AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Sebastien went upstairs after doing the dishes. Roxane slept soundly in the pink gauze sheets. Her long hair fell behind her, like a sleeping princess.

He lifted the muslin sheet and lowered his head to kiss her face.

Roxane felt something and reached out to push it away, burying her head in the sheets.

Sebastien lifted the sheet and looked down to search for her lips.

Roxane was woken up by him and muttered:

-Jonas…

Before she could finish, Sebastian covered her lips, not giving her a chance to speak.

The sunlight outside the window was very good, and the spring light in the room was even better.

Sebastien held her in his arms and kissed her lips lovingly. He called her again and again impatiently in a deep, hoarse voice:

– My angel, my angel…

It was enough for him to have his angel in this life.

***

Sebastien only noticed Roxane’s strange behavior a month later. The person who was usually the most cheerful was recently dazed.

She always complained about being hot, hungry and sleepy.

Sebastien was worried and wanted to take him to the hospital for an examination.

Although Roxane didn’t want to go, she couldn’t change Sebastien’s mind and eventually went to Quentin’s family hospital.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

They first took a blood test and the results came back after half an hour. The doctor’s expression changed as soon as he saw the results. He asked cautiously:

– Madame Flores, have you had a good appetite recently? or did you have a lack of appetite?

– She has been eating and sleeping a lot lately. She seems to be more afraid of the heat than usual.

Sebastien knew Roxane’s daily habits like the back of his hand. He even knew her physical condition better than she did.

The department head’s expression has become complicated and ambiguous:

– So… Are Ms. Flores’ periods still normal?

Sebastien was stunned.

– Her period… is two weeks late this month.

The doctor’s expression became even more complicated. He hesitated for a long time before getting ready and saying:

– President Flores, why not ask a gynecologist to check Mrs. Flores again? she could, she could be pregnant!

But President Flores had just undergone a vasectomy last month, how could Mrs. Flores be pregnant?

Or… Was President Flores cuckolded a few months after his marriage?

Sebastien’s face darkened when he heard the words “Obstetrics and gynecology.”

– His dark eyes stared at Roxane’s delicate and innocent face with a complicated and dark look. He took a few deep breaths, opened his thin lips and said a sentence, called the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department here.

– Eh, okay.

The manager wanted to make a call, but he thought of something when he picked up the phone. He put it down, got up and personally went to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Only the two remained in the office. Sebastian’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were cold, and his molars were almost broken.

– When did you discover it?

– What? Roxane said innocently.

– Roxane, this is a serious matter. Don’t be stupid! Sebastian couldn’t suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth.

Seeing that she couldn’t hide it, Roxane touched the tip of her nose.

-The last time Jonas came to our house, I heard everything you said.

Sebastian’s eyebrows moved slightly and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.

– But I took safety measures every time. How could you…

He paused, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn’t believe it.

Roxane reached out and pulled on his shirt with a bright smile.

– I secretly inserted needles into each of them. Sebastien I’m very intelligent, aren’t I?

Sebastien’s face was so dark that ink could flow from it. He pushed her hand away and lost his composure, which was rare.

– Roxane, who asked you to make your own decisions? Do you know that you are playing with your life like this? you are irresponsible towards yourself, towards me and towards our parents, you know that?

In his anger, he could not control the strength of his hand. Roxane’s hand turned red from her slap. The smile on his face gradually became sad.

– You didn’t even tell me you had a vasectomy, are you already responsible for me? Roxane’s eyes turned red, but she suppressed her grievances and said:

– By what right do you deprive me of my right to be a mother without saying a word!

-I’m doing this for your own good!

-Are you really treating me well when you think you’re doing it for my own good? Roxane replied:

-What is the difference between you and those parents who kidnap their children in the name of love? I’m your wife, not your daughter. Why can you take away my right to choose just because you said it was for my own good?

Sebastien was speechless at her question and didn’t know how to refute it.

Roxane lowered her head and placed her hands on her flat stomach.

– I told myself it was destiny. Now it is God who gives us this child.

She loved children, and she loved even more this child who belonged to her and Sebastien.

Sebastien took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. He tried to persuade her

– But it’s very dangerous. Roxy, we can’t have children. We can just be together…

Roxane immediately understood what he meant and interrupted him with a determined look.

– Seb, I want this child! I won’t give up on him!

Sebastien was stunned. His Adam’s apple rolled several times, and he felt as if a knife was cutting from his heart to his throat.

– You won’t abandon him? So what about me? Her thin lips were slightly parted, and her low voice was mixed with grievance and disappointment. So you chose him and not me?

Roxane was silent. The dream she had when she left M City two years ago came to her mind.

In his dream, Seb was holding a girl in his arms. The girl was really cute and her facial features were similar to Seb’s, but her eyes were very similar to his.

It wasn’t the same, it was exactly the same thing.

So, it was her daughter with Sebastien!

She looked at him and said in a soft voice:

“I want you, but I also want our daughter.

– But Roxane.

Sebastian still wanted to say something but was interrupted by her.

– Seb, I love children and I also want to be a mother. Can you let me volunteer just this once?
