AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Jonas got up and walked out with the painting. Roxane was stunned and asked:

– Where are you going ?

– Put the painting in the car, in case you damage it. He walked out without looking back.

Roxane pouted and sniffed.

“You can exploit me as much as you want now. When I give birth, you won’t be able to exploit me even if you want to.

Jonas, who was walking towards the door, suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. His eyes were full of surprise.

– You are pregnant?

“Not yet, but it will happen sooner or later,” she shook her head and said with a smile.

Jonas’ long eyelashes fluttered slightly. He lowered his head to hide the fleeting emotion in his eyes, but he said nothing.

Sebastien returned with two fish. Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, he asked kindly:

– What are you talking about ?

Jonas looked at him and said nothing. He went out and Sebastien looked at Roxane with a perplexed look.

She stepped forward and held his arm. His eyes fell on the fish in his hand.

– Uncle is good at raising fish.

Sebastien asked again:

-What were you talking about earlier?

Roxane took the fish and said before entering the kitchen:

– I just told him he couldn’t exploit me anymore after I had a baby.

After that, she closed the kitchen door.

Something crossed Sebastien’s eyes, but he kept it a secret.

***

For this meal, Jonas alone had two plates of sweet and sour fish. Sebastien and Roxane didn’t even receive a single piece.

However, since they could eat fresh fish every day, they would not fight with Jonah over it.

After the meal, Roxane was sleepy, so Sebastien asked her to go upstairs and rest.

She nodded. Before going upstairs, she said to Jonas:

-Wait until I wake up before leaving. I’ll pick peaches for you when I wake up. The peaches here are delicious.

Sebastian went to wash the dishes while Jonas sat in the living room for a while. He got up and walked towards the kitchen door. He looked at this man who was related to him by blood but who had married the girl he loved. He had mixed feelings.

Until now, he still couldn’t treat Sebastien like his big brother, nor establish a relationship with him.

Even if they were just ordinary friends.

Sebastien stood with his back to him, but his back seemed to have eyes. He knew he was standing at the door and his voice was light.

– She won’t get pregnant, don’t worry.

Jonas’ expression froze. He immediately stepped forward and questioned her in a serious tone:

– What do you mean ?

Sebastian didn’t look up and gently wiped the oil from the bowl with a cloth.

– She took that hit for me earlier and injured her neck. The doctor said her pregnancy was very risky.

Sebastien’s low voice rang out, accompanied by a slight sigh.

– She passed out in the lake last time because of that.

Therefore, he would never dare and never allow Roxane to become pregnant.

Jonas was surprised.

– You don’t plan to have children for the rest of your life?

– It is enough for me to have him in this life. Sebastien put the bowl away.

Roxane seemed to be eager to have a child with Sebastien. If she knew she would never have one in her life, she would be so sad.

– I asked Patrice to make an appointment for the operation. I’ll tell him when it’s done.

Compared to the child, he was more concerned about whether he could grow old with Roxane.

– You will not regret it ? Jonah was also a man, and he knew that every man wanted his own child.

It was the continuation of his life, a sort of inheritance.

Sebastien turned off the tap and turned to look at him. His eyes were calm and cold. His thin lips parted slightly and he said:Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

-If something happens to him, I will regret it until I die.

Jonas left before Roxane woke up.

In the past, he was still worried and had a trace of despicable hope in his heart.

He looked forward to the day in the future when Sebastian’s love for her wouldn’t be so intense. He waited impatiently for their love to be overcome by reality. In that moment, he would have the chance to embrace his own love.

However, Sebastian’s words today made him clearly and sadly recognize a reality.

Sebastien’s love for Roxane would never be inferior to his own, and his love would never have results.

Jonas was driving along the wide road. The afternoon sun shone through the windshield and landed on his hand that held the steering wheel.

The Buddhist bead necklace on her wrist was silent, but it also gave off a faint scent of sandalwood.

Buddha said that the sea of bitterness was limitless, but the shore was turning back.

And he had been immersed in this false love for a long time, unable to escape.
