AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Diego’s body trembled slightly. When he turned around, a hint of impatience showed in his eyes as if he were looking at a willful child who was misbehaving. He says :

– You, stop being an idiot. I will come back after I have sorted out Leila’s matter. At that time, I promise our wedding will be grander. I…

This time, she didn’t wait for Diego to finish his words. She intervened:

“If you leave now to get her, we’ll have to break up.

Although Roxane’s voice was slightly nasal from her tears, it was firm and resolute. Even though she loved Diego and was happy to be able to marry him, that didn’t mean he could trample her love like that. There was no love in this world worth compromising one’s pride and dignity for.

“Let’s talk about this when I get back,” Diego said before entering the elevator.

He pressed the button to close the doors without any hesitation.

As the elevator doors closed, the corners of his lips lifted in a disdainful smile.

– To break up? Are you really ready to break up with me when you love me so much?

Roxane watched Diego leave as her heart grew cold. Finally, the tears she had been holding back flowed down her beautiful face. Although they were about to get married, she still couldn’t compare herself to her ex-girlfriend.

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall opened.

A curly-haired woman wearing a dark red traditional outfit came out. Although her makeup was thick, it could not hide the wrinkles on her face. When she looked at Roxane, there was a hint of contempt in her eyes. She asked:

– Where is Diego?

If it weren’t for the promise between the two old ladies of the Alvarez family and the Rios family back then, how could she allow her son to marry a rural thug?

Roxane looked down and said:

– He left.

Mrs. Rios was stunned.

Before she reacted, Roxane continued to say:

– He went to look for Leila Byrd.

Hearing this name, Madam Rios’ eyes flashed. She didn’t feel sorry for Roxane at all. On the contrary, she says reproachfully:

-What kind of woman are you? You can’t even stop your man from leaving on your wedding day. You are so useless that you even allow him to find another woman.

At this time, a young girl in a pink dress, who had just approached, said:

– Not only is she not beautiful, but she is also uneducated. How can she compare to Leila Byrd? It’s natural that Brother doesn’t like his girlfriend.

The girl in the pink dress was Diego’s sister, Mina Rios. Before Roxane returned to M City, she was the little princess of the Rios family. She was also old Mrs. Rios’ favorite granddaughter. However, after Roxane returned, the old Madame constantly compared her to Roxane and complained that she was inferior to Roxane in every aspect. This naturally made him hate Roxane.

Roxane blinked. His eyes weren’t as cloudy as before. Due to her fair skin, her eyes appeared darker and her lips appeared redder. At this moment, she suddenly said:

– I’m not his girlfriend.

– What?

– We broke up, Roxane declared clearly, looking at Madame Rios without flinching,

– He picked up his ex-girlfriend on our wedding day, so I broke up with him. There is no more engagement or marriage between us.

Previously, she had already prepared herself mentally. She told herself she would be married to Diego, not her mother. Plus, they wouldn’t live with his mother, so it didn’t matter what kind of person his mother was. She just had to endure it. Now she didn’t have to put up with it anymore.

Madam Rios’ expression immediately darkened. She said with a sneer:

“You’re just a country thug. It’s the fortune you’ve accumulated over eight lifetimes that Diego is even willing to marry you. You’re ugly and stupid, but you always pretend to be otherwise. As you would expect from someone raised by an old lady in the country. Your education is really bad!

Mina intervened:

“That dead old lady used her death to force my brother to marry you. It’s not like we’re that close and…

Before Mina finished speaking, Roxane’s expression changed as she coldly interjected:

– Watch your words. It’s okay if you insult me, but don’t drag my grandmother into this.

She was raised by her grandmother since she was young. For this reason, his grandmother was his weak point. She would not allow anyone to insult her grandmother.

Madame Rios and Mina were stunned by Roxane’s sudden and imposing manner. However, when they came to their senses, they remembered that she was just a country bumpkin. What was there to fear?

Madam Rios straightened her back and raised her chin, saying arrogantly:Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

– What ? Are you going to hit me? I knew it. A boor like you has no manners at all. No wonder Diego despises you. Do you dare to hit me? Why don’t you hit me? If you dare to hit me, Diego will surely deal with you when he returns.

As Madam Rios spoke, she suddenly reached out and pushed Roxane’s shoulder.

Caught off guard by the thrust, Roxane’s three-inch heels caught on the hem of her white fishtail dress, causing her to lose her balance and fall backwards.
