The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 105

"Okay then, I’ll see you there,"

Yasmine agreed obediently.

Yasmine wore a thick down jacket. When she was halfway to the airport, thick snow began falling from the sky. When she arrived at the airport, she took her suitcase and ran into the departure hall. She patted herself down when she reached shelter and grumbled: "What kind of weather is this? I don’t even need to go to Hokkaido to see snow anymore."

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, Sebastian still had not arrived. She dialed his number. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. "Hello?"

When she heard his voice, she felt nervous. Why did his voice sound so heavy?

"Are you here yet?"

"Yasmine, I’m sorry. We won't be able to go today. I have something important to do now."

Her heart thumped, and she was petrified on the spot. After a long while, she sniffed her red nose and asked, "Something important? I thought our trip was important."

Sebastian felt a little guilty. "I've asked Fynn to bring you home. I’ll see you at night."

Yasmine hung up the phone in a daze. She could no longer describe her feelings; complicated, sad, and upset. Ten minutes later, Fynn arrived at the airport. He rushed to Yasmine with an umbrella and said, "Madam, President Sebastian has something to do, so he asked me to send you home."

She did not say anything and silently got into the car.

The car engine started, speeding across the white snow ground. Yasmine leaned her head against the window and assured herself: “It’s fine, I don’t have to see snow in Hokkaido, I can see snow right here. It’s fine, it doesn’t have to be the two of us, I can be alone."

Through the mirror, Fynn saw that Yasmine was in a bad mood, so he comforted her casually, "Madam, it's just being postponed. You can go there later."

"Where is he now?"

"He went out."

Yasmine immediately noticed a flicker in his eyes and asked, "What did he go out for?"

"Well... I didn't ask." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"You didn’t ask or you just don’t want to tell me?" Yasmine pressed on.

"I didn't ask."

"Fynn, are you still going to lie to me? I know you’re the worst at lying. So if you want the best for him, you better tell me everything because I’m the only one who can help him start afresh."

Yasmine made Fynn waver a little. He actually wanted to be frank from the beginning.

"I heard that Abigail Tanner is back." His words were like a bomb, blowing Yasmine Taylor's brain apart. The car was equipped with a heating system and she was wearing thick warm clothes, but she still could not stop trembling.

It was very cold.

"How did he know?"

"On the way to the company in the morning, he saw a familiar figure and he went after the person. He’s still looking for the person right now."

Yasmine’s heart ached, but she did not want to speak anymore.

Fynn understood that she was in a bad mood, so he said appeasingly, "Don't worry, no one can change President Sebastian’s feelings for you."

"Not even Abigail?"

"I... think so."

He thought so? What a sarcastic praise. Even a fool knew that he could not be sure.

The car stopped outside the Mansion House. Yasmine got out of the car in a daze. The guard took her luggage and held an umbrella over her head. She asked Fynn, "Do you want to go in?"

"No, I still have something to do at the company."

Fynn gave her a meaningful look, then drove the car away.

When her mother-in-law saw that she came back in less than an hour, she was surprised and asked: "Didn’t you say that you were going on a trip? Why are you back so soon?"

"It got postponed," Yasmine answered in a weak voice.

"Postponed? Why?"

"It's a little inconvenient for him now."

"What’s so important that he had to postpone the trip? When he comes back, I’ II teach him a good lesson."

Yasmine gave a wry smile and said, "Mom, it's okay. A man's career is the most important thing. We can go on a trip any time."

The mother-in-law patted her shoulder with relief. "You’re always so reasonable."

At night, Sebastian came back very late. Yasmine did not ask him where he went. Of course, Sebastian Simons did not say anything as well.

She pretended to be asleep. He did not wake her up. He only took a shower and kissed her forehead. He fell heavily on the bed and turned the bedlight off.

In the darkness, she heard him sighing heavily.

The next day, Yasmine got up early in the morning and picked out some clothes for Sebastian. Then, she went to the gym and ran desperately on the treadmill.

After running, she returned to the bedroom. Only then did Sebastian wake up and look at her gently. "Did you go for a run?"

"Yes."

She took a towel and wiped the sweat off her face. Then she picked up his clothes and handed them to him. "Quickly wash up and go downstairs to have breakfast." Just as she was about to leave, Sebastian pulled her arm, "Aren’t you going to ask me why I changed plans?"

She glanced at him and said, "You have your reasons for doing everything. If you wanted to tell me, you would tell without having me to ask. If you didn’t want to tell me, it would be pointless for me to ask."

"Actually, I..."

Sebastian wanted to confess, but suddenly decided against it. "Forget it, it's nothing. I’ II bring you to Hokkaido one day."

Yasmine shrugged and turned around with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

For the next few days, Sebastian came back late at night. Finally, Yasmine could not bear it anymore.

She decided to confront Sebastian.

It was another cold night. Although it was not snowing outside, the wind was very strong. Even with the windows tightly closed, one could hear the sound of branches rustling .

When Sebastian got home, he found Yasmine sitting on the sofa watching TV. He took off his black windbreaker and asked softly, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Why are you back so late?"

He was stunned. Perhaps this was the first time she asked about his late return, so he was not used to it.

"I had to do something." "What was it?"

Sebastian froze again. Maybe he did not expect that she would demand for his answer again and again.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

He sat next to her and asked with a puzzled face.

"I'm fine. I just want to know why you come back so late these few nights?"

"I told you I needed to do something."

"Are you looking for Abigail?"

Sebastian was speechless for the third time that night. He asked after a long time, "How did you know?"

"There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world. All that I kept hidden from you, you had already found out. How could you keep anything from me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for her."

Sebastian did not deny it.

"Why? Why do you want to find her? What are you going to do after you find her?"

"I don't want anything. I just want an answer. Why did she betray me?”

Yasmine’s eyes turned red. She tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "You didn’t care about me, you just wanted to find her. Do you know why I wanted to go to Hokkaido? Do you really think I don’ t know how to ski? The reason I wanted to go to Hokkaido was a legend. A legend that depicts if two people who love each other sees diamond dust snow before sunrise in Hokkaido, they’ll love each other for the rest of their lives and will never be apart. I was hoping to see that on our trip. If we can’ t see it on the first day, then we’ll wait until the next day. Even if that means freezing to death, I want to see it with you with our very own eyes."

Her tears finally slid down uncontrollably. Sebastian took her into his arms and said, "Silly, I'm already married to you. I won't hide anything from you."

"So, are you going to tell me why she betrayed you?”

Yasmine made Sebastian speechless for the fourth time that evening.
