AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane couldn’t refuse because of Sebastien’s dominating aura. She obediently walked to the sofa and sat down. Just as she was about to raise her head to look at him, he reached down with a cotton swab.

For a moment, the duo looked at each other silently. They were so close they could feel each other’s breath.

Roxane gulped as she blinked her big, innocent eyes at him as her heart beat uncontrollably.

Sebastien was the first to react and calmly averted his gaze towards the damp hair resting on his forehead. Then, he reached out and brushed the hair to the side before carefully removing the bandage and throwing it in the trash.

Roxane’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked down. Her blonde fingers were clenched tightly as if she were holding back with all her strength.

Sebastian was afraid of hurting him so he gently applied the medicine and blew on it as if he were treating a child.

When his warm breath hit her forehead, it also stirred something in her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down. After a moment, she glanced at him.

His face, which usually had a cold expression, looked softer under the yellow lights. His expression was serious and his lips were slightly pursed. He truly looked as if he had descended from the heavens into the mortal world.

At this moment, a few blurry and chaotic images flashed through his mind. His heart immediately sank as a familiar feeling surged through his heart. She closed her eyes, trying to get a better look at the images, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see them clearly.

Sebastien threw the cotton swab in the trash before applying a new bandage. Seeing that his expression was not correct, he asked

– What’s wrong ? Did I hurt you?

She opened her eyes and saw his worried look. She shook her head.

– No, I just had a feeling of deja vu. It felt like it had happened before.

Sebastien didn’t respond as he tightened the cap on the medicine bottle.

Roxane asked curiously:

-Have we met before?

Enzo and Sebastien were good friends. She thought they must have met before. She wondered if she had forgotten it because of her bad memory.

Sebastien put down the medicine bottle and stopped for a moment. He didn’t answer her. Instead he said:

– Dry your hair and rest early.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the room.

Roxane fell into a daze, biting her lower lip. After a moment, she whispered:

-Have we really not met before? That feeling earlier was really familiar…

…

Roxane rested at home for a week. Her wound had healed very well and she no longer needed bandages. Just like the doctor said, it didn’t leave a scar.

After having breakfast with Sebastian, she was about to leave for her classes when she saw an orange convertible sports car parked outside.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Enzo, who was wearing a floral shirt, was sitting in the sports car. When he saw her coming out, he took off his sunglasses and waved enthusiastically.

-Hello, my dear sister!

Roxane:

-…

Suddenly, she was overcome with the urge to pretend she didn’t know him, especially since Sebastian was standing next to her.

He didn’t react at all when looking at the ostentatious young man. There was even a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Roxane prepared herself before stepping forward and asking:

– Brother, what are you doing here?

Enzo didn’t open the car door. Instead, he tried to jump out of the car. Unfortunately, his legs were too long, and one of them caught the steering wheel.

Bam!

Failing to act cool, he crashed to the ground. Only one word could express his feeling at that moment: embarrassed. Sebastian:

-…

Roxane:

-…

-Send help! Can someone please take my brother?

After Enzo got up, he quickly touched his face and said:

– It’s good, it’s good. Don’t worry. Luckily, I’m a naturally handsome guy. Even though I fell, I still look pretty cool.

Roxane felt even more embarrassed when she heard this. She pulls herself together and supports him. She gathered the last shred of their sisterly love before asking:

– Brother, are you okay?

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Enzo said, waving his hand, pretending not to look affected,

– It’s my fault I have a bad memory. I forgot that I have very long legs. What a nice problem to have, eh?

Roxane:

-…

“You don’t have to say anything. The more you say, the more awkward and embarrassing it becomes.”

Sebastian, who was quietly watching the show, smiled slightly at this time and said:

– I’ll take my leave first.

When Sebastian’s gaze passed Enzo, his expression seemed to say “I don’t want to bother with you anymore.”

Enzo frowned and said sadly:

-What’s going on with your expression? Are you kidding me?

Sebastien did not waste his time answering such a question. He leaned down and got into the black car.

Enzo turned to look at Roxane and asked:

– He was making fun of me, wasn’t he? What’s so funny? He’s just jealous that I bought a new car.

Roxane’s lips twitched. “He’s richer than you, okay?

Outwardly, she pulled on her brother’s sleeve and asked:

– Brother, when did you get a new car?

“Just recently,” Enzo said proudly, raising his chin.

– Where did you get so much money? She asked. After that, her eyes widened as she continued to ask:

– Brother, did you steal money from mom and dad? If Dad finds out, he’ll break your legs.

Enzo gently patted her forehead and said:

-What nonsense are you thinking of? My annual salary is more than one million. It’s just a sports car; It’s not a big deal.

“Oh, then why are you still asking me for money?”

She glanced at Enzo, thinking he must have spent all his savings on the car.

He smiles shyly. He placed his arm around her shoulders as he quickly changed the subject.

– Let’s go. I’m going to send you to college.

Roxane pulled her brother’s arm away before saying hesitantly:

– I’ll ask the driver to take me there. It’s… too ostentatious.

-How ostentatious is that?

He asked as he gently pushed Roxane into the car. Then he said:

– Let Brother show you what speed and passion mean!

Roxane:

-…

– Thank you, but it’s not necessary!

Half an hour later, the orange sports car stopped in front of M City University.

Roxane, who felt like she had died earlier, rushed out of the car. – Goodbye, brother!

-Why are you in such a hurry? Don’t forget your belongings.

He took his bag out of the car.

Roxane turned around and took the bag from him when she heard him say:

– I’ll come pick you up after your classes are over.

She hurriedly said:

– No need, no need.

Enzo frowned. He was about to teach his sister a lesson when he heard someone say exaggeratedly from the side:

-Wow, Enzo Alvarez! Did you rob a bank?

Enzo looked at Jessica, who was walking towards him, and retorted:

– It was you who robbed a bank! Can’t you speak properly?

Jessica pursed her lips before asking Roxane:

– Roxane, are you okay? How is your injury?

She nodded.

– I’m doing well. It’s good.

Enzo put his sunglasses back on. His entire person radiated with a pretentious aura as he said:

– Okay, I’m going to leave my Roxane to you now. Bye.

“Okay, I won’t see you,” Jessica said. She didn’t even bother to spare him a glance, fearing that her pretentious act would blind him.

Enzo reached out to pat Roxane on the head before leaving in his car.

Jessica watched the flamboyant young man walk away and said mockingly:

– He is really too pretentious and ostentatious!

Now that Enzo was gone, Roxane breathed a sigh of relief inside, then she turned to Jessica and asked:

– You didn’t love him before?
