The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 145

Yasmine walked into the guest room in a daze, as if she had lost her soul. For the past ten hours, it was as if her heart was riding a roller coaster, sometimes soaring among the clouds, and suddenly at the bottom of a valley.

She closed the door and slowly sunk down to the ground. Not knowing what to do, she could only cover her mouth with her hands. Suddenly, she cried out with grief. At this point, her tears were of desperation and hopelessness. Given her pathetic life, she could not even cry loudly. Her shoulders and whole body trembled violently from the sorrow.

In the darkness, her tears were crystal clear, and her thin body curled up against the wall by the door. She finally felt fear for the first time in her life. Even when Dorothy Ryles and Linda Taylor had abused her, she had not been so afraid. But now, she was terrified. She was afraid to accept the cruel reality faced with Sebastian and her. She did not know if this relationship could last.

Suddenly, Sebastian's voice could be heard from outside the door. She frantically wiped the tears off her face because she did not want him to see her look sad. She was living in hell, but she did not want to drag Sebastian to her hell with her.

"Sebastian, you were looking for me?"

Yasmine, who was standing in front of Sebastian again, had already faked a faint and elegant smile on her face.

There wasn't anything more painful than this. Although she was crying in her heart, there was a smile on her face.

"Weren't you going to hand mom the medicine? Why didn't she see you?"

"Oh, I just received a phone call."

Yasmine lowered her head gloomily and stuffed the medicine into his hand. "Please give this to her. I'm going to take a shower first."

She hurried into the bedroom and shut the door with a bang. She leaned against the door and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Sebastian sent the medicine to his mother's room and returned. When he saw Yasmine standing in front of the window, he walked over quietly and circled her from behind. He put his chin on her shoulder and said gently, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing. I'm just looking at the stars."

"There's something you're unhappy about, isn't there?"

She shook her head. "No."

Sebastian sighed softly, straightened her body, and angled her to face him. Then, he said solemnly, "There is a stage in life when you find someone, and with this person, you don't feel the need to be successful, nor do you care about your appearance. This person might even have many weaknesses. This person is your other half, your life partner, and Yasmine stared at him in a daze and continued, "So, if you want to cry, just cry. You're never alone. I will always be your support."

Her tears fell just like that, because Sebastian's words had touched the weakest part of her heart.

"Thank you..."

Yasmine leaned into his arms. During this moment of confusion and helplessness, Sebastian's caring words were undoubtedly the best comfort and encouragement to her. She really didn't dare to imagine how her life would be without Sebastian.

"A person will always face challenges in life. But when you achieve real happiness, you will understand that the pain of the past is actually a kind of wealth. It makes you stronger, so that you can face the future, and you'll learn to cherish the people you love and who love you."

Yasmine didn't say a word as she cried silently.

"If you only hold on, there is nothing that can crush you. The strength in your heart is the real strength."

"Don't you want to know why I'm crying?"

She raised her head and asked with tears in her eyes.

Sebastian looked at her with distress and said, "Even though we're a married couple, we should give each other space. I don't have to intervene in everything. If you really want to tell me, you will tell me without me asking. If it's something you don't want to talk about, then I won't ask you about it."

This was Sebastian and Yasmine's mutual understanding, and it had never changed.

Yasmine received a call from Lily, asking her to come out for dinner during the weekend. At noon on that weekend, Yasmine arrived at the place they have agreed to.

As soon as they met, Lily stared at her, and this made Yasmine feel uncomfortable. She asked softly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Every time I see you, you look so haggard that I can't bear to look at you."

"Then why are you staring at me like that if you can't bear to look at me? You're no better than me."

Lily's eyes flickered and she looked away. She asked in a deep voice, "Is there still no progress? After going to America?"

"Yes."

Yasmine nodded blankly. She picked up the cup of bitter coffee in front of her and took a sip. It was really bitter, even much bitter than the pain in her heart.

"Yasmine, it will be fine. It's not a big deal. Think about it. There are many DINK families who don't want a child."

"It's easier said than done. Is Sebastian's family a DINK family?"

Lily was rendered speechless by her question. "Yes, Sebastian's family must have children. Even ordinary people can't accept being childless, let alone a rich and powerful family like them."

"What's Sebastian's opinion on this matter?" Lily asked cautiously.

"He still doesn't know."

Yasmine put her hand on her forehead in frustration and said, "I don't know how to tell him about this."

"Well, you can't hide it from him."

"I will tell him eventually. If there is really no way to cure it, then I will confess to him."

"What if he wants to divorce you?"

Yasmine's body suddenly froze. She had never thought of this problem before. Lily's straightforward words cut her heart like a knife. "Then we'll get divorced."

Lily was very sad. When she saw the hurt in her friend's eyes, she couldn't bear to talk about this topic with her anymore, so she changed the topic to herself. "Well, I'm getting married."

Yasmine suddenly raised her head and asked, "Marry? With whom?"

"Scott Jules."

She was still shocked, certain that she had heard it wrong. "What did you say? Who are you marrying?"

"Scott Jules,"

Lily repeated.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing happened. He proposed to me, and I accepted."

Yasmine felt that something was wrong. She fell into deep thought and wondered if it was because she confronted Scott that day, and this caused him to propose to Lily.

"It's a good thing that he proposed to you, but Lily, does he love you?"

"He doesn't love me."

"Then why did you..."

"It's enough that I love him. Not everyone's marriage will be like you and Sebastian's? In fact, it is your marriage that has given me great confidence and hope."

"What do you mean?"

"Did Sebastian love you at the beginning? Did you love him? You were simply two people who hated each other. But now? You love each other more sincerely than anyone else."

Lily's words made sense. No matter how worried Yasmine was, she could only give her blessings. "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I wish you happiness."

After separating from Lily, she thought for a long while, and then she sent a text message to Scott. "I don't know why you proposed to Lily, and I don't want to know either, but I'm reminding you that Lily is a good girl. Since you have decided to marry her, please treat her well."

When Scott received the text message, he closed his eyes painfully. After a while, he dialled Lily's number. "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"I'll take you somewhere."

"Where is it?" "Don't ask for the time being. You'll know when you get there."

It was Monday the next day when Lily met Scott at school. She walked away with a blushing face. Although they had agreed to get married, but at school, Lily was too embarrassed to get too close to him. Moreover, she couldn't possibly know that her relationship with Scott was about to advance by leaps and bounds.

In the evening after school, she waited for all the teachers to go home before leaving. Scott had been sitting in the car waiting for her. When she saw that there was no one around, she quickly opened the door and got in.

"Why are you acting like a thief?"

Scott asked nonchalantly.

Lily puffed out her cheeks and answered awkwardly, "It's not a good idea to get seen."

"We are getting married soon. We don't have to be worried about being seen, and we can talk to each other openly in school."

"Yes."

She nodded and the car drove away from the compound. Along the way, she suddenly asked, "Where are we going?"

"I'll tell you when we get out of the car."

After that, the two of them stopped talking. After driving for half an hour, the car finally stopped. When she saw the words 'Peaceful Bay Resort', Lily asked nervously, "Where is this place?"

Scott got out first and opened the door for her. She jumped down nervously and followed after Scott, asking, "Didn't you say that you would tell me when we got out of the car?"

He stopped, turned around, and said, "This is where my mother lives."

Lily was shocked and she widened her eyes. Without a word, she turned around and ran. Scott pulled her back. "Why are you running away?" he asked.

"Your mother will kill me if she sees me."

"Nothing like that would happen as long as I'm here."

Scott took her hand and continued to walk.

Lily looked blankly at the hand he was holding and her heart pounded wildly. "Is this a dream? Is her hand in Scott's hand?"

Just as she was in a daze, she arrived in front of Claudine Tucker's apartment. Scott rang the doorbell and felt tension coming from behind him. He comforted her, "Don't be afraid. Show some energy."

Claudine opened the door and saw her son standing outside. She smiled and said, "Scott, come in."

Her eyes swept around casually. When she suddenly saw Lily, her face darkened immediately. "What are you doing here?"

"I invited her here,"

Scott told his mother calmly, and then he gestured to Lily. "Come with me."

Lily followed Scott into the living room weakly. Claudine looked at her with a glare as sharp as knives, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"Tell me, why did you bring this woman here?"

Claudine sat in front of her son and questioned him with a livid face.

"I'm getting married."

Scott went straight to the point, telling his mother that he was going to get married, without giving her any time to get back to her senses.
