The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 54

Yasmine Taylor found a quiet place to take the call. "Hello?"

"Where is your classmate's home?"

Sebastian Simons's sudden question made her even more uneasy. "Why do you ask this?"

"I happened to pass by T City on my business trip. If the wedding is over, I can take you back on the way."

In an instant, she felt relieved. She declined politely, "No, thanks. I'll stay for another two days. You can go back first."

"Oh, it's all right, then."

He hung up the phone decisively without even asking her how she was. Yasmine did not mind as it was already a miracle that he called her proactively.

When she returned to the coffee shop, she was in a cheerful mood. From a distance, she saw that Richie Lind was quarreling with his son so she hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yasmine, I don't want to go home with Dad. I want to be with you."

Leighton Lind's tears were worthless. He cried easily even though he was already in his twenties.

"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave now, I'll break your legs."

When Richie was about to take action, Yasmine hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough, Godfather, don't you have something else to do? Leave Leighton to me. I'll send him back."

"Is this okay? Will it bother you too much?"

"It doesn't matter. No problem."

"Okay, I'll go first, then. Call me when you've arrived safely."

Richie nodded slightly at Linda, turned around, and left after saying goodbye.

Linda Taylor did not look fine from the moment Richie appeared. The more Yasmine was calm, the more she became irritated. "Don't think that I will believe you just by your colluding with each other and acting in front of me. Listen carefully. One day, I will tear off your mask mercilessly and make you feel ashamed to live in this world!"

"Then, you listen carefully as well. The person who should go to the deepest level of hell is definitely not me."

After saying that, Yasmine held Leighton's hand and walked out of the coffee shop with her chin up and chest out.

"Yasmine, where are you taking me?"

"Home."

"I won't go home unless you go home with me..."

"All right, I'll go home with you."

She sighed and took out her mobile phone. As expected, she saw an unread text message. "I've done what I should do. I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible." The sender was Richie.

Her mood, which had just been brightened, began to darken again.

On the way to the airport, she hesitated for a long time before she said to Leighton next to her, "Leighton, when you're home, tell your Dad that you don't like me and don't want me to be your wife, okay?"

Leighton was stunned and answered truthfully, "But I like you and I want you to be my wife."

"Your liking me doesn't mean I have to be your wife. Besides, you don't understand what it means to like someone."

"I understand. Mom said that you like someone if you miss someone. The person I miss the most is you, Yasmine."

"That's not like, it's dependence."

"I don't care what it is. Anyway, I just like you!"

In the face of his child-like innocence, Yasmine felt really helpless.

After a three-hour flight, Leighton was finally sent home safely at ten o'clock at night. His mother was so joyful to see her son back that she had no time to rebuke Yasmine. She cried and laughed at the same time, all the while holding her son until he fell asleep on her shoulder.

Seeing that Leighton had fallen asleep, Yasmine stood up and took her leave. Although Madam Lind was upset, she could not force her to stay. She just urged her to solve the problem in City B as soon as possible, and then come back to Leighton's side to fulfill her promise to take care of him for the rest of her life.

Yasmine was already exhausted when she walked out of the Lind family mansion. As she flew back and forth between City B and T City these two days, not only was she physically drained, but she also had to endure inhumane mental torture.

She was really tired of living such a chaotic life, where she had to tell a lie to cover another every day. But what could she do? At this point, there was no turning back...

She did not know where to go, so she walked aimlessly on the empty road. In fact, she could have stayed over at the Lind family's house for a night, but she did not want to, because she knew that it would be difficult for her to get away when Leighton woke up the next day.

When she was at a loss, she thought of Sebastian inadvertently. He had said that he would pass by T City on his business trip. Could he be in T City at this time?

Trying her luck, she dialed his number, but no one answered the phone even after it rang for a long time. However, she did not give up and tried calling again. A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who's speaking?"

Yasmine thought that she had dialed the wrong number, so she deliberately brought her phone to the front of her eyes to confirm. It was right. It clearly showed Sebastian's name. How could it be picked up by a woman? What's more, it was in the middle of the night, the time at which the occurrence of a one- night stand was most probable?"

"I'm Sebastian's wife. Who are you?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then she heard Sebastian's voice, "What's the matter?"

"Are you having s*x?"

"... Why are you so straightforward?"

"What's wrong? Are you really having s*x?"

"That was my friend..."

"Hey, Sebastian, do you also have female friends? I thought I was your one and only female friend."
