The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 83

Yasmine's busying hand froze. She looked up at him in surprise and shook her head. "No... no... what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just remembered that there were a few times that you wanted to tell me something. But at that time, I was busy with work and didn't have time to listen. I suddenly thought about it, so I asked."

Sebastian paused for a moment and said, "Are you sure you don't have anything to say?"

Yasmine's heart raced. She looked at Sebastian's calm eyes and said with difficulty, "No, I don't."

He smiled again, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said gently, "It's fine if you don't, I'll leave now."

"Okay, bye."

When Sebastian walked out of the door, she sat on the sofa feebly, thinking of his words just now. She felt that something was going to happen.

Yasmine came to the school in a daze. She was absent- minded the whole day. During class, she made a few mistakes. When school was over, she walked out of the school side by side with Lily. Lily asked her, "Are you all right? Why do I feel like you've lost your soul?"

She nodded blankly and then shook her head. She did not know how to answer.

"Is there something wrong? I don't know what it means when you nod, and then shake your head." "Lily."

She suddenly stopped and said seriously, "I..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly turned her head and looked around.

"What's going on? Why so mysterious?"

"Why do I feel like someone is peeping at me?"

Lily smiled grumpily and said, "Are you out of your mind? You're not a superstar. Who cares about peeping at you?"

She took a deep breath, held her hand and said, "Let's talk at your house."

Yasmine came to Lily's house and repeated Sebastian's strange words in the morning, asking Lily to decipher his sentence for her. Lily shrugged and said, "You're too anxious. Maybe he was just casually asking."

"What if he was not just casually asking?"

"You're thinking that he knew something and deliberately wanted to test you, right?"

"That's what my intuition is telling me."

"How is that possible? If he had known something, he must have exploded a long time ago. How could he have talked to you so calmly? Don't you know him better than I do?"

"But, I just feel that something is wrong. Could it be..."

"Could it be what?"

"When I was writing in my diary last night, he suddenly came in. Later, in a panic, I forgot to lock the drawer before going to the bathroom to shower. Could it be, then, he saw what he shouldn't have seen?"

Lily pushed her angrily. "Why are you still writing in that thing? I've told you many times that you can't keep that thing; it would be a scourge if you kept it. Why won't you listen to me?"

Yasmine was anxious. "Has he really seen it? What should I do?"

"I don't think so. If he had seen it, he would have questioned you. He would have stayed quiet all night, and even in the morning. Still, he's not the kind of man who can endure it."

Although Lily tried hard to comfort her, Yasmine was still worried. She paced back and forth anxiously in the room. Lily became dizzy and protested loudly, "Can you stop walking back and forth? You're making me dizzy."

"No, I have to confess to him. Whether he read or not, I have to confess to him tonight." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She ran out, Lily hurriedly followed her out and dragged her downstairs. "You can't tell him!" she shouted angrily.

"Let me go. No one can stop me today. I'm about to fall apart. I must confess everything to him and beg for his forgiveness!"

"Are you crazy? If Sebastian knows what you have done, he won't forgive you. He'll definitely be torn apart. If you want to see him break down, then go ahead and tell him."

Yasmine ran forward resolutely, but Lily stopped her again. "I think you've really gone crazy. You have completely forgotten Richie Lind's existence. Even if Sebastian forgives you for marrying him to avenge for your mother, can he forgive you for having arranged an engagement with Leighton Lind ten years ago?"

"What's wrong with an engagement? We're not married."

"But, did you cancel your engagement? Your engagement hasn't been canceled until now. Do you think Sebastian can accept such a flawed love?"

"Whether he accepts it or not, I must say it out today. I must..."

Yasmine could not hold it in anymore and started crying. Lily's eyes turned red, too. She hugged her and said, "I'm not afraid that your relationship with Sebastian will end, giving Scott the opportunity to be with you. You know that I'm never such a person. I just feel sorry for you. It's not easy for you to get Sebastian's heart. If you lose it because of an impulsive decision, how can you survive that?"

"Lily, I regret it so much. I really regret it. Why did I have such a dirty thought and why did I want to take advantage of a man who had been hurt? Am I really a bad person? I'm definitely the worst woman in the world."

"It's not your fault. When you chose him, you didn't know what kind of hurt he had gone through. If you had known him for a long time just like how you knew Scott, you would not have chosen him. In fact, I know very well why you refused to accept Scott's feelings. Because you didn't want to hurt him and take advantage of him, so you refused to accept him. You didn't want to hurt your friends. How could you be considered a bad woman..."

Yasmine could not stop crying. She knelt on the ground and pulled at her hair. A long time ago, she felt that her life was tragic. But now, she felt that her life was ridiculous.

It was so ridiculous and pathetic that there was no need for her to live on.

After everything had quieten down, the man hiding in a dark corner left with the camera in his hand, satisfied.

In a cafe, Linda looked at the video edited by the man in front of her and was so excited that she almost laughed out loud. She handed over a stack of cash in an envelope and said with a smile,

"You've worked hard. I hope that we'll have the chance to work together again in future."

The man kept the money, got up and said, "Okay, let's keep in touch."

She repeatedly played the video that was able to push Yasmine to the edge of the cliff and said with hatred, "Let's see how you can protect yourself this time."

She had learned a lot from her mistake the last time. Instead of asking Yasmine out and telling her to back off, she sent the video to the Mansion House anonymously.

On Saturday noon, Tiffany returned home from school. Her mother asked her in surprise, "Why are you back at this time?"

She sat down on the sofa and said breathlessly, "I've been playing basketball all morning. I'm so tired."

"Don't you university students need to revise and study? You played basketball in the morning and then come home to rest in the afternoon?"

"In this era, no university student revises, not to mention a senior student. If a senior student is seen reading, he'll be called a nerd."

"I see that Yasmine is still reading books all day long. She hasn't become a nerd yet."

"That's because Yasmine needs to teach her students. I don't need to teach students."

"Oh, you don't have to teach students. You can just sit and eat at home all day after graduation, right?"

Tiffany glared at her mother impatiently and said, "Our family is so rich that I can even sit here and eat for my next three lives and I still can't finish up our wealth."

"You, if you're half as promising as Yasmine, I can die peacefully."

"Then I shouldn't be promising. Otherwise, my mother will die early."

Mila was annoyed by her daughter's words. She got up and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you. It's better to spend my time sleeping than talking to you."

"That's right. I think so, too. Mom, you should have thought like this a long time ago."

Tiffany was the only one left in the big living room. She was bored and was playing games on her game console when the guard outside the door came over and reported, "Miss, there's a package for Young Master. He needs to sign it. What to do?"

She looked up lazily and said, "Just sign it on his behalf and bring it in."

"Oh, okay."

The guard ran back, and after a while, he came back with a very tightly-packed package in his hand and respectfully handed it to Tiffany. "Miss, please take it."

"Put it away."

She did not even take a look at it but just gestured for him to put it on the table.

Two hours later, her game console ran out of battery. She stretched and sat up. Looking at the parcel on the table, she muttered in confusion, "Somebody sent something to my brother? Is it from outer space?"

"What is it? It seems to be quite light, it should not be anything important..."

She looked around and could not hold back her curiosity, so she took a pair of scissors and cut the package open.

There was only a CD in the middle of the box, and nothing else. Tiffany could not help but throw it aside and said, "It's just a CD, why must it be packed so mysteriously. I thought it was some treasure."

She got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat and went back to the living room. She was bored, so she casually put the CD into the DVD player and waited for it to be played. However, to her surprise, the CD actually... The apple in her mouth got stuck in her throat. Tiffany's eyes were fixed on the screen, and she was dumbfounded. After a long time, she finally reacted. She rushed to the TV and pulled out the CD.

Holding the CD in her hand, she could not describe how she was feeling. She was very confused, helpless, shocked, flustered, and at a loss.
