"Mom decided on it today," said Yasmine Taylor.
"Do you have to agree to everything she wants? Can't you say no?" Sebastian Simons said.
"But I want to go there."
Speechless, Sebastian frowned and said earnestly, "If you want to go, I can take you there. Why must you go with her?"
"I have not seen diamond snow before."
Yasmine's words made him choke. Sebastian explained awkwardly, "I really wanted to take you to Hokkaido, but you got angry and ran there without me, so what could I have done?"
"I'm not blaming you. I'm just being considerate because you're busy with work."
"As soon as you say the word, I will take you anywhere you want tomorrow. May it be America, England, Germany, France; anywhere on this earth."
"Well, stop joking. I'm going with mom, not another man, so why are you so nervous?"
"It's because you're going with my mother that I'm worried about you. Don't be fooled by her age because she is more playful than us young people. Either she doesn't go for a trip, or she won't be back in ten days or even half a month. Don't believe her when she says that you'll be back in a week. If you come back within a month, I'll cut off my head and give it to you!" Yasmine smiled stiffly. "You're exaggerating."
"It's not an exaggeration at all. You've been married to our family for more than half a year already, and you've not seen her go for holiday before, have you?"
"No."
"That's right. My father, Tiffany, and I, we don't allow her out. Once she goes out, she won't be back for many days. We worry about her."
"Yes, but don't worry this time. As long as I'm there, I'll be back at the scheduled time."
"Are you determined to go to America?"
Sebastian really wanted to open the window and throw her out. After spending so long trying to emotionally blackmail her from going, she still didn't listen to him.
"Well, I am."
"You..." Sebastian's eyes widened and he rubbed his chest. "I'm so angry that my stomach hurts."
In the end, he failed to stop Yasmine from going to the United States with his mother. In fact, he did not know that Yasmine's short separation from him was so that she could stay with him for a better and longer time in the future.
Love required sacrifice, so did marriage.
On the way to the airport, Sebastian kept a sullen face. Before Yasmine could say anything, he warned his mother with a fierce look, "You promise to be back in a week. If you don't come back in a weeks' time, forget about ever leaving the house again." "Hey, kid, you think you can boss your mom around?"
"If you're not taking my wife away, I wouldn't have bothered about you."
"Your wife volunteered."
Sebastian glanced at Yasmine. When he thought of what she had said last night, he felt a rage inside of him.
"If you want to say goodbye, then hurry up. There's not much time left."
Hearing this, Yasmine grabbed Sebastian's hand and pulled him aside. She whispered, "While I'm not here this week, take good care of yourself and don't work too hard."
Although Sebastian did not want her to leave his sight, they had already reached this point. So, he could only accept it, no matter how unhappy he was. He nodded and said, "You too. Take care of yourself."
"You are not allowed to secretly contact Abigail Tanner, no matter what reason she has to meet you."
In fact, this was what Yasmine worried about the most.
He snorted angrily and said, "Since you're not reassured, then don't go. Just stay by my side and watch me."
She did not want to go. She would not go anywhere unless it was absolutely necessary. She would stay by Sebastian's side until both of them were old.
The plane took off. Yasmine was deeply reluctant to part with Sebastian and go to a distant country, placing all her hope on what was in that country.
After a 16- hour flight, they finally arrived in Los Angeles, in the United States. Madam Simons had already made a reservation at a hotel in advance. On the way to the hotel, she received a phone call. Yasmine listened to their conversation on the phone. It was related to her examination.
After hanging up the phone, she whispered, "Mom, was that your friend?"
"Yes, they asked if we had arrived. They want to treat us to dinner now."
"Then why did you refuse?"
"I don't want you to be too tired. You have been on a plane for such a long time, so it's time for you to take a rest. Only after you have a good rest will you have the energy for the check-up."
