The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 64

He knew that she was hiding from him. He understood the embarrassment and disappointment a woman would feel after her love was rejected by a man. Hence, he wondered how to ease the awkwardness between them.

After careful thought, he sent her a text message, "Do you have time tonight? Let's talk."

After waiting half an hour for her reply, he called her. The call went through, but no one answered it.

He called another four times but Yasmine did not pick up. She did not have the courage to answer it. She was afraid that Sebastian would say, "Since we can't get along with each other as we did in the past, let's split up."

She knew very well how short Sebastian's marriages were, and she was very clear that her marriage with Sebastian had lasted for three months now.

His words on their wedding day still rang in her ears. She did not expect that time would pass so fast. In the blink of an eye, it was time to end the marriage.

"I'll wait for you at 35 Degrees at six p.m. See you later."

After Sebastian sent the second message, Yasmine fell into deep confusion.

At five p.m., after his meeting had ended, Sebastian was getting ready to go to the restaurant called 35 degrees. Before leaving, he called Yasmine, but she still refused to answer.

Fynn pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Sebastian's serious expression, he asked playfully, "You're troubled by love, aren't you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Dare you say that you haven't fallen in love with your new wife? Do you know how long you've been married?" Fynn pointed at the calendar on his table. "It's been three months, and you've broken the record of your previous six marriages."

If Fynn had not reminded him, Sebastian would not realize that he had been with Yasmine for three months. At the same time, he suddenly realized why she did not answer his call.

Fie quickly sent a text message that said, "I have something to talk to you about, but it's not about a divorce."

Fie thought Yasmine would answer the phone after that text message, but she still did not answer when he called her again. In frustration, he threw his phone onto the table.

"There are only two possibilities when women don't answer the phone. One is that they like you too much, and the other is that they hate you too much."

Sebastian did not respond to Fynn.

"Perhaps she hates herself for liking you too much."

As Fynn continued to blabber, Sebastian said grumpily, "That sounds like Romeo and Juliet."

"Then tell me frankly, do you really have no affection for Yasmine at all?"

For the past ten years, Fynn had been working with Sebastian, and they never hid anything from each other.

"You know very well who's in my heart," Sebastian replied bluntly.

"Don't tell me there's nothing at all? Or maybe it's good to have some other feelings, such as family affection or friendship?"

"There are other feelings. But I can't explain clearly."

"What kind of feeling can't explained clearly?"

Sebastian sighed slightly and said, "A little less than love, a little more than friendship."

"That's family affection. There's nothing that you can't explain," Fynn said.

"Maybe..." Sebastian brushed it off.

Fie got up and looked at the watch on his wrist. "I have to go first. Aren't you getting off work?"

"I'm leaving right now."

Sebastian sat in a private room in 35 Degrees, waiting for Yasmine's arrival. Although he knew that Yasmine might not be in a good mood, he believed that she would come, as she was not a person who would run away from reality.

In fact, he knew her well. Yasmine did come. Although she looked well, she could not hide the sadness in her.

"Are you planning to keep avoiding me like this?" Sebastian looked her in the eye and asked helplessly.

"No, I just want to wait until I've completely adjusted my mood before I face you."

"I'm sorry if I made you upset. I'm not a good man, but Yasmine, you're a good woman. I don't deny that I have some feelings towards you, but it cannot be the reason I accept you. Because in my heart, Abigail has never left. It'll be unfair for you if I accepted you, and it'll also be a burden to me. It's impossible to have two people in my heart at the same time. I believe you won't want me to act as if I love you when I actually love someone else."

"Yes, I understand."

Yasmine suppressed the great sadness overwhelming her and forced a smile. She said, "Let's order something to eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay."

Sebastian knew that she was very upset, but he could not comfort her. If he comforted her, it would be very hypocritical.

He had ordered a lot of sumptuous dishes. Yasmine smiled bitterly with a fork in her hand. "I guess you really don't like me. You ordered so many things I don't fancy eating."
