The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 102



Scott saw Sebastian, too. Although his expression was not as panicked as Yasmine, there was a complex look in his eyes. "Take your coat."

Yasmine quickly shrugged off Scott's coat and stuffed it in his hands. She ran towards Sebastian's car. Watching Yasmine's back as she ran away from him, Scott felt as if an arrow pierced through his heart. "Honey, please don't misunderstand. It's definitely not what you think."

Yasmine tried to explain once she got onto the car.

Sebastian glanced at her coldly. "If it wasn't what I thought it was, then why did you lie?"

"I was just afraid that you'd misunderstand."

"So, I won't get the wrong message now?"

Yasmine sighed. "If I had known better, I wouldn't have lied."

"I think you've gotten used to lying."

Sebastian snorted in a self-deprecating way. "You're used to treating me like a fool."

"It's not like this. I'm sorry, my dear. I promise I won't lie to you again. Even if you don't forgive me and quarrel with me, I won't lie to you anymore. From now on, I will not hide any secrets from you." Sebastian did not pay attention to her. He kept his eyes on the road and drove very quickly.

"I didn't even know Auntie Claudine's son was Scott until he came. I know that both of you aren't on good terms, so I didn't tell you that he was there. I didn't want you to worry." Yasmine continued to explain, she did not care if Sebastian was listening to her.

"He suddenly came to see his mother. When I saw him, my eyeballs almost fell out. I didn't know their relationship beforehand. If I had known earlier, I would never have gone for dinner in the first place." "You know me best. If I had any feelings for Scott, I would have accepted him a long time ago. Why wait until now? I only see him as a friend, a colleague and a leader; anything but a lover. Because dear, you' re everything to me. My heart can only fit one person and that's you."

Yasmine tried to explain the whole way home, but Sebastian did not listen. By the time they arrived, Sebastian parked the car in the garage and immediately walked up to the house. Yasmine followed him closely, "Dear, did you hear everything I just said?"

"Can't you just say something? Please."

The two of them went up the stairs. Sebastian did not enter the bedroom. Instead, he went into the study room and closed the door with a loud bang, leaving Yasmine standing alone outside the door, not knowing what to do.

Ring ring... Her phone rang. It wa Scott. She hung up the phone without hesitation and placed it back into her bag. But Scott was still persistent, so he sent a text: "Are you okay?"

She quickly replied, "I'm fine."

Thereafter, Scott stopped texting her.

Yasmine turned around and walked into the bedroom. After a while, she walked out with a piece of paper written with words and went into the study room. She opened the door and passed the paper to Sebastian, "For you."

Sebastian glanced at it, then looked away and ignored her.

"Read it. I wrote it from the bottom of my heart. This is the only time I'm writing you a letter, there'll be no more letters."

Yasmine stuffed the paper into his hand. Sebastian was fed up. He crumpled up the paper into a ball and threw it into the bin.

"You..."

Yasmine was so angry that her veins on her neck were bulging. The letter she painstakingly wrote, he threw it in the bin without even reading it.

"Fine. If you want to be angry with me, suit yourself. I've got no time for you."

She snorted angrily, turned around and closed the door with a bang, leaving the room upset.

When his surroundings became quiet, Sebastian bent down slowly and picked up the crumpled paper from the bin. He uncrumpled the paper and flattened it so that he could read: "Dear husband, I was wrong today. I know that I made a mistake. I should not have been worried about you getting jealous and lied about Scott. I have reflected on my actions and so, I assure you that: Firstly, I'll never hide anything from you. If I ever do, please punish me accordingly. Secondly, I'll never go over to anyone's house for meals, be it a friend's or a stranger's. Thirdly, I'll never meet Scott alone outside of work. I'll remember the above rules and act accordingly. If I were to break any one of them, you can kill me on sight."

"Hmph!" Sebastian snorted angrily and threw the paper into his drawer.

Yasmine waited for him throughout the night, but he did not come back to the room to rest. Having said those harsh words, she felt embarrassed to look for him, so she went to sleep alone. After dawn, she got up very early. She went to the study room to take a look but he was not there. She went to the guest room and sure enough, he was there.

Sleeping in separate rooms again? Just because of that insignificant character, Scott? She finally realized that Sebastian was one who got jealous more easily than a woman. When she got off work in the evening and went home, Sebastian had not come back. She really wanted to call him, but she felt that she was in no position to do so.

So she waited. She waited until 8 o' clock, until dinner was already over and yet he still had not come home. She could not resist any longer and called Sebastian. "Hello? Who is it?"

It was a woman who picked up the phone. Yasmine was stunned and asked, "Where is Sebastian?"

"Sebastian is swimming. Would you like to leave a message?"

"Who are you?"

"Do I have to tell you that? If you have nothing to say, then I'm going to hang up, Sebastian is asking for me."

"Wait a minute." Yasmine stopped her. "Which swimming pool are you at?"

"Melody Swimming Arena,"

the woman said plainly then hung up the phone.

Yasmine quickly changed her clothes and drove straight to Melody Swimming Arena. As she passed by a shopping mall, she went in and bought a bikini.

What a petty man! Now he had gone too far. She would teach him a lesson today, or her name would not be Yasmine Taylor!

She parked the car and hurriedly brought the clothes into the arena. The night was getting cold but thankfully the arena was warm. Yasmine went to change her clothes and came out walking confidently in her bikini.

She looked around and saw Sebastian lying on the lounge chair. What made her angry was that there was not only one, but two beautiful women sitting beside him.

Yasmine went to the chair next to him and lay down. She coughed twice to attract his attention. Sebastian turned around and looked at her. He was somewhat surprised when he saw Yasmine but he quickly regained his composure.

"Lucie, do you think there are still women who can't swim in this day and age?"

Sebastian deliberately asked the woman next to him. The woman named Lucie smiled shyly and said, "Women who can't swim in this day and age? They should be called dinosaurs."

She was already in a bad mood before she came, but when she heard the metaphor, she was furious. Still, Yasmine suppressed her anger and decided to wait for Sebastian's reaction. She knew that Sebastian was intentionally provoking her. If she reacted, she would have fallen into his trap.

"Have you ever seen a dinosaur like this?"

The two women shook their heads and said, "No, we haven't."

"Then, do you think people who come to the pool can swim?"

"That's for sure. What's the point of coming to the pool if one doesn't know how to swim?"

The other woman Nana echoed, "Yes, that's right."

Yasmine was so angry that she felt her heart ache. She was going to curse Sebastian in her heart, but when she thought of how well his parents treated her, she decided otherwise. "Both of you go and swim. Whoever swims faster, I' II reward her with a pigeon egg." "Really?"

Both Lucie and Nana's eyes lit up at the mention of pigeon egg. Sebastian nodded and said, "It's a deal."

"Okay."

The two stood up excitedly and walked to the edge of the pool. With a splash, both of them plunged into the pool. Yasmine was staring at the surface of the pool. She was concealing her awe for the girls swimming in the pool when suddenly she heard a piercing voice: "What's the matter? Are you jealous? Dinosaur."

Sebastian intentionally lingered on the word 'Dinosaur'. Yasmine glared at him and scowled, "What's so great about knowing how to swim? No one knows how to swim without learning."

"But there are people who can't swim even after learning."

"I haven't even asked anyone to teach me. How do you know if I can't swim after learning? Hmph."

Yasmine stretched and walked around the swimming pool in her bikini. She could feel pairs of eyes staring at her. She knew how seductive she looked in a bikini. She could see it in Sebastian's eyes. "Hi, Miss, are you alone?"

Soon, someone came to talk to her. She smiled and nodded. "Yes."

The person who greeted her was a muscular man with bewitching eyes. He seemed like a ladies' man.

"Why aren't you swimming?" "I don't know how to."

Yasmine knew that Sebastian was staring at her, so she purposely talked with the muscle man.

"No way! Miss, you have such a good figure. Why don't you know how to swim?"

The muscular man was very surprised.

"Well, I was wondering if you have time to teach me?"

Of course, the muscular man was more than happy. He agreed, "No problem. I'm actually a swimming instructor."

Yasmine followed the muscular man to the pool. He jumped down first, then opened his arms and said, "Come on, jump into my arms. I'll catch you."
