The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 215

The warm month of April passed in the blink of an eye and the sweltering summer arrived as expected. Yasmine Taylor felt that it was hotter than any other summer because her heart was burning.

Her aunt's condition had become much better after going through an operation in the middle of May. Two weeks later, the doctor told her that she could continue recuperating at home. The family then left the hospital happily. After all, they had been staying there for three months. It was good news that they could finally return home.

That night, Gabriel booked a sumptuous multicourse dinner in a five- star hotel in the city to celebrate Mindy's discharge from the hospital.

After having dinner and returning home, Mindy Yard held her niece's hand and said with gratitude, "Yasmine, thank you for your tender and loving care during this time. If it weren't for you, I might've left your uncle by now."

Chuck Lorris interjected with a smile, "Yasmine did her part, but don't forget the other person who did much more."

Mindy knew who it was very well. "You should go back to B City tomorrow. I'm so sorry that I've wasted three months of your time that you could have spent with Sebastian."

"It's okay. If we are meant to be together, three months apart is nothing. It won't be too late for me to go back when your condition has completely recovered."

"I'm much better now. You'd better go back, otherwise I would start to feel guilty."

Yasmine thought for a moment, "Then I'll hire someone to take care of your daily needs. I'll also take over you and Uncle Chuck's expenses from now on."

"Thank you for being so thoughtful. Your uncle and I really appreciate it."

Yasmine packed up her luggage the following morning, prepared to head back to B City. Before leaving, her aunt said earnestly, "Please thank Sebastian for me when you're there."

"Okay,"

She nodded and looked at her uncle. "Well, I'm leaving now. Please call me immediately if anything happens to Aunt."

"Yes, I will,"

The couple saw her out of the door, watching her get into a taxi and disappear into the horizons.

Yasmine didn't inform Sebastian of her return. The plane landed in B City in the afternoon. She gave Tiffany a call, who then drove to the airport and picked her up. They headed home immediately after that.

The family were very enthusiastic when they saw Yasmine. After chatting with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law for a while, she said playfully, "Please don't tell Sebastian that I'm back, okay?"

Tiffany Simons winked at her, "No problem. How sweet of you for wanting to give my brother a surprise."

Madam Simons called her son in the evening and told him to come home for dinner no matter how busy he was.

Sebastian was only done with his work at 7 p.m. and he drove home immediately after. Yasmine hid in a dark corner. When she saw him getting out of the car, she immediately called him through her phone.

"Hello, Yasmine?"

Sebastian looked visibly exhausted after a tiring day but his tone was still extremely gentle when he answered the phone.

"Are you done with work?"

"Yea, I just got home,"

"Do you miss me?"

Sebastian answered without a doubt, "Of course." "Really?"

"Really."

She laughed on the phone, "Then how about I'll show up in front of you now?"

Sebastian let out a long sigh, "Forget it. Don't play such jokes on me, alright?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yasmine suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Sebastian's body stiffened, his phone still attached to his ear. He looked back in disbelief and saw that the person behind him was really the one he had been thinking about day and night. He was so excited that he immediately lifted her with a hug, "Yasmine, is it really you? Why are you back here? Am I dreaming?"

He bombarded her with three questions in a row.

Yasmine hooked her hands around his neck and giggled. "Of course it's not a dream." She took the initiative to kiss his lips. They hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately, their tongues intertwining endlessly. The sweet and lingering kiss lasted for a long moment until Tiffany suddenly

appeared. "Hey, we're all starving waiting for you two. Could you let us fill our stomachs first before you make out?"

The two let go of each other reluctantly. Yasmine was a little embarrassed. However, Sebastian took her hand calmly and stepped into the living room.

After dinner, her mother-in-law took Yasmine's hand and said, "Let's have a chat. I have a lot to talk to you about."

Sebastian Simons quickly stopped her, "You can talk about it tomorrow. Yasmine must be tired after the long flight."

Tiffany knew what her brother was up to, so she deliberately made things difficult for him. "Yasmine, there's this skirt that caught my eye this afternoon. It's very beautiful. You should accompany me to buy it."

"Who goes shopping in the middle of the night? It's not like you don't have time to do that tomorrow morning." Sebastian was getting irritated. Were these people that oblivious? Didn't they know a couple who had just reunited would need some time for a heart-to-heart conversation with each other?

Before Yasmine could speak, Sebastian had pulled her upstairs impatiently.

As soon as they entered the room, he locked the door and threw Yasmine onto the couch like a ravenous wolf that hadn't eaten for a long time and kissed her. Yasmine responded to him enthusiastically, joking, "Are we not going to live in separate rooms?"

"Not anymore. In fact, we'll be in the same coffin if we die right now."

After a moment of passion, Yasmine felt like she had run a marathon. Her whole body was soaking wet and she couldn't gather a single ounce of strength. She leaned back lazily on the bathtub and

refused to move a muscle.

"Sweetheart, didn't you say you'd surprise me the next time we meet? What is it?"

Yasmine lifted her eyelids weakly and said lazily, "Isn't this the surprise?"

It turned out that the unannounced return was the surprise.

However, it was indeed a pleasant surprise...

Later that night, when she was curling up in Sebastian's arms and sleeping soundly, his phone rang and woke her up. Sebastian answered lazily, "Hello?" Yasmine felt that his body had turned a little stiff. "Right, I'll go over right now."

He hung up the phone, took out a black shirt from the wardrobe, and put it on. As he put his watch on, he saw Yasmine sitting up from the bed. He asked gently, "Why did you wake up?"

"What happened? Why are you going out so late at night?"

"It's nothing, go back to sleep."

Sebastian kissed her forehead and picked up a suit, ready to go out.

"Sebastian,"

Yasmine stopped him, "I'm willing to face any difficulties with you. After what we had been through, I don't want to keep any secrets from you anymore."

Sebastian smiled at her with doting eyes, "Yeah, I understand."

He didn't come back even after the sun had risen. In the morning, Yasmine gave him a call. He said that he was already at the company. When she heard that his calm voice, the worry in her heart

immediately dissipated.

Her mother- in- law's birthday was coming soon. Yasmine wanted to make the most of it for her. When she was discussing it with Tiffany, Madam Simons came down from upstairs. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"Just invite a few relatives and friends over to have dinner at home. No need to make a big deal out of it."

Madam Simons had already overheard their conversation, so she expressed her own opinion right away.

"Mom, this is your 60th birthday. How could we throw such a simple celebration?"

"If it were up to me, I wouldn't even suggest asking my friends and relatives to come over. I'm old and I don't like too much excitement now. Simple is good."

Yasmine sighed while Tiffany shrugged. "Fine."

The house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere on Madam Simons' birthday. Yasmine respected her wishes and didn't invite too many people over to their house. In addition to a handful of her mother-in-law's poker friends, the rest of the attendees were either her family or her close associates. Fynn Jaymond also came to the party.

At the beginning of the party, Yasmine stood up and did a toast. "Mom, happy birthday to you. I wish you a lifetime of happiness. The more you live, the younger you will become."

"Heh, your daughter- in- law's really good with her words."

Madam Simons' poker friend whispered at her ear.

Sebastian also raised his glass at his mother, "Mom, happy birthday."

"Thank you,"

Yasmine sighed in her heart. He was indeed a man who was not adept at expressing his feelings. He wanted to say a lot of blessings to his mother, but he ended up saying a simple 'happy birthday' to her.

Tiffany was the last to stand up. She had matured gracefully over the past two years. Like a lily emerging out of the water, she gave off a fresh temperament.

A lady stared at her for a while and suddenly said, "Mila, does Tiffany have a husband?"

All of a sudden, the people sitting at the table were dumbfounded. Madam Simons shook her head, "Not yet. Why do you ask?"

The lady continued, "She doesn't have a boyfriend either, does she?"

"Yes,"

The lady suggested, "Great, then let me introduce my nephew to Tiffany. His name is Virgil and he's about the same age as Tiffany. His status matches hers too. If the two of them could form a close relationship, it'll end up being a good marriage."

The atmosphere became very tense. Yasmine saw that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not speaking, so she quickly stepped in to relieve the tension. "Oh, Tiffany's still young. Isn't it a little too early for her to find a partner now?"

"What do you mean it's too early? They don't have to get married right away. They could take one to two years to get to know each other better."

That lady must like Tiffany very much, so she turned to look at Madam Simons. "What do you think, Mila?"

Although Madam Simons was not pleased, she couldn't say it too bluntly and put her reputation on the line. "I have to ask for my daughter's opinion. If she agrees, I don't have any objections." All eyes were fixed on Tiffany, including Fynn. He felt uncomfortable hearing that lady introducing someone else to Tiffany but he was not bothered because he believed that Tiffany wouldn't agree to that.

"Sure, I'm fine with that."

Tiffany's answer was beyond everyone's expectations. She got up gracefully and said politely, "You may arrange the meeting time and let me know. I'll take my leave first."

Fynn's face turned dark as he watched her figure disappearing into the living room.

At the end of the birthday dinner, Fynn excused himself in a hurry. He was very familiar with the layout of the Mansion House and knew where Tiffany would be. He arrived at the backyard without much difficulty. Sure enough, he saw a small figure amongst the flowers.

"Why did you agree to that lady's suggestion?"

He walked up to her and questioned her in a cold and condescending tone.

Tiffany raised her eyes slowly and replied flatly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Fynn was furious and he pulled her up. "It'll be miserable for you to live with someone whom you don't love."

Tiffany retorted, "This is the reason you had refused me in the first place?"
