Chapter 82: Can I sue you?
Sebastien had been running the Flores family business for some time now, and he also had to deal with several of his cunning relatives. He had long ago developed a pair of eyes that could see through people’s hearts. As soon as he heard Roxane’s question, he immediately understood what she meant. He could even predict her reactions based on her response. After all, she was as clean as a blank canvas. All his thoughts were visible on his face.
Sebastian’s thick eyelashes fluttered slightly as his Adam’s apple rolled several times. He felt like his heart had been dipped in hot water. After a short while, he finally responded:
– No.
He wanted to see what she was going to do next. The ball seemed to be in his court, but in this game of love, he was the winner who was in control.
Roxane’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard his answer. She looked at him expectantly as his smile deepened, revealing his adorable dimples. She asked softly:
-So, can I sue you?
Sebastian assumed she would confess and demand they be together. He didn’t expect her to say she wanted to pursue him. She always seemed to be afraid of causing trouble or burdening others. Even his confession was so careful. Or maybe she didn’t think he would fall in love with her.
He didn’t want her to be so careful. He wanted her to express her feelings openly without fear, simply and passionately confessing her love for him. His dark eyes burned as he asked in a low voice:
– Do you love me ?
Roxane’s cheeks became even redder. She looked down shyly. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but she didn’t want to deny it either. Finally, she only nodded.
Sebastian’s heart had long been surging with wild emotions, but his face did not reveal his feelings at all. He was like a hunter luring his prey into the trap he had set step by step. His voice held a hint of laughter and teasing as he said:
– It’s very difficult to pursue me. What if you fail?
– Uh…
She was stunned by his words. After a moment, she stammered:
-Is this… Is this really difficult?
Perhaps he was worried that she would change her mind, he said:
– Well, that depends on how you pursue me…
Roxane immediately frowned. She pouted before saying softly in an annoyed tone:
– I, I don’t know how to pursue you… I, I haven’t thought about it yet…
He gently pinched her face before asking:
-So how did you pursue Diego?Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He knew that at this moment and in this kind of atmosphere, he shouldn’t have mentioned such an unpleasant subject. However, his curiosity and his concerns got the better of him. After all, she had loved Diego before and almost married him.
Roxane was stunned. After a moment she said:
– I didn’t pursue him.
Ever since she was young, everyone told her that Diego was her fiance. She had loved him too. Under such circumstances, they were together by default. There was no lawsuit involved. However, he had always been cold and distant towards her, so she took the initiative to invite him to dinners and movies. If he were in a good mood, he would agree. Most of the time, he used work as an excuse to refuse her. To outsiders, it seemed like she was stalking him and really liked him.
At this moment, Sebastian held her chin with his slender fingers, forcing her to look at him before asking:
“Did he kiss you?”
Everyone had a beast locked in a cage in their heart. Once the cage is unlocked, it would be difficult to recycle the beast. The beast would lunge, causing them to lose control of themselves.
