The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 24

Sebastian lifted his eyebrow.

Yasmine sighed and flushed even harder. She covered her eyes with one hand, and said, "Well, it looks like you learned how to be arrogant from me. Good job! And, I learned not to knock on a door, from you."

With a grin, she quickly fled back to her room.

Sebastian snorted, "What kind of woman is she?" Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

After taking a shower, he wore only a pair of shorts and was casually lying on the couch, reading a financial magazine. Yasmine suddenly opened the door of her little room, and said, "How about we exchange phone numbers?"

She had her hand in front of her ready to block her vision. Truthfully, she had already seen the man's well- built figure through the gaps between her fingers. By doing so, the situation would seem less awkward for both of them.

"I don't want to."

Sebastian turned her down without even giving her as much as a side glance.

"Why not? It's for convenience."

"I don't think there's a need for that."

"..." Fine then.

On the evening of the next day, Yasmine ended her work and rushed home from school. She ran upstairs and quickly changed into a light purple long gown.

She put on some light make up and wore a pair of earrings. Even though she causally dressed herself up, she managed to look effortlessly elegant.

Looking at the clock, she rushed downstairs and ran into Tiffany Simons. Tiffany was bedazzled, praising, "Wow, Yasmine. You look so gorgeous today. Are you going on a date?"

"I'm not going on a date, I'm going to a ball." She explained hurriedly with a smile.

"Are you going alone or with my brother?" Tiffany prodded further, curious.

"I'm going with him. But he doesn't seem to be home yet."

Yasmine looked out of the door anxiously. She began to worry whether Sebastian would change his mind. Did he forget what he promised or something came up...

Seeing her nervous face, Tiffany couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. "Don't worry. Although my brother has the worst temper, but he always keeps his promise." she comforted.

Despite that, she had no right to interfere with other's lives.

Everyone had their own path to take, "Nice to meet you."

Sebastian replied calmly. He glanced at the crowd in the hall and said to Yasmine, "I'll only walk around one time with you before I go. I won't stay for long."

"Okay."

Yasmine already expected this. She didn't plan to ask him stay for the whole party too.

As they stepped forward, Lily grabbed Yasmine's arm out of a sudden and quickly reminded her, "Scott is back!"

"Huh?"

Yasmine was taken aback. She did not get any news of this the whole day. Why did things change after she went home to get ready? Although there was nothing between them, Scott Jules's feeling for her was an obvious fact and everyone knew it. He had always been publicly showing his affection towards her. He went to Germany for an academic conference a month ago and he wasn't aware about her sudden marriage. Yasmine wasn't sure what he would do if he found out about her marriage...

Glancing at the man next to her, she suddenly lost the courage to go forward.
