The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 160

That night was of great significance to the Simons family. Therefore, Titus Simons and Madam Simons, who would usually sleep early, were still awake. They were sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for their son to come home.

Tiffany Simons was hiding upstairs and she did not dare to come down. She did not tell her parents that Yasmine Taylor had gone out.

She knew that she had made a mistake, so she decide to hide.

At 11 o'clock, there was a sound of a car engine outside the door. The couple stood up and rushed out of the living room. They thought they would only see their son. they didn't expect to see Yasmine come out of his car as well.

Titus looked at them steadily. When he saw that they were holding hands in the distance, his face instantly sank.

Sebastian could clearly feel Yasmine's nervousness. He tightened his grip on her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid. You should go upstairs first. Leave this to me."

Yasmine did not say anything, nor did she do what Sebastian had instructed her to do. She was not planning to let Sebastian face his parents' wrath all by himself. Instead, she went forward and faced her parents-in-law and knelt down.

"Yasmine, what are you doing?" Sebastian's eyes widened in shock. He reached out to help her up, but she stopped him.

"Yasmine, what are you..."

Madam Simons was also shocked by Yasmine's actions, and she had a blank and puzzled look on her face. Old Master Simons did not move at all. He had already guessed what had happened.

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I brought Sebastian back.

I thought I could do what you hoped for me to do, but it turned out that I couldn't do it at all. I couldn't bear my husband sleeping with another woman. Even if you don't accept me as your daughter-in-law,

I won't live the way you had asked me to."

The couple did not speak. Sebastian growled, "Get up, let me talk to them."

He couldn't stand his parents' attitude towards Yasmine, and he was even more afraid that they would say something that would make her change her mind. He knew that even if Yasmine's heart was with him at this moment, in the face of this cruel reality, her determination could collapse at any time.

"I was the one who caused all these. If Mom and Dad refuse to forgive me, I will never get up."

Yasmine knelt down in front of her parents-in-law stubbornly. Sebastian told her that from then on, she had to learn to refuse all unreasonable demands. However, she was a traditionally-educated woman who would not openly resist her in-laws, but she would use her own way to prove that she would not give in.

The situation was in a stalemate for a moment. Finally, Madam Simons opened her mouth and said, "Alright. Get up now."

"Have you forgiven me, Mom?"

Madam Simons sighed and nodded slowly. "Yes."

Yasmine looked at Titus. "Dad, do you feel the same way as Mom does?"

Old Master Simons did not say anything. He turned around and returned to his room.

"Get up. His silence is his approval."

Madam Simons helped her up and then signalled to her son beside her. "It's getting late. You're tired too. Go upstairs and have some rest."

Sebastian grabbed Yasmine's hand and dragged her upstairs without looking back.

Madam Simons entered the living room and saw her husband sitting on the sofa, staring at her angrily. She walked over and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm glaring at you because you didn't take a firm stance."

She shook her head helplessly, sat down beside her husband, and said patiently, "Will you be able to solve this by forcing her? Don't you know what your son's temper is like? If I hadn't threatened him with my life that day, did you think that he would have agreed to your unreasonable request? He probably would have left this house a long time ago."

Titus snorted and said, "Then let him leave. I'm his father and I was threatened too!"

"Then don't hide in the office alone while secretly looking at his pictures."

"When did I look at his pictures?"

Old Master Simons was a little embarrassed.

"Humph. Do you really think that I don't know about it? When our son was so angry about what we did to Abigail that he ran away from home, you would hide in the office every night, murmuring to his photos for ages. Just because I didn't say anything doesn't mean that I don't know. I just didn't want to expose you."

"So what? He did come back eventually, didn't he?"

"That's because Yasmine played a certain role. Do you think your daughter-in-law will still try to bring your son back if you offended her?"

Madam Simons' question left Old Master Simons speechless. In fact, he really did not have that kind of confidence.

"Well, don't be angry. I know you are eager to have a grandchild, but let's settle this matter slowly. There will always be another way."

With her husband's support and her parents-in-law's forgiveness, Yasmine saw a glimmer of hope in her dark life. The next day, she got up early and went to her secret room and opened the Chinese medicine that the old man had given her in Mount Emperor. After a moment of thought, she took it downstairs resolutely and decided to try it as a last resort.

Madam Simons smelled the strong scent of Chinese medicine when she woke up. She followed the smell and arrived at the kitchen. When she saw her daughter-in-law standing in front of the kitchen stove and fanning the fire, she asked doubtfully, "Yasmine, what are you doing?"

Yasmine turned around and saw that it was Madam Simons. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Mom, I'm boiling some herbs."

"Herb? What kind of herb?"

"It's a Chinese remedy given to me by a Chinese doctor. He said that it could cure my infertility."

Madam Simons saw a glimmer of light in her daughter-in-law's eyes. She said with pity, "And you trust him?"

Yasmine lowered her head and said gloomily, "Well, things couldn't possibly turn any worse for me, could it? It doesn't matter if I believe him or not. As long as there is hope, I will take it. If I don't believe it, then there is no hope at all."

Madam Simons was silent and she looked at Yasmine with regret. Then, she sighed heavily.

"Mom, you will support me, right?"

Yasmine was careful with her words.

"I am also a woman. I understand your pain better than any of the men in this family. So, as long as there is hope, I will support you."

Yasmine was so moved that her eyes were wet. She said with a throaty voice, "Mom, thank you."

After drinking the Chinese medicine, she went upstairs. Sebastian had already woken up, but he stayed in bed and didn't get up. When he saw her enter the room, he put his hands up and said, "Come here."

Yasmine went over straight away. She bent down and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Come closer. I think there's something in my eye. It's so itchy that I can't stand it."

Sebastian pointed to his left eye.

Yasmine immediately bent over and examined his eye carefully. "I don't see anything."

"Take a closer look."

"I've looked very carefully. There's really nothing."

Just as Yasmine was about to stand up, Sebastian stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he turned over and pinned her under his body. He kissed her forcefully with his overbearing and hot lips, hooking her tongue with his own. He was gentle yet the kiss was incredibly passionate.

Sebastian was kissing so violently that Yasmine was almost out of breath. It was not easy for him to let go of her. She took a deep breath, then she rubbed her red and swollen lips. She protested coyly, "How could you take advantage of me so early in the morning? You're so annoying!"

"Is that Chinese medicine I tasted?"

Sebastian thought he tasted Chinese medicine in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes at her with an evil smile. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

It was a Sunday with good weather and Lily Adams didn't get up until noon. Scott Jules was already gone by the time she woke up. She saw a note on the table in the living room. "I'll be back late today. Please have your meals yourself."

It had been only a week since they got married, and Lily had not cooked in the kitchen, save for the cafeteria duty in school. It was not because she was lazy, but because she didn't know how to cook.

At first, she suggested that Scott ordered in. However, after eating takeouts for three days in a row, Scott was aware that he married a woman who did not know how to cook.

Hence, from the fourth day onwards, Scott took it upon himself to cook. She was not embarrassed. She ate whatever he cooked, because it was an unspoken rule that the man would cook and the woman would eat.

Scott had prepared all three meals the day before, but he was not home that day. How was she supposed to cook all the meals by herself? After washing up, she went to the refrigerator and took

out a pile of snacks, which was her way of solving the problem.

She turned on the TV and chose a variety show to watch while eating the snacks. She felt quite comfortable. This was her usual routine when she was still living alone. During weekends, she'd sleep until the sun was up, then she would laze on the sofa while eating snacks and watching TV. After marrying Scott, she didn't want him to see her lazy self, so she pretended to be an elegant lady. Outside of her working hours, she would either check on her students' homework or read a good book whenever she was home.

Although Scott knew that she could not cook, he was deceived by her pretense.

As she was eating happily, the door opened all of a sudden. She was so scared that her hands trembled and the potato chips all fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?"

She looked at the two large men in front of her. She panicked. They looked like they were going to eat her up. Just as she was wondering, another person walked in from outside the door. The moment she saw the person, she suddenly understood what was happening.

"Mom..."

Lily felt weak.

Claudine Tucker's face darkened. "Who's your Mom? Don't disgust me."

"Madam Tucker, what are you doing?"

Lily endured the grievance in her heart and referred to her as the Madam instead. She thought to herself, "Go to h*ll, who wants to call you Mom?"

"What am I doing?"

Claudine had a sinister smile on her face. "What do you think I'm doing?"

Lily just didn't want to say it out loud. Of course she understood what was going on when she saw the two strong men.

"Please wait if you want to kidnap me. My stomach hurts."

Lily bent her body and was about to run to the bathroom with her hands on her stomach. Unexpectedly, one of the strong men pulled her back the moment she stepped out.

She pretended to be in pain and said, "Mom... Oh, no, Madam, my stomach really hurts. Let me go to the bathroom first please. You can do whatever you want afterwards, okay?"
