Chapter 18: I don’t have a problem with dad
Half an hour later.
Roxane and Sebastien were sitting at the dining table.
There was a fried egg each sitting on top of the two bowls of noodles.
After finishing eating, the helper took the bowls and chopsticks to wash them.
Roxane did not leave the table. She planned to finish her glass of water before returning to her room.
Sebastien hasn’t left either. He looked at her with his dark gaze. Who knew what he was thinking when he suddenly said in a low voice:
– The next time he harasses you again, you can tell me.
She looked at him.
– Tell you?
Sebastian nodded.
-Your brother has been very busy lately with a project, so you can look for me if you need anything.
Enzo did not work in his father’s company. Instead, he joined the Flores Corporation. With Patrice, he was considered Sebastien’s right-hand man.
Roxane nodded.
– I understand. THANKS.
Sebastien licked his lips. After a few seconds he said:
– You are still young. You will have many more choices in the future. Since he failed, that means you two are not meant for each other. No need to dwell on it…
Roxane’s eyes widened slightly. She wondered if Sebastien was trying to comfort her.
When he saw that Roxane was silent, he frowned slightly and asked in a low voice:
– Do you understand what I said?
Roxane finally reacted. She nodded. – I understand. I’m not sad anymore. It’s just that today he talked a lot. I suddenly felt that I didn’t know him at all in the past. He is like a stranger. I can’t imagine what it would be like if I really married him.
Sebastien knew that she was young and had grown up in the countryside. As such, she was inexperienced and did not understand the complexity and darkness of humans. He said :
– The human heart is the most unpredictable. You’re young so you still don’t understand these things. You will gradually understand them in the future.
Roxane glanced at him before whispering:
– Why do you keep calling me young? I’m already 20 years old…
– What did you say?
Sebastien didn’t hear her because she spoke too quietly.
Roxane raised her head and said with a broad smile:
– I said I was lucky not to have married him that day! Not only that, but I was also lucky that you were there that day. Otherwise, not only would I be embarrassed, but my family would also be embarrassed.
Seeing the smile on her face, the corners of Sebastian’s lips curled up slightly and he said:
– It’s good that you know that.
He said to himself: “Although she is young, she is much more sensible than Christine. No wonder that idiot Enzo protects her like a rare treasure.
Roxane didn’t know if it was because she had confided in Sebastien, but she discovered that her heart was no longer as heavy as before and that she no longer felt disappointed.
It was exactly what Sebastian had said. Humans were complicated. She had been too naive in the past. Even though Diego was very good in the past and gave him heat, after a long time people change. After thinking about it, her steps were much lighter as she walked up the stairs.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard her phone vibrate. She picked up her phone to look at the message, but before she could read it, Jessica’s call came.
-Roxane Alvarez!
Jessica’s scream rang out on the other end of the line.
At this moment, Roxane finally remembered her meeting with her. She said hurriedly:
“I’m sorry, Jessi. Something suddenly happened. I didn’t mean to make you stand up. I…
Before she finished her words, Jessica intervened:
-Let’s not talk about that first. You must tell me the identity of this incredibly handsome man!
– Eh?
Roxane was stunned. Then she laughed and said:
– Jessi, is that all that matters to you?
– This is the main ? No. The main thing is this handsome man!
“Calm down,” Roxane said, grabbing a pillow and sitting down on the couch. After hugging the pillow, she began to explain everything briefly.
After listening to Roxane, Jessica remained silent for a whole minute. Then she screamed.
Roxane calmly moved the phone away from her ear, seeming to be very used to it. When the screaming died down, she placed the phone back to her ear.
Jessica said excitedly:
– Even the author I love can’t write such exciting scenes.
-…
– Since he saved a damsel in distress, isn’t it reasonable for you to give yourself to him?
The corner of Roxane’s lips trembled slightly. ‘
– Are you kidding? Give myself to him? Do you know who he is?
– I know he’s handsome!
– He’s my brother’s good friend. More importantly, he is the president of the Flores group, Sebastien Flores.
Jessica was silent again. Clearly her confidence from earlier had taken a hit when she said:
– Well, then, so what? You are so good. In fact, he might not even be worthy of you!
Roxane didn’t have as many thoughts as Jessica. She said:
– I am already very grateful that he is willing to act with me in front of Grandma and let me stay with him. I would be too greedy if I also had ulterior motives.
Jessica scoffed softly before saying:
– In any case, he really is a man of integrity! His looks alone are far superior to that bastard, Diego Rios. Are you sure you can control yourself when you face him day and night? Are you sure you won’t fall in love with him?
Roxane was feeling lazy so she turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the couch before saying in her sweet voice:
-Jessi, he’s nine years older than me. How can I fall in love with someone much older than me?
After saying this, she muttered:
– I don’t have any problems with Dad.
– What?
Jessica didn’t hear the last sentence clearly.
– I said, don’t forget you promised to treat me to fondue earlier.
“Okay, okay, I’ll treat you twice. What about it? After saying this, Jessica changed the subject again and said:
– You are right. Sebastien Flores is very handsome, but he is too old. I’ve heard that men get worse once they hit 30. If the two of you get together, it won’t be long before he becomes an old man. Who knows if he will become a wolf?RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
The girls immersed themselves while chatting. Additionally, Jessica, who had read many melodramatic novels over the years, had a very wild imagination.
Roxane laughed.
-Jessi, it’s not okay to talk about other people behind their backs. Moreover, he will definitely not turn into a wolf even after he turns 30.
– Oh, you’re not even with him, but you already defend him? she said teasingly
-Jessi!
Roxane feigned anger and punched the couch, causing the phone to fall and roll several times on the carpet. She placed the pillow in her arms and got up to grab her phone. When she straightened her back, she inadvertently looked at the door. She immediately became speechless.
