Chapter 241
"Yasmine!"
Sebastian Simons shouted, "Am I such a person? I have told you that there is nothing between me and her. You know how much I hate her, so why did you say these things to make me angry?"
"Oh, are you angry? What are you angry about? Now, my husband is dating a woman behind my back. Why are you angry when I'm not yet angry? Is it even your turn to be angry?" Yasmine Taylor was really furious. When she thought that there were secrets she didn't know between Sebastian and Abigail, she felt the urge to strap a bomb on herself and die with Sebastian. On this night, the two of them had a cold war. After three nights in a row, she still didn't talk to him. Despite how Sebastian tried to make peace with her, Yasmine insisted that she would not care. She also swore that she would not be softhearted nor would she compromise.
After five days of stalemate, suddenly one day, Abigail Tanner came to the mansion.
It was an extremely sunny afternoon. Yasmine was sitting in the living room watching a movie, while Sebastian was sitting next to her. Although she still ignored him, he was shamelessly holding a book and reading it as if nothing had happened.
A beam of light reflected on his face, shining on his handsome face. He had a sharp jawline and the bridge of his nose was high.
She shifted her gaze back to the TV and continued to watch it. At this moment, Abigail came. Yasmine felt as if the sky had suddenly become dark, and the bright sunshine disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a dark cloud, which made her almost suffocated.
"Sebastian, we haven't finished our talk last time. Would you like to continue?"
Sebastian's gaze moved from the book to her. After a moment of silence, he stood up and said, "Follow
me.
Abigail followed him upstairs.
Yasmine quickly turned off the TV and followed them. This was her home. She wanted to see what the two were up to.
Seeing that Yasmine had also entered the study, Sebastian said euphemistically, "Yasmine, please go out for a while. I have something private to discuss with her."
Yasmine was stunned. When Sebastian told her to go out, he had already blatantly treated her as an outsider.
She turned around furiously and slammed the door.
Back downstairs, she told herself to calm down. Why should she insist on knowing their secrets? The darkest place in the world was a person's heart.
As time went by, in the midst of anxiety, she finally heard the sound of Abigail's high heels coming downstairs. It was disturbing.
"Mrs. Simons, I'm leaving," She gave Yasmine a meaningful smile. Yasmine's face turned pit- black again and again. She didn't understand what Abigail's smile meant.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. In fact, men are very nostalgic creatures, especially those who are faithful to love. They will only love a person in their lifetime. No matter what that person has done to make him sad and disappointed, they would always love their first love."
Yasmine was completely infuriated by the undisguised provocation. She was already pregnant, and yet she was still being humiliated by her love rival. How could she bear her anger? After Abigail left, she secretly endured her boiling anger and went upstairs.
"What do you want now? Don't you want to be with me anymore? Are you getting back with Abigail again?"
Sebastian was thinking with his eyes closed. After being questioned by her suddenly, he got up and said in exhaustion, "Yasmine, I've explained it to you many times. I met Abigail just to figure out some things. It's not the kind of relationship you think it is. She doesn't have any other thoughts about me now."
"Who are you messing with? If she had no ill intentions, then why did she just show off your love for her to me just now?"
"She's deliberately teasing you. Just ignore her."
"Oh, teasing me. Are you speaking up for her now?"
"I'm not speaking up for her. I just don't want you to worry about such an insignificant person. There's really nothing going on between us. Even if I die, I won't have anything to do with her." "Why are you avoiding me then? What kind of private matter does both of you have and you have to avoid your legal wife? Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't keep any secrets from me?" Sebastian sighed, and the exhaustion in his eyes became stronger. "Yasmine, there are no secrets between us. It's just some..."
"It's just some business matters. You don't need to ask since you're pregnant now. Am I right?" Yasmine sneered, "Don't use this reason to deceive me any more. I've heard enough."
She turned around and went out of the study room, slamming the door angrily. Originally, she thought it was just a competition in the business field, but now it seemed that it was not that simple. Lying on the bed in the bedroom, her tears flowed down, and she felt inexplicable grievance in her heart.
She didn't know how long she had been crying. Someone beside patted her on her back gently and said, "Okay, don't cry anymore. I feel distressed to see you crying like this." She reached out and shrugged him off. "Don't pretend to be merciful here."
"Let's not quarrel because of outsiders, shall we?" Sebastian leaned over to her side and forced her into his arms. He said, "No one is more important than you and the children to me." Yasmine's heart softened a little, but she was infuriated by his following words. "I've advanced your schedule to Vienna forward. You'll leave the day after tomorrow. I've changed the flight time." She pushed him away with force and said, "Are you in such a hurry to send me away? Why did you think that I would agree with your sudden decision?"
After the quarrel that night, Sebastian found that Yasmine had run away from home the next day. She did not inform anyone, but just as the bullet train was about to depart, she sent a text message to Sebastian. "I am leaving now, you can do whatever you want."
Sebastian was angry and anxious when he received the text message, so he immediately arranged for his men to look for her. He also went to the airport to inquire about Yasmine's boarding record but found nothing. She was still in the country.
He tried his best to search in his memories, but he couldn't think of where she would go. If Chuck and his wife didn't come to B City, he might have suspected that she had gone to F City. But now that there were no relatives of hers in F City, she had no reason to go there. However, he still called Gabriel Smith and asked him to pay some attention. If Yasmine went there, Gabriel would inform him immediately.
After looking for the whole morning, Madam Simons was so anxious that she wanted to call the police. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her two grandchildren. What if something happened to her? Sebastian suddenly remembered that Yasmine had been sleeping very late at night recently. When he woke up, he saw her watching TV. She was watching a real documentary, which seemed to be a love story. What stayed in his memory was that Yasmine was crying so hard and she could not hold back her tears at all.
He just coaxed her and didn't pay attention to the content of the movie, but he couldn't forget what Yasmine said. She said, "I really want to see if there is such a love."
Sebastian seemed to have thought about something. He quickly turned on the computer and searched, "56 Years: Man Who Carved 6000 Steps for Love". A lot of reports about this story appeared on Google. He quickly browsed it. It turned out to be a couple who were ten years apart but still loved each other unconditionally. However, in order to avoid the gossip of society, they ran to the deep forest to live for decades. The most shocking part was that the man used 56 years to carve a love ladder for his lover. It really was a wonderful love story. Sebastian sighed. It was no wonder that his wife was in tears. Even he felt touched by it.
He had confirmed Yasmine must have gone to the location of the Stairs of Love. After confirming the route on the internet, Sebastian rushed to the road of pursuing his wife.
Sitting on the bullet train and looking out at the scenery outside the window, this was the first time he took a bullet train. His wife would always make him experience things which he had not before. Just like at this moment, if it was not for her, why could he sit in the crowded bullet train?
Thinking of the cold war between the two of them for the past few days, his heart was extremely uncomfortable. He really couldn't bear to let his beloved woman suffer a little grievance, but there were some things he couldn't say. At least in her current situation, it was not suitable for her to know about it. How could his wife accept it when he himself couldn't?
Thinking of this, he felt cold and his body began to tremble subconsciously.
He took out his phone and dialed Fynn's number. " Fynn, I left B City. I'm on the way to L City now."
Although Fynn Jaymond had changed his name, Sebastian was still used to the name which he had called for more than ten years.
"We must hurry up on the attacks on Claudine. This time, I'll make her unable to start out again and endure the disaster of being imprisoned for the rest of her life. I'll make her wish that she was dead!" "Yes, you've collected all the information for the anticorruption bureau, haven't you? You can discuss it with your father. If there's no problem, you can hand them in immediately."
"Okay, call me if there's anything happens. I'm not sure about when I'll return yet,"
The train arrived at L City the next morning. After getting off the train, Sebastian went straight to his destination. There were several hotels near the deep forest leading to the Stairs of Love. He asked one by one whether there was a woman named Yasmine staying in the hotel.
He had asked several hotels but he failed to find Yasmine. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He kicked away the stone under his feet. How could this d*mned woman not feel tired when she was pregnant with two children?
She was still able to travel and lived a much carefree life than a man.
He did not give up and continued to look for her. Finally, at the last hotel, he and Yasmine bumped into each other.
The moment Yasmine saw him, she was very surprised, but she soon calmed down. She asked coldly, "Why are you here?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you this question? What are you doing here?"
"It's none of your business."
