AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

-How could I know who was the one who came up?

Alessio moved his hand away. He was angry and helpless.

– Mylene, can’t you be so suspicious? Why can’t you trust me?

– I do not believe you ?

Tears came to Mylene’s eyes.

– I trusted you too much. I thought you could protect me and marry you.

– But where were you when I gave birth to little Sebastien and Lorraine? Where were you when your father took Sebastien? Did you protect me?

-I have said many times, I had a very important contract to sign at that time, and I rushed to your side after signing it! My father took Sebastien because he wanted to make him his successor. He was afraid that you would spoil the child too much and not return him in the end.

Mylene shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

– It is not like that. Your father values boys more than girls. When Lorraine was born, he didn’t even hold her. No one in the Flores family has a high opinion of me. Everyone thinks I’m too far ahead of you…

– But it was you who pursued me and begged me to marry you…

Alessio helplessly raised his hand to rub his temples.

– Why do you always keep dwelling on this past? Haven’t I done enough for you? What do you want me to do?

Mylene looked at his impatience and her heart was filled with disappointment and coldness. She wiped her tears and said:

– Let’s divorce! I don’t want anything, I only want Lorraine…

Alessio’s movements froze. He lowered his arm and looked at her in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he heard.

Sebastien and Lorraine, who were walking down the stairs, were also stunned on the spot.

Lorraine’s tears fell.

Sebastian’s expression was very calm, as if he had known such a day would come.

Alessio saw the children out of the corner of his eye and suddenly looked a little panicked.

– Sebastien, Lorraine…

Mylene’s expression also changed. She turned around and looked at Lorraine, who was crying like rain. His eyes were filled with panic,

-Lorraine…

Lorraine’s face was full of tears. Without saying anything, she turned and ran upstairs.

-Lorraine.

Mylene hurriedly chased him upstairs.

Sebastien watched her pass in front of him without stopping, his eyes dulled.

Alessio took a deep breath and moved forward to comfort him.

“Mom only said that because she was mad at Dad for arguing with her. Mom and Dad are not getting divorced.

Sebastien raised his head. His eyes were calm and cold, and even his voice was much colder.

– It’s yours. I don’t care if you are together or divorced.

Alessio’s hand, which was about to touch his head, froze in mid-air. He hadn’t expected him to say such words.

-If you really divorce, Lorraine will leave with Mom and I will move to live with Grandpa.

With that, he turned around and headed upstairs.

Alessio was still stunned on the spot.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

***

Probably due to their feud, Sebastien and Lorraine did not do well in their final exams. They didn’t even make the top ten in the class.

Lorraine even sprained her ankle during a ballet competition and couldn’t go out for half a month, and the depression in the Flores family continued.

The eldest Flores became angry when he saw Sebastien’s school report. He couldn’t help but scold Mylene for being an incompetent mother. She couldn’t even take care of her child’s studies. A loving mother spoiled her child.

Mylene listened to the old man’s reprimand and did not respond, but her heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Lorraine and Sebastien were hiding upstairs and did not come down.

Lorraine looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said gloomily:

– Do you think they are really going to divorce?

Sebastian looked up from his book and turned to look at her.

– If they really divorced, would you go with Mom?

– If they really divorce…

Lorraine’s eyes darkened and her voice sounded as if she was about to cry:

– I won’t go with my mother, I won’t go with anyone, I want to live alone… I will never speak to them again.

– Do they include me?

He asked.

Lorraine resisted the urge to cry and turned to look at him.

– We will see. If you don’t make me angry, I’ll play with you.

Sebastien was amused by her. He reached out and pinched her cheek.

– Idiot.

Lorraine slapped his hand.

– You are the crazy one…

Sebastian listened to the cicadas singing outside and was silent for a long time. He then said in a low voice:

-If they really divorce, you will have to put up with it for a few years! When I grow up and take over the business, you will live with me. I will raise you and help you prepare for your wedding! I’ll find you another good man!

Lorraine smiled through her tears,

– Are you serious ? You’re not lying to me, are you?

Sebastien shook his forehead.

– I won’t lie to you if you call me brother!

Lorraine pursed her lips.

– So who are you looking for to be my husband?

– I don’t want Fernand, I’m terrified when he smiles. I don’t want Quentin either, he’s too noisy, my head is buzzing…

The corner of Sebastian’s mouth twitched slightly and he knocked on his head.

– I’ll find you a dwarf deer!

– What ?

Lorraine was perplexed.

– Why a deer?

– Dwarf deer is the scientific name, also known as adorable, said Sebastien.

Lorraine was so angry that she hit him again.

In the end, Mylene, who was originally in a bad mood, became even more angry and scolded Sebastian again.

Sebastien was already used to it and didn’t apologize.

That night, Mylene scolded another servant. The reason was that the servant brought her the bird’s nest she had simmered and did not remind her when it was too hot.

After Mylene was scalded, she took out all her emotions on the servant and even threw the bird’s nest on the ground.

The servant apologized and squatted down to clean up the bird’s nest on the ground.
