Chapter 10: Surprise, my baby!
Patrice was shocked that Sebastien touched a woman’s hand. After all, he didn’t even spare a glance for the fairer sex, let alone physical contact with them. For this reason, he felt like a mother looking at her adult son and was about to cry tears of excitement when he saw Sebastien holding Roxane’s hand.
At this time, Sebastian withdrew his hand expressionlessly and carried the bowl of noodles into the dining room. He briefly glanced at the thin noodles and green onions sprinkled on it, which gave off a faint fragrance. After placing the bowl on the table, he said in a low voice:
– You can ask the kitchen to make you dinner the next time you’re hungry.
Roxane, who followed him, pursed her lips before saying:
– There is no need to disturb anyone. I can cook it myself. THANKS.
Sebastian stood in front of the dining table, motionless as he looked at her.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward and strange.
Roxane broke the silence and asked superficially:
– Mr. Flores, you came back so late, have you eaten? Do you want a bowl of noodles too?
Patrice was about to refuse on Sebastien’s behalf because he knew he rarely ate after 8 p. m.
To Patrice’s surprise, Sebastien said: – Okay.
– ???
Roxane: …

Luckily there was extra chicken broth and she only had to prepare the noodles. Therefore, it didn’t take much effort to prepare another bowl of noodles.
When she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, Patrice had already left.
After placing the bowl of noodles on the table, Sebastian could smell the faint fragrance of the noodles. He thought it couldn’t be that bad. However, after taking a bite, he found that it exceeded his expectations; it was quite delicious.
Roxane, who had chosen the seat farthest from him, lowered her head and silently ate her noodles.
Sebastien put down his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a piece of cloth before saying:
– Christine woke up.
Roxane looked up from her bowl of noodles and said with bright eyes, clearly happy:
– It’s good to hear.
She sighed inwardly with relief. It turned out he came back because of Christine. Fortunately, she was fine. Otherwise, she thought he would definitely report her as a fraud to the police.
Sebastien’s dark eyes fell briefly on Roxane’s foot before asking:
– Is your foot okay?
She had sprained her ankle at her wedding. Sebastian knew about this, but he didn’t ask about it because he really had no interest in the opposite sex. He only asked this now because he was in a good mood that Christine had regained consciousness.
Roxane said:
– It’s been going well for a while now.
Sebastien nodded and replied in a low voice:
– All right.
After that, he got up and turned around, walking to the second floor.
Once he left, Roxane felt the pressure disappear and she let out a long sigh of relief.
A few seconds later, Sebastien’s deep voice rang out.
-Roxane Alvarez.
-Oh?
Roxane stood up in shock and almost knocked over her bowl. She turned and looked at the man standing at the foot of the stairs. She was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.
“Don’t tell me he’s going to ask me again how I know about Miss Flores’ situation?”
The panic in Roxane’s eyes did not escape Sebastien’s attention before he swallowed the question with the tip of his tongue. Instead he said:
– The noodles are very delicious. THANKS.
Since she didn’t want to say anything, he wouldn’t ask. She was clearly very afraid of him. It didn’t matter how she knew about her sister, the important thing was that her sister woke up. Everything else wasn’t important.
With these words, Roxane’s heart calmed down. Then she smiled and replied in a soft voice:
– It was nothing.
– Anyway, the ingredients I used and the cooking belong to you.
…
The next evening.
Roxane had just left the classroom when she was suddenly kissed. Then, she heard a voice ringing in her ears.
– Roxy, my baby, surprise.
