The Seventh Miserable Bride

Sebastian Simons and his companion came out of the room early the next morning. Abigail Tanner had been waiting outside the door for a long time. She rushed to Sebastian, with the fire burning in her eyes, "You've gone too far!"

Sebastian grabbed her wrist, which was already hanging mid-air, and said coldly, "Just leave if you can't take it. If you can't endure even this, it'll be even more unbearable in the future."

"I know you're doing this to provoke me so that I would leave, but I won't. Let me tell you, even if you bring ten women back and sleep with them, I still wouldn't leave!" Abigail angrily said. Sebastian sneered sarcastically, "I know you won't leave. After all, nothing in this world could sway a shameless person. I don't think there's anything that I could do that would make you leave." The woman next to him burst into laughter and said coquettishly, "President Sebastian, you're so mean."

The two made their way downstairs, side by side. Looking at them leaving together, Abigail once again let out a hysterical scream. The beautiful blueprint she had planned in her heart began to break bit by bit. Lily Adams thought it was rather strange that she couldn't reach Yasmine Taylor through the phone for the past week. Lily felt extremely uneasy. Finally, on this day, she came to the Mansion House after After the guard reported her arrival, he led her into the living room. Madam Simons stood up from the couch and greeted her enthusiastically, "Miss Adams, please take a seat."

Lily sat down and the servant served a cup of hot tea on the table. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."

She looked around and asked cautiously, "Madam Simons, is Yasmine not home?"

Madam Simons looked a little troubled. After thinking for a while, she answered difficultly, "Yasmine left. She left the mansion and the family."

Lily's hand trembled, and the hot tea in her hand spilled on her thigh. She ignored the pain and asked in shock, "She's gone? Where did she go?"

"She divorced my son. I don't know where she is now." Madam Simons answered.

"Divorce..." Lily felt dizzy. "Madam Simons, are you kidding?"

"I'm not kidding."

Madam Simons' eyes were wet, her voice choked. "We've wronged her. She left, deep in sorrow."

"What happened?"

Lily felt as if her heart was pressed by something, and it felt incredibly uncomfortable and irritating.

"Here's the thing..."

Madam Simons began to tell her the whole story. After coming out of the Mansion House, Lily felt as if she had lost her soul. She couldn't believe that bi*ch Abigail was pregnant with Sebastian's child, and she also couldn't believe that Yasmine had divorced Sebastian.

She made her way home distractedly, and she couldn't help crying out loud the moment she reached home. Poor Yasmine, how desperate and sad she must have been when she left. Why? Why hadn't she told her anything about this? It had been some time since it happened, but she just kept everything herself and silently endured it...

Thinking of the desperate days before Yasmine left, Lily couldn't stop crying. Even though she was her best friend, she didn't know that Yasmine had been through so much. She felt extremely guilty. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. Her parents were far away abroad, and the only good friend she had was Yasmine. Now she didn't even know where she was. She suddenly felt lonely.

It felt as if her heart had been hollowed out.

When Scott Jules got home, he happened to see Lily sobbing sorrowfully. He walked over in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lily raised her face that was stained by tears and looked at him in silence. She couldn't say a word.

"What happened?"

Scott was anxious. He frowned, seemingly to have guessed something. "Did my mother come to trouble you again?"

Lily sniffed and shook her head. "No."

"Then what happened?" "Yasmine... Yasmine left Sebastian. I don't know where she went." she said.

Scott's expression stiffened. Even though he had been married to Lily for months, his heart still trembled slightly when he heard Yasmine's name.

"Abigail is pregnant with Sebastian's child. Yasmine couldn't take it anymore and left in despair..."

Lily burst into tears again.

Scott suddenly stood up, turned around and left the house, rushing into the vast night.

Lily was stunned for a moment, and then she started chasing after him.

She hailed a taxi and followed closely behind Scott's car. The car stopped at the Mansion House, and Lily's heart inexplicably ached.

Scott told the guard, "Ask Sebastian to come out immediately."

A moment later, Sebastian came out. Under the moonlight, his face was as sharp and cold as a knife, making people shiver merely at the sight of him.

"What's the matter?"

With a bang, Scott punched Sebastian violently without saying a word.

"I've told you before that you should let Yasmine go as soon as possible if you can't make her happy. However, you still refused to let her go. Now, you've tortured her and let her leave in despair. Are you still a man?!"

"Bang!" With another punch, Sebastian was knocked to the ground. Several guards rushed over, but he waved his hand and dismissed them. "This is between us."

Sebastian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and punched him back with all his strength. He said frostily, "Do you still bear feelings for Yasmine until now? What kind of man are you then? You're a married man, and yet you're still thinking about another woman."

Lily's heart ached again. She would never see Scott behave impulsively at home. Only when he was facing matters pertaining to Yasmine that she could see his true self.

The two men fought against each other until they both were injured. They only stopped when Titus Simons, who had coincidentally gotten home, came to break them apart.

Scott went home in a daze with Lily trailing behind him. She remained silent as she quietly cleaned the wound on his face with some medicine when they got home.

She went to the room to sleep after cleaning up the wound, while Scott sat in the living room for a long time. It was already late in the night when he returned to the bedroom. Lily's eyes were closed. However, she wasn't asleep. She was just pretending to be asleep.

At midnight, Scott suddenly shouted Yasmine's name and woke up from his dream. He sat up quickly, forehead full of cold sweat. He dreamed that Yasmine was in danger and his heart almost stopped beating He switched on the bedside lamp and was ready to go out to have a smoke. He was surprised to find that Lily was looking at him with her eyes open.

"Did I wake you up?"

He asked guiltily.

Lily sat up expressionlessly and said faintly, "No." "Then why are you awake?" he said.

"I haven't slept at all."

A trace of guilt flashed across Scott's eyes. "Would you like some water? I'll get you a glass."

"No." Lily endured the bitterness in her heart and asked slowly, "You dreamed of Yasmine, didn't you?"

Scott didn't say anything. She added, "Actually, this isn't the first time I've heard you calling her name. It's been several times. I just didn't say it."

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She walked to him, took off the ring on her hand, and put it in his hand. "I know that you don't have any feelings for me. I also know that you haven't forgotten Yasmine. I thought that since we were married, we could just lie to ourselves and live our lives at it is, pretending that everything is fine. But now it seems that we can't hold up the pretense anymore. There's no point in being worried and not doing anything about it. You'd better go and find Yasmine. She needs someone to comfort her. Maybe your appearance could touch her heart and she would eventually accept you. She's my good friend so I won't hold a grudge against the two of you. I promise you that I will give you two my blessings. I wish for nothing but happiness for the two of you." After that, she turned around and went out.

Scott was stunned for a long time before finally getting up to run after her. On the road not far away from home, he grabbed Lily, who was crying with her head lowered. "What's wrong with you? Why did you say all those nonsense?"

Lily broke free from his arms and said in a heavy voice, "I'm just saying what's in your heart. They aren't nonsense."

"I'm already married to you. You're legally my wife, so I have to take responsibility for you!" he said.

"But I don't need a husband who sleeps beside me but calls the name of another woman!"

Lily glared at him and continued to walk forward. This was the first time Scott had seen her stubbornness. In desperation, he shouted, "Do you want to go back by yourself or have me carry you back?" Lily ignored him. He then pulled her up and carried her on his shoulder. He then turned around and walked back. Lily shouted in horror, "Let me go! Let me go!"

She struggled with all her strength and her body swayed on Scott's shoulder.

"Do you think I'm going to allow you to wander around in the middle of the night? If you don't want others to laugh at you, then just shut up."

"OW..."

Just as Scott finished speaking, Lily bit him hard on his shoulder. He immediately put her down, his shoulder sore. Lily rushed to the side of the road and stretched her hand out to stop a taxi. There was no other way. Scott rushed in front of her, grabbed the back of her head, and kissed her on the lips wildly. Lily's eyes widened in disbelief. This was the first time that Scott had kissed her so fiercely. She could hardly breathe.

After the initial panic, Lily gradually became intoxicated in the kiss. She couldn't help but grab Scott's neck and respond to his kiss. Scott was confused. He didn't know why he had the urge to kiss Lily at that moment. He only knew that he didn't want her to leave just like that...

The passionate and lingering kiss never stopped until they reached the apartment. In fact, they hadn't touched each other again since the wedding night.

After a long time, the blanket was still rising and the bed was still shaking. Lily's voice, however, had softened because the man was kissing her, grabbing her hand and putting it on his strong torso..."

At this moment, Lily felt that she and Scott's hearts were connected. It was also the first time that she felt that their relationship was getting better.

Under the sky, some people's hearts got closer, while some got further away.

Sebastian sat in his study with a bottle of red wine on his desk. He was holding a photo of Yasmine and him in his hand. It was their first and last photo together.

The faint smile of the beauty in that photo poured into his heart like a clear spring. Her person may have left, but his memory of her had always been in his heart.

He poured a glass of red wine and drank it gloomily. He put down the only photo in his hand and pulled the drawer open. There was a pile of photos in the drawer which he had collected over the days, all of which were of Yasmine.

It was all her personal photos, most of which were found in her secret room. There were several photos of her when she was in college. She was so young and pretty that one could not take their eyes away from her. Looking at Yasmine's cheery face, Sebastian's heart ached terribly. He had not seen this smile on her face ever since she got married to him. Was his love a kind of happiness or harm to her?
