The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 209

Exhausted, Sebastian Simons closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. After two years, he could finally relieve this burden from his shoulders.

At dawn, he turned to the side and instinctively stretched his arm out. He wanted to hold the woman next to him but he could not feel anything. He was shocked and he turned the bedside lamp on hastily. Yasmine was not on the bed and the space beside him was empty.

Sebastian lifted the blanket and got off the bed. He immediately went to Yasmine's bedroom. When he opened the door and took a closer look, he calmed down. He saw a person lying on the big bed in the middle of the room. Her breathing was even and her face was calm...

As the psychological stress that accompanied him for the past two years dissipated, Sebastian felt like a cool breeze. Finally, a relaxed smile appeared on his cold face.

Monday was the launch day for the new products and the employees in Yaslor Corporation were full of delight. The press conference in the morning went smoothly. At noon, Sebastian did not see Yasmine at the celebration party at the hotel.

Confused, he frowned and moved along the crowd with a wine glass on his hand. Noticing his absent-minded look, the leader of the research and development team walked over and asked, "President Sebastian, are you looking for someone?"

"Why isn't Miss Lorris here?"

He pretended to ask casually.

"Oh, Miss Lorris said that she still had something to attend to. She left as soon as the press conference was over this morning."

A trace of uneasiness flashed before Sebastian's heart, but he did not reveal it. He nodded with a smile, "Thanks, I got it."

The party lasted until the evening. As soon as it ended, Sebastian rushed home and ran upstairs. He shouted in a deep voice, "Yasmine? Yasmine? Are you at home?"

There was no response. He pushed the door open but there was no one in the bedroom. He knitted his eyebrows and called her on his phone, only to find that her phone had been turned off.

Sebastian felt increasingly unsettled. He went downstairs again and bumped into the housekeeper outside the living room. The housekeeper took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to him. "Young Master, the Young Mistress asked me to give this to you personally."

Sebastian took it in a hurry and tore it open. The letter read, "I don't know if you're anxiously looking for me when you see this letter. Maybe that's not the case, but it was just me hoping so. I'm leaving. After all, you don't need me anymore. I hope you can live a good life in the future because I won't save you again for the third time."

Sebastian dialed Yasmine's number hastily, in which a gentle voice then answered him tirelessly, "The number you have dialed has been switched off."

He hurried to the airport only to discover that the last flight to F City had taken off half an hour ago.

Sebastian's heart sank, and it felt as it had been wrenched out of his chest. He stood outside the terminal for two whole hours, smoking a whole pack of cigarettes.

The next morning, he sped off to the airport again and took the earliest flight to F City.

It was the second time Mindy Yard met Sebastian. Her attitude remained indifferent but she was visibly less surprised compared with the first time she met him.

"Aunt, is Yasmine back?"

"No. She's not."

She replied grumpily, showing the obvious dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Sebastian did not believe her. He said in a hoarse voice, "Aunt, I know you have a problem with me, but please tell me where Yasmine is. I have something to say to her."

"I already told you that she didn't come back. If you don't believe me, you may sit here and wait."

Mindy was getting impatient as she spoke. Sebastian really took a seat and waited. Before getting off the plane, he had made a call to the Goldeap Corporation. He had confirmed that Yasmine did not go to work that day.

Sebastian waited for the whole day. Chuck Lorris came back from the docks in the evening. He was visibly upset when he saw Sebastian sitting in the living room. Chuck asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Chuck, he's here for Yasmine."

Mindy answered for Sebastian.

"Isn't Yasmine staying with you this whole time? Why did you come to my house to look for her then?" Chuck suddenly came forward and grabbed his collar. "Did you cross the line and drive her away again?"

Sebastian did not explain anything. He said calmly, "Please tell me where she is."

"We don't know! Get outta here! Don't you think you've tortured my niece enough?"

Chuck shoved Sebastian furiously out of the house. Sebastian looked at the shut door in front of him but did not feel discouraged. He turned around and left the Lorrises but he did not go too far. Instead, he hid in a small nearby supermarket.
