AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

– Good morning…

A woman’s calm, intellectual voice rang out on the other end of the line.

– Mr. Flores, it’s been almost a month since you were supposed to come for a follow-up consultation.

A girl’s delicate face appeared in Sebastian’s mind before he said with a slight smile:

– It is not necessary any more.

The woman on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before saying:

– It seems that Mr. Flores loves someone.

Sebastien did not deny it. Instead he said:

-Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Sha. I will have someone transfer the charges to you tomorrow.

Dr. Sha chuckled.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

– Thank you, Mr. Flores. I wish you happiness.

After ending the call, Sebastian placed the phone on the coffee table. When he looked up, he saw his suit jacket hanging on the rack. The osmanthus flowers had been removed, but the faint scent of the flowers seemed to linger faintly in the air. A spring smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

However, the smile abruptly disappeared when he remembered Old Madam Alvarez’s words.

– Little Flores, I raised her, so no one knows her better than me. She’s a good child. Even after experiencing bad things, his heart still hasn’t changed.

-Since you two met, it can be considered destiny. Cherish this destiny. Don’t wait until you lose it to regret it.

Old Mrs. Alvarez didn’t say much, but every word was filled with deeper meaning. It was as if she was aware of something. What did she mean Roxane had experienced bad things?

The man’s tall body leaned back as he crossed his long legs. His eyes were filled with curiosity.

“This girl seems to be hiding a lot of secrets. It’s okay. I have enough time and patience to slowly find out…”

Ever since he said she could pay off her debt by cooking for him, Roxane woke up an hour earlier every day to make him breakfast.

The butler couldn’t stop him so he looked for Sebastian. After all, Roxane was a guest. How could it be appropriate for her to do such chores? Besides, what was the boss going to do then?

When Sebastian heard this, he didn’t react much. He simply said:

– She can do what she wants. You just need to cooperate. After a brief pause, he added:

– From now on, address her as Madame Flores.

The butler was shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

Likewise, when Roxane heard the butler address her as Madame Flores, she almost spat the milk into her mouth. After that, she looked at the butler accusingly.

The butler looked at her innocently and shrugged his shoulders.

Sebastien’s expression did not change as he said:

– If Grandma visits in the future, they won’t be wrong. You should also get used to it in advance.

She nodded. He was right, after all. Not only did she not doubt him, but she also felt that he was very caring.

Sebastien spent most of his days at work. Sometimes he had to work overtime or attend social events. Therefore, Roxane only took care of her breakfast. If he came back early, he sent her a message in advance.

It wasn’t awkward at all for her. All she had to do was tell the butler what ingredients she needed, and he would prepare them for her. All she had to do was cook.

In the blink of an eye, August came and went. It was finally Roxane’s birthday.

As soon as the clock struck midnight, his phone started ringing. The messages were birthday wishes from Enzo and Jessica.

Enzo sent him 20 red packets of $200 each via WeChat.

Roxane accepted them one by one and thanked him.

She didn’t have class during the day so after making Sebastian breakfast, she went back to her room to sleep. She slept until 10 a. m. before waking up, taking a shower and changing into a white bubble-sleeved dress before returning to the Alvarez family home.

Mrs. Alvarez had told him a week in advance that she was to come home for dinner on his birthday.

Mr. Alvarez had also put his work aside so he could stay home to celebrate his birthday.

When Roxane arrived, Madame Alvarez handed over a red bag from a certain luxury brand. There was a row of tassels on the bag; it was very cute.

Ms. Alvarez said:

-Your father and I specially chose this for you. Happy birthday!

-Thank you, Mom and Dad.

said Roxane. She really liked the bag, not because of the brand. She really thought it looked good and was very much in line with her taste. Plus, it matched her dress today.

“Your grandmother caught a cold yesterday, so your father and I decided to let her stay in the hospital,” Mrs. Alvarez explained. She knew that if Old Madam Alvarez came back, she would definitely exhaust herself trying to prepare for Roxane’s birthday.

The smile on Roxane’s face disappeared immediately.

-Is grandma okay? Why don’t I visit him in the afternoon?
