The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 207

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yasmine Taylor rushed back to F City. Instead of going to her uncle's house, she went straight to the hospital.

When she reached the hospital with a fruit basket in her hands, she was surprised to find that Gabriel Smith was also in her aunt's ward. Her aunt was delighted when she saw her. "Yasmine, why are you back?"

"Uncle Chuck told me over the phone. How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine. I'm just having a cold. I didn't expect to startle all of you."

Mindy looked at Gabriel, then at her niece as she spoke.

Yasmine then thanked Gabriel, "Thanks for coming to see my aunt."

Gabriel pretended to be angry and snorted. "Did you only notice me till now?"

"Of course I had noticed you earlier, but I'm here to see my aunt. I can't ignore her and say hello to you first, could I?"

Gabriel smiled grumpily, "I'm kidding. Do you think I'll be jealous of your aunt?"

The few of them in the ward smiled at the same time. Gabriel looked at the watch on his wrist, "I still have a meeting at the company. I'll have to leave first. Shall we have dinner together tonight?" Yasmine nodded. "Alright."

After he went out, Mindy Yard held her niece's hand and exclaimed, "Gabriel's really a good man. When he learned that I was ill last night, he dropped everything and rushed here to visit me. He also paid for my medical fees."

Chuck Lorris interrupted, "Yes, I've never seen such a kind-hearted person. Yasmine, you mustn't let him down."

Yasmine looked embarrassed. Her uncle and aunt still did not know what had happened between her and Sebastian Simons. She did not know how to explain it to them, so she just said euphemistically, "I'll think about it."

"What else is there to think about? A man like Gabriel is hard to find even in broad daylight. Also, he never minded the fact that you were once married or that you are infertile. Why are you so picky?"

When Yasmine saw that her aunt greatly approved of Gabriel, so she told her honestly, "He's a good man but the person I love is Sebastian."

"What?"

Chuck and Mindy shouted in unison, firmly rejecting the idea for Yasmine and Sebastian to have any more connection. Her uncle said, "Yasmine, as the saying goes, a fall in the pit, a gain in your wit. Haven't you learn from your mistakes yet? What's so good about Sebastian? They are just another wealthy family. Doesn't the Smith family have money too? Gabriel isn't any worse off than Sebastian, is he?" "That's right. Think about how you were driven out by them at the beginning! Now that you've recovered from your scars, you've forgotten about the pain, haven't you?"

Yasmine sighed, "Aunt, no one asked me to leave. I left on my own. Sebastian almost knelt down and begged me to stay but I still left. In fact, I feel sorry for him."

Oh my Goodness. Mindy rubbed her forehead and said to Chuck, "See, I told you as long as she goes to B City, that Simons guy would definitely do everything to charm her soul. What do you think now? Was I right?"

Chuck reprimanded his niece coldly, "I will cut my ties with you if you are going to reconcile with Sebastian!"

Yasmine could not get through to them. Later that night, she sent a text message to Sebastian when she was lying in bed.

"Have you slept yet?"

"No."

"Do you miss me?" she typed.

"No,"

"Is that a real no or a fake no?" she snorted.

"Does it matter if it's real or fake?" he responded shortly.

"If it's a real no, I'll go to bed right now. If it's fake, I'll talk to you for a while before going to bed."

After waiting for a long time, Sebastian replied, "Fake no." When Yasmine saw the message, she grinned from ear to ear. It felt sweeter than honey.

"I have something to tell you. I don't think I'll be able to go back this time."

"Why?"

"My uncle and aunt are strongly opposing our relationship. Their hearts are completely bought over by Gabriel."

Sebastian was instantly furious and his heart was filled with regret. He should not have let Yasmine go back!

"Well, will you listen to them?"

"Uh... I have to, don't I? When you abandoned me, they were the ones who took me in."

"When did I ever abandoned you?"

"Ugh, let's just drop it. Anyway, my uncle has given an ultimatum. If I go back to you, he'll cut off my relationship with him."

"Then just cut ties with him. He's not your father. Why should he meddle with who you're with?"

Yasmine did not reply to his text this time. Sebastian could not wait any longer and called her immediately, only to be informed that her phone had been turned off.

She made him anxious on purpose, to let him feel a sense of crisis.

However, Yasmine did not expect that Sebastian would rush to F City the next afternoon.

When she went to the airport to pick him up, Yasmine rolled her eyes and huffed, "Why are you here?"

"To kidnap you!"

Sebastian took her hand forcefully and said, "Come back with me."

Yasmine struggled to break free. "No, my aunt is still sick. Do you want me to abandon them and run away with you? Are you pulling the biggest prank in the world?"

"Well, what do you want to do then?"

"If you really want me back, you have to get my uncle's blessing first. If the old man agrees, I'll go with you at once."

Her aunt knocked on the door and called for her. Yasmine was really anxious. She promised Sebastian, "Next week, I'll tell him the truth right away once the new products are listed successfully. I promise that I won't beat around the bush, okay?"

As she spoke, she tiptoed to plant a heavy kiss on Sebastian's face.

Yasmine walked out of the room. Gabriel teased her, "The sun is already up, and yet you're still sleeping like a log. Apart from me, who else would like such a lazy woman like you?"

Yasmine quickly tossed her hair in an awkward manner. "Why are you here at this time? Did anything happen?"

"I've just settled the company's affairs, so I thought of coming over and have lunch with you. It's rare for you to come back to F City. I want to spend every minute and second with you."

Mindy smiled, "The work in B City will be over soon. By then, you'll have plenty of time to get along with each other."

Sebastian listened to the conversation through the door. He was so infuriated that his lungs were going to burst. If it weren't the fact that he was afraid Yasmine would get angry at him, he wanted to rush out at that moment and tell everyone that Yasmine was his and that no one else should lay a finger on her!

Gabriel eventually dragged Yasmine out for lunch. Yasmine was thinking about Sebastian, who was still at home, hence she did not have much appetite. After a while, she finally found an excuse to go home, only to be told that Sebastian had left.

She tried to chase after him but her uncle grabbed her, "Your aunt's still sick. Are you going to just leave her alone like this?"

Yasmine pointed outside. "But Sebastian..."

"He's a grown man," Chuck snapped. "Are you afraid he'll lose his way?"

Noticing that her aunt was sitting feebly on the sofa, Yasmine could not bring herself to leave. She called Sebastian, but his phone was switched off. It seemed that he was really furious.

Yasmine lost count of the number of times she had tried to call him throughout the whole afternoon. Sebastian did not turn his phone on at all. After the sky got dark, she thought of calling Tiffany Simons. The call was answered just after two beeps. "Hello, Yasmine?"

"Tiffany, is your brother back?"

"Yes, he is. He's in the study. What's wrong?" "Could you please pass the phone to him?"

"Sure, just a minute.1

Tiffany went to the study. After a while, she lowered her voice to the phone and said, "Yasmine, my brother doesn't want to speak on the phone. Did you two have a fight?"

Yasmine sighed in disappointment, "Ugh, it's a long story. Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow. I'll talk about it when I'm back."

The next day, Yasmine took an early flight back to B City. She went straight to the company without returning home. Sebastian was not happy to see her. He asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you answer my phone? Don't you know that I'd be worried?"

Sebastian snorted, "You were busy dating with your new boyfriend. Do you still have the time to worry about me?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just looking at the big picture. If it weren't for the product launch this coming Monday, I would not have endured the pain of leaving you at home and suffer the wrath of my aunt and uncle. I just want the launch to be successful."

"Don't bother saying those cheesy words, Yasmine. I'm not a three-year-old kid whom you could fool easily. You can't lie to me with a few good words."
