The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 152

Yasmine Taylor went to the closet to get changed. She looked really good. She tied her hair up into a bun. Suddenly, she looked like a beautiful young girl with the elegance of a mature woman. Sebastian Simons praised her, "My wife is really beautiful."

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yasmine and Madam Simons left the house together. The driver sent them to the venue of the banquet. The birthday banquet was for a rich lady and of course it was luxurious. However, it was nothing new to Yasmine as it was not the first time she had attended such an event.

She walked into the hall with Madam Simons by her side. A group of well-dressed and gorgeous ladies rushed towards them. They spoke and carried themselves with the intention to flatter.

At this moment, an elegant woman walked over and said with a smile, "Mila, long time no see."

Madam Simons hugged the woman warmly and said, "It's your first birthday since you came home. Of course I must attend."

She made the introductions. "This is Veronica, the wife of the chairman of Elegens Corporation. You may call her Auntie Veronica."

Yasmine nodded politely and said, "Hello, Auntie Veronica."

Veronica Lacraft looked her up and down and guessed, "Is this Yasmine Taylor, the daughter- in- law you constantly praise on the phone?"

Madam Simons smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, it's great to finally meet her. She's beautiful and sensible. Mila, you're really lucky."

"Thank you. 'Well, Veronica, your daughter-in-law is also very beautiful."

Veronica waved to the left side of the banquet hall. A gorgeous woman, who was talking to the guests, walked over. "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Allow me to make some introductions. This is Auntie Zordon, and this is her daughter- in- law, Yasmine Taylor."

"Hello, Auntie Zordon. Nice to meet you, Miss Taylor," the beautiful lady greeted them enthusiastically.

"Nice to meet you too."

Yasmine returned a polite smile. She was about to glance at the woman in front of her when a boy who was about five to six years old rushed to them and said, "Mom! Grandma!"

As soon as Veronica saw the little boy, she smiled dotingly and introduced him to Madam Simons, "This is my grandson."

She bent down and said, "Little Yalden, this is Madam Zordon."

The little boy was very well-mannered. He put his hands on the front of his waist and bowed 90 degrees. "Hello, Madam Zordon. Hello, Auntie."

"Wow, this child is so polite. Come and let me look at you." Madam Simons could not hide her love for him. She squatted down and hugged him. "What's your name?"

"My name is Yalden, and my nickname is Little Yalden."

"Yalden? Well, that's a good name. Who gave it to you?"

"My grandfather gave it to me. He hopes that when I grow up in the future, my heart will be as broad and boundless as the universe."

Hahaha. What Little Yalden said amused everyone. Among all of them who were laughing happily, only Yasmine couldn't laugh. Her mother-in-law's love for the child in her arms made her feel inferior for the first time in her life.

Madam Simons soon realized that her actions might have hurt her daughter-in-law's feelings. She immediately let go of the child in her arms and said to Veronica, "I was too focused on playing with the child that I forgot to wish you a happy birthday."

Veronica nodded. "Thank you, thank you."

Veronica's daughter- in- law took her son away. Yasmine endured the bitterness in her heart, pointed forward, and said, "Mom, I'm going to get a drink."

"Okay."

Madam Simons felt frustrated as she watched Yasmine's disappearing back. She shouldn't have expressed her desire for a grandchild in front of her daughter-in-law, but... when she looked at the child in the distance, she realized how much she wanted a grandchild. She seldom envied others, but at this moment, she was especially envious of Veronica.

And it was only because she had such a loveable grandson.

Yasmine sat in the corner with champagne in her hand. Her eyes felt a little lost. Her mother-in-law came to her and said apologetically, "Yasmine, I'm sorry. Did I upset you just now?"

Yasmine immediately shook her head and tried to squeeze out a smile. "No, Mom. Don't worry. I'm not upset."

"I didn't know that Veronica's grandson has returned too, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you here."

She had to explain it clearly to Yasmine. Otherwise, Yasmine might think that she was deliberately provoking her.

"Mom, it doesn't matter. Should I treat all the children in the world as enemies just because I couldn't bear a child? Please don't blame yourself anymore. The child is really cute."

After listening to what her daughter- in- law said, Madam Simons felt the guilt in her heart dissipate a little.

The birthday party officially began. Veronica stood in front of the cake and gave a thank-you speech. Then, her grandson ran over and said, "Happy Birthday, Grandma. May you have more wonderful days ahead of you. We wish you a long life, good health, and prosperity."

There was a round of applause from the crowd. Veronica squatted down and thanked her grandson. Her grandson hugged her neck and kissed her on the cheek.

Among the happy shouts, Veronica picked her grandson up.
