AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When Sebastien returned to the barbecue restaurant, Roxane and Jessica had already finished eating. The two young women went to the store next door and bought ice cream and grapes. They were sitting by the window while they ate and talked.

Roxane looked at the people outside.

Everyone wore smiles on their faces, but who knew about the scars in their hearts?

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in the darkness. He looked brave and handsome. His eyes immediately lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

Jessica, who was talking, noticed that Roxane had become silent. Then, she saw the spring smile on his face before looking in the direction of Roxane’s gaze. She saw Sebastien open the door and enter.

She could no longer contain her joy. She stood up and rushed into his arms like a butterfly.

– Mr. Seb, you came to get me!

Sebastian’s body tilted slightly as she charged into his arms and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her slim waist before lowering his head and smelling her unique, feminine scent.

– Mmm, others have people who collect them. If I don’t come, I’m afraid someone will cry.

Roxane pouted.

– I will not cry !

Sebastian smiled slightly, reaching out to pat her head.

Jessica cringed as she watched the couple’s public display of affection. A touch of sourness also rose in his heart. Although she supported them, she felt like crying when she was forced to watch their display of love. However, she had to admit that the scene was very pleasant to watch.

Sebastien was an elite in the business world. He came from a rich and influential family. He stood on top of the world, proud and distant, but he was so gentle and loving towards the woman he loved.

“What kind of author can write such an outstanding character?

Roxane smiled and looked at him for a moment before finally remembering to ask:

– How is Mathis?

– He was sent to the hospital. Enzo is accompanying them, Sebastien simply replied with a slight smile on his face.

– Besides?

She was surprised.

Hearing Enzo’s name, the smile on Jessica’s face faded slightly. She picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of water. Her expression didn’t change as she silently listened to the duo’s conversation.

– Anyway, he has nothing better to do. It is good for him to accumulate merits by doing good deeds.

A smile appeared on Roxane’s delicate face as she said:

– Fortunately, my brother is not here to hear these words. Otherwise, he will start arguing with you again.

Sebastien pinched his nose lightly and said:This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

– You have no right to denounce me.

She smiled and nodded.

– I’m not going to swing. He would only go out for fun anyway if you didn’t call him. It’s very good too.

She was happy that he didn’t have to stay in the hospital to accompany Deborah and Mathis.

Sebastien’s heart was almost melted by her smile.

– Let’s go home.

Roxane nodded hastily. She seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Jessica.

Jessica was very tactful. She took the initiative and said:

– Go for it. I’ll come back alone.

– But you drank.

Jessica had had beer earlier, after all.

-Honey, I can hire designated drivers. Don’t worry. You can pay the driver, Jessica said, waving her phone.

Roxane nodded “okay” before waving at Jessica and leaving with Sebastien.

Jessica watched the couple’s silhouettes disappear into the crowd as her smile faded. Then, she took out her phone and opened her Wechat.

The first chat box belonged to Enzo.

Their last conversation was still stuck in a previous emoji war. In the end, she said she had to shower and go to bed, and Enzo responded with a triumphant emoji as if he had won the fight.

She typed a few words before deleting them again. She placed her phone on the table and leaned on it. Her eyes were filled with melancholy, loneliness, and longing as she looked at the couples holding hands outside the window.

– Enzo, you are a big idiot! The biggest idiot in the world.

Jessica’s words seemed to scold Enzo, but her tone seemed more like she was trying to convince herself of something.
