AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastian hummed under his breath.

– I need to borrow a cigarette.

He smoked, but he didn’t smoke as much when he was with Roxane. Now that she was pregnant, he threw her cigarettes and lighter in the trash.

Jonas was not stingy and handed him the box of cigarettes.

Sebastien lit a cigarette and brought it to his lips while skillfully blowing out smoke. His bony fingers held the cigarette butt, and his temperament was lazy and depressed.

The two men were sitting on the courtyard stairs, each with a cigarette. The white smoke slowly dispersed and blew away with the wind.

After a long silence, Jonas suddenly said:

– I thought about taking it away from you, but when I saw her take that blow for you with my own eyes, I knew I could never take it away from you.

The cigarette butt in Sebastian’s hand was about to burn, and the silver ashes fell like a collapsing building.

-I don’t want to fight with you anymore. He added.

The cigarette burned and burned his fingertips. Sebastien let go of her hand and said without expression:

– I know.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Jonas to stay by his side.

Jonas took a deep breath and chuckled.

-Actually, I am sometimes envious.

Sebastien tilted his head, his eyes calm and serene.

-Mylene hates you, so you can abandon her without hesitation and choose Roxane. But I can not.

Jonas laughed at himself.

– I was raised by them. I have to pay back what I owe.

Sebastien didn’t owe Mylene anything, so he didn’t need to repay her. On the other hand, he was born and raised by Mylene. It would be fine if Mylene was a normal person, but now that she had gone crazy, he couldn’t leave her alone.

Sebastien remained silent. After all, he and Jonas couldn’t share thoughts.

Jonas squeezed the cigarette butt tightly in his palm. He didn’t seem to feel the burning sensation of the cigarette.

– Take good care of her. I leave.

Sebastien looked at the darkness in the distance. Without the city lights, he was like a beast capable of devouring everything.

– You can leave tomorrow. She’s pregnant now and her emotions fluctuate wildly. If she doesn’t see you when she wakes up, I’ll have to spend a lot of time cuddling her.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

After Sebastian finished speaking, he got up and returned to his room.

Jonas stood in one place for a long time, light and darkness mixing in his black eyes. Finally, he entered the house.

The two people who were supposed to disagree with each other, in the end, still “shake hands and made peace” for the person in their hearts.

***

Roxane went to bed early and woke up early. She was so happy to see Jonas that she even had an extra egg for breakfast.

Jonas should go back.

Roxane enthusiastically asked Sebastien to buy some fish for him to bring back.

– I do not know how to do. Jonas frowned.

– It’s not for you, it’s for my parents, my aunt and Christine. After Roxane’s marriage, Vanessa did not leave M’s town immediately. Instead, she stayed and occasionally returned to the Flores family for a meal.

Jonas was speechless.

Roxane saw that his face had darkened and added:

– Of course, my mother’s cooking is also very good. If you want to eat, ask him to prepare it for you.

– I’m not a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat.

Jonas’ lips twitched.

– Oh, then I won’t give you sweet and sour fish next time.

-…

The veins in Jonas’ forehead were about to pop out.

– Roxane, don’t do what you want just because you’re pregnant!

Roxane placed her palm on her stomach and showed a smug expression.

– I can do whatever I want because I’m pregnant. What can you do to me?

Jonas was speechless.

Indeed… Not much could happen.

He looked at Sebastien,

-Aren’t you going to do something?

Sebastian’s expression was calm and his eyebrows didn’t even move.

-Why should I help you?

Jonas was speechless.

In addition to fresh fish, there were also freshly picked vegetables and fruits. The boxes almost filled the trunk.

The veins on Jonas’ forehead couldn’t help but stand out.

– Do you think I’m a delivery guy?

Roxane stood next to Sebastien. With her husband’s support, she was even less afraid of him. She shook her head.

– You do not eat.

Jonas glanced at him and closed the trunk with a bang. Without saying goodbye, he got in the car and left.

If he came back, he would be a dog!

Roxane touched her stomach.

– Don’t be afraid, baby. It’s good…

Sebastien narrowed his eyes and looked at his stomach.

-They can’t smell it yet.

– Who said that? I think they know everything now. Roxane’s clear voice was firm.

The doctor said that pregnant women should be cheerful and happy, so Sebastian now accompanied her in everything and did not argue with her about these trivial things.

Roxane looked at Jonas’ car as it drove further and further away. She laughed and asked:

– When do you think he will come next?

– I don’t know,

Sebastian didn’t care when Jonas would come. It would be better if he didn’t come.

Roxane thought for a moment.

– Let’s make a bet. He will definitely come back next month.

Sebastien thought she was bored and had even started betting.

-What are we betting on?

– If he comes next month, you will have to be my model, Roxane rolled her eyes and said slyly, the naked kind.

She had wanted to draw him before, but he had rejected her as soon as she mentioned it.

-And if they don’t come?

Roxane stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear. Sebastian’s eyebrows moved slightly, but before she could speak, his own face heated up first.

Sebastien’s thin lips parted slightly.

– Do you really want to draw my naked body?

Roxane pursed her lips and smiled.

– Seb, you have such a beautiful figure. You are a natural role model. It would be a shame if I didn’t draw you.

Sebastien didn’t believe her. He suddenly thought of something and his eyes darkened.

-Did you draw these things every day when you were abroad?

– How is it possible?

Roxane quickly denied it and said indignantly:

– I am a decent artist.

– Is that so!

Sebastien’s lips twitched.

-Who was the one who wanted to draw me before? and I’m not allowed to wear clothes?

Roxane bit her lip and smiled innocently.

– Art. This is art. I promise I won’t let anyone else see your painting!

Sebastian sniffed.

– We’ll talk about it when he comes.

He turned around and entered the house.

Roxane followed him like a puppy, her fingers scratching his palm. She said with certainty:

– He will come, he will certainly come…
