AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

“Thank you,” Roxane said with a smile on her face.

– Open it ! See if you like it, Jessica urged.

Under Jessica’s enthusiastic gaze, Roxane unwrapped the gift box. She asked :

“Please don’t tell me you gave me something strange.

– How is it possible ? “It’s a gift I meticulously prepared for you,” Jessica protested.

When she saw the foreign brand of paint in the box, her eyes immediately lit up.

– This brand is difficult to find here! I tried looking for them several times, but couldn’t find them. Jessi, you managed to buy it!

Jessica said proudly:Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

– Don’t you know who I am? How can something like this be difficult for a person like me?

She hugged Jessica, feeling touched. Then she said:

-Jessi, you are the best! You must have put in a lot of effort to buy this!

Jessica said casually:

– Not really. It only took me two days. I flew overseas and found over ten stores that sold this brand of paint. The important thing is that you like it! As long as you like it, it will be worth the trip.

Roxane looked at Jessica and said very seriously:

-Thank you, Jessi.

Although she hadn’t known Jessica for long, she could tell that she was very sincere.

Jessica wasn’t very used to emotional displays, so she laughed it off and said:

– Okay, don’t look at me like that! Are you trying to seduce me? Alas, no matter how much you seduce me, I cannot marry you.

Roxane scoffed.

-Who tried to seduce you? Absurdity!

When she lifted the painting, she saw a few light pink books underneath. The books were clearly aimed at a female audience.

– What is this?

A sly expression appeared on Jessica’s face as she said:

– I saw this while I was buying your gift. I bought a few to broaden your horizons…

– Are these illustration books? asked Roxane, taking a book and leafing through it. The next moment, his cheeks immediately turned red. She asked embarrassedly:

– Jessi, why did you buy me this!?

Jessica wore a wicked smile on her face as she said:

– What’s wrong? You are already 20 years old. You’re old enough to watch these kinds of movies, let alone read this kind of interesting manga.

– I’m not going to read them. You can bring them back and read them yourself, Roxane said, pushing the books towards Jessica. She had never watched a movie or read books or manga about it. Therefore, she was very shy when presented with such things.

Jessica replied nonchalantly:

– I have already read it.

Roxane:

-?

Jessica smiled as she made a peace sign and said:

– I bought two sets. Naturally I have to share such good things with my best friend!

“Thank you, but that’s not necessary,” Roxane said hastily. It would be embarrassing if his family saw it. Moreover, she now lived with Sebastien.

– Just keep them. They might come in handy one day, Jessica said. After pushing the box aside, she asked:

-Did you invite your brother?

– Yes, he will join us after work, replied Roxane,

– You know I don’t have many friends so it’s a waste for you to book such a big room.

Jessica put her arm around Roxane’s shoulder and said:

-Nonsense! It’s good to have fewer people, but you can’t be cramped in a small space. Otherwise, that annoying Mina Rios or Diego Rios might make fun of you if they find out!

– I don’t care what other people say or think.

Just when Roxane’s voice fell, the door of the room was suddenly opened.

After that, a gentle voice rang through the air.

– You you…

Jessica stood up immediately. She moved to stand in front of Roxane, protecting her, before swearing out loud:

– F*ck! Speak of the devil! What are you doing here?
