The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 8

Seeing the scrumptious breakfast laid neatly on the table, Yasmine Taylor felt a little sour in her heart.

She was never qualified to dine at the dining table in the Taylor's residence.

Since Yasmine was brought into the Taylor household at the age of nine, they just took her as a transparent ghost. They never asked her to have meals together, and she, in turn, would never join them out of dignity. After when she grew up and was diagnosed with serious gastritis many years later, she realized dignity was not something worth defending for. No one would ever feel sorry for her.

She kept everything that happened all to herself.

Mila Simons saw Yasmine frozen still and voiced her concern, "Why aren't you eating? Are you not feeling well?"

"No, no." Yasmine picked herself up and started digging in.

The food was warm and scrumptious, as warm as the family affection the Simons were giving her.

Mila then turned to Sebastian Simons and said, "You are going to visit Yasmine's family with her later. I have asked the butler to prepare something to bring over."

"I don't have the time." Sebastian refused coldly without thinking.

Titus Simons frowned. "You should not use being busy as an excuse and ignore such courtesy!"

"Dad, this is my seventh marriage. We do not have to abide by all the traditions as in the first marriage, do we? If she wants to visit her family, what's the big deal of going there herself?"

"You...." Titus put down his utensils and chided Sebastian angrily, "This is Yasmine's first marriage. How can you treat her like this?"

"Dad, it doesn't matter." Watching an argument sparkling, Yasmine immediately tried to ease the situation. "My family will not mind, so it's fine. I have to go to work too,"

"Work?" Mila asked curiously, "What do you do?" Yasmine was in a dilemma.

She had forgotten that there were many rules in a wealthy family that she was bound to, so Mila might not necessarily accept her daughter- in- law's occupation.

She should have discussed it with Sebastian first.

Since things were already unfolding right in front of her, all she could do was to answer truthfully, "I'm a high school teacher."
