AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After living in the countryside for a few days, Roxane did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, she became more and more accustomed to the environment.

Every morning, she got up and went for a walk in the fields with Sebastien. When she returned, she prepared breakfast. After eating, she would set up a drawing board near the living room window and draw. At that time, Sebastien sat on the sofa and read.

After lunch, they would take a nap or have fun together.

In the afternoon, Roxane would go to the nearby orchard with the village children to pick fruit to eat, or take out her own painting paper and paint to give to the children and teach them how to draw.

One afternoon she came back with black hands and stains on her clean clothes. Even Sebastian, who was not a neat freak, couldn’t help but feel the veins in his forehead throbbing.

Roxane didn’t seem to notice the blue veins on the man’s forehead. She smiled and presented him with the blackberries in her skirt like a treasure.

– Sebastien, Sebastien, look, I picked so many blackberries. They are sweet and sour and delicious.

Today she wore a long dress that reached her ankles. She lifted the hem of the dress to fruit, revealing a pair of slender and straight legs. His snow-white skin was also dotted with spots. Besides being stained by mulberry juice, there were also red, swollen bumps.

Sebastian raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He couldn’t be bothered to be angry. He first put the blackberries on a plate, then dragged her into the bathroom.

He turned on the shower and poured it directly on her.

Roxane finally reacted and asked:

– Seb, are you angry?

Sebastien took a deep breath and said in a restrained tone:

– Look what you did!

Roxane lowered her head to take a look. It looked quite dirty.

– But I don’t think you’ve ever eaten the mulberry fruit I gave you before, have you?

Sebastien looked into her clear and sincere eyes, and his heart softened. His anger disappeared in an instant and he wiped the dust from his face with his fingertips.

-Even so, you can’t turn into a dirty little cat. Look at your hands…

Roxane’s hand was taken by him. His fingers were black, even under his nails. She couldn’t wash them even after washing them several times with lukewarm water.

Roxane smiled coquettishly.

– It will be gone in a few days. I used to paint and apply it all over my body.

Sebastian glanced at her helplessly, took off his dirty dress and threw it away. He first washed the dirty little cat.

Roxane was a little embarrassed and continued to press her head against the water. The water was so hot she felt dizzy.

When Sebastian’s white lips touched her snow-white shoulders, she couldn’t help but stop breathing.

– Sebastien… she meowed like a kitten.

– What?

He turned the shower back on and let the hot water wet his clothes. He wrapped his long arms around her shoulders and pinned her in his arms, preventing her from escaping.

The hot water droplets fell like heavy rain, hitting his skin like fire, burning his skin.

– Let’s hurry up and take a bath. You haven’t eaten the blackberries yet.

– No hurry.

In the damp bathroom, his voice was muffled, but his movements were clear.

The bath lasted almost two hours. In the end, Roxane’s fair skin and the corners of her eyes were red. She complained in a hoarse voice.

– I was kind enough to pick blackberries for you, but you are not grateful. Instead, you intimidate me.

Sebastian took a pearl white spaghetti strap dress and put it on her. He couldn’t help but kiss her shoulder.

– I’m just expressing my gratitude. Didn’t you receive it just now? Do you want me to express it again?

– I do not want. She refused without thinking.

It wasn’t thanking him, it was taking his life!

Sebastian took the ointment and applied it to the places on his body that had been bitten by the mosquitoes. Then he carried her downstairs, took a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for her to change into, and then went to wash the blackberries.

Roxane approached him with weak legs and said expectantly:

– Try one quickly and see if it’s delicious.

Sebastien glanced at the blackberries which looked like large caterpillars. He couldn’t bear to reject it and tasted one.

At first it was a little sour, but then a little sweetness spread between his lips and teeth.

– Is it good?

He nodded.

– Not bad.

-Then you should eat more.

She gave him a whole plate of blackberries and told him she had been eating out a lot.

Sebastien was afraid that the little girl wouldn’t be happy if he didn’t finish it. He felt like his thoughts had been abandoned, so he ate a lot even though he didn’t like it.

Roxane couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Sebastien raised his head and looked at her.

– You did it on purpose?

She knew that eating too many blackberries would make her teeth sour, but she didn’t tell him.

Roxane pouted with her pink lips.

“Who told you to intimidate me?”

Sebastian reached out and pinched her face.

“You’re the one who said you still wanted it, and now you’re the one saying I’m harassing you. It’s not good for you to lift your skirt in front of other people.

Roxane looked at him shyly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

-If you continue to talk nonsense, I will pick blackberries for you tomorrow.

Sebastien stopped teasing her. He couldn’t eat anything, so he left her.

He didn’t want to complain about being hungry and weak at night.
