The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 49

Of course, Lily Adams realized that she was being followed. So, as soon as she entered the house, she shouted, "Yasmine, come out, come out quickly..."

"What's wrong? What the hell?"

Yasmine Taylor, who had just taken a hot shower, walked to the living room while tying her bathrobe.

"It's worse than hell. Sebastian is here."

Yasmine's body suddenly stiffened and her eyes dimmed. "Did you tell him?"

Lily raised her hand. "I swear I didn't."

"How, then, did he know I'm here?" NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"How would I know? I met him at the school gate, and I did as you instructed. I didn't expect that he didn't believe it when even Scott had believed it. He's indeed a wicked yet smart businessman."

Yasmine walked to the window, opened the curtain, and saw an unfamiliar car through the gap. However, the person leaning against the car looked extremely familiar.

"It seems that he's sure that you are here and he's waiting for you,"

Lily, who was leaning on her shoulder, asserted firmly.

Yasmine thought for a few seconds, then she turned into the bedroom to change her clothes and strode out. "Hey, you won't just forgive him like this, will you... Hey, Yasmine, have you forgotten how he treated you..."

Lily shouted at her back, but she turned a deaf ear to it and left.

Sebastian, staring purposefully at the woman coming towards him, slowly straightened up and snuffed out half of the cigarette in his hand.

Yasmine stood in front of him, glanced at the cigarette butts scattered on the ground, and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want?"

"Is your hand getting better?"

"Does it have anything to do with you? Who am I to you?"

Left speechless by her sharp words, Sebastian lit another cigarette.

"Tell me why you're here."

"I'm quite worried about you."

He was telling the truth, but she laughed sarcastically. "You're worried? You think this can make up for what you did? Sebastian, I'm not a three-year-old child, and you don't have to pretend to be merciful here."

"I know you're very angry now..."

"So?"

Yasmine interrupted him, hoping in her heart that he could say the word.

"So I'm very apologetic. I really didn't remember that you had claustrophobia at that time." "It's not surprising at all. You could treat me as a bet and leave me to your friend. How could you remember what illness I'm suffering from?"

"You were the one who said that your self-respect was worthless."

"No matter how worthless it is, it doesn't mean that I don't want it. People like me, who don't possess many things in life, have not yet been extravagant enough to abandon anything worthless."

The atmosphere was in a deadlock for a moment. Both of them fell silent and no one spoke again.

After a long time, Sebastian broke the silence first. "Come back with me."

"Say this to me only when you really realize your mistake."

Yasmine turned around and left. The moment she turned around, a miserable smile appeared on her face. What she wanted to hear was just the word "sorry". However, the arrogant man refused to say it no matter what.

Two days after Sebastian came to see Yasmine, Scott came to look for her.

She had no idea how he found out that she did not actually go on a trip. Anyway, no one told him the news, and he just dropped by.

When Yasmine was about to go out to see him, Lily, who was sitting on the sofa, said sourly, "You haven't lost your popularity..."

Back in their college days, Yasmine was a well-known campus belle in B University, and many boys chased after her. It was a night in the summer. The soft wind caressed people's faces, making them feel refreshingly cool.

"Principal Jules, what can I do for you at such a late hour?"

Scott smiled playfully. "Don't act like a stranger." Seeing that her hand was wrapped with a bandage, he grabbed her and asked, "What happened to your hand?"

Yasmine glanced at the window on the second floor and as expected, saw the figure of Lily. So she slowly withdrew her hand and answered faintly, "Nothing."

"Did you quarrel with Sebastian?"

"No."

"Then, why are you staying here?"

She sighed and said, "Scott, I realize your feelings for me, but I'm already married. No matter how much you care about me, it's useless. Why waste your time on me?"

"Yasmine, you're the only one I want."

Women's hearts were fragile, especially after they were hurt by another man.

Yasmine was touched by Scott's words, but she did not waver. "If there's nothing else, I..."

"Why don't you have supper with me? You owe me from last time."

She was stunned and embarrassedly said while pointing to the watch on her wrist, "It's too late, isn't it?" "What to do? I came here with an empty stomach. I thought my luck would not be so bad that I would be rejected every time."

"Then, can we bring Lily along?"

He shook his head. "I just want to be with you."

Yasmine was still struggling when Scott had already opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation. "If you still refuse today, I will start collecting interest. The number of meals will rise by the multiple of two. If you don't want to accompany me for that many meals, you should return the debt as soon as possible."

She sighed helplessly and got into the car.

In the past few days, Sebastian's tension with his father had eased, but he was still in a bad mood.

When they were having dinner in the evening, his mother deliberately let out a long sigh in front of him. "Alas, when my daughter- in- law is away, nothing is delicious. I wonder when Yasmine will come back."

Her daughter immediately said, "Mom, don't look forward to it. Sister-in-law might not come back for the rest of her life."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister-in-law is your brother's wife. Where will she go if she doesn't come back?"

"The world is so big. She can go anywhere. To be honest, Sister-in-law has endured long enough. If I were her, I would have left much earlier."

The mother and daughter echoed each other. Obviously, they had noticed Sebastian's gloomy look, but they still rubbed salt in his wound to upset him.

Sebastian threw his fork down on the table and said, "I'm full." Then, he turned around and went upstairs angrily.

At night, when his family was asleep, he took his car key and went out of the house under the silvery moonlight.

He drove all the way to his destination and parked in the dark. When he took out his mobile phone to make a call, he hesitated. Last time, the woman made it clear that she wanted him to see her only after he realized his own mistake. He actually knew that she wanted him to apologize to her. After thinking about it, it was not that difficult to say sorry, but when he really had to say it, he still could not get himself to say it.

Just as he was hesitating, a silver Mercedes Benz flashed in front of him and stopped 50 meters ahead.

He frowned unconsciously and stared at the two people who got out of the car.

Scott was very excited after drinking some wine tonight. He stood in front of Yasmine and said reluctantly, "Time always flies when I'm with you. I really hope that time can stop at this second."

Yasmine smiled and said, "You're making it sound like we're parting forever."

"It's all because you always refuse to spend time alone with me, so I particularly cherish every minute and second when I'm with you."

"The things you can't get are always the best. If I agree every time you ask me out, you won't cherish our time together anymore."

Scott took a step forward in surprise and asked, "So, you refused me just because you wanted to play hard to get? You don't really refuse to be with me, do you?"

Yasmine touched her forehead and sighed. If she had not noticed Sebastian, she would not have forced herself to talk so much with Scott.

"Of course not."

"Not what? You don't refuse to be with me?

He deliberately twisted her words and looked at her defending herself eagerly. Suddenly, the playful expression on his face disappeared and he said seriously, "Ah, don't move, there seems to be something crawling on your head."

She was stunned. Before she could figure out what was going on, he lifted her face and planted a deep kiss on her forehead.

With the help of alcohol, Scott did what he had always wanted to do. Even if he was slapped in the face, he would not regret it.

Yasmine was stunned by his sudden kiss and was petrified on the spot. When she came to her senses, she felt indescribably embarrassed.

"If you don't slap me in the face, I'll leave now."

Scott smirked and he looked a whole lot more energetic than before.

When there was someone happy, there would be someone angry. At this moment, Sebastian, who was sitting in the car, was so frustrated that he could not bear it anymore. He opened the door with a bang, clenched his fists while striding to Scott, and gave him a hard punch.

Scott had a sudden blackout and fell to the ground. Yasmine screamed and yelled at Sebastian furiously, "Are you crazy? Why did you come and fight in the middle of the night?"

"So you're aware that it's midnight? What's he doing to you at midnight?"

As soon as Sebastian finished uttering those words, Scott gave him a punch and the war broke out completely. The two men fought fiercely for a woman. Yasmine could not stop them no matter how hard she tried.

Scott was a mixed martial arts champion, while Sebastian was a master of Taekwondo. They were equally skillful, but both of them were seriously injured by one another.

Seeing that it could not go on like this, Yasmine spotted a gap and squeezed to the front of Scott, forcing Sebastian to hold back his fist that was raised in mid-air.

"That's enough! Who are you to hit him here? Reflect on yourself first before blaming someone else. Before you ask what he has done to me, think about what you have done to me!"

Yasmine deliberately favored Scott. After yelling, she took the handkerchief from her pocket and turned around to gently wipe the blood off the corner of Scott's mouth.

Sebastian looked at this scene coldly and he felt indescribably awful. How much hate did she have for him that she had to provoke him like this?

The sense of defeat surrounded him tightly. After three years, this was the first time he had lost his mind for a woman again.
