AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Jessica received Roxane’s message, she didn’t even put on makeup. She only changed into a dress before coming. As soon as she sat down, she said sarcastically:

-Did the sun set in the east today? You, who favor men over friends, actually remembered me!

Roxane quickly poured Jessica a glass of beer and said:

-When did I forget you? It’s just that too many things have happened recently.

Jessica knew that Roxane’s grandmother had died and that something seemed to have happened to Christine recently. Her complaints were mainly to tease Roxane, and she didn’t hold a grudge at all. She said :

– Look at your smiling face! I don’t need to ask to know that you must be having a good time with Sebastian.

‘Forget. As long as she’s happy, it’s fine.’

– Certainly not!

Roxane denied it immediately. She rolled up her sleeve and showed Jessica her arm before saying:

– I had a car accident and injured my arm. I recovered.

– Car accident?!

Jessica’s expression became solemn immediately. She looked at the scar on Roxane’s arm and asked:

– Wasn’t it Christine who was involved in a car accident? Were you in the car too?! Why didn’t you tell me?!

Roxane rolled up her sleeves before saying with a slight smile:

“I didn’t want you to worry. Besides, I’m fine now.

She decided to tell Jessica now because she didn’t want her to find out from another person in the future. At that time, she would definitely be sad and misunderstand her.

Jessica wanted to pat Roxane’s arm but quickly changed to pat her shoulder. She says :

-In the future, you must speak to me immediately about such a big matter. Don’t hide it from me. Otherwise, I will be angry with you!

Roxane nodded.

-Okay, I promise to tell you immediately in the future.

– It’s more like that.

She removed her hand and took a large sip from her drink.

– By the way, how is Christine?

Roxane’s eyes immediately darkened as she said with a hint of despondency:

– She is seriously injured. She may not be able to get up again in the future.

Jessica was stunned. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes. She rested her chin on one hand while she played with the beer glass with the other hand. She says :

– She’s lucky to have survived the accident. Plus, Raoul is with her now. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of his wish.

– But she’s only 18! She will have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, Roxane said. She felt distressed when she thought of such a bright and beautiful young girl having to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Jessica didn’t want Roxane to be sad, so she cleverly changed the subject and asked:

– Oh okay. Where is your Mr. Seb? Is he in the hospital?

Jessica thought that Sebastien must have gone to the hospital to take care of Christine since he was not with Roxane.

“Mathis is sick so he went to see,” Roxane replied.

– Mathis? ! Deborah Holt’s son?!

She exclaimed in shock.

Roxane nodded.

– That’s right.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

– She still harasses Sebastien? She hit the table angrily, saying:

– Does she have no feeling of shame? Doesn’t she know that Sebastien is married? She still harasses him. She’s really too cheeky!

The loud slap attracted everyone’s attention.

Roxane hastened to assure Jessica.

“Jessi, calm down. I’m not angry so don’t be angry, okay? It’s not good for your health.

She looked at her with a disappointed expression.

-You’re not angry because you’re stupid! This hypocrite is trying to seduce your man. How can you still want to eat?

Someone wanted to ruin the couple she helped marry. How could she not be angry?

– Don’t worry. Even if she is the greatest beauty in the world, she still won’t be able to seduce my Mr. Seb, Roxane said confidently.

Jessica leaned back and looked at Roxane.

– Do you have so much confidence in your Mr. Seb?

– Mmm.

A smile appeared on her delicate face as she said:

– I trust Mr. Seb. If he loves Deborah, they would have been together for a long time. How could it be my turn?

She had met Sebastien later than Deborah after all. If these two loved each other, they would have been together and not waited until now.

Jessica thought about it for a moment before saying:

– But she called Sebastien at this time of night, she’s obviously trying to get you in trouble!

Women knew women best.

Roxane knew, but she didn’t care. She ate with relish, saying:

“I don’t care if she keeps trying. After all, Mr. Seb doesn’t even show him a good expression. She’s causing trouble for herself, not me.
