Chapter 31: Mr. Florès the benefactor
When they arrived at the Moon Pavilion, Roxane suddenly remembered something. She asked:
– Oh okay. What did your grandmother talk to you about?
An unknown emotion passed before Sebastien’s eyes. He didn’t answer her. Instead he said:
-Your grandmother loves you very much.
Hearing this, Roxane raised her chin proudly and said:
– Of course ! I have been by Grandma’s side since I was young. It’s natural that she loves me so much.
Sebastian felt his heart soften when he saw the bright smile on her face. He smiled and said:
– Rest early.
She nodded.
– Good night.
When she closed the door to her room, she finally realized that Sebastian hadn’t answered her question.
“Forget it. Grandma must have told him to take good care of me and treat me well.”
After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed and let out a contented sigh. After closing her eyes for a few seconds, she suddenly sat up. She took her phone and looked for things Sebastian had brought earlier. The more she searched, the more her heart sank. They cost almost half of his small savings.
Despite her grief, she still had to return the money. She didn’t want to take advantage of him. She opened her WeChat and transferred the money to him. After transferring the money, she clicked on the Moments tab. She had uploaded the photos of the mooncakes she had today. Jessica had posted moments, complaining about the mooncakes her mother was making. After clicking “Like”, she returned to the chat and discovered that Sebastien had not accepted the money or responded to her message.
– Is he sleeping ? Or has he not seen the message yet?
She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she sent another message.
Roxane: Are you sleeping?
The answer came immediately this time.
Sebastian: ?
Roxane: ???
Sebastien: ???
-Why didn’t you answer me if you haven’t fallen asleep yet?Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at the line of question marks, itself filled with question marks. His blond fingers were tapping quickly on the phone.
Roxane: You brought a lot of gifts to my house earlier. I can’t let you spend more money when I’m the one who asked for your help.
After sending the message, she saw a line of ellipses indicating he was typing.
After three minutes…
Sebastien: No need.
Roxane, who was staring at the phone, felt her lips twitch. She couldn’t help but laugh as she imagined him typing on the phone like an old person.
“Based on his typing speed, it seems he doesn’t chat often.”
At the same time, she sent another message.
Roxane: I know that money is nothing to you. However, my grandmother taught me from a young age that I should not take advantage of others. Mr. Flores, my great benefactor, you have…
There was also an adorable kitten emoji at the end of her post.
This time his response came quickly.
Sebastien: You can pay with food.
A moment later, she answered.
Roxane: You mean you want me to cook to repay the debt?
Sebastien: Yes.
Roxane: How many meals will it take to repay this debt? *cat crying*
The things he had given away were very expensive, after all.
Sebastien: One year.
Roxane remembered their arrangement to stay married for a year. In other words, she would pay off the debt for the duration of their marriage.
Roxane: Deal!
Roxane: What do you like to eat? Tell me in advance. I can cook most things! Even if I don’t, I can learn! I will make sure you are satisfied!
Cooking was very easy for her.
Sebastien did not respond to his message. She thought he must have fallen asleep so she didn’t send any more messages. As she looked at his name, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She quickly changed her name on her phone to “Lord Flores”.
After Sebastian put his phone down, he continued to dry his hair with the towel. His phone suddenly vibrated. He froze slightly when he looked down and saw the words ‘Dr. Sha’ on his phone.
