AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Olivia had accompanied Josh to M City to attend an economic exchange, so she had to come and support him when she had time.

Hayden and Madison visited them before their trip because they were planning to live on an island overseas for a few years. They didn’t know when they would see each other again.

Today, Sebastian also brought Divine and Dael, and they took turns hugging them.

Divine was particularly open-minded and did not refuse anyone. Anyway, they were all pretty aunts and uncles. Her little mouth seemed to have been coated in honey as she kept praising them for their beauty.

Dael didn’t speak much and after greeting them politely, he stood next to Sebastien, without asking for a hug.

Roxane accompanied them to the art exhibition and generously shared her inspiration from her painting, including the meaning of the painting.

After the end of the exhibition, Sebastien offered everyone a meal.

Men were not talkative people. From time to time, they talked business, but most of the time, they took care of the women next to them.

Josh had already been seriously ill and almost lost his life, so he hadn’t touched alcohol or cigarettes. James Anderson, on the other hand, had a special identity and could be on a mission at any time, so he hadn’t touched alcohol either.

Isabella, for her part, had a few drinks with Sebastien and Hayden on James’ behalf.

Sebastian and Hayden looked at each other and thought: only the third young master would dare to marry such a woman!

James wasn’t worried about Isabella getting drunk. He was more worried that the other two would get drunk.

After all, his Bella was the goddess of wine in the capital and couldn’t get drunk even after a thousand glasses!

His phone suddenly rang. His expression changed slightly and he said simply:

– I know.

After hanging up, he heard Isabella ask in a casual tone:

– Is there a mission?

He nodded. It was inconvenient for him to reveal more information because there were other people around.

– Find a hotel to sleep in later. I’ll come pick you up after I finish my work.

– Bye!

Isabella waved her hand.

James stood up and apologized to them. He didn’t have time to stay and left in a hurry.

They were all aware of James’ special status and didn’t care if he left halfway. They could live a peaceful and stable life because countless people like him carried the burden on their shoulders.

After the meal, Sebastien and Roxane invited them into the house.

As they had nothing to do anyway, some readily accepted.

By the time they got home, Divine was already sound asleep, while Dael had returned to her room and changed into her pajamas before taking a nap.

Roxane accompanied Olivia and Madison on a tour of the house, while Sebastien accompanied Josh and Hayden for tea.

Compared to the girls who talked about their happiness, the three men sat around the coffee table and looked at each other in silence. It was a bit like the Three Kingdoms.

The only thing that broke the mood was the sound of crying upstairs.

Sebastien quickly put down his cup of tea, said

– Excuse me. and quickly got up to go to the second floor.

After a while, the crying upstairs didn’t stop.

Josh’s thin lips parted slightly.

– This little girl is quite noisy.

He also had a daughter. Fortunately, his daughter was very obedient and sensible and never worried him.

Hayden had two twin daughters. One was lively and charming, while the other had inherited her mother’s sleeping habit, so they weren’t as noisy as this one.

– Ms. Flores has a gentle personality. It looks like she doesn’t take after Madame Flores.

What he meant was that Divine’s loud personality was similar to Sebastian’s.

Sebastian didn’t know what was wrong with Divine, but she started crying as soon as she woke up. She cried so hard that she was out of breath and her little face turned purple.

He couldn’t convince her, so he had to ask the servant to invite Roxane back.

Roxane rushed over and looked at her daughter in her husband’s arms. She was crying so hard she was almost out of breath. She reached out to hug her and comforted her gently:

– It’s good. Mother is there !

Divine hugged his neck tightly and her tears fell on his neck. She sobbed:

– Mummy mummy…

Roxane gently patted her on the back and patiently comforted her.

– Mother is there. Do not be afraid…

Divine buried her face in his neck, tears streaming down her face.

There were still guests downstairs, so Sebastien went down first.

Isabella, Olivia and Madison entered. Their hearts melted when they saw the little girl crying in his arms.

-Did you have a nightmare? Olivia asked in a soft voice.

Isabella touched her little face.

– Do not be afraid. If you have another nightmare and say your Aunt Isabella’s name again, you will no longer be afraid, no matter if you are a human or a ghost.

Madison was the only one leaning against the table. She glanced at the little girl’s tight lips, deep in thought.

Roxane cuddled Divine for a long time before she stopped crying and took her to wash her face.

She then invited Isabella and the others downstairs.

Madison borrowed Divine’s bathroom and didn’t come down. When they all came downstairs, she saw the little girl sitting on the couch with red eyes. She came over and sat down next to her.

– What did you dream of?

Divine, who was holding the doll in her arms, stopped when she heard his words, as if she hadn’t heard her and continued to play with her doll.

Madison sat on her side, elbows on the back of the couch, palms supporting her face. His posture was lazy and relaxed.

-Aren’t you afraid that what happened in your dream will come true?

Divine’s body was clearly trembling, and the tears that had just stopped came to her eyes again. She looked at her and said in a strangled voice:

-I… I don’t want my parents to die.

She had a terrible nightmare. In the dream, his mother had died and his father had also died.

-You want mom and dad to live to be a hundred and stay by your side, don’t you? Madison said, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Divine nodded seriously.

“I can help you, but if you do this, you’ll never be able to see things like this in your dreams again, and…” Madison paused, her expression serious.

– You can’t tell anyone about it, including your parents and your brother…

Divine sniffed and said in a baby voice:

– Of course.

– Pull the hook! Madison stuck out her little finger. It’s a secret that only belongs to the two of us.

Divine made him a little promise.

Madison smiled sweetly and touched her cute little face.

– Good girl. It’s a shame I don’t have a son. Otherwise, I would have taken you home as my daughter-in-law.

Divine shook her head.

– It will not work. Brother Mathis said I will be his wife when I grow up.

Madison laughed so hard her body shook. She wondered what Sebastian would think if he heard that.
