The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 18

Yasmine Taylor came downstairs with a luggage full of things. Sebastian Simons took it from her with a poker face and then walked straight to the Rolls-Royce parked outside. He opened the car boot and tossed in her luggage.

The Taylor couple bid their daughter goodbye with their phony grins. Linda Taylor, who just suffered a severe blow, did not send them off.

It was another episode of 'pleasing' regards. Yasmine could finally escape the two hypocrites as Sebastian started the engine. With Sebastian's help, her trip home concluded well. She let out a long sigh of relief and looked at the man next to her, saying sincerely, "Thank you for what you did today."

Sebastian did not respond. Yasmine felt weird, but she remembered how his eyes were extremely cold when he took her luggage.

"Why are you so quiet?" Yasmine asked.

Without warning, the car screeched to a halt at the side of the road as he slammed the brakes. Sebastian turned to her, still expressionless, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me the truth, when I was choosing a wife?"

Yasmine's heart missed a beat. Her face fell. She asked, “Tell you about what?"

"Even if I had been married six times, I will not marry an illegitimate daughter, especially someone born to a lowly dancer. Your stepmother was being considerate to you and gave you a chance. What does she take our family as? A charity organisation?"

For a whole minute, Yasmine could not utter anything. The phrase "illegitimate daughter" pierced through her heart mercilessly like a sharp knife. She could feel her heart bleeding.

All these years, she thought she had gotten immune and could not be bothered, it turned out that she still felt hurt.

Yasmine stormed away when a cold voice came from behind. "I can only be patient with women for three minutes. Are you getting into the car or not?"

The meaning behind was obvious. He would not repeat himself more than three times. In fact, he never had such patience with all of his ex-wives.

Yasmine closed her eyes and muttered silently in her heart, "Mom, I'm sorry. Just let me be petulant once."

Seeing that Yasmine was not going to accept his offer, Sebastian turned around and got into the car. He banged the door in a huff, started the engine, and drove away...

When he got home, he walked into the living room with a sour face. Mila Simons, who was happily enjoying tea on the couch saw him. Shocked, she stood up and asked, "Why did you come home alone? Where is your wife?"
