The Seventh Miserable Bride

It was already early in the morning when they left the nightclub. Several colleagues were drunk. Sebastian Simons frowned at them and handed his car keys to the team leader. "It's not easy to call a taxi now.

You should drive them home safely."

"Well, what are you going to do if you give us your car?"

"I'll just take a taxi back,"

Casting a glance at the colleagues behind them, the team leader nodded, "Well, thank you, President Sebastian."

"You're welcome. Thank you for your hard work."

After all her colleagues left, Yasmine Taylor asked, "What now?"

"I'm here. Don't worry about not being able to get home."

As Sebastian said, he took out his phone, ready to call a taxi.

"Wait a minute."

She stopped him, "Shall we walk home?"

"Walk?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows. "Do you know how long it would take to walk home from here?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care how long it'll take."

The longer the walk, the better. She had not taken a walk with Sebastian for such a long time. "Then, let's make a deal first. Don't complain halfway that you're tired and ask me to carry you on my back." "Okay, not a problem."

The two of them reached an agreement and took a step along the spacious, quiet road. Yasmine stared at the vast sky and sighed, "There are so many stars tonight."

"There are many stars every day."

"Who said so? Could you also see stars on a rainy day?"

"I can. As long as I close my eyes and imagine the stars all over the sky, it means I've seen them."

Ugh. Yasmine rolled her eyes when she heard that. She snorted, "You have an unrealistic view of life."

She lowered her head and glanced at Sebastian's hand and then at her own. Why was this guy so dumb? Both their hands were so close to each other but somehow he did not even know to take the initiative to hold her hand.

"I saw Leah tonight."

Sebastian was a little startled. "Where did you see her?"

"She said something to me in the nightclub,"

"Did you meet her when you left the room just now?"

"Yeah."

"What did she tell you?"

Yasmine raised her head and looked at him. She suddenly decided to pull a joke. "She told me everything about the relationship between you and her."

Sure enough, Sebastian was unnerved.

"There's nothing unusual between me and her."

"Really? I've already known everything, but you still wanna lie to me?"

"What did she tell you?"

"If you want to know what she told me, you must promise to answer a few questions of mine first."

Sebastian stared at her sly gaze. Although he knew it was a trap, he still promised. "Well, go ahead."

"How did you know her?"

"We met at the night club. She used to sell beer there and I helped her out when I saw that she was being harassed by several perverts."

"Oh, it seems as though you're always saving the damsels in distress. You're basically a girl's knight in shining armor. Do you like to be a hero especially in places like bars and nightclubs?"

Thinking about how he had also helped her out in the bar last time, Yasmine was indignant. Only God knew how many women he had saved over the past two years.

If every one of them was like Leah, she would definitely have a tough time.

Sebastian argued, "I happened to see her in that state, so I can't just look away and do nothing."

"What happened then? Did you two start seeing each other?" "Nope, she just discovered that I'm seeing a psychiatrist by accident. Like you, she went to ask Dr. Wadsworth about my condition. He didn't tell her, but she was very smart. While Dr. Wadsworth was consulting another patient, she took a peek at my medical records."

"And then?"

"Then we became partners,"

"Partners in what?"

"I'll bear her tuition fees in university and she'll cooperate with my treatment."

"What kind of treatment?"

A ball of fire burned in Yasmine's chest as she asked. Even though Sebastian did not tell her, she could guess it herself.

Sebastian coughed twice and sensed that the person standing beside him was burning with rage. He ended the topic, "Why are you asking so much? It's all in the past."

"Am I not allowed to ask about the past?"

"Didn't you say that Leah had told you everything?"

Upon hearing Sebastian's question, Yasmine was at a loss of words.

She was indignant but suddenly she smiled, "Do you want to know what happened between me and Gabriel?"

"Whatever. If you want to tell me, I don't mind listening to it."

Yasmine rolled her eyes at him and muttered sarcastically in her heart, "Why are you holding yourself back? You obviously wanted to listen to it so badly."

"I met him during an interview. He was my interviewer, but I mistook him for a jobless man who came for the job like I did. That time, I bragged to him that I'd treat him to a meal if the interview was successful. In the end, I really succeeded in the interview."

"And then?"

"Then I invited him to lunch, but Gabriel was such a gentleman. He ended up paying for the meal. It was as good as him treating me instead."

As Yasmine recalled her past, the corners of her lips rose subconsciously. Sebastian felt a tad uncomfortable.

"Gabriel's indeed a good man. You've been with him for a long time, weren't you the least moved by him?"

As he spoke, Sebastian pretended that he did not care. But, in fact, he cared about it very much.

"I'd be lying if I were to say that I wasn't moved at all. Facing a man who would always take care of you unconditionally, every woman would be moved."

"Were you two ever intimate with each other?"

Sebastian wanted to ask this question so badly. He was going nuts.

"If I say yes, will you be mad?"

He smiled generously, "Of course I won't. We didn't expect that we would be back together when we were separated at that time. It's normal for us to have a new life." "That's right. That's why you were with Leah."

Yasmine snorted, thinking of Sebastian faking his generous attitude. She mistakenly thought that he was making excuses for himself.

"How's the relationship between you and him?"

Sebastian asked, his heart troubled. He was anxious to know yet he was afraid to find out.

Yasmine wanted to take revenge, thus she kept him guessing on purpose. "Well... better drop this, right?"

Sebastian's heart sank. "It's okay. Just say it." He added in his heart, "I can handle it."

"It's just what you're thinking about."

"Which is...?"

His heart was no longer chilly. It was shattered into pieces.

"It's..." Yasmine paused for a moment. Sebastian's broken heart was hanging on to his throat, waiting for her confession. "Hey, why are you asking so much? It's all in the past." Sebastian's gaze darkened and he almost fainted. She stopped unexpectedly at such a critical moment, making him even more anxious.

"Why are you using my words?"

"What do you mean 'using your words'? Are you the only one who's allowed to say the same thing? Then you'd better pray that everyone in the world becomes mute so that no one would use the words you said."

The two argued with each other along the way. It was already in the wee hours when they arrived home.

Sebastian walked straight to the guest room. Yasmine called out, "Hey? When are you going to live together with me?"

He turned his head and looked at her, "When I get better."

Yasmine entered the bedroom and slammed the door shut. She mumbled exasperatedly, "I'll make sure your illness is completely healed tonight!"

She took a bath and came out of the bathroom naked. She walked to the wardrobe and picked out one of Sebastian's shirt. She heard that when a man saw a woman wearing his clothes, his inner desire would be ignited, and he would usually turn from a human being into a beast.

She arrived at the door to Sebastian's room and knocked on the door. The door opened. Sebastian looked at her up and down, his Adam's apple bobbing unnaturally.

"What's the matter?"

He purposely asked coldly but he could not avert his gaze from the beautiful woman in front of him. Yasmine stood there barefoot. She leaned lazily against the door, exuding a fascinating rose fragrance. Sebastian cleared his throat again and asked, "I'm asking you, why did you knock the door?"

Yasmine smiled seductively, "I'm already standing in front of you like this. Do you still need to ask?"

As she spoke, she hooked her slender arms smoothly around Sebastian's neck. She breathed against Sebastian's ear softly and said, "I'm seducing you."

The couple's hearts were beating rather fast. Sebastian pulled her into the room with a sudden force and closed the door behind them.

"

Yasmine felt the change of his body and thought of the gentlemanly expression he had just now. She could not help but feel angry and amused. She reached out discreetly to pinch his waist through his clothes Sebastian frowned subconsciously but he did not stop his movements. Instead, he stripped both of them naked within a few moments.
