The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 158

Lily Adams stared at the ground stubbornly and did not explain to defend herself. No matter how aggrieved she felt, she would not tell Scott Jules that the conflict started because they were insulting her relationship with him.

"Miss Adams, come to my office!"

Scott roared with a gloomy face. Then, he turned around and left.

The female teacher raised her head triumphantly. Lily glanced at her angrily and left the room.

Standing in the Principal's office, Lily lowered her head and did not speak. Scott glanced at her from top to bottom.

"Aren't you going to explain something?"

"You won't believe me no matter what I say anyway."

Scott raised his eyebrows. "You've yet to say anything, so how do you know that I wouldn't believe you?"

"Your attitude just now said it all."

He laughed, got up, and walked to her. "Do you really think that I'm unaware of the reason you fought with them? It must be because of our sudden wedding."

Lily raised her head and said, aggrieved, "Why did you treat me so harshly if you knew that?"

"If I stood up for you, your life would be harder in the future, idiot!"

He poked her forehead hard, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit over there."

Lily turned around and sat on the sofa like a puppet, unmoving.

Scott took a first-aid-kit and sat down next to her. He gently helped her disinfect her wounds and put medicine on it.

"You're unexpectedly good at fighting. Half of Miss Xenes eyes are already bruised."

Lily didn't say anything.

"She's just an intern. You don't have to listen to her. I'll teach her a lesson later."

Lily still didn't say anything.

"Don't fight anymore in the future. It would only affect you negatively."

Realizing that she had been quiet the whole time, Scott lowered his head and saw the tears in Lily's eyes. His heart suddenly softened. He sighed softly and said nothing. He stretched out his arm and gave her a comforting hug. This was the first time Scott had taken the initiative to hug Lily. The moment she leaned on his shoulder, Lily's tears finally slipped out of her eyes.

Yasmine Taylor took a whole day to force herself to accept the inevitable fact. She decided to have a good talk with Sebastian Simons.

In the evening, Sebastian came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. Yasmine, who was sitting on the sofa, waved to him and said, "Come here, Sebastian. I have something to tell you." Sebastian was drying his hair with his towel as he walked towards her. He asked, "What is it?"

"Let me do it."

She took his towel, sat him on the sofa, and gently mimicked his movements.

"Sebastian, you want to be a father, don't you?"

Sebastian's body suddenly shook, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you suddenly talking about this again?"

"I'm just saying, if you want to be a father, I'll let you be one."

Sebastian seemed to have realized something. He turned around and pinched her arm. "What do you mean?"

"I've talked to your parents. They want to find a surrogate mother to give birth to your child."

"Ridiculous!"

Sebastian shook her hand off angrily and said, "This is complete nonsense. Don't tell me that you have agreed to this."

Yasmine endured the pain and said with difficulty, "Yes. I've agreed to it."

Sebastian's eyes widened with disbelief. He roared all of a sudden, "Are you crazy? How could you agree to it? Didn't we agree to adopt a child?"

"Yes, but your parents don't agree to that, so what could I do?"

"It doesn't matter if they don't agree to it. It's enough as long as I agree to it. This is between us, not them!" "But I couldn't do that now, could I? I couldn't possibly just care about my own happiness and neglect other people's feelings."

"Are you saying that in order to make others happy, you would rather throw your dignity away?"

Yasmine covered her face and cried. "This is the only way for me to maintain the marriage. As long as I can be with you, Sebastian, I will bear all the grievances and pain. What is dignity? I have told you a long time ago that dignity is the least valuable thing in my life."

Sebastian saw that she was crying sadly, but he did not show any mercy. Instead, he told her clearly, "I will never agree to it."

"Then, let's get divorced."

Yasmine chased him down the stairs and stood behind Sebastian, sobbing and shouting. "I agreed to it willingly. Please don't blame anyone else."

"Stop talking!"

Sebastian roared angrily. He continued to question his parents, "Is it really so important to pass on the bloodline? Is it so important that you are willing to step on someone's dignity and yet think nothing about it? What's wrong with adopting a child? Who stipulated that only biological children could further the bloodline?"

"If the child isn't from our bloodline, then he is not our family. If the child does not belong to our family, he will never be one of us, nor would he be able to stay aligned with us."

Titus Simons yelled back in a fit of rage.

"Are you forcing me out of this house again?"

"Even if you leave this house, my stance will not change. I can make concessions for anything, but over this matter, my stance will never change."

"What's the point of keeping your stance if you don't have a son anymore?"

"The bloodline will be broken if I have no son, but as long as my son is alive, I will never agree to adopting a child who doesn't have any blood relations to our family!"

Titus's expression was solemn, and it was the first time he fought with his son.

"In that case, from today onward, you don't have a son anymore!"

Sebastian turned around and was about to leave when Titus yelled, "If you dare to step out of this house, I will assume that you have completely given up on the family business."

When she heard what Titus said, Yasmine felt like her heart was being stabbed by knives. She rushed to Sebastian and pleaded, "Sebastian, don't leave. All your misfortunes have been caused by me. If you lose everything because of me, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life."

"My family property is nothing to me."

Sebastian shook her hand off and continued to move forward. Suddenly, Madam Simons fell down in a daze. "Mom!"

"Mila!"

Sebastian couldn't bear the yells of panic, so he turned back. Several people surrounded Madam Simons and stuffed some medicine into her mouth. After a while, Madam Simons finally woke up. She stared at her son and said weakly, "I will not be able to live if you leave this house again..."

Sebastian clenched his fists. Suddenly, he roared like a wild beast, "Okay, I agree. If this is what you hope for, then I'll just do it!"

He glared at Yasmine fiercely, turned around, and walked out of the house in anger.

Yasmine squatted on the ground and cried sadly. How could she face herself if she was the one who made Sebastian sad? When in fact, she should be the saddest person there.
