AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Mrs. Alvarez refused immediately.

– There’s no need for that. She just caught a cold. It’s not serious. She didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to worry.

– But grandmother, she…

Roxane died. She really wanted to visit her grandmother even more now that she found out she had caught a cold.

– Today is your 20th birthday. Because of your grandmother’s affair, I couldn’t plan a big party for you. If you spend your birthday in the hospital, your grandmother will feel terrible, Mr. Alvarez said.

– You know how much your grandmother loves you. Why don’t you visit him tomorrow instead?

Roxane couldn’t refute her father’s words and could only nod obediently.

Enzo was busy with work in the afternoon, so he didn’t come home for lunch, so she only had lunch with her parents.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Alvarez made her a cupcake and Aunt Celine made her a bowl of longevity noodles.

Roxane’s parents did not object when they discovered that she was going out with her friends in the evening. Instead, they gave him a credit card.

– Mom, Dad, you already gave me a birthday present. I really can’t accept this card either, Roxane said, pushing the card away. She really didn’t want to take her parents’ money anymore.

Mr. Alvarez placed the credit card in his hand again and said:

– This bag is a gift from your mother, and this card is a gift from me. Based on Mr. Flores’ speech and the way he dresses, his family background must not be simple. Now that you’re staying with him, there are a lot of things you’ll have to spend on. You can’t let him look down on us.

Mr. Alvarez felt that the other party was too rich, and he worried that his daughter would feel uncomfortable and her self-esteem would suffer because of the other party’s wealth.

– Dad…

Roxane wanted to explain that she didn’t need to spend money when she stayed with Sebastien, but her father quickly intervened:

-Listen to me, okay? Besides, don’t you need to spend money when you go out with your friends tonight?

She bit her cherry lips, hesitant.

Mr. Alvarez continued by saying:

– Today is your birthday so you should have fun. You can buy what you want and eat what you want. Don’t think about saving money. The limit of this card is 200, 000. If that’s not enough, you can call me, okay?

In other words, he didn’t want his daughter to suffer from money grievances.

-…

Roxane’s eyebrows twitched slightly as she said to herself, “Father, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Or do you have any misunderstandings about people my age? There is no need to spend so much ‘Money for a birthday party!’

…

In the evening.

Mr. Alvarez and Mrs. Alvarez saw Roxane come out. Before she got in the car, they told her to have fun with her friends and also reminded her not to drink and to pay attention to her safety.

She nodded in agreement, putting them at ease.

After the car drove away, Mrs. Alvarez sighed.

– Roxane grew up in the blink of an eye.

– That’s right. She’s grown up now, Mr. Alvarez echoed Mrs. Alvarez’s sentiment.

Madam Alvarez seemed to remember something as a worried expression appeared on her face.

– Do you think… Do you think Roxane is normal now? Will she…

Ms. Alvarez did not finish her sentence.

Mr. Alvarez narrowed his eyes before solemnly saying:

– Do not talk nonsense. Roxane has always been a normal girl. These things from the past are just a series of coincidences.

Madame Alvarez silently lowered her eyes. However, she still felt uncomfortable.

…

Jessica booked a luxurious private room at the nightclub they visited earlier.

There were all kinds of drinks and food on the table.

After the security guards at the entrance checked Roxane’s ID card, a waiter led her to the private room.

Jessica, who had arrived much earlier, rushed to hug Roxane as soon as she arrived.

– My darling, happy 20th birthday!

Roxane gently pushed Jessica away. When she saw the balloon and the flowers in the private room and the banner that read “Happy Birthday, Roxane!” “, she said :

– It’s just a birthday party. You don’t need to make it so grandiose.

– How is it possible ?

Jessica said as she pulled Roxane to the table:

– Today is your 20th birthday! It only happens once in your life! I certainly can’t let you have regrets.

After letting go of Roxane’s hand, Jessica pushed a gift box and said:

– This is my birthday present to you. Happy birthday, my little Roxane.
