AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

When a small figure suddenly appeared in front of Sebastien, he looked down and saw Roxane’s long, straight black hair. When he saw that her hair was slightly messy at the top, he thought it was really cute. A smile unknowingly appeared on his face as he reached out to smooth his hair.

When Roxane felt the weight on her head, she turned to look at him in confusion with her glistening eyes. She wondered if he didn’t like her for acting that way.

Sebastien naturally didn’t know what Roxane was thinking. He continued to stroke her head.

“Why is he looking at me with such a gentle look?”

Roxane quickly lowered her head to hide her panic. She felt like his hand left a flame of fire in its wake when he touched her.

At this moment, Enzo couldn’t stand it anymore. He reached out and slapped Sebastien’s hand before pulling Roxane to his side. Then, he ruffled Roxane’s hair which had just been straightened by Sebastien. He thought as he looked at his sister, “Hmm, her hair is nicer to look at like that.”

Roxane looked at her brother speechless.

Enzo pretended nothing had happened, but when he looked at Sebastian, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Sebastian with a gloating expression.

Meanwhile, Joel and Sabrina sighed with relief now that the Rios family was gone.

Sabrina asked curiously:

– Roxane, how did you know that Olivier Rios had a wife outside?

– I met him twice, said Roxane. She knew her family would ask her this, so she had already thought of an answer in advance. The truth was she had seen him in her dreams. Then she had indirectly mentioned it to Diego a few times. Unfortunately, he didn’t take his words to heart. At that time, she naturally didn’t say anything to expose her elder’s mistake. In fact, if it weren’t for the Rios family’s aggressive attitude this time, they wouldn’t have said anything about it. Even though she knew her brother shouldn’t have hit another person, she was naturally biased.

Enzo said with a proud expression:

– Let them fight among themselves! As expected of my sister! She’s so smart.

Roxane smiled:

– It’s just a coincidence.

Joel and Sabrina naturally did not doubt Roxane’s words.

On the contrary, Sebastien looked at Roxane with a complicated look. “How many secrets does she have? It seems that even the Alvarez family doesn’t know…”

…

Since the case was so easily solved, Enzo went to work with Sebastian while Logan sent Roxane to school.

Roxane’s first lesson was a theoretical lesson. As soon as she entered the classroom, she noticed everyone looking at her strangely. She found an empty seat and sat down and was about to find out what was wrong when she saw Jessica waving at her from the entrance.

– Roxane, you…

There were still ten minutes before class started, so Roxane walked over to Jessica.

Jessica quickly grabbed Roxane and pulled her out of the classroom and into a deserted corner.

Roxane was perplexed. Even Jessica was acting strange. Finally, she asked:

“What’s wrong, Jessi? Why is everyone acting so weird today?

Jessica looked around cautiously to make sure no one was there before sighing in relief. Then she asked:

– Do you still dare to come to class?

– Why not?

She was even more perplexed.

Jessica took out her phone and showed it to Roxane, saying:

– You are at the top of hot local searches.

Roxane saw a blurry photo before seeing a caption that read: President Flores of the Flores group has a date with a beautiful woman! His secret relationship is revealed.

In the photo, Sebastien was dressed in a tailored suit and his hand was placed on the back of Roxane’s head as he hugged her. The duo’s posture was intimate and ambiguous, and they really looked like a couple.

The photo quality was not very good. Sebastien’s head was lowered so that his face was not clearly captured while Roxane’s face was only partially captured in the photo. It might be difficult for those who didn’t know her to recognize her in the photo, but those who did would have no trouble identifying her in the photo. It appeared the tabloid had confirmed Sebastian’s identity based on his license plate number.

M city University students generally liked to browse Weibo and watch the most popular local searches. It was therefore impossible for them to ignore this matter. In a single morning, the news had spread throughout the department.

Based on the comments section, we could see that some of them didn’t know who Sebastien Flores was. However, most of them knew who Sebastian was and were passionately discussing the identity of the mysterious woman in Sebastian’s arms.

At that time, no one from University M had revealed Roxane’s identity. However, many curious netizens zoomed in on the photo, hoping to discover his identity. They discovered that the woman in Sebastian’s arms had an immature face and looked very young. With this, what was originally just gossip about Sebastien Flores’ relationship turned into something more sinister. People accused Sebastien of being in a relationship with a minor and of forcing a minor into an illicit relationship.

When Roxane saw the malicious comments, she frowned, feeling slightly angry.

Jessica nudged Roxane and said:

-It seems that your relationship with President Flores is rather good.

Roxane returned Jessica’s phone before she explained:

-It’s not what you think. That night I almost tripped and he caught me.

– Oh, is that it?

Jessica asked skeptically. Obviously, she didn’t believe Roxane’s explanation.

Roxane was still thinking about the comments she had read, so she didn’t pay attention to Jessica’s teasing.

Due to Internet gossip, she has been distracted all day. She wanted to send a message to Sebastian a few times, but in the end she gave up on the idea. She was afraid of disrupting her work, and she was also afraid that this matter would annoy him.

When she returned to the Moon Pavilion in the evening, Sebastian had not yet returned. After entering her room, she checked the searches again. She found that the case was at 38th place on the hot search list and showing signs of increasing. With this, she became even more worried. It didn’t help that Sebastian didn’t come back at all.

The night was calm. The moon shone on Moon Pavilion, giving it an air of mystery.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of her easel in a daze. When she heard the sound of a car coming from outside, she hurriedly put down her brush and palette and rushed downstairs. As she reached the end of the stairs, Sebastien entered the house.

For a moment, the duo looked at each other silently.

They had only parted in the morning, but Roxane felt like a century had passed since the last time they had seen each other.

Sebastien was the first to break the silence. A hint of weariness could be heard in his voice as he asked:

-Why aren’t you asleep yet?

She looked down and said:

– I’m sorry…

Sebastien loosened his tie and said:

– Have you seen the trendy searches?

She raised her head to look at him and nodded slowly.

-Have I caused you a lot of trouble?

– No, don’t think about it too much, said Sebastien. Then, a slight smile appeared on his face before he continued to say:

– It’s getting late. You should rest early.

After he finished speaking, he walked past her and went upstairs.

Roxane turned around to look at his back. For some reason, she felt like he looked very exhausted today. She couldn’t help but wonder if it was due to Internet gossip.

When Sebastien entered his room, he saw Roxane following him just as he was about to close the door. He smiled with a helpless expression on his face as he asked:

-Why are you following me?

Roxane licked her lips before shyly asking:

– Are you hungry ? Would you like me to cook you some supper?

– I’m not hungry.

-So, do you want to have a cup of tea? Or do you want a cup of coffee? She asked with a look of guilt and unease on her face. She really wished she could do something for him.

“No, I don’t want tea or coffee,” Sebastien replied as he entered his room. He took off his tie and threw it on the couch before entering the bathroom.

When the tie slipped from the couch to the floor, Roxane came in and picked it up. Then she asked:

-So, is there anything I can do for you?
