It was a dead silence. After a long time, Sebastian finally opened his mouth and said,
"Perhaps you think that the answer is not important to you, but it is important to me. If I don’t untie this knot in my heart, I’ll never be at peace."
Yasmine pushed him away. "What made you restless isn’t because she betrayed you! Instead, it's because she never got to be your wife!"
"Yasmine!"
Sebastian’s anger was rising inside him. "Why did you twist my words? You know I didn't mean that!"
"I'm sorry. But from my understanding, that’s what you meant. I know you, you think marriage is as simple as changing clothes. You could throw me away and take her back!”
"Stop the nonsense!"
Sebastian was really angry. He suddenly leaned forward and pressed her under his body. The hot and stuffy air enveloped her.
"You're not allowed to say such things again..."
She heard his voice and smelled his breath. She did not move at first but later she struggled hard, trying to get away from his grasp. "Let me go! Go and find your Abigail! I don’t mind it at all! Go and find her!"
"Don't mention her name again!" The man shouted and pressed her under his body. He restrained her weak legs with his own long legs and slapped her butt with his hand. "I’ve said it before, you're my wife now!"
"But the one you're thinking about is not your wife..." Yasmine kept struggling. The collar of her shirt slipped open due to her violent movements. "Let me go. I hate you!"
Sebastian Simons became furious again when he heard the words ‘I hate you’. He turned her over and dragged her into his arms. He lowered his head and violently kissed her seductive lips.
He kissed her tears away and squeezed her tiny waist with his big hands. He was so strong that he was almost going to break her waist into two.
She lay in his arms and could not see his face clearly. But she saw his fiery eyes, it was so hot and bright, making her shiver.
Her body slowly softened, and the pleasure slowly messed up her consciousness. She really hated this man, but at the same time, she loved him so much.
Yasmine gradually woke up and she felt the pain in her body return as the numbness left. Her lower body was still sore from his attack.
The bathroom door creaked open, and Sebastian came out with a bath towel around his waist. His hair was still wet, and a touch of tenderness appeared on his lips. "I'll carry you in for a bath..."
Yasmine got up, but her beautiful eyes were empty. She did not allow him to carry her and walked into the bathroom by herself.
She stayed in the bathtub and did not come out.
After pondering for a really long time, Yasmine decided to ask Ethan Zordon out. She called the number Ethan gave to her. He did not refuse and promised to meet her.
The next evening, Yasmine met him at the cafe. He was wearing a leather suit and pants, carrying a big guitar on his shoulder. It looked like he was either getting ready for a gig, or had just finished a performance.
Staring at him from afar, Yasmine admitted that Ethan was also a handsome man. If Abigail left Sebastian for no other reason, it was not impossible that she fell in love with Ethan.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Ethan put his guitar aside. He grinned at Yasmine with a bright smile.
"Not too long. What do you want to drink?"
Yasmine handed him the coffee menu.
"I'll have a Cappuccino."
Ethan simply glanced at the menu.
She called the waiter and said, "Two cups of cappuccino."
"Why did you ask me out?"
Ethan went straight to the point.
"Can you take me to Abigail? There’s something I need to tell her."
After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do about it."
"Why? You should know that your cousin is looking for her now. Do you want him to find her first?" "He won’t find her."
Ethan was very sure.
The waiter brought the coffee. Yasmine hurriedly took a sip and said, "Since she’s already back here, why does she want to hide? What is she trying to do?"
"I don’t think you should meet her."
"What do you mean? Do you think that I will attack her?"
"No, it’s not that."
"Then why won't you let me see her? I just want to talk to her."
Ethan sighed and said, "I’m really sorry. Abigail doesn't want to see anyone for the time being. When she’s ready to meet you, she will find you.”
Seeing his firm stance, Yasmine Taylor asked for the last time, "Are you sure I can't?"
"Yes."
He refused once again.
"Fine, if it’s that troublesome, then I won’t make things difficult."
Yasmine lowered her head and sipped her coffee, but she was unable to hide the disappointment on her face.
After Ethan left, she walked on the street in a trance. She did not want to go home so early, but she did not know where else she could go. Yasmine walked on the streets for a long time when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. "Yasmine, Yasmine!"
She turned and looked around, searching for the source of the voice. She saw that the person who called her was Scott Jules's mother, Claudine Tucker.
Claudine poked her head out of the car window and waved at her with a smile. Although she had made a promise that she would not see Claudine again, she could not just walk away so rudely.
She walked towards her car and greeted politely, "Auntie, what a coincidence."
Claudine got out of the car. She seemed to be very happy to see her. "Yes, what a coincidence." She looked at her empty hands and asked, "Are you going shopping?"
"No, I just met up with a friend and I was about to go home."
"You didn’t drive?"
"Yes."
"You don’t have anything to do at home, right? Why don't we have dinner together again?"
Yasmine was a little embarrassed. "I can't always be bothering you."
"Don’t worry, it’s fine. I know a place which serves some nice grilled meat, why don't we go there?"
