The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 187

"What? He's really staying?" Yasmine Taylor frowned.

"Yeah, what an annoying b*stard. I'm so pissed off."

Yasmine rubbed her forehead, "Okay, I'll hide outside for a few days. Be careful with him."

"Alright! You should take good care of yourself too..."

As soon as she hung up the phone, a voice suddenly called out behind her, "Do you owe someone money?"

She was shocked and looked back in panic. "No."

"Then why must you hide outside for a few days?" Gabriel Smith asked.

Yasmine glared at him embarrassedly. "Why did you eavesdrop on my conversation?"

"I just happened to walk past here. I overheard it accidentally." Gabriel smiled grumpily. "Do you need help?"

"No, you can't help me," she said.

"What's the matter? How would you know that I can't help you if you don't tell me about it?"

Yasmine was annoyed. She didn't want to talk much to him so she got up and walked to the pantry. Gabriel followed her. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

He took a cup to get some coffee while waiting for Yasmine's answer. Yasmine was annoyed by his questions, so she told him frankly, "I was engaged to a man when I was twelve, but then I married another man. Now I am divorced, so the father of my ex-fiance is coming after me. He wants me to go back to his son."

"... Ahem." Gabriel choked on his coffee. He raised his head in shock. "You were married?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me about it?"

Gabriel couldn't believe what he had just heard. The woman in front of him was at most twenty-five or twenty- six years old. Her skin was fair and her figure was beautiful. She didn't look like a divorced woman at all.

"Why would I even tell you this?" Yasmine rolled her eyes.

"But you have to mention it at least," he said.

Yasmine scrutinized him with a scowl. "Why should I mention my relationship status to you? Do you have any improper thoughts about me?"

Gabriel was silent. Yasmine huffed and said, "It seems that it's true. You have feelings for me. Now that you heard I'm a divorced woman, you didn't even have the courage to admit it."

"I was just thinking that... your love life is really complicated..."

"I've never said that I'm a simple person."

Yasmine shrugged and put down the cup in her hand. She turned around and went out of the pantry. After cleaning up her desk, she picked up her bag and left the company. She came to a hotel near the company. When she was ready to register and check in, she realized her ID card was not with her. As a result, she had to leave awkwardly and wander on the streets.

Honk honk. A car was honking behind her. She looked back in confusion. It was Gabriel, who had been haunting her all day.

"What?" She raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Are you homeless now? If you refer to me as a good friend, I'll take you in for a night."

What? She turned her head grumpily, "Who wants you to take me in?"

Gabriel got out of the car and handed her a bunch of keys. "Okay, you're lucky that I'm such a kind person. Go ahead. No. 1061, the fourth building of Soarity Apartment. It's my spare apartment and I'll lend it to you for a few days."

"No, thanks, I have a place to live."

Yasmine refused to accept his kindness.

"Don't be stubborn. You can't go home, and you don't have your ID card with you. Where are you going to live? Are you going to sleep with beggars on the overpass?" he asked.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Yasmine was tempted to accept his offer. Gabriel understood her concerns. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in divorcees."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, she accepted his offer and said, "Thank you."

"Come. I'll send you there." Richie Lind stayed in Chuck's house for five whole days, but Yasmine never came back. He asked around during the day, but he couldn't find a woman named Yasmine Taylor. Finally, he believed that Yasmine didn't come to her uncle. On the fifth day, he left with his luggage.

Yasmine was happy to receive a phone call from her uncle. After getting off work, she ran to the director's office and put the key on Gabriel's table. "Thank you for your help in the past few days. I can go home today."

Gabriel raised his head, "Congratulations. Are you leaving now?"

"Yes, I'm leaving."

"I'll send you," he said.

"You don't have to—"

Yasmine didn't get to finish her sentence, and Gabriel had already left the office. She sighed helplessly and followed him out.

When she arrived at her uncle's house, her aunt was already waiting at the door. They saw Gabriel for the second time, and Mindy Yard was already familiar with him. She greeted him warmly, "Mr. Smith, thank you for sending our Yasmine home again."

"You're welcome. I was heading towards this direction too."

"Yasmine is so lucky to have met such a good superior like you." Mindy looked at her niece and asked, "Where did you stay for the past few days?"

"She stayed at my place."

Before Yasmine could answer, Gabriel had already answered it for her.

"Ah? Did you live together?"

Mindy was startled.

"No! I stayed at his vacant apartment. He lent it to

me.

Yasmine quickly explained when she saw that her aunt had misunderstood. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Oh, I see..."

Mindy smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Smith didn't make it clear. I thought you were..."

Once again, she let out an awkward laugh.

"By the way, I've prepared a lot of dishes today. If you don't mind, Mr. Smith, why don't you stay and eat with us?" Mindy offered.

"Aunt, it's alright. He's not used to the meals that we usually have."

Yasmine did not want Gabriel to stay.

"It's okay. It's my pleasure to be invited in for a meal. I most certainly wouldn't mind."

Chuck Lorris had also just gotten off work. The four of them sat around the square dining table. Apart from Yasmine, everyone else at the table were all chatting happily. Gabriel was an excellent conversationalist and a good drinker. After a few glasses with Chuck, he had won Chuck's favor.

The meal was filled with liveliness. After dinner, Yasmine went to the kitchen to do the dishes. Mindy secretly asked Gabriel, "Gabriel, to be honest, are you somewhat interested in Yasmine?" Gabriel was cool as a cucumber. He smiled calmly, "A little bit."

"Do you know... that our Yasmine was divorced?" "Yes," he said.

Mindy was quite surprised. "You know that she's divorced, and yet you are still interested in her?"

"I like her because she has something that is worthy of my heart. It has nothing to do with whether she has been divorced or not."

"Oh, my God, Gabriel, you're so kind. It's a blessing for Yasmine to meet you, but unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately?" he asked.

Mindy's nose twitched, and she told Gabriel about the painful past that her niece had experienced. Gabriel was shocked when he heard that, and he also sympathized with Yasmine's plight. He asked sadly, "You said her ex-husband is rich. What's his name?"

If he was a businessman, Gabriel believed that he would definitely know him.

"His name is..."

Before Mindy could answer, Yasmine had already finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Seeing that Gabriel had not left yet, she immediately ushered for him to leave. "Director Smith, it's very late. My uncle has to get up early tomorrow to work at the dock. Shouldn't you... go home?" She said with a fake smile.

Gabriel wanted to say something but he swallowed his words back in the end. He stood up, "Well, then I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for the dinner. I had a good meal."

Mindy smiled from ear to ear, "I'm really glad that you like it. If you like it, you can come over next time." She pushed her niece and said, "Yasmine, send him off."

"Why should I send him off? His car is just in front of the door." Yasmine frowned.

"What are you talking about? He had taken you in for a few days. Go now." Mindy scolded.

Yasmine was pushed out reluctantly by her aunt.

Standing in front of Gabriel's car, Yasmine said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry to have troubled you for the past few days."

"No problem." Gabriel stared at her dark eyes and suddenly said, "Let's date."

Yasmine raised her head in shock and said after a while, "Are you drunk?"

"I'm not drunk. I'm serious."

Gabriel really didn't look like he was drunk. Yasmine thought for a moment and refused euphemistically, "I'm sorry, I don't want to be in a relationship. I especially don't want to be dating a rich man."

"Why?"

"Because the life of the rich is not suitable for me."

She turned around and wanted to leave, but Gabriel stopped her. "I know everything... your past too. Just give me a chance and let me take care of you, okay?"

Yasmine was startled and she refused once again. "I'm sorry, I really don't want to be in a relationship. I can take care of myself."

She left decisively. Gabriel stared at her back and suddenly shouted, "I don't mind, I don't mind that you were divorced, and I don't mind that you can't have children. Despite your pathetic past life, you are perfect in my heart just like the first time when I saw you!"
