The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 36

Madam Simons glared at her daughter in embarrassment. "You're not married yet. How can you speak in such an unrestrained manner?"

"Oh, Mother, do you think you're living in the 1970s? Now, even primary school students are dating. Forget it, I don't want to talk to you, there is a generation gap."

Tiffany stood up and said, "Yasmine, let's go together. Otherwise, no one can save you if I leave first."

Yasmine smiled gently and said, "It's all right. You can leave first. Anyway, it's out of the way."

"Then I'll leave now."

"Okay," Yasmine said.

As soon as Tiffany left, her mother-in-law sighed heavily and said, "You should leave, too. Don't be late for work."

Yasmine really did not want to disappoint an elderly, but there were some things that were beyond her capability. "Mom, I understand your feelings, but the matter of giving birth to a child can't be hurried. I think that the most important thing now is to get him out of trauma as soon as possible."

On her way to school, Yasmine repeatedly thought about a problem. Last night, she had warned herself not to let Sebastian fall in love with her, but what was she doing this morning? Why did she tell him that she had claustrophobia? And why did she promise Madam Simons from the bottom of her heart that she would never leave?

When she said those words and made those decisions, did she still remember the initial intention of her marriage?

The day passed quickly. After school, in the afternoon, Yasmine and Lily Adams walked out of the school side by side. Yasmine's head was lowered when Lily suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, that's good progress."

"What?"

Yasmin asked in confusion.

"Look over there," Lily instructed.

Following Lily's line of sight, Yasmine's eyes widened and asked in disbelief, "Is that Sebastian?"

"Yeah, don't you recognize your husband anymore?" Lily teased.

It was not that she did not recognize him. She just found it unbelievable that Sebastian would appear at her school.

Sebastian was wearing a pair of sunglasses and leaned against the car with his arms crossed over his chest. His handsome appearance attracted the attention of many female students.

When he saw them walking over, he reached out to open the car door. Yasmine glanced at him a few times and got in without asking questions.

"Would you like to join us?"

Sebastian asked Lily, but she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no. My house is nearby."

She winked at Yasmine purposefully, then left.

After the car engine was started, Yasmine could not stand the heavy atmosphere. She feigned nonchalance and asked, "Did you happen to pass by?"

"Yes."

He responded softly. Even if he came here on purpose, as an arrogant person, he would not be willing to admit that.

So much for her trying to break the silence, his bland response made the atmosphere awkward again.

After a long while, Yasmine spoke again, reminding him, "Are we going in the right direction? It doesn't look like it's the way home."

"Who said that we're going home?"

"Where are we going, then?" she asked nervously.

Sebastian glanced at her indifferently and said grumpily, "What are you afraid of? I won't sell you away."

The mid-summer wind wafted on people's faces like gliding silk, soft and warm.

Yasmine did not expect that Sebastian would take her to a crowded and happening open-air barbecue food court. After getting out of the car, she blinked her eyes in a daze and asked, "What are we here for?"

"Nonsense. To eat, of course."

Sebastian took the lead and walked ahead while Yasmine followed closely behind him. They picked a clean table and sat down casually.

"What would you like to eat?"

The boss, who was wearing a greasy apron, walked over with a smile and handed them a shabby menu.

"You order."

Sebastian pushed the menu to her. It was not easy to keep a gentleman's demeanor in such a place.

Yasmine did not refuse. She simply ordered four dishes, two meat, and two vegetables, and closed the menu. "Thank you, that's all."

"Okay, wait a moment."

As soon as the boss left, she suddenly burst into laughter. Sebastian frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't expect that you'll come to such a place for dinner," she explained.

"Is it strange? Not everything in this world is within your expectation," he said.

She shrugged and said, "I just find it unbelievable."

"I figure you think I'm being stingy. Don't you feel uneasy that your rich husband brought you to such a cheap place to eat?"

"No, I don't think so."

Yasmine shook her head and said with a smile, "The fact that our first date at an open-air food court and not any five-star hotel or famous restaurant makes it absolutely unforgettable."

"Correction. This is not a date. We're not there yet," he refuted.
