Chapter 4 39: I don’t eat
The next day, when Roxane opened her eyes, it was already late in the morning. His throat was a little dry. When she sat up, she saw a glass of water on the bedside table. A smile appeared in his eyes. She reached for the glass and found that the temperature was perfect. It was neither too hot nor too cold.
After drinking the glass of water, the bedroom door was pushed open. Sebastien was dressed more casually and comfortably at home. He was good-natured, without his usual inaccessible aura, and had a warm base.
– You’re awake.
Her thin lips parted slightly, her voice soft. He sat down and gave her a morning kiss.
Roxane nodded.
– What time is it?
– Ten o’clock.
Roxane’s eyes widened.
-Is the little aunt here?
It’s over, little aunt will definitely think I’m a big lazy worm.
Sebastian nodded.
– She’s drinking coffee downstairs. The person you are looking for hasn’t arrived yet, so you don’t have to worry. Wash yourself first.
Roxane pouted and complained:
– Everything is your fault. I already said I wanted to rest, but you insisted.
Sebastien easily admitted his mistake.
– Yes, it’s all my fault. Do not be angry. I’ll carry you to wash you and help you change your clothes, okay?
He raised his voice at the end and spoke in a passionate tone.
At first, she was a little embarrassed by his meticulous care, but as time passed, she could now enjoy his service with complete peace of mind.
Sebastien first carried her to the bathroom and prepared all the toiletries for her. Then, he turned around and picked out some clothes for her from the closet.
In summer, you should wear bright and beautiful clothes, like a rose in full bloom.
Sebastien had chosen a red dress for her. It had matching pearls, and it was exquisite and cute like a little princess.
When Roxane was doing her skincare routine, he would stand behind her and help her do her hair. Her slender fingers gently ran through his hair and tied it into a bun, which he wasn’t very familiar with. There were a few strands of hair that he hadn’t tied up, and they hung on both sides of her forehead, making her look even more beautiful.
Roxane looked at the man in the mirror with a smile in her eyes.
– Sebastien, you can even comb your hair into a bun now. You are even better than the real Sebastien.
– What? He raised his eyebrows.
Roxane reacted and explained:
– There’s a movie called “Super Marines” and Big White is a robot in it. He is amazing in everything! A lot of people liked it, and so did I!
Sebastian’s eyebrows twitched and something flashed in his eyes. He leaned over and whispered in her ear: “Something? Including Jin’s?
The scene from last night flashed through Roxane’s mind and her beautiful face turned red. She pinched his arm angrily and said in a gentle voice without any deterrent:
-If you continue to talk nonsense, I will really ignore you.
Sebastian’s thin lips curled into a smile, and his warm palm wrapped around her small hand.
– OK, I won’t say it. If we don’t go down, little aunt will be anxious.
He held Roxane’s hand as they went downstairs.
Vanessa had finished two cups of coffee. Seeing them slowly descend the stairs, she couldn’t help but say in a strange tone:
– You can come down later, just in time for lunch.
Roxane blushed and bit her pink lips, not daring to refute.
On the other hand, Sebastien said calmly
– You had a late breakfast. You can postpone lunch.
Vanessa looked at him coldly. He really dared to say that!
Roxane was too embarrassed to eat breakfast. She pulled on Sebastien’s hand and whispered:
– I do not eat. I’m just going to have lunch.
– No, Sebastien’s voice was deep and cold, and he said firmly,Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
– I have to have breakfast.
Roxane couldn’t argue with him, so she asked Vanessa for help.
Vanessa knew Sebastien’s character. He would not go back on his word. Furthermore, he considered Roxane his baby. If she didn’t let her baby eat, he would immediately become hostile.
– Let’s go eat. It will be a while before they arrive anyway.
As the elders had said, Roxane obediently went to have breakfast with Sebastien, her eyes looking at Vanessa in the living room from time to time.
Sebastian’s warm palm patted his little head.
– Eat well.
Roxane pursed her lips and concentrated on her meal, not daring to be distracted.
……
At 11 o’clock, the media personnel arrived first. They were all traditional media personnel who had worked with the Flores Corporation a few times and were more trustworthy.
Sebastian asked the butler to take care of them and let them sit down to rest, drink tea and eat snacks.
Ten minutes later, Logan and another man dressed in a black t-shirt and army green pants walked in with an old lady with white hair.
When she saw Sebastian, her face was filled with shock. Fear and panic flashed in her eyes and she quickly lowered her head.
Sebastien’s attention was on Roxane and he didn’t care who had entered.
Vanessa leaned back on the couch in a relaxed manner, scrolling through her phone. She glanced at the person who came in and said in a weak voice:
– This is the person you are looking for.
– W-why are you looking for me?
Roxane sat up straight with her hands in front of her. She looked up at the old grandmother in front of her. She seemed nice. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have known that she had done so many bad things!
– Let me introduce myself first. I am Roxane Alvarez, the wife of Sebastien Flores.
The corners of his lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes.
– I don’t need to introduce who Sebastien is, do I?
The old lady’s face was full of panic. She stammered,
– J-young master.
Sebastian looked up lazily and looked at her. He pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
There were many servants in the Flores family. Besides, after so many years, she was old. It was even more impossible for him to recognize her at a glance.
However, he was a little curious. Why did you ask a servant to come back?
-Now, do you know why I asked you to come? Roxane asked.
She wanted to give him one last chance, hoping that he would take the initiative to tell her what happened back then.
