Sebastian put on his clothes and got dressed. Yasmine still shut herself up in the room and did not come out. He walked over and knocked on the door. "Hey, you're usually open-minded. You don't need to be so ashamed of such a trivial matter, do you?"
There was no response from inside the room.
He continued to knock on the door. "Don't take it to heart. I'm not anyone else. It's very natural for you to want it from me," he coaxed.
"Well, come out quickly. It's my fault that I made you feel lonely all the time," he continued.
The door was opened with a bang, Yasmine was furious. She shouted out of control, "Are you crazy? Going out to swim in the middle of the night?"
Sebastian was stunned by her roar and said innocently, "I've always been crazy, and you know that."
"Yes, I know, but I didn't know you could be this crazy!" she said defensively.
"Now you know it, don't you? It's not too late to know now. Don't be so fierce, be more gentle," he said.
Yasmine was so angry. Her mind must have gone crazy after she was thrown into the swimming pool last night, hence coming to him to seek comfort from him. No, wait, she had not been thrown into the swimming pool before she came to him.
It must be the heavy rain in T City two days ago, which caused damage to her brain.
"Hurry up and freshen up. I'll bring you out to buy some clothes," he said.
Yasmine snorted, "No thanks, my clothes are already dry."
"Are you so sloppy? You're not going to change your clothes on such a hot day? Even if it's dry, the smell of sweat is still on it," he claimed.
She thought for a moment and said softly, "If only you delete the recording, I'll do whatever you say today."
Sebastian sniggered and thought about it. She was actually still thinking about that.
"Okay," he agreed.
He took out his mobile phone and deleted it in front of her.
Yasmine breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the sofa in the living room, and said, "Give me five minutes."
After tidying up, the two of them walked out of the room together and bumped into Kaleb Lorris. Kaleb was accompanied by a beautiful girl who had been massaging him last night. He greeted her ambiguously, "Miss Taylor, good morning."
"Morning," she replied.
"You two had too much exercise last night, right? Why is 7th Madam so weak?" He asked Sebastian tastefully. Sebastian nodded and said, "Yes, a little bit."
Yasmine pinched him hard and he gave a purposeful smile, saying, "We need to run some errands. Tell Marcus and Jeremy that we will head back to City B at 3 o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Kaleb smiled and nodded. When he left with the beauty, he did not forget to tease Yasmine. "You have to exercise more, this beauty next to me is really good at it."
Yasmine was speechless. When she walked out of the hotel, she asked Sebastian, "How do you know rich playboys like Kaleb, Marcus, and Jeremy?"
Sebastian asked her disapprovingly, "How much better am I compared to them in your eyes?"
Yasmine was speechless. Although Sebastian was not as lecherous as them, he was not much better than them in other aspects.
Although T City's economy was not as prosperous as City B's, there were many large shopping malls. However, Sebastian was not satisfied even having been to several of them.
"We're just looking for a casual setting, we're not going to attend a grand ceremony. Why do you have to be so picky?"
Yasmine was a little impatient. Sebastian had always focused on the little details, but she was not the same.
"How can we pick casually? We can't do that no matter to people or clothes. We must choose those that we are really satisfied with. Especially for you women, otherwise, basically half of your life will be ruined," he debated.
"Everyone can say that, but not all can walk the talk. I can see it from how you get married and divorced so frequently. If you really chose the one that you were satisfied with, you wouldn't have remarried that many times," she claimed.
"That's different. I just wanted to retaliate against women. I wanted to torture every woman who loved and pursued vanity. I wanted to let them know that they couldn't have love and money at the same time," he defended.
Yasmine was very surprised. This was the first time that Sebastian had told her the words that he buried deep in his heart.
"Did Abigail leave because of this?" she asked.
"No," he denied.
Yasmine was surprised again. She thought that she would get scolded or ignored by him if she asked this question, she did not expect him to answer. Although he did not give elaborate further, he was at least willing to face this sensitive topic.
"Why, then?"
she asked cautiously. As much as she had warned herself to stop asking, she could not hold back her curiosity.
"Didn't you already know?"
Sebastian glanced at her indifferently.
"Mother said that she betrayed you, but I've always thought that it was not the truth. If she really loved you, she wouldn't have fallen for another person so quickly," she reasoned.
"That's not necessarily true. I initially thought there were other reasons, but in fact, that's the truth. She left with someone I considered as my brother, and hadn't come back for three years," he said.
