Chapter 4 33: What are we betting on?
The next day.
Christine and Raoul came to the hospital to visit Roxane. When they saw that she had woken up, Christine was so happy that she cried with joy.
If it hadn’t been for Roxane, she would have been the only one dead.
Raoul persuaded him for a while before Christine’s tears stopped. She stayed in the room until noon before returning.
In the afternoon, Fernand brought Mathis for a visit.
Mathis climbed onto the bed and hugged her. His eyes were red as he said:
– Godmother, you are finally awake.
Roxane hugged him and patted his back.
– I’m doing well. Mumu, don’t worry.
Mathis sniffed and whispered in her ear:
– I’m afraid you’ll end up like mom and never wake up again.
Roxane’s heart sank. Thinking of Deborah’s death, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mathis. She touched his head and said in a soft voice: – I won’t. I’m just a Sleepyhead, so I slept in a few extra days.
Mathis pouted.
– Godmother is a big lazy worm!
Roxane smiled and did not refute.
Sebastien was afraid of crushing Roxane, so he grabbed her by the collar with one hand and lifted her from the bed.
Fernand wore a dark blue suit today. He had changed into a pair of round, gold-rimmed glasses. He put them on the bridge of his nose to hide the coldness in his eyes. He looked even more abstinent and refined.
– It’s good that you’re awake. You scared Sebastien so much these last few days.
Her thin and red lips opened slightly, and there was a faint smile on her face.
-I stayed by your side for a week without eating, drinking or sleeping, and I immediately passed out.
Sebastien turned his head and gave him a cold look, telling him to shut up.
Fernand smiled and did not continue.
Roxane was surprised. She looked up at Sebastian, her heart sinking and feeling guilty.
– Sebastien…
He didn’t want her to be sad, so he comforted her.
– He’s just a little dizzy. He didn’t faint. Don’t listen to his nonsense!
Fernand smiled helplessly and shook his head. Who was talking nonsense?
With Mathis in the room, it wasn’t so cold. He had been repulsed by Roxane at first, but now he was almost clingy.
Fernand and Sebastien went out to chat.
-Your brother-in-law has done a lot of little things recently. You must be prudent.
Fernand had naturally heard rumors, so he gave him a friendly reminder as a friend.
Sebastien had been in the hospital for a few days. Even when Patrice came to the hospital to talk about the business, he wasn’t in the mood to listen. Naturally, he didn’t know what happened to the company.
– He can’t even keep his cool. It seems I overestimated it. Sebastien’s tone was calm, without any trace of surprise. He obviously expected it.
Fernand laughed,
-A person who has emerged from the swamp will naturally seize every opportunity to climb! This is the name of the son-in-law of the Flores family, how can it be more practical than the money in his pocket?
Both Fernand and Sebastien looked down on people like Raoul, who climbed through unscrupulous means.
– It’s good if he can put the money in his pocket with his own capacity.
Sebastien’s thin lips curled slightly and he said sarcastically:
– I’m just afraid that my heart is higher than the sky, but my life is thinner than paper.
Seeing that he had plans for Raoul, Fernand didn’t say much and changed the subject.
– I heard that you agreed to let her go abroad?
Sebastian’s Adam’s apple moved slightly and he responded with a weak
– mm..
– Really ?
-What if I can’t stand it? Sebastien raised his head and looked at him.
-Will I let her risk her life by my side again?
Although Mylene entered, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be another Mylene.
He had been living too comfortably for two years, so much so that people had forgotten what kind of person Sebastien was!
Fernand thought for a moment.
– It’s time to clean up the trash in this city.
The two merchants, who would not get up early if there was no profit, looked at each other and seemed to have tacitly understood each other in silence.
The crisp sound of high heels walking on the tiled floor interrupted the two people’s idle conversation. When they looked up, they saw Nadia, who was wearing a short black skirt, walking like a meteor.
She swayed, beautiful and charming.
Nadia welcomed them.
– I heard that Roxane woke up, so I’m here to see her.
– Let’s go in.
Sebastian nodded.
Nadia opened the door to the room. Roxane was pleasantly surprised to see her.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
– Sister Nadia…
-You’re finally awake.
Nadia placed the fruit basket she was carrying on the table.
– I was really shocked when I saw the news.
Roxane smiled embarrassedly.
– I worried you…
Nadia pulled out a chair and sat down.
-I’m glad you’re okay.
Sebastien was not interested in the girls’ conversation. He thoughtfully closed the half-closed room and turned his head to see who Fernand was texting on his phone.
-When did you become such a talker?
His cat’s name was “shy Armstrong ERHA.
After Fernand sent the message, he put his phone away and smiled.
– The Armstrong family is very interested in this land in Coris. As luck would have it, I’m very interested in it too.
Sebastien raised his eyebrows.
-You even target the Armstrong family. Pay attention. He might fall out with you.
– A piece of land for a woman. You might think it’s a waste, but some people think it’s worth it.
– He can’t control Nadia. In his opinion, this deal was not worth it and it was very likely that it would be a waste.
The smile on Fernand’s face deepens.
– Do you want to make a bet?
-What are we betting on?
-If Quentin can bring beauty home, the sister-in-law will give birth to a daughter who will be my daughter-in-law in the future. You will also give me 10% of the shares of the Flores company as a dowry.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened and his face became cold. Her thin lips parted slightly.
– You are dreaming!
He wanted both a daughter-in-law and 10% of the shares in the Flores company. How dare he ask for such an exorbitant price!
Fernand took a step back.
– Okay, I don’t want the dowry. I’ll just take the girl.
Sebastien’s face was expressionless as he replied:
“Get lost,” he said.
Fernand shrugged helplessly. It was really hard to take advantage of him.
