AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Fernand had received the news and also rushed. He was dressed in his gray pajamas and was not wearing his glasses. His gaze was icy as he said to the bodyguards at the door:

– Let me in!

The bodyguards at the door dutifully arrested Fernand.

“Let him in,” said Sebastien.

With that, the bodyguards moved to the side.

He rushed into the room. He saw the woman lying on the bed, her eyes closed, as if she were sleeping. He walked towards the bed step by step. For him, she was just an excuse to break his ties with the Lambert family before. With this, he could do whatever he wanted without the Lambert family watching his every move. When he found out that she had given birth to a son for him, he didn’t feel much. He thought he would simply compensate him in the future. It was beyond her expectations that she was terminally ill. He also didn’t expect that she would refuse to see him until he died.

He thought Deborah was strange. She clearly loved him and even gave birth to his son despite the difficulties that lay ahead. However, when he returned, she did not want to forgive him.

He looked at her face, which had been tormented by her illness until she was no longer beautiful. He lowered his head and smiled with a hint of bitterness.

– This woman is pitiful and stupid…

After a while he asked:ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

-Did she leave any last words?

No emotion could be detected on Fernand’s face and voice at this moment.

“No,” Sebastien replied.

Fernand expected it. He stepped forward and leaned down to kiss her cold forehead. In the past, when they were together, she liked it the most when he kissed her like this. At that time she told him:

-Every time you kiss me like that, I feel like I’m your most precious treasure.

In the past, when he heard these words, he only smiled. He didn’t shatter the beautiful dream he created for her. Now that she was gone, he would weave a beautiful dream for her one last time.

When Mathis saw Fernand kissing Deborah’s forehead, he suddenly reached out and pushed Fernand away. He cried :

– You have no right to touch my mother! You are a bad person! You’re the one who caused my mother’s death! You are a bad person!

From Mathis’ point of view, his mother had always been good. It was after Fernand’s appearance that her mother fell ill and left her. At that moment, all his grief turned into anger, and the anger was directed at Fernand.

Fernand’s pajamas were soiled by Mathis’ kicks. He frowned slightly and his Adam’s apple rolled a few times. In the end, he didn’t stop Mathis’ punches and kicks. After all, Mathis had lost his mother on whom he had relied his entire life. His reaction was understandable and normal. Besides, he was her son.

Finally, Enzo came over and hugged Mathis.

– Shh, your mother is sleeping. Don’t wake her. Let her sleep.

Mathis froze for a moment. Then, he turned to hug Enzo and cried until he was out of breath. His face was red and he cried until he lost consciousness.

…

In the end, Fernand was the one who organized Deborah’s funeral. He had been with her for some time in the past, so he knew her wishes. He was very attentive during the preparations. He chose the best cemetery in M City with the best location for her; annual maintenance costs were in the millions.

After Deborah left, Mathis was brought back to the Moon Pavilion by Sebastian.

Compared to the lively and mischievous person before, he was now withdrawn and taciturn. Even when Roxane cooked for him, he could only eat a few bites. In just a few days, he had visibly lost weight.

Even Enzo, who always scolded Mathis, didn’t have the heart to do it now.

Deborah had already written her will. All assets under his name were left to Mathis. Due to Mathis’ young age, Sebastien was appointed guardian. Mathis’s daily expenses and education funds had also been arranged. Apart from that, she had also signed a document which granted Sebastien and Roxane custody of Mathis.

After the lawyer finished reading the will, he placed the document that Deborah had signed in front of Sebastien and Roxane. He said :

– President Flores, Mrs. Flores, as long as you sign this, you will have custody of Mathis.
