"Did you cry?"
He saw the trace of her tears at the corner of her eyes and held her shoulders in surprise. "What happened?"
Yasmine stared at him in a daze. She really wanted to say, "It's you. No one can make me this sad except you," but she could not say it. She just moved his hand away gently and said tiredly, "I'm tired. I don't want to say anything now."
Later, Sebastian went into the bathroom to take a shower and found that Yasmine had forgotten to put away her dirty clothes on the floor. Only then did he realize that she might have been bullied. He stared blankly at the clothes stained with tomato sauce in his hand. He suddenly stood up and came to her room door. He knocked on the door. Yasmine opened it slightly and asked through the crack, "What's wrong?"
"What happened to your clothes?"
Yasmine was silent for a moment and said honestly, "It's your ex-wife's masterpiece."
"Did Raelene mess with you again?"
"What do you think?"
She closed the door and did not want to talk about this topic with him anymore. Sebastian held her clothes in his hand and slowly crumpled them into a ball. The next day was another thrilling day. First of all, the students' parents came to the school to argue. As the principal, Scott naturally tried his best to appease them even though it was not easy. Then, Raelene Ferguson, the unexpected guest, came to the office again. She said that she wanted to see Yasmine. Yasmine was in class, so Lily Adams rushed over and told her to hide. Yasmine frowned and resolutely went to the office.
"What do you want again?"
Yasmine asked with a sullen face.
Raelene pointed outside and said, "Let's talk outside."
Yasmine felt a little relieved upon hearing that she wanted to talk elsewhere. At least this woman did not come to create more trouble today.
The two of them came to the school field. When there was no one around, Raelene said, "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I apologize to you."
Yasmine's eyes widened, thinking that she had heard her wrongly.
"If you didn't hear me clearly, I can say it again. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I apologize to you."
Yasmine found it unbelievable. After just one night, this woman had changed completely.
"Well, are you done? If you are, I'll leave."
"Wait a minute."
Raelene stopped her. "Do you forgive me?"
"As long as you don't cause any more trouble for me, I don't care about forgiving you or not."
"No, you have to give me a clear answer."
Yasmine sneered, "What if I don't forgive you?"
"Then I'll come to school every day to see you until you forgive me."
What a lunatic. She changed every day. Yasmine waved her hand impatiently and said, "Fine, I forgive you. Please don't show up in front of me again in the future."
"I haven't finished."
Raelene stepped forward to stop Yasmine, as she was about to leave. Raelene handed over her mobile phone and said, "Call Sebastian and tell him that you've forgiven me."
Yasmine was stunned. "What does this have to do with him?"
"Stop pretending. If you hadn't gone back and told him what happened, he wouldn't have threatened me with anger that he would ruin my father's company if I didn't apologize!"
It was only then that Yasmine finally understood the reason why Raelene's attitude had changed. It turned out that Sebastian had stood up for her.
She took over her mobile phone and dialed Sebastian's number. Not long later, the call was connected. "Hello?"
"I have forgiven her,"
Yasmin said plainly. After a brief silence, Sebastian said, "If something like this happens again in the future, inform me immediately. Don't cry secretly like a fool."
Since Raelene was there, it was inconvenient for her to say anything else. So she softly agreed, "Okay, I'll hang up."
"Can I leave now?"
Yasmine asked after she hung up the phone.
"Don't think that you won. If it wasn't for my family's business, I would never yield to a woman like you."
Yasmine replied boldly, "If it wasn't for not wanting to see you ever again, I would never accept your hypocritical apology."
"You like Sebastian, don't you?"
Raelene was neither anxious nor annoyed. She suddenly asked about the secret in Yasmine's heart.
"I don't think it's necessary for me to report my private life to you."
