The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 54

Yasmine Taylor found a quiet place to take the call. "Hello?"

"Where is your classmate's home?"

Sebastian Simons's sudden question made her even more uneasy. "Why do you ask this?"

"I happened to pass by T City on my business trip. If the wedding is over, I can take you back on the way."

In an instant, she felt relieved. She declined politely, "No, thanks. I'll stay for another two days. You can go back first."

"Oh, it's all right, then."

He hung up the phone decisively without even asking her how she was. Yasmine did not mind as it was already a miracle that he called her proactively.

When she returned to the coffee shop, she was in a cheerful mood. From a distance, she saw that Richie Lind was quarreling with his son so she hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yasmine, I don't want to go home with Dad. I want to be with you."

Leighton Lind's tears were worthless. He cried easily even though he was already in his twenties.

"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I'll break your legs."

When Richie was about to take action, Yasmine hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough, Godfather, don't you have something else to do? Leave Leighton to me. I'll send him back."

"Is this okay? Will it bother you too much?"

"It doesn't matter. No problem."

"Okay, I'll go first, then. Call me when you've arrived safely."

Richie nodded slightly at Linda, turned around, and left after saying goodbye.

Linda Taylor did not look fine from the moment Richie appeared. The more Yasmine was calm, the more she became irritated. "Don't think that I will believe you just by your colluding with each other and acting in front of me. Listen carefully. One day, I will tear off your mask mercilessly and make you feel ashamed to live in this world!"

"Then, you listen carefully as well. The person who should go to the deepest level of hell is definitely not me."

After saying that, Yasmine held Leighton's hand and walked out of the coffee shop with her chin up and chest out.

"Yasmine, where are you taking me?"

"Home."

"I won't go home unless you go home with me..."

"All right, I'll go home with you."

She sighed and took out her mobile phone. As expected, she saw an unread text message. "I've done what I should do. I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible." The sender was Richie.

Her mood, which had just been brightened, began to darken again.

On the way to the airport, she hesitated for a long time before she said to Leighton next to her, "Leighton, when you're home, tell your Dad that you don't like me and don't want me to be your wife, okay?"

Leighton was stunned and answered truthfully, "But I like you and I want you to be my wife."

"Your liking me doesn't mean I have to be your wife. Besides, you don't understand what it means to like someone."

"I understand. Mom said that you like someone if you miss someone. The person I miss the most is you, Yasmine."

"That's not like, it's dependence."

"I don't care what it is. Anyway, I just like you!"

In the face of his child-like innocence, Yasmine felt really helpless.

After a three-hour flight, Leighton was finally sent home safely at ten o'clock at night. His mother was so joyful to see her son back that she had no time to rebuke Yasmine. She cried and laughed at the same time, all the while holding her son until he fell asleep on her shoulder.

Seeing that Leighton had fallen asleep, Yasmine stood up and took her leave. Although Madam Lind was upset, she could not force her to stay. She just urged her to solve the problem in City B as soon as possible, and then come back to Leighton's side to fulfill her promise to take care of him for the rest of her life.

Yasmine was already exhausted when she walked out of the Lind family mansion. As she flew back and forth between City B and T City these two days, not only was she physically drained, but she also had to endure inhumane mental torture.

She was really tired of living such a chaotic life, where she had to tell a lie to cover another every day. But what could she do? At this point, there was no turning back...

She did not know where to go, so she walked aimlessly on the empty road. In fact, she could have stayed over at the Lind family's house for a night, but she did not want to, because she knew that it would be difficult for her to get away when Leighton woke up the next day.

When she was at a loss, she thought of Sebastian inadvertently. He had said that he would pass by T City on his business trip. Could he be in T City at this time?

Trying her luck, she dialed his number, but no one answered the phone even after it rang for a long time. However, she did not give up and tried calling again. A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who's speaking?"

Yasmine thought that she had dialed the wrong number, so she deliberately brought her phone to the front of her eyes to confirm. It was right. It clearly showed Sebastian's name. How could it be picked up by a woman? What's more, it was in the middle of the night, the time at which the occurrence of a one- night stand was most probable?"

"I'm Sebastian's wife. Who are you?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then she heard Sebastian's voice, "What's the matter?"

"Are you having s*x?"

"... Why are you so straightforward?"

"What's wrong? Are you really having s*x?"

"That was my friend..."

"Hey, Sebastian, do you also have female friends? I thought I was your one and only female friend."

"I haven't finished. Why did you interrupt?"

"Oh, go on."

"That was my friend's wife."

Yasmine did not believe it. "Why did your friend's wife pick up your phone?"

"I went to the bathroom. She saw that you had been calling and thought that there might be something urgent, so she picked it up for me."

"What about your friend? Why didn't he pick it up?"

"He went to the bathroom, too."

"Who are you trying to bluff? You have such a good relationship with your friend that you both have to go to the bathroom together?"

Sebastian snorted grumpily and said, "Then, do I have such a good relationship with you that I have to explain to you who I am with or who I go to the bathroom with?" "You were the one who said that as long as the marriage hasn't ended, we should be loyal to each other! Come on, give me your address."

"What for?"

"I don't believe what you said. I want to use a wife's right to inspect."

She was initially thinking about an excuse to meet him, but now she had a good reason.

"Are you really coming?"

"Yes."

"Well, the entertainment room on the second floor of Emerald Business Hotel,"

Sebastian quickly reported the address. Before hanging up the phone, he did not forget to make fun of her. "If you're coming, then be quick. Be careful not to be penny wise, pound foolish."

No matter how hard Yasmine tried, she could not understand what he meant. It was not until she came to the hotel where Sebastian was and saw him that she understood the meaning of his words.

The large business hotel was fully equipped with entertainment facilities. The entire second floor was full of areas for customers to have fun. There were billiards, karaoke, bars, spas, restaurants, a swimming pool, and so on.

She did not know where he was exactly. When she was about to call him to ask, a waiter came over respectfully and said, "Hello, are you Mrs. Simons?"

Yasmine was stunned for a moment and nodded blankly. "Yes." "Please follow me."

Following the waiter to the swimming pool, she caught a glimpse of Sebastian's figure moving in and out of the water. When she was about to call him, someone behind her was one step ahead of her and said, "Hi, Miss Taylor, we meet again."

She turned around in horror. When she saw the person who called her clearly, her face suddenly darkened. It was such a small world; to come across Sebastian's riffraff in this place.

Three men in shorts were lying on the three chairs, surrounded by several beautiful women. All of the women were plump and curvy, and were massaging the hunky men energetically with each of their ten fingers. The men were clearly enjoying themselves.

"Come and sit down."

Jeremy Urs waved at her. She reluctantly sat down and laughed hollowly. "Why are you all here?"

"Business trip."

"What a coincidence for all of you to have a business trip here at the same time."

Marcus Zaneson shook his head and said, "Not all. Did you not notice one person isn't here?"

"Three out of four have come. Round it up and it will mean all of you are here."

Kaleb Lorris sniggered and said, "Miss Taylor, your calculation is so clear- cut. I'm sure that you are usually very straightforward."

"Didn't Sebastian say it? Don't be blinded by the innocent look on the outside. In fact, I'm a petty person," Yasmine said. "How could it be possible? To me, Miss Taylor has noble manners. I heard that your family is also doing business, am I right?"

"Yes."

"What's your father's name?"

"Henry Taylor."

Jeremy was quite surprised. "Could it be Henry Taylor, the construction guy who always currying favour with us?"

Kaleb glared at him and said, "Why do you speak like this? You are too disrespectful toward Miss Taylor."

The fact that her father always flattered others was already widely known. Yasmine did not feel ashamed of it, because it was already a shame to be Henry Taylor's daughter.

So, she admitted generously, "Yes, that's my father."

She admitted it so frankly that Jeremy felt a little embarrassed. He patted his chest and promised, "Since he is your father, we will take care of him as much as we can in future."

"Thank you."

"By the way, why are you in T City?"

Marcus asked curiously.

"I have a classmate who's getting married, and I'm here to attend the wedding."

"Oh, it's no wonder that Master Sebastian made a detour. It's so that it'd be convenient to take you home." Yasmine raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Aren't you all just passing by here?" Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Of course not. We could have gone back to City B directly, but Master Sebastian said that he had to do something in T City, so we came all the way here to accompany him."

"I see." Yasmine was flattered.

She got up and strode along the swimming pool. Then, she waved to Sebastian and said, "Hey, come up."

Sebastian glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. She continued to wave her hand and said, "Hey, come on up. Come up quickly."
