AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane stood up and saw a bowl of green vegetable noodles with a fried egg on top.

He placed the tray on the table before looking at the watch on his wrist. It wasn’t even midnight yet.

– Come and eat the longevity noodles.

Roxane walked towards the table and sat down. She looked at the bowl of noodles before looking at it and asked:

– Did you ask the chef to cook for me?

Sebastian’s eyes flickered for a moment. He didn’t even look at her as he said weakly:

– Hmm.

– THANKS.

She picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Roxane’s reaction did not escape Sebastien’s attention. He asked:

– What’s wrong?

She swallowed the food in her mouth before shaking her head.

– It’s nothing. It’s just that the noodles taste different than usual.

– Usually, the noodles the chef prepares are not so salty…

An unnatural expression quickly passed over Sebastien’s face. He cleared his throat and said calmly:

– Take your time to eat.

Then he stood up before heading towards the door. When his hand touched the doorknob, he thought of something. He turned to look at her and shouted

-Roxane…

– Hmm?

She looked at him, perplexed.

Sebastien’s eyes were warm as he said with a hint of tenderness in his voice:

– Happy birthday…

She was still in a trance after the door closed. His heart was like a pot of boiling water and his whole body was hot. After a long time, she put down the chopsticks and rubbed her round face with both hands, muttering to herself:

– Roxane Alvarez, pull yourself together. He only sees you as his friend’s sister.

…

Roxane was still awake at one in the morning. When she heard slight noises coming from downstairs, she became curious and went out to take a look.

She was surprised when she saw an annoyed Enzo lying on the couch. She hurried over and asked:

– Brother, why are you here?

Enzo looked at the ceiling with an expression of despair as he said:

– Do not ask. There’s no point in talking about it.

He didn’t need to say anything, but Roxane knew her brother must have been scolded by their parents.

Enzo had beaten Diego and was taken to the police station. The Rios family would definitely not let the matter go and would definitely complain to their parents.

Roxane also knew that her parents probably weren’t upset that Enzo beat Diego. They were angry because he had acted rashly. After all, if the Rios family pursued the matter, it would be embarrassing.

After pouring Enzo a glass of water, Roxane sat down next to him. She said:

-Who told you to beat people?

Enzo glanced at him and replied:

– Who do you think I beat him for? You are so heartless.

Roxane pushed the glass of water towards him before saying in a soft voice:

-I’m not saying you shouldn’t beat him, but you shouldn’t beat people in public. At the very least, you should do it in a dark, hidden place and put a burlap sack on it before giving it a good beating. At that time, even if he wanted to file a police report, he would not be able to name the culprit.

Coincidentally, Sebastien, who had just come down, heard these words. He had thought Roxane was innocent and obedient, who knew she had such a side to her?

Meanwhile, Enzo’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard Roxane’s words. He said with praise:

– Roxane, you are really intelligent. Okay, I’ll do that next time.

Sebastian’s eyebrows twitched. “This pair of brothers and sisters! One dares to say it, and the other dares to listen!”

Roxane:

-…

“I was just talking casually! Why are you taking this so seriously?”

At this moment, a cold and deep voice sounded in the air.

– Do you really want the Flores Corporation legal team to search for you at the police station?

The brother and sister pair immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw Sebastian walking.
