The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 124

The water in the bucket was gradually getting colder, but the warmth between the two who were embracing each other did not cool down at all. After a considerable time, Yasmine Taylor loosened her arms and said to Sebastian affectionately, "I'm going to pour the water away."

When she came back, Sebastian had already opened a bottle of red wine, sitting alone on the balcony and drinking by himself. Yasmine walked over, poured a glass of red wine for herself without saying anything, and took a sip.

"Can you drink? You just got discharged."

Sebastian's deep eyes stared at her dotingly. She wiped the red wine stain on her mouth and nodded. "It's fine. Red wine is good for health."

She then raised her head and took another huge gulp. Seeing her like this, Sebastian immediately snatched the wine glass for her and said, "Don't drink so much."

"It's fine. You know how much I can drink. A glass of red wine is nothing."

Yasmine stretched out her hand and wanted to take back the wine glass, but Sebastian refused to give it to her. He put the glass behind his back and said, "If I said that you are not allowed to drink then you are not allowed to drink anymore."

"You're such a domineering guy." She pouted unhappily and pretended to be angry while she stood by the other side of the balcony. She put her hands on her chin and glanced over the beach that is not too far away. Occasionally, there would be a few couples who would walk by.

Sebastian had already drank half of the bottle of wine by himself. Seeing that she was still mad, he asked with a smile, "Do you really want to drink that much?"

She rolled her eyes. "You think?"

"Okay, come over here."

Yasmine ignored him and continued to look around. "Come here."

He waved at her so she walked to him angrily, only to find him patting his thigh and said, "Sit down."

She didn't know what he was going to do, but Yasmine sat down anyway.

"I'll feed you."

Sebastian poured a glass of red wine and asked her to close her eyes. Yasmine stretched out her hand and said, "I'll drink it myself. I don't want you to feed

me.

"I can't let you drink then."

He then sipped on the wine and slowly savored it.

Yasmine didn't know why, but she really wanted to drink tonight. But Sebastian kept on tantalizing her. "Alright, just feed me then."

"Close your eyes."

"What are you trying to do?" "Just close them."

She shook her head speechlessly and closed her eyes obediently.

She was waiting for Sebastian to put the glass to her mouth so she didn't expect that she would be met with soft and warm lips on hers instead. She instinctively opened her mouth and a cool liquid

immediately flowed into her mouth and down her throat.

She opened her eyes, and her heart was pounding rapidly. Her face was also red, as if she was already drunk, but it also seemed like she was enchanted by his flirtatious behavior.

"What a hooligan you are!"

She shyly wrapped her arms around his neck, and her soft eyes were so attractive that it could make people's hearts ripple.

"I told you that I will feed you."

"But you didn't say that you were going to feed me with your mouth."

"What do you think I will feed you with then? A glass? That would be too plain and dull."

As he spoke, Sebastian took another sip of the wine. He then pressed his lips against her delicate red lips and slowly released the wine into her mouth.

The more tender and gentle Yasmine was, the harder he kissed her. He kissed her so hard that her head leaned backward as her long hair fluttered in the wind. She then raised her head and looked at the moonlight with her eyes half opened. "I'm not drinking anymore." She pouted and then gently punched him with her fists.

"Let's do something even more meaningful then." He held onto her legs which were resting around his waist, lifted her up. He carried her and walked towards the stone table which was on the other side of the balcony.

She gasped and couldn't help to but feel her face heating up. She buried her pretty face in his hair and punched him with her fists. She reminded him bashfully, "This the balcony!"

"It would be too boring if we keep doing it on the bed. An occasional switch will be more exciting."

"You keep saying romantic this, romantic that, but I've never ever seen you being so obsessive about being romantic though."

"I know, but don't you see that I'm trying hard now?"

She knew that he wouldn't have any good intentions when he lured her with the wine. And sure enough, it was as she had expected. But isn't this place a little too exposed? There were still people strolling on the beach even.

"There's someone over there,"

she hurriedly reminded him."

"Don't bother about those crazy people. They are just disturbing others by not sleeping at this hour." Sebastian said.

"I think you're the crazy one. Who would do it on a balcony? You're crazy. You're really crazy." Yasmine responded.

"Even if I'm crazy, it's because of you. You'd better be happy about that." Sebastian teased her.

After taking a hot shower, her stomach started to growl. She took out her mobile phone and dialed the house number. It was her mother-in-law who had picked up the phone. When she heard Yasmine's voice, she was very happy. "Yasmine, why do you have time to call me?"

"Mom, it sounded like I've never called you for a long time."

Yasmine smiled and asked, "Have you had lunch?" "Not yet, what's wrong?"

"That's great. I'll go back home now and have lunch with you then."

She hung up the phone with joy and then changed into a clean set of clothes before driving back to the Mansion House.

Her mother-in-law had been waiting for her in the living room ever since the call ended. When she saw that she had arrived, she was so happy that she was grinning from ear to ear. "Come in quickly. Let me have a good look at you. Let me see if you have lost any weight over the past two days."

She patted Yasmine's cheek. "Very good. You have not lost any weight."

"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. Your son has been taking me out for delicious meals every single day, so I've actually gained some weight."

At the mention of her son, a hint of sadness appeared on Madam Simons' brows. She said, "He still doesn't want to come back home?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Yasmine could not bear it, but she could only answer truthfully, "Yes."

As expected, her mother-in-law was very sad that she lowered her head and sobbed.

"Mom, don't be sad. In fact, the situation is not so bad, but because he had already let out such harsh words so it would be too embarrassing for him to come back just like this. Just let me talk to him for a few more times and he will come back home soon."

"Really?"

"Of course. Last night, he told me personally that he loves you and Dad very much, but because he was not good at expressing his feelings, so he often had to hide them in his heart."

"Okay. I'll count on you then."

"No problem. As long as I'm here, he will come back to you and Dad soon."

After listening to her daughter- in- law's words, Madam Simons felt much better. She took her hand and said, "Let's go for lunch then."

When she came to the dining table and saw a table full of sumptuous dishes, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Wow, it seems that your living conditions have improved a lot when Sebastian and I are not at home."

Tiffany Simons said with a smile, "No, it was because Mom knew that you were coming back so I asked the cook to add on a few more dishes for you."

Old Master Simons also smiled and echoed, "That's right. We used to eat only vegetarian food because of your Mom, but thanks to you, we can finally have some meat on the table today."

The family sat down happily at the dining room and began to eat. Although they were short of one person, the atmosphere in the house had brightened up a lot compared to the solemn atmosphere a few days ago.

"Eat some more."

As Madam Simons continued to refill Yasmine's plate, Yasmine was gobbling down the food because she hadn't eaten anything since morning so she was already very hungry when it was finally lunch time.

"Hurry and persuade your husband to come home. It's unhealthy to eat out every time."

"Yes, I will."

Yasmine nodded with determination.

The meal was very delicious. After they were done, Yasmine rubbed her belly while sitting down on the sofa. "I haven't eaten so much for a long time. My stomach feels like it's going to explode soon."

When Madam Simons heard what she had said, she immediately thought of something, so she went to sit next to Yasmine and asked quietly while staring at her belly, "Have you guys been using protection?"

Yasmine was a little embarrassed that she had a light blush on her cheeks. She shook her head and said, "I haven't been using any contraception for a long time."

"Then why are you not pregnant yet? You have been married for more than half a year already." Speaking of which, Yasmine was a little bummed out too. "I don't know."

"Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"

"How can I just go to the hospital and get it checked out? It's too embarrassing."

Madam Simons frowned and said, "If that is the case, then I'll accompany you to the hospital later. We'll get a check up on you."

"No, you don't have to do that. I will just go with the flow. We can't rush things like this. I'll get pregnant when its the right time. If its not the right time, it will be useless to check it out anyway."

"That's not how it works. I did it with your father-in-law once and I immediately got pregnant. It's not normal that you are not pregnant yet after being married for more than half a year."

Yasmine became even more embarrassed. "Even so,

I don't think that there's a need for a check up. We are still young anyway. We have to don't worry about it yet."

"You're not in a hurry but I am. I just can't bear it anymore when I see others holding their grandchildren."

"There's nothing we can do though. It's not something that I can get as long as I wish for it."

"That's why you have to go for a check up. We have to know why you can't get pregnant, right? If there is really something wrong then you can receive treatment immediately. Just go for the check up, so that I can fulfill my dream of being a grandmother as soon as possible." Yasmine rubbed her forehead which was aching because of all the nagging.

"Yasmine, please don't think that I'm annoying you. Don't blame me for being such a conservative person but I'm doing this for your own good. It's not important whether I'm going to have a grandchild now or not, it's just a matter of time anyway. But it's different now. You are at a disadvantage now that Abigail Tanner is back. She hates our family so much. She hates me for indirectly killing her parents and she hates Titus for forcing her to leave Sebastian. Because she hates us so much, she is willing to do anything that she can to get back with Sebastian. If Sebastian had never liked her then nothing will happen, but the thing is that they were deeply in love with each other for three years. With that very reason, your position in Sebastian's heart will not be as stable as before. However, if you have a child, then the whole situation will be different, it will be much better."

Yasmine's eyes dimmed, and her fingers were tightly intertwined. After a long silence, she said, "If that's the case, I'll just give up then. I don't want to be able to be with him just because of a child. I don't want a marriage like that."

"I'm not asking you to treat the child as a shield, but I'm saying that the relationship between you and Sebastian will definitely get closer if the both of you have a child together. No matter how much he loved Abigail Tanner, he still will not destroy his own family for her. The child is not a tool to keep the family intact, but a bond that connects the both of you tightly together. The child is the product of the love between the two of you, and your bundle of joy. Don't you want to give birth to a child with the person you like?"
