christine watched the duo leave. It was just her, Mathis, and Logan in the room now.

“Strange. She didn’t come to see me? Why did she leave with my sister-in-law?”

Christine bit her lip, feeling slightly worried. She took her phone from the bedside table and quickly sent a message to Sebastian.

Christine: SOS! Something big has happened! My sister-in-law came to visit me and Deborah also came to visit me!

She was staying in the VIP room, so her room was equipped with a small kitchen and a private bathroom. Since no cooking was done in the kitchen here, it was very clean.

Roxane took the fruit out of the fruit basket and placed it in the sink.

Deborah stood at the sink. As she washed the fruit, she said lightly:

– Mrs. Flores, I heard that you met Sebastien at your wedding.

It was no secret in M City that Roxane was abandoned by the groom on her wedding day. As long as you asked around you could find out.

Deborah was clearly mocking when she called Roxane ‘Mme Flores’. However, Roxane seemed unaware of Deborah’s meaning as she softly said:

– It’s true. At that time, I saw that he was handsome so I decided to fake a marriage with him to ease the embarrassment. I didn’t expect what was fake to become real in the end.

She was like an innocent young woman who ignored the ways of the world, speaking the truth about her love.

Deborah’s eyes flickered briefly before saying in a lower voice:

– Is it true? As for me, I met Sebastien before meeting Fernand. At that time, we were three classmates. We attended class every day and hung out after class every day. We were like the three musketeers. She stopped before turning to Roxane and asked with a slight smile on her face:Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

– I don’t think Sebastien told you, did he?

Roxane nodded.

– He doesn’t like to talk about the past, and I’m too lazy to ask. The most important thing for us is to live happily now and in the future. The past is the past, after all. It does not matter.

Deborah’s expression froze for a moment before smiling softly and saying:

-You have such a good attitude. No wonder Sebastien loves you.

– Really ? I also think it tastes really good! Roxane’s delicate face held a hint of pride as she smiled.

Deborah remained silent. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Roxane was completely different from what she had imagined, and she was even more different from what the rumors said.

Everyone said she was just an ordinary, happy, bright student. She was kind without complicated thoughts. At first, she thought so too. However, after two meetings, she felt this was not the case. Although Roxane seemed innocent, kind and cheerful, she could also be prickly, like now.

After a moment of silence, Deborah declared:

– I didn’t expect Sebastien to get married one day.

Roxane turned to look at her with clear eyes as she asked:

– For what?

“Because he doesn’t like interacting with the opposite sex, other than Christine and me,” Deborah said, placing the washed fruit on a plate. His fingers were thin and longer. They looked noble as if they had never been contaminated by mud. She continued to say:

– Fernand and I thought he was going to remain single for the rest of his life. We even thought about making our child his godson so that our son could take care of him in his old age.

These words didn’t sound like much at first, but Roxane felt uncomfortable listening to them. She pouted slightly before saying confidently:

– Don’t worry. In the future, I will give birth to Mr. Seb’s children. We feel too alone to only have one child. Two is a good number. Three is too many…

Deborah’s hands shook slightly and the apple in her hands fell. Her eyes held a hint of surprise as she asked:

– What did you call him?

She smiles innocently.

– Mr. Seb!

“Isn’t she trying to disgust me?” I can also disgust her!”

– Oh that’s right. No one dares to call him that. I’m the only one who can call it that…

-Who said my Mr. Seb would end up alone?

Deborah finally came to her senses after a long time. The smile on her face disappeared and her nails dug into the apple. However, her voice was still calm as she said:

– I didn’t expect Sebastien to have such a side to him.

– Well, it’s natural that you don’t know. That’s how he is after meeting his true love, after all…

‘See if I don’t irritate you to death!’

Deborah’s eyes darkened slightly.

– True love? I had something like that once too…

Roxane blinked.

– Fernand Lambert?

She had already asked Christine, and she had shown her a photo of Fernand. He was handsome and had very deep eyes. He appeared to be bi-racial. He had a kind of unforgettable beauty.

Deborah nodded slowly.

-You should have heard about certain things…

Roxane also nodded.

– I heard that you two were very much in love. For you, he did not hesitate to break ties with his family and renounced his rights as heir.

Deborah’s hands were soaked in cold tap water, but the coldness could not compare to the coldness of her heart. She said:

– Yes, we were very much in love. We would have already been married if Sebastien hadn’t called him for no reason that day…

Roxane’s expression froze as confusion flashed briefly in her eyes.

Deborah knew that no one would tell her the truth, so she decided to do it herself.

– Fernand was to accompany me to try on wedding dresses that day. However, Sebastien was in a bad mood that day, so he called Fernand. In the end, Fernand did not return.

Deborah’s voice was soft and her words seemed normal on the surface. However, every word was poisonous.

– Sebastien asked Fernand to go surfing with him. Something happened to Fernand at sea. Sebastien caused Fernand’s death. He caused the death of my fiance and the death of Mumu’s father.

The tap water continued to flow.

Deborah turned to look at Roxane. His gaze was calm and cruel as his red lips parted slightly. She said :

– He owes me, and he owes Mumu…
