AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane’s parents, similar to their relatives who were about to leave earlier, were also stunned.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

On the other hand, old Madame Alvarez stood up immediately.

Roxane could feel all kinds of eyes on them. However, the expression on her delicate face remained unchanged. She glanced furtively out of the corner of her eye at the extraordinarily handsome Sebastian, who looked like a fallen immortal, and felt her heart skip a beat. She felt helpless; the man next to her was born with a face that made people unable to stay calm. In order to remain calm so that the wedding would go smoothly, she withdrew her gaze.

Due to old Mrs. Alvarez’s health, the wedding ceremony was very simple. There were no confessions of love or speeches.

After a simple oath and the exchange of rings, the host said to Sebastien:

– You can now kiss the bride.

Roxane and Sebastien were both surprised. When they had spoken to the host earlier, they had forgotten to tell him to omit this step.

“What should we do now? Should we kiss? But this will be my first kiss! Grandma is sitting in front of the stage. If we don’t kiss, will she…”

Various thoughts ran through Roxane’s mind when the man in front of her suddenly leaned in slightly. He did not remove his veil. Instead, he placed his warm hand against her cheek through the veil. The temperature of his hand made his cheeks heat up. Her eyes were wide as she watched the man lower his head to kiss her. His mind had gone completely blank.

At this time, Enzo, who had just rushed over after receiving a call, witnessed this scene. His expression darkened and he gritted his teeth. “Fuck! I’m going to kill you, Sebastien Flores!”

…

At the Alvarez family home.

Old Mrs. Alvarez, dressed in traditional navy blue clothing, sat on the sofa. Due to her illness, she looked rather emaciated. At this moment, she sized up Sebastien with a deep look.

Roxane held her grandmother’s arm and said softly:

-Grandma, I’m sorry. I can’t marry Diego because the person I love…

She stopped and looked at the calm man next to her before walking out and saying:

– … is Sebastien Flores.

The only way her grandmother could feel comfortable was to make her believe that the person she loved was Sebastian.

Old Madame Alvarez looked away from Sebastien and looked affectionately at Roxane. Nevertheless, she asked skeptically:

– Do you really love him? When did you meet him? Why don’t I know anything about this?

“We’ve known each other for a long time,” Roxane replied.

She was afraid that her grandmother wouldn’t believe her so she added:

– He’s a good friend of his brother. It was my brother who introduced us to each other. If you don’t believe me, you can ask brother.

-Enzo!

Old Mrs. Alvarez called immediately. Although she was ill, her voice was full of vigor. When she looked at Enzo, his gaze was cold and piercing.

Enzo, who had been thinking of ways to kill Sebastian’s bastard, immediately came to his senses. A flattering expression appeared on his face as he shouted:

– Grandmother…

-Are you telling the truth? asked the old Madame.

Enzo looked at Roxane meaningfully. He could see her pleading silently with her bright eyes. Naturally, he should help his sister. He prepared to lie to their grandmother and said:

– Yes, grandmother. It was me who introduced them even if she and that bastard Diego…

Enzo quickly stopped talking when he realized he had misspoke. He corrected his words and said:

– I know she and Diego were promised to each other, but I think it’s best to let Roxane marry someone she loves and be happy for the rest of her life. How could she be happy if she had to marry someone she didn’t love?

Hearing this, there was no change in the Old Madam’s expression. No one could tell if she bought the lie or not. She turned to Sebastien and asked solemnly:

– Mr. Flores, do you really love my granddaughter?
