AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

The morning.

The weather had become cold. It was already late autumn and winter was approaching.

Roxane sneezed as soon as she woke up. When she felt a gust of cold wind, she looked up and found that the window was open. She was the maple leaves that slowly fell to the ground.

She got out of bed to close the window, sneezing twice in the process.

When she came down, Sebastien had already left for the company. When she sat down, she started sneezing again.

When the butler saw that Roxane’s face was pale and she was sneezing frequently, he asked with concern:

– Madam, have you caught a cold?

– I think so. I forgot to close the window last night, replied Roxane. She touched her forehead and found that it was not too hot. However, his throat was a little sore.

– The days are getting colder, especially at night. You must close the window before sleeping. Should I invite the doctor? the butler asked with a worried expression.

As Sebastien had employed a family doctor, it was not difficult to invite the doctor.

Roxane shook her head.

– It’s not necessary. I have classes after this. If I feel really uncomfortable, I’ll just go to the university infirmary.

…

Roxane felt dizzy all day. It wasn’t easy for her to make it to the end of her class. When she went to the infirmary, she discovered that the university doctor was on leave.

“Forget it. Let’s go back first.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

As she approached the entrance to the university, she was about to call Logan when she saw an old acquaintance.

Diego approached and saw Roxane’s haggard appearance. He couldn’t help but ask:

– What’s wrong ?

– Nothing,

she sniffed before answering,

-Why are you looking for me?

“Don’t tell me it’s because my brother hit him again.”

Diego sneered.

– Roxane, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?

– Eh?

She was perplexed. However, when she saw the sour expression on Diego’s face, she suddenly remembered something

– Oh, is it because I blacklisted you?

Diego kept saying things like Sebastian was a gigolo, and she was so angry that she ended up blacklisting him. As the saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.”

“You know how much my grandmother adores you, don’t you?”

He asked, narrowing his eyes slightly. He paused briefly before continuing:

-Recently, because of our affairs and my parents, she is not in a good mood, and her health is also affected. She always talks about you.

Roxane pursed her lips and remained silent. It was rather strange. Everyone in the Rios family, except old Mrs. Rios, didn’t like him. Old Madam Rios treated her like a granddaughter. So it was no surprise to hear that Old Mrs. Rios was unhappy with what had happened. It was indeed time for her to visit old Madame Rios, but…

Finally, she sniffed again and said in a muffled voice:

– I caught a cold. It’s not appropriate for me to visit him. I will visit him when I am healed.

A look of worry appeared on Diego’s face when he heard that she had caught a cold. He asked

– Do you want me to send you to the hospital?

She immediately shook her head.

– It’s not necessary. I can go there alone.

Diego frowned.

– And him ? Doesn’t he care about you after you get married?

Roxane really wanted to say that it was none of her business. However, before she could do so, she sneezed again. She raised her hand to rub her nose.

That’s when Diego noticed the ring on her finger. His expression darkened and he said mockingly:

“Even though you’re just acting, you even bought a ring. It’s very professional.

She frowned slightly. She couldn’t help but scold:

– You are completely crazy! Why would I deliberately buy a ring and fake a marriage because of you? You really think too highly of yourself.

Diego was stunned.

– What ?

– Raving mad ?

Roxane’s voice was soft but fierce as she said:

-Who do you think you are?

In short, she meant that he wasn’t that important for her to spend so much effort.

Diego:

-…

He was still dazed when she saw Logan drive up. Without looking back, she hurriedly got into the car. Then she urged him to drive faster.

When Diego came to his senses, the car had already left. He was angry and annoyed, and there was also a sense of loss. Since the marriage was called off, they argued every time they met. She was no longer gentle and obedient like before.

…

As Logan drove, he looked at Roxane through the rearview mirror.

Roxane’s head was lowered, and she looked like a withered flower. After a moment of hesitation, he asked:

– Madam, is he still bothering you? Do you need me to take care of him?

She looked at the side of Logan’s face and asked in shock,

– You… How do you plan to take care of him?

Society is governed by laws. Don’t do anything rash.

She didn’t want Sebastien involved.

-…

Logan’s eyebrows twitched as he explained:

– What I mean is to talk to him and warn him.

– Oh.

She sighed in relief upon hearing this. Then she said:

– Forget that. There is no point in preventing it.

She knew Diego’s character very well. He had been pampered from a young age and was very self-centered. He wouldn’t listen to another person at all. It would only backfire if Logan tried to warn him.

When the car stopped at the entrance to the Moon Pavilion, Roxane ran into Sebastien as soon as she got out of the car.

The duo looked at each other in silence.

The autumn wind blew, stirring the yellow leaves under the roadside umbrella tree.

Roxane’s hair flew in the wind when she suddenly sneezed.
