Yasmine Taylor stared at Sebastian Simons, holding her breath while waiting for his answer. Sebastian looked at her for a few seconds, and then slowly looked away.
She could not help but laugh at herself. She was on her journey to a divorce. What was she looking forward to? Why was she still living in a dream like a little girl when she was already at this age?
While they were having many thoughts on their minds, they arrived at the Bureau of Civil Affairs. Sebastian sat still in the car, while Yasmine opened the door first and walked down.
"Aren't you getting off?"
She knocked on the window to remind him.
Sebastian got out of the car and said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to bring my ID card."
"What do you mean?"
Yasmine frowned and said, "All right, go back and get it. I'll wait for you here."
"I have a meeting to attend later. I might not make it back in time. Well, let's come again tomorrow."
"No, I have to do it today."
Yasmine stretched out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
"What?"
"Your wallet." She knew that his ID card was in the wallet.
Sebastian took out his wallet calmly from his suit and handed it to her.
Yasmine tried looking for his ID card, but could not find it. "Don't you usually keep it in your wallet? Why didn't you put it in your wallet today?"
"Fynn took it to make a photocopy of it this morning. He must have forgotten to give it back to

me.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Then call him and ask him to send it to you. Tomorrow is a public holiday. There won't be anyone to do it for us!"
"If there's no one to do it, then let's not do it."
Yasmine was stunned and immediately warned herself not to think too much. "How can we not do it? I'll be in Paris and it's impossible that I'll come back after two years."
"Then we'll wait until you come back."
"What if I don't come back?"
Sebastian shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come back. If we were to be apart for a long period of time, the marriage will be automatically annulled."
"Why must it be so troublesome? I don't want to hold you up."
"You don't want to hold me up, or are you afraid of me holding you up?"
"What's the difference? Whether it's holding you up or holding me up, we must break the relationship."
"Let's just maintain our relationship for the time being for the sake of my parents. They'll know sooner or later once we are divorced."
He pointed at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau and said,"There's no one who doesn't know me in there as I've been here for more than ten times. More importantly, one of them is my father's friend. As soon as we are divorced, he has to inform my father immediately. Do you think you can still go to Paris if my father hears the news?"
Yasmine was silent. She was a little hesitant because of his words, and at the same time, she was also disappointed. She thought that he delayed the divorce again and again because he was a little reluctant to let her go. It turned out that he was just trying to hide it from others. He was afraid that his parents would not let him go once they out about the divorce.
"Well, it's fine then."
She took a deep breath, turned around and got into the car.
On the way back, both of them remained silent and were deep in thought. While Yasmine was disappointed with Sebastian's heartless attitude towards her, she had forgotten an important point, Sebastian was never one who was afraid of his parents.
In each one of his marriages, his parents were full of expectations when they got married. However when it came to divorce, no matter how hard they tried to stop it, he would still do it without any hesitation or delay.
As for Yasmine, the reason why he delayed so much was that he had been struggling and hesitating in his heart. He clearly loved Abigail, but whenever he imagined Yasmine leaving, he felt sad.
"Are you going back to the company directly? If you are, just drop me at that intersection. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some food."
"The servants at home can do these things. You don't have to do them."
"It doesn't matter. I want to make dinner for everyone before I leave."
Sebastian's face darkened. "They may not agree for you to go so far away."
"Then it's up to you to think of a way for me. I believe you'll persuade them." Yasmine paused for a moment before she continued, "Unless, you don't want me to leave."
Sebastian stopped the car at the intersection. Yasmine got out of the car and turned around to remind him, "Come back early tonight and have a taste of my cooking skills. Otherwise, you won't have a chance in the future."
After that, she left without looking back. There was a crossroad in front of her. When the light turned red, she stood in the middle of the road, and her strong stubborn figure left a deep impression on Sebastian.
