The Seventh Miserable Bride

He was about to lose control. He did not expect that his plan would have gone so smoothly. He knew that she must also want it now. Before Yasmine could say anything, he already pulled her out of the cinema and pushed her into the car. They immediately drove to a five-star hotel.

"Get off the car."

Sebastian Simons urged her, but she refused to budge. "What are we doing at a hotel?"

"Satisfying our desire, hurry up."

He dragged her out of the car and ran straight into the hotel elevator. Yasmine Taylor asked in surprise, "Don't you need to get a room?"

"I have already got us a room."

"Oh, so you have already pre- planned everything, huh?"

Sebastian took out the room card and entered the room. As soon as the door closed, he kissed and nibbled her enthusiastically. Yasmine pushed him away, "Let me take a quick shower first." She was sweating in the cinema earlier.

Sebastian wanted her so badly that he had almost lost his patience, but Yasmine insisted on taking a shower first. He smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll hop in the shower with you."

When they eventually came out of the bathroom, his phone on the bed had been ringing loudly for God- knows how long. He immediately dialed Tiffany's number back and put it on speaker mode. He heard Tiffany bellowing: "Sebastian, where the h*ll did you and Yasmine go? You guys have gone too far this time. Why did you ask Fynn to look after your children? Do you think that he is your nanny? You better get your ass over here in the next 30 minutes or else, I will bite off your head!"

Yasmine put her clothes on in horror and said with fear, "Let's go. She sounds pissed and when she's pissed, she's one scary woman to deal with."

Sebastian hung up the phone and laughed at her. "Look at you, why do you look so guilty? You look like you have something to hide."

"We do have something to hide. Do you really think that this is some social engagement?"

The two of them walked out of the hotel. On their way over to Tiffany's, Sebastian asked Yasmine, "Why have you been giving me the cold shoulder recently?"

"Who said so..."

"Who said so? You didn't even want to share a bed with me at night."

"I need to look after the kids."

"Last night I shifted the kids to the other side of the bed, but you still did not respond to me."

Yasmine bit her lip and she said with a grievance, "Because I was angry."

"Angry? Why were you angry?"

"You went to France for 3 months. May I ask just how many times you called me during those 3 months?"

Sebastian thought for a moment, "Ten times... no, nine times."

"How many times?"

"Eight."

"Think again, how many times did you really call me?"

"...Seven times."

"I'm asking you one last time, how many times did you call home?"

Sebastian lost his self-confidence. "Six times."

"Well, now explain it to me, why did you only call home six times when you went away for three freaking months?" "Because... I was busy with work."

"Is that so? You were busy with work, huh? Then, who's Rosina?"

Sebastian's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you know about Rosina?"

"Hmph, if you didn't want anybody to know about it, then you shouldn't have done it in the first place!"

"Honey, you've wronged me. There's nothing going on between me and Rosina!"

"Did I say that there was something going on between the two of you? Why do you look so guilty?"

"I am not guilty. I am just afraid that you would misunderstand..."

"Since there is nothing going between the two of you, what are you afraid that I will misunderstand? Do I look like I am such an unreasonable woman?"

Honey, are you alright? Why are you being so aggressive?"

"Aggressive? Just moments ago, you were complaining that I've neglected you. I am just speaking the truth. How am I being aggressive?"

"Well then, I should also tell you the truth. Rosina is just my business partner. We had dinner that night when you called, and I was too drunk. So, she kindly answered the phone for me." "Kindly answered the phone? So, I should thank her then?"

"No, you don't. You just need to calm down."

Yasmine cocked her head, "You only called home six times in that three freaking months that you were away. My anger will not subside for a long time."

"What can I do to make you happy then? Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I won't say no!"

"You don't have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames. I will be going on a vacation with Lily starting tomorrow. While I am away, you're going to have to look after our kids." Sebastian's face fell. "How could I possibly take care of our kids alone? I can't do it without you. I still have a lot of things to do at work."

"You have Fynn, so you don't have to worry. You went away for 3 months and the company still managed to operate without you."

"It's the summer right now, where are you guys going for holiday? Besides, how is it possible for a man like me to take care of the kids alone..."

Yasmine did not budge. "Then, how did Scott take care of his kid?"

Sebastian gulped. "He only has one child, but we have twins. Mom's not here, and the nannies are on leave. If you go on holiday, then how could I, a man, take care of the kids alone?"

"I don't care. You promised me that you would carry me on your shoulder and let me do whatever I want for the rest of your life. You said that you were going to obey me unconditionally no matter what I said." Sebastian began to act as though he had forgotten. "Ah, did I say that before? Why don't I remember?"

"I dare you to say it again."

"Honey, I honestly don't remember..."

"Do you need me to repeat what you said, so that you would have a better impression of it?"

"Well, tell me. Let's see if I can remember what I said."

"Two years ago, our kids were born

on the sixth day of September. It was in autumn. You hugged Smiley

and said, "Oh, dear, don't you think that our daughter looks like me?

told you that our children were ne

twins. So if you said that our daughter looked like you, doesn't that mean that our son would look like you as well? Then I said, how could I get nothing in return after carrying them for 9 months?"

"You promised me at that time: Who said that you would get nothing in return? You said that you already love me to death and that you will carry me on your shoulder anddet me do whatever I want once Heave the hospital. You also said that you were a man of your words..."

Yasmine finished reciting his words. "Tell me, do you remember saying those words?"

Sebastian nodded, "Yes, I remember now. However, I was just trying to ease the situation and make you happy, so it doesn't count. I think you'd better not travel with Lily. It's been a long time since the four of us spent some quality time together..."

"Sebastian, I'll strangle you to death! How dare you say that you only said those words that day because you were trying to ease the situation and to make me happy! You liar!"

Soon, it was already winter. Sebastian insisted on taking his wife to visit a photo exhibition. Yasmine initially did not want to go, but in the end, she reluctantly agreed to accompany him to the exhibition.

She was not interested in those photos, so she just took a glance at them. Pointing at the crowd in front of him, Sebastian said, "Let's go there and have a look."

He held Yasmine's hand and stood

in the crowd. At that moment, Yasmine's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe that 50 meters away from where they were standing, was a picture of her and Sebastian Back when they visited Hokkaido. She had long thought the picture was lost because it was saved inside the phone which Claudine Tucker had thrown out of a building window a couple of years ago. Now, when she saw the picture, she had an impulse to cry...

"What do you think? Are you surprised?"

She nodded vigorously. "Yes! Where did you get this photo?"

"Didn't you realize that you had sent me a copy of this photo from your phone back then?"

"No, why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't you know how important this photo is to me..."

"I just wanted to give you a surprise. Don't forget that today is our sixth-year anniversary."

"I did remember, but I thought you forgot."

"You silly, how could I forget? The sixth-year anniversary is a very special one. If we managed to get through the first six years, then I am confident that we will not be cursed by the seven-year itch." Yasmine broke into a smile through her tears. "I really couldn't tell that you're such a hopeless romantic, given your usual actions."

"Will there be any mystery left in me if I let you see through everything?"

Sebastian put his arm around her shoulder, "Where do you think we should hang this picture when we take it home?"

"We should hang it in our bedroom. That way, we would be able to see it first thing in the morning."

"Sounds perfect."

The shiny diamond snow was the witness for the hardships that the couple had gone through together. The relationship under the diamond snow was their lifelong belief.

Yasmine was dreaming of the day when she would be able to point to the photo and tell her grandchildren, "Do you want to listen to a story? Let me tell you a story about redemption and faith, which is the best memory of my life..."

For six years, they started off as young lovers and now they were at different stages of their lives.

He was part of her memories and he will be a part of their future memories together.

He was the most important part of her life.

In our lives, there would always be one person who could make us laugh our heads off, cry our hearts out and think the most deeply.

They would teach you everything about love and give you the ability to love.

The reason why he came to this world was to meet you.

In the next life and in the life after that, I hope we can meet again. I hope at that time, you would still be able to make me feel whole and complete, and I hope that our love would still be everlasting.
