AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien met Roxane’s deer eyes. The love in his heart surged, and it overflowed. However, since Logan was here, he swallowed the words that were hanging on the tip of his tongue. Finally he said:

– Because someone told me to wait before leaving. She said she would continue to pursue me after she returned. I’m afraid that if I don’t pick her up and save her, it will be difficult for her to pursue me later.

Roxane’s expression became awkward as she stuttered:

-I, I, I can solve the problem even if you don’t come. I am actually quite capable…

Sebastien stroked her hair several times before saying:

– Mm, very good. But why did your eyes turn red as soon as you saw me?

– I …

She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She didn’t know how to explain.

Before Sebastian appeared, she was doing pretty well. She didn’t panic, she wasn’t afraid, and she didn’t feel wronged. However, as soon as she saw it, she couldn’t help but feel wronged. She wanted to hug him and cry.

Sebastien smiled slightly, He said as if coaxing a child:

-If you want to cry, cry. I won’t make fun of you.

Roxane wasn’t feeling well, to begin with. Sebastien thought it was natural if she wanted to cry. If she cried, he would find a way to coax her.

– I’m not going to cry.

she says. In fact, she already wanted to cry, but when she heard Sebastian’s words, she pouted and said:

– The more we cry, the more we look like a pig! I don’t want to look like a pig.

Sebastian laughed.

-What nonsense is this?

Perhaps, because she talked too much, she started coughing and her throat felt uncomfortable again.

Sebastien gently patted him on the back. A hint of worry could be seen in his eyes when he saw her pale face and dry lips. When he saw how apathetic she was, he felt sorry for her.

When she stopped coughing, she said hoarsely:

– Ask me. I don’t want you to get infected.

Sebastian held her waist tightly when she tried to move. He said firmly:

– It’s good. Do not move.

– But…

He intervened:

– I am in very good health. I won’t catch your little cold. Also…

He stopped for a moment and rested his chin on his head before continuing to say in a low voice:

– I want to hold you in my arms a little longer…

Roxane’s ears turned red immediately. She lost all will to resist when she heard these words. She was completely immersed in his warm embrace as his words made her heart race.

– I feel like I’m going to die of a heart attack! Didn’t I say I was going to sue him? Why does it feel like he’s chasing me instead?

She sighed softly and closed her eyes. She didn’t sleep well all night, and coupled with her cold, it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep. After all, she no longer had to worry about anything now that she was in Sebastien’s arms. Even if the sky fell, he would be there for her. With that, she slept peacefully.

…

When Roxane woke up, she was already lying on her bed. It was hot and a light scent of roses wafted through his nose.

Sebastien was sitting next to her, holding an iPad in his hand and reading.

She was about to get up when he gently pushed her down and said,

– Lay over. Stay still.

She instinctively looked down and saw the needle on the back of her hand. Then she turned to look at the window, and she realized it was already dark outside.

-Is it that late already?

– Yes.

Sebastian put the iPad down before finally reaching out to help her sit down. He placed a pillow on his back before asking:

-You slept all day. Are you hungry?

Roxane felt her stomach empty and nodded.

– Yes…

Sebastien glanced at the bottle of infusion. There was still a third left. Then he said:

– Wait until the infusion is finished.

Roxane nodded. After hesitating for a while, she couldn’t help asking:

– You… Did you take care of me all day?

Sebastian nodded.

Roxane felt sweetness overflow in her heart upon hearing this. However, she hid it and said, contrary to her true feelings:

-Actually, you can let the aide take care of me. You are so busy with work. No need to waste time on me.

Sebastian’s dark eyes looked at her delicate face. He could tell she was happy but refused to admit it. He acted like he didn’t know anything and said:

– No. I wanted to take care of you so that you would get better faster.

– For what?

– So you can pursue me properly, said Sebastien with a slight smile,

– It’s not a waste of time. It is a long-term investment with high returns.

-…

Roxane choked. She could tell he was teasing her.

– You, you… Can you stop saying that I’m chasing you?

Sebastian frowned.

– For what? Are you going to take back your words?

She shook her head quickly.

– No. I have no experience so I’m a little embarrassed.

A smile appeared on Sebastien’s handsome face. He reached out to hold her hand. His hand was slightly cold so he gently wrapped his warm hands around hers to warm her up.

– Then, get well quickly. Don’t make me wait too long.

Sebastian also felt uncomfortable when he saw her listless appearance. His heart hurt and he felt helpless.

Roxane felt like his hand was also warming her heart. She replied softly,

– Mm.

After the infusion, Sebastian removed the needle and quickly stopped the bleeding.

“Oh, you’re quite good,” Roxane said. She felt much better after the infusion and good rest.

-Hmmm.

Even though he was only removing the needle, Roxane looked at him with sparkling eyes as if he had done something incredible. She said sincerely:

– You are amazing. I don’t even dare to look.

Although there was heating in the house, Sebastien still helped her put on a coat. Then he said:Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

– It’s good. Either way, you don’t have to watch it in the future.

– Eh?

Before Roxane could think about his words, he asked:

– Do you want to dine in the room or go downstairs?

– To come down.

She had slept all day. She felt like her body had gone numb, so she wanted to get out of bed and move. When she lifted her blanket to get out of bed, Sebastian suddenly leaned down and carried her.

Roxane’s heart trembled when he held her in his arms. There was an indescribable sweetness in his heart. Her eyes were bright as she looked at his well-defined jawline and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

-I… I can walk…

She had felt very sick during the day and didn’t have much strength, but she felt much better now.

Sebastien looked down at her and said:

– You walk too slowly. I do not want to wait.

-…

-Am I despised?

…

The butler had already asked the kitchen to prepare porridge and light meals suitable for sick people. When he saw Sebastien carrying Roxane downstairs, a smile appeared on his face and he quickly turned away.

Seeing this, Roxane whispered:

– Drop me off quickly.

– They’re making fun of me !
