The Seventh Miserable Bride

"Yes, and no one answered the phone. It's fine, I'll go and have a look by myself."

Yasmine Taylor hung up the phone and drove to the company. The whole building was pitch black. She was used to it because she had visited the company under such circumstances many times. She took the elevator and went straight to the ninth floor. When she arrived at the President's office, she pushed the door open and shouted softly, "Sebastian, are you there?"

No one answered. She took out her mobile phone and dialed his number. Not far away, there was a light and a sound of vibration coming from his desk. She walked over doubtfully and saw that it was Sebastian's mobile phone. She felt even more confused. If his mobile phone was still here, where could he be?

She turned on the lights and sat on his office chair, waiting for him to come back. She thought, "He must be coming back soon since he had accidentally left his phone here."

She opened the drawer of his office out of boredom and saw a sky blue colored paper. She took it out in confusion and read the content on the paper. Her face darkened instantly.

Followed by a sharp pain in her heart, the letter in her hand fell to the ground. She quickly dialed Fynn Jaymond's number-

chapter 109" Fynn, did Abigail Tanner look for Sebastian?"

Fynn denied in surprise, "No, what happened?"

"Who sent that letter to Sebastian?"

"Could it be written by Abigail Tanner?"

Fynn didn't even think of this possibility.

"Yes."

"Oh, no, I didn't open it at that time and gave it directly to him. I'm so sorry, Madam, It's my fault, Madam."

Yasmine endured the pain in her heart and said, "It's alright. Do you know where their 'usual place' is?"

Fynn thought for a moment and said, "I heard it from President Sebastian once, but I'm not too sure. You can go and have a look. It's the Spicy Pasta Shop near B University." "Okay, thank you."

"Madam-"

As Yasmine was about to hang up the phone, Fynn hurriedly shouted, "Please don't tell President Sebastian that I am the one who told you this. I just don't want that woman to come back and hurt him again." "I understand."

Yasmine rushed out and drove to University B feeling extremely sad and disappointed. She circled around B University and found Sebastian's car in no time.

She parked her car, took a deep breath, and walked into the Spicy Pasta Shop. Standing by the door, she stared at Sebastian, whose back was facing her, and her eyes slowly shifted to the woman who was sitting in front of him. Was she Abigail Tanner? Was she the woman who had tortured him for nearly three years? Was she his first love that he could not forget even until now?

Her heart felt like it had hit rock bottom. All this while, she couldn't understand what kind of woman was capable of manipulating Sebastian's heart and emotions. It was not until this moment that she had finally understood that it was such a woman.

To say that she resembled the moon was not accurate because she was even more beautiful than the moon. To say she was like a star, but she was more dazzling than a star. She was like a lotus, but purer and more beautiful than a lotus and to say that she was like a peony, she was even more attractive than a peony.

She was so beautiful and pure. No wonder Sebastian and Ethan Zordon fought so hard for her. Yasmine felt that she was not inferior to Abigail in terms of appearance, but she knew that she was definitely not as charming as her.

And her charm was maybe the only thing that could really touch Sebastian's heart.

She walked over to them slowly, but did not approach nor greet them. Instead, she sat down next to them and said to the boss, "Give me a bowl of spicy pasta."

Once Sebastian had heard of the familiar voice, his wandering thoughts were immediately recollected. Once he had come to his senses, he looked sideways, and his entire body was frozen in the next second. At that instant, he couldn't react to what he had seen at all.

Yasmine knew that Sebastian was staring at her intently, but she pretended to ignore him and looked away. She just wanted to see if he had the courage to talk to her in front of his first love.

Sebastian looked at her for a while, then stood up and walked to her. "Why are you here?"

"Why? Can't I come? Are you the owner of this shop?"

Yasmine looked at him coldly, her eyes full of provocation.

Abigail walked over and asked Sebastian, "She is..."

Before Sebastian could explain, Yasmine introduced herself. "Hello, Miss Tanner. I've heard a lot about you. I'm Sebastian's wife. My name is Yasmine Taylor."

When Abigail heard the phrase "Sebastian's wife", an unusual look flashed in her eyes. She smiled and reached out her hand. "Hello."

"Can I share a meal with the both of you?"

Yasmine pointed at the spicy pasta that had just been served on the table.

"Well, okay."

Abigail nodded.

Without hesitation, she picked up the dish and sat next to Sebastian. While eating the pasta, she pretended to be casual and asked Abigail, "Miss Tanner, is there something that has prompted your return this time?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you this."

"Then what are you asking my husband out for?"

Abigail was embarrassed by her blunt words and did not know how to answer at that instant.

"Don't tell me that you guys just want to catch up with each other. You know better than anyone else that you are not in the place to do that anymore."

"Yasmine, don't say that."

Sebastian interrupted her with a cold face and did not allow her to continue.

"I think you may have misunderstood. There is no other reason for me to ask Sebastian out. I just wanted to apologize to him."

"Do you still think that it's necessary? Three years ago, you left resolutely, and three years later, you suddenly came backjust to apologize to him? Do you think that a mere sorry can rectify everything?" Perhaps Abigail didn't expect that Yasmine would be so good with her words. She looked at her in shock, but she wasn't angry. "Of course it can't. I just thought that I would feel better if I said what I wanted to say."

"To feel better? You sure do feel good, but have you ever thought of how others would feel in their hearts. You knew that my husband still couldn't get over you up till now, and you still asked him out. What are you trying to do?" "Yasmine, that's enough."

Sebastian stopped her again. His face was as cold as a thousand-year-old iceberg, but she didn't know who was the one who made him feel this way.

"Why can't I say anything? What I said was the truth, wasn't it? She shouldn't have come back at all! Since she had left, she shouldn't have come back, no matter what the reason for her return was! Now that she had shown up in front of you like this, it would only make me think that she is just shameless."

"That's enough, are you done yet?!"

Sebastian stood up abruptly. He grabbed Yasmine's arm and was about to drag her out. Yasmine shook him off angrily and said, "You don't want me to talk, but I will talk anyway!" She looked at Abigail again and said, "Listen carefully here. This man was abandoned by you. When he was in the darkest time of his life, I saved him. So, no matter what reason do you have to get close to him, you have to see whether will agree or not. If I don't, then you are not qualified to approach him. Today's invitation is the first time and I hope it will be the last. Otherwise, don't blame me for the things that I will do!"

"Have you had enough?"

There were already a bunch of people watching the show that Yasmine had put up in the Spicy Pasta Shop. Sebastian growled at Yasmine angrily. Yasmine then glanced at him coldly and asked sarcastically, "Do you think that I'm making a fuss? You said that we would have dinner together tonight, but you've forgotten about our date. In this place full of your first love memories, you are having a date with your first love. In the end, do you still think that I'm the one making a fuss about it? Sebastian Simons, in your eyes, do you think I, Yasmine Taylor is just a fool who must appear when you need me, and can be abandoned when you don't need me?"""

She was shaking from the pain in her heart. Before he could answer, she turned around and ran out of the restaurant. As she was turning around, her tears came falling down. How could she not feel aggrieved? The one who should be having this dinner was supposed to be her.

How could she accept it? Why was he being so protective over Abigail? How could he forget the pain that he had experienced that woman had brought him for the past three years? A pain that was worse than death.

The atmosphere in the pasta shop was very heavy. Sebastian glanced at Abigail, who had lowered her head and been keeping her silence, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm leaving."

"Okay."

Abigail did not look up, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

He walked to the counter and paid for the meal. He then stepped forward to chase after Yasmine. Looking at his back which had left in a hurry, Abigail's tears, which she had been holding back in her eyes, finally fell down.

She sniffed and took out a note from her bag. With tears in her eyes, she wrote, "I'm glad to know that you're doing well, even though you're not with me..."

She walked to the wall on the right side of the pasta shop, and stuck it onto her favorite corner.

She returned to her seat, sat down, and ate the remaining pasta.

Yasmine rushed into her car and cried sadly while leaning against the steering wheel. She thought that as long as she tried hard, even the end of the world could not separate them apart. But now, she found out that the end of the world was not as harsh as the reality...

Thump! Thump! Someone was knocking on the car window. She looked up with tears in her eyes and saw that it was Sebastian. She continued to sob painfully.

"Yasmine, open the door!"

Sebastian stood by her car and called her loudly, but she was so immersed in her sorrow that she could not extricate herself. She felt annoyed at the knocking, so she started the engine and drove off. Sebastian immediately got into his car and caught up with her. Seeing that she was constantly accelerating, his heart was in a turmoil. He was worried that she would be in danger, so he wanted to call her, but he was annoyed to find that he had left his mobile phone in the office, so he could only increase his speed and try to block her.

Yasmine drove the car to the beach like a madman. Finally, the car stopped. Sebastian's heart which was trembling with fear had finally calmed down a little. He hurriedly opened the door and walked towards the figure which was standing by the sea. He shouted softly, "Yasmine, do you have to do this?"

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

Yasmine turned around and shouted this sentence. She was really sad. She couldn't forget the way her husband looked at another woman eating. He was looking at her so attentively.

"You can do whatever you want but please don't do anything that would worry me, like what you did just now. Are you courting for death by driving at that speed?"

"Yes, I really felt like dying, but will you still care about me? How could you do that to me just now in front of so many people?"

"There is nothing between Abigail and myself. I just don't want you to embarrass her in public."

"So you decided to embarrass me in public instead? In front of your sweetheart, I don't even have the right to speak?"

"If there is anything that you want to talk about, we can go home and talk about it. We don't have to do it in front of so many people."

"Speaking of which, you are just defending her. You are afraid that the others will misunderstand that she is your mistress. I thought that for such a woman who had once humiliated you, you will definitely treat her worse than me. It seems that I was wrong. I was the only one being angry for the pain that she had given you."

"Yasmine, I'm grateful for you being angry for me, but can you let me handle all of these by myself?" "How can you handle it by yourself? I believe that before you could solve the problem, you would have already fallen into the charm of your first love again."

"Don't you have confidence in me? Do you think that my promises to you are just a whim?"

"Isn't that so? Do you dare to say that Abigail's sudden return has not shaken your heart at all?"

Sebastian ruffled his hair in annoyance and said, "What do you want me to say so that you will believe in me? Nothing is going to happen between me and her. I know very well who is my woman, and who is the woman I should be responsible for? The meeting tonight didn't mean anything at all. Even if Abigail had told me that she wants to get back with me, I will not accept it, because you are the one whom I should cherish the most."

Yasmine slowly bent down, hugged her knees and started crying. Seeing her crying sorrowfully, Sebastian could not help but to feel sad too. He squatted in front of her and held her into his arms. "Don't cry. No one can ever take away anything that belongs to you, and I will never abandon you. I will never abandon the woman who had accompanied me through my darkest days until I could finally walk out from the pain."

A vow was the most beautiful promise in the world, but sometimes it could not comfort a person's heart. The reason why Yasmine felt so uneasy was that she knew better than Sebastian himself, of the influence Abigail had on him.

"Not abandoning doesn't mean that your heart will always be here." Yasmine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said seriously, "Answer me honestly. Do you really not love Abigail anymore? Or, when she had asked to meet you, you just couldn't control your impulse to see her at all?"

Sebastian was stunned. He did not deny that Yasmine had hit his sore spot. He was also surprised that she could see through his mind at one glance.

His silence was the most sincere answer. Yasmine stood up and didn't want to ask any more questions.

She turned and left, but stopped after a few steps, leaving a sentence dejectedly, "It's not terrible to break up with someone. What's terrible is that you can never move on from that day since..."

This time, Sebastian did not chase after her. Instead, he stood alone on the shore despite the cold wind, thinking about her words, "Are you really not in love with Abigail anymore?"

He spent a long night in the car. After dawn had come, he drove to the company. When he saw the sky blue colored letter on the ground, he knew that Yasmine had come to the company to look for him last night.

He suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart. He picked up the phone on the table that was there all night. He dialed her number, but he was only met with the voice of the machine which said, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please call again later..."

He thought for a few seconds and called the house number. It was his sister who answered the phone. "Hello, this is the Mansion House. Who am I speaking to?"

"Tiffany, it's me. Has Yasmine got up yet?"

"I don't know. What happened to you last night? Why didn't you come back all night?"

"I had something to do. Please go and ask her to turn on her phone. I have something to tell her."

"Oh, okay..."

Tiffany Simons put the phone aside and went to Yasmine's room. She knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. Then she directly pushed the door open and entered. She saw the quilt on the bed was still folded neatly. She called out a few times, but no one answered. Just as she was wondering where her sister-in-law was, she saw a note on the coffee table which was beside the sofa. She picked it up and read it in confusion. Suddenly, she was shocked and ran downstairs. She picked up the phone again and shouted anxiously, "Brother! Yasmine has run away from home..."
