AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Old Madame Rios knew that Roxane was going to visit her so she dressed specially. She wore a long skirt and a sleeveless top. She sat elegantly on the sofa, and not a bit of her white was out of place. When she saw Roxane, a warm expression appeared on her face as she waved her hand and said:

– Roxane, you are here. Come, sit with me.

She told Logan to deliver the gifts to the housekeeper before heading over to old Mrs. Rios.

Old Mrs. Rios’s expression froze for a split second when she saw the gifts. Then she smiled and said:

– I am already very happy that you are visiting me. Why did you bring so many things?

She smiled charmingly as she said:

– I brought you daily supplements. I hope you will not disdain them.

– How is it possible ? Stupid child, said old Mrs. Rios, grabbing Roxane’s hand and patting it. Like an ordinary old lady, she asked with a worried expression:

– How have you been recently?

She nodded and replied meekly:

– I’m doing well. Grandma and the others are fine too.

Old Mrs. Rios nodded. After a few seconds, the smile on her face gradually disappeared as she sighed.

– Regarding the marriage, Diego really let you down and made you suffer.

She shook her head and said:

-Grandma Rios, everything is in the past.

Old Madame Rios tightened her grip slightly around Roxane’s hand before asking in a low voice:

– I heard a little of what happened. Are you really married?

Roxane didn’t want to lie, but if she told the truth, she was afraid that old Madame Rios would tell Diego, and he would continue to harass her. She thought about it for a moment before nodding and saying:

– Yes, I am married now. So it’s impossible for me and Diego to be together.

Old Madame Rios’ eyes fell on the enormous ring on Roxane’s ring finger before sighing.

– When I heard about it, I didn’t believe it. Now that I’ve seen the ring on your finger, I have no choice but to believe it.

-I’m sorry, Grandma Rios…

Before she finished speaking, old Mrs. Rios intervened softly:

– Stupid child, why are you apologizing? It was our Rios and Diego family who let you down. We can only say that you are not meant to be together.

Roxane said:

– Although Diego and I are not together, I hope this will not affect your relationship with my grandmother. You two have been good friends for so many years, after all. My grandmother, she…

She hesitated to speak.

Old Madame Rios naturally understood Roxane.

– Don’t worry. Your grandmother and I have been friends for so many years, and our relationship will not be affected. Our families have been friends for so many years, and you will always be like a granddaughter to me. In the future, we will interact as we should.

Roxane breathed a sigh of relief and said:

-Thank you, Grandma Rios.

“Good child,” said old Madame Rios, continuing to gently pat Roxane’s hand.

She chatted with old Mrs. Rios for a while. When she finally finished her cup of tea, she got up and prepared to leave. She declined old Mrs. Rios’s invitation to stay for lunch because she didn’t want to meet the other members of the family.

The old Madame did not persuade Roxane to stay. She asked the housekeeper to send it before looking at the gifts she brought with narrowed eyes.

…

When Roxane came out of the Rios family house, she saw a black car parked on the side of the road. The car window was half rolled down, revealing a man’s handsome face. His face was bathed in sunlight, making him appear otherworldly.

Sebastien seemed to have sensed Roxane’s gaze, and he slowly turned to look at her. His lips curled into a smile as he got out of the car.

She asked, slightly surprised:Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

– Why are you here?

“I was in the area and heard Logan say you were still there, so I came to take a look,” Sebastian replied with a straight face. From his unchanging expression, you couldn’t tell that he had abandoned everyone in the meeting room to come here.
