"I said I won't let you!"
Seeing that soft measures would not work, Sebastian Simons grabbed her hand and shoved her aside. He twisted the door handle and the door was opened. He began to stride out in big steps.
Yasmine Taylor could not watch him leave just like this. She quickened her pace and rushed to him, suddenly wrapping herself around him like an octopus. No matter how hard he tried, Sebastian couldn't break free from her grasp.
"What on earth are you trying to do, Yasmine?"
"Can't you see that I'm trying to seduce you?"
As soon as she was done speaking, she took the initiative to kiss Sebastian. Sebastian's eyes widened immediately as he stood frozen for a moment. However, he did not stop her.
A trace of confusion flashed across his mind. He gradually loosened his grip on Yasmine and wrapped his arms around her waist. He did not kiss her wildly as he did in the past, yet his tongue was deeply entwined with hers.
Yasmine looped her arms around Sebastian's neck. Her body was a searing ball of fire. Gabriel Smith had tried to kiss her several times, but she always found an excuse to avoid him. However, with Sebastian, her excitement was easily ignited. She could tell that for the past two years, he had been an unbearable weight resting in her heart. The two moved to the side of the wall. Her body was squeezed between the wall and Sebastian. Sebastian held her face and pecked her lips gently. The tip of his tongue was entangled with hers as if they were forming a knot that refused to be separated, only wanting to get closer and tighter.
Yasmine's breath quickened. Her lust was now aroused. She could no longer be satisfied with such gentle kisses. She reached out for Sebastian's belt subconsciously. However, as she was about to unbuckle it, Sebastian's body stiffened all of a sudden. The vacant look on his face vanished and a cold expression took its place. He shoved Yasmine away and she fell to the ground. There was a hint of anguish in his eyes, yet he said nothing. He spun around and left in a panic...
Yasmine sensed a sharp, stinging pain in her heart. It was not because Sebastian had abandoned her, but because she felt sorry for him. He really suffered from a fear of sex.
Yasmine got up and walked to the window. She watched him as he sat in the car, gripping his hair tightly. Tears flowed out of her eyes. What should she do to rescue her lover...
After this incident, Sebastian began to avoid Yasmine intentionally. He didn't stay back and accompany the research and development team to work overtime. Yasmine knew deep down it wasn't that he didn't want to participate in her work, but rather because he just didn't want to send her home.
She even deliberately stayed in the bar until late night and called him to pick her up, but he still flat-
chapter 201 out refused. Not once, but twice. He called for a taxi to send her home instead.
Yasmine had no choice but to go to the Mansion House and visit her mother-in-law.
Standing in front of the familiar villa door, she had mixed feelings in her heart. On the night of her departure two years ago, she had vowed not to return. However, two years later, here she was, standing in front of the Mansion House once again. If it weren't for Sebastian, she would never set foot at this door ever again.
There was no competition in love. Out of true love, a person hoped that their loved ones would live a better life than them.
Madam Simons had been crying all day long ever since her husband passed away. Yasmine's unexpected appearance made a rare smile appear on her face.
"Yasmine, I didn't expect you to come to our house, let alone come back to pay your respects after your father-in-law's death," Madam Simons said.
Yasmine's heart ached when she looked at her haggard mother-in-law in front of her, "Mom, don't be sad. We can't bring back the dead. The best way to let the deceased rest in peace is to let the people he cared about live happily."
"If it weren't because I was afraid that your late father- in- law may still have some unfinished business which I must fulfill, I'd really like to follow him..."
Madam Simons cried miserably as she spoke.
"Mom, please don't think like that. You may have lost your husband, but you still have a son and a daughter. They still need you. If something happens to you, what will Sebastian and Tiffany do? Tiffany still doesn't know the news of her father's passing. If she comes back one day and sees that her beloved parents are both gone, she'll be crushed."
Madam Simons nodded with tears in her eyes. "I'm living just for the sake of both my kids now. However, the fact that I'm living alone in an empty villa every day makes me feel a little lonely and unhappy, especially when I thought of how lively our house used to be."
"Mom, in fact, I came here today to talk to you about this."
"What is it?"
"Would it be alright if I move back here?"
Madam Simon's eyes widened and she held her daughter-in-law's hand in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure."
"Of course! That's really great! It would be a pleasure to have you back here..."
There were two reasons why Yasmine wanted to move back to the Mansion House. First, she wanted to take care of her pitiful mother-in-law, and second, she wanted to get closer to Sebastian.
A few days had passed ever since he left her that day, but she had barely seen him.
Yasmine personally prepared a sumptuous meal for dinner. Then, she and her mother-in-law both waited for Sebastian's return. Sebastian was still unaware that Yasmine had moved back to his house. He reached home at six o'clock. As soon as he changed into a pair of slippers, Yasmine suddenly jumped out from behind him, "You're back."
Sebastian was shocked and he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I think Mom's too lonely, so I came back to stay with her for a few days."
"Did you even get my approval?" How could you move into my home without even asking me?"
"This is also my home..."
Yasmine grumbled with grievance.
"We're divorced."
"But you tore up the agreement."
"You..."
Sebastian couldn't think of anything to rebut her. His face darkened, "My mother has me to accompany her. Why don't you go back to the apartment?"
"You're either working or socializing all day long. How many hours in a day could you accompany her then?"
"I don't care how many hours I'll have with her. She's my mother!"
"Your mother is also my mother."
"You're not leaving, are you?"
Yasmine nodded. "Yes."
"Well, if you don't leave, then I will."
As Sebastian was about to put on his shoes and leave, Madam Simons came down from upstairs. "Stop!" "Mom,"
Sebastian turned around and called out with a stiff look on his face.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a walk."
"Will you not come home as long as Yasmine is here?"
