The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 71

Yasmine Taylor's eyelashes quivered slightly. "What about you? Do you feel sad that I'm leaving?"

"Would you stay if I said yes?"

"No, I won't."

Yasmine answered him firmly and said disappointedly, "Every time I wanted you to persuade me to stay, you didn't, so I gave up. You were right when you said, 'You don't have much selfesteem, so save it.' From now on, I have to retain my self-esteem and no longer expect something that doesn't belong to me."

Sebastian watched Yasmine walk out of his sight. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Yasmine did not return to the Taylor family. How could she go back? Now that they knew why she did not hesitate to get married on behalf of her sister. They did not like her before, but now they did not even want to see her.

She walked on the street in a daze. The city was very big, but there was no one place where she could rest comfortably. Scott Jules called her twice, but she hung up. She did not want to see anyone now, and also did not want to say anything. She just wanted to be alone to clear up her mind.

The sky was getting darker, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. It's very rare to see women who were homeless like her on the road. Occasionally, a few people passed by her and looked at her with extremely surprised eyes, as if they were looking at an animal that escaped from the zoo. In their eyes, there was always shelter provided for beautiful women. It would be hard to find even one beautiful woman among ten thousand homeless people. However, it was a tragedy that Yasmine became the one among the ten thousand.

In the end, she could not stand being stared at as if she was a national treasure. She went to Lily Adams's house. When Lily opened the door, she asked grumpily, "Do you take my place as an asylum?"

"What should I do? If you don't take me in, I have nowhere to go."

She snatched Yasmine's luggage and muttered as she walked inside, "I've never seen someone like you. You have your family and also your husband's family but you still want to squeeze into my place? You're provoking me, aren't you?"

"No matter how good the Simons family is, they're not as good as you. I can only breathe freely when I come to you."

"What's wrong again tonight? Let me guess."

Lily sat next to her, holding her chin with both hands, and let her imagination run wild. "Sebastian must be furious after hearing that you're going to study in Paris. He didn't let you go, but you insisted on going. Then an argument broke out. In the end, he pointed to the door and said, 'Okay, if you want to go, go now. Right away, I don't want to see you again!' Then your stubborn temper came up and you really left with your luggage..."

"Don't you think you're full of wild imagination?"

"I don't think so, but I think my imagination has always been quite close to the truth."

"Then I'm sorry to tell you that your guess is not correct at all."

Lily's interest was piqued. "What's the truth then? Tell me quickly."

"The truth is the opposite. Sebastian knows that I am going to further my studies, he is not unhappy, instead, he expressed his great support to me and hoped that I'll never come back."

"No way..."

Lily could not accept it. "Is this guy so coldblooded? You must be heartbroken."

"It doesn't matter. My heart is not complete from the start. It doesn't matter if it's broken or not."

Scott called again. She hung up resolutely, but was discovered by the attentive Lily. She curled her lips and said, "Why don't you answer? Just pretend that I'm not here."

"I didn't hang up because of you, but because of myself. I know very well that I don't have any feelings for him."

Lily laughed in a self-deprecating way. "It's really a drama. You're chasing after Sebastian, while Scott is chasing after you. But Sebastian is chasing after another woman. Love is really a joke. It's always hurting the people who yearn for it."

"Why didn't you say that you're chasing after Scott?" Yasmine retorted.

"Why drag me into this? My existence has never mattered to him." Lily replied simply.

"That's because you've never let him know that you're always behind him."

"So what if he knew? Would he turn back to look at me?"

"Whether he turns back or not is his business, but whether you say it or not is your business. If you don't want to leave regrets in your life, then tell him bravely. It doesn't matter even if you are rejected, at least, there's no regret."

"So, that's why you confessed to Sebastian?"

"Yes." Yasmin said.

Lily sighed and said, "It's a pity that I'm not as brave as you. In the past few years, I clearly saw how Scott cares about you. His deep affection for you has already erased all the courage in my bones."

Yasmine was sad. She knew very well how Lily loved Scott, and how Scott loved her. Similarly, she knew very well how she loved Sebastian.

Sebastian did not close his eyes for the whole night because of her departure. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see Yasmine's angry eyes, accusing him of his ruthlessness and his coldblooded behavior.

Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for her to leave.

During this period, Sebastian did not call her, nor did she call him. Her uncle had already gone to City W with her auntie. Richie Lind still called her occasionally to urge her. Her sister-in-law and mother-in-law had also asked her out several times, but she refused them all.

You would have an affection to a city because there were people in this city that you could not forget. Just like a famous writer once said, you fell in love with a city because the people you liked lived in it.

On the night before her departure, Yasmine walked around almost half of City B by herself. When she was exhausted, she sat in a small bubble tea shop. Unexpectedly, she received a call from Sebastian.

"Do you have time? Let's meet."

Sebastian's first sentence was to ask her this question.
