The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 115

"The rain warmed my heart. Giving you my all for the rest of my life. The warmth of your gaze taught me to be strong. To never give up whenever I fall."

As the atmosphere in the hall had hit the climax, Yasmine Taylor's eyes landed on Abigail Tanner. She was like a quiet rose, blooming in the darkness, emitting her unique fragrance.

Her eyes were fixed on the man who was singing for her on the stage. The expression on her face was rather indifferent, and there seemed to be a gentle smile on her lips, but there was no affection of a woman towards a man in her eyes.

Yasmine smiled. Ironically, Ethan's love towards her was one-sided too.

The entire performance was very exhilarating. When the concert had finally come to an end, everyone was reluctant to leave. After Ethan Zordon's 90-degree bow, the performance was officially over.

Yasmine remained seated where she was and did not move. The people around her left the theater one after another. After almost everyone had left, she finally got up and walked towards the exit. About 200 meters away from the exit, she saw Abigail, who was waiting for Ethan to come out.

When she walked over, Abigail was a little surprised to see her, but she didn't show any intention to avoid her at all.

"Miss Taylor, what a coincidence." Abigail smiled at her.

"Yes, what a coincidence. Are you waiting for Ethan?"

She did not deny it and nodded. "Yes."

"What's your relationship with him?"

"We're just friends."

"Although I don't know what kind of role he plays beside you, but even a fool can tell that Ethan loves you very much. I often think to what extent should one love a woman until he can bear the name of a traitor for that woman?"

Abigail's face darkened. "We are just good friends."

"Oh, it seems like it's just one-sided love then. Do you know that he was in a fight today because of you?"

"A fight?"

Abigail raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that she didn't know about it.

"Yes, with Sebastian."

"Why?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Abigail's eyes once again.

"Why? What else could it be? He said that you were forced to leave Sebastian and that your family was destroyed because of the Simons family. Can you please tell me what's going on?"

Abigail's face suddenly turned pale. She said coldly, "Sorry, I don't feel like talking about it now. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't tell you." Her refusal was direct and ruthless. Yasmine took a deep breath and said, "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it. Just a word of advice, you should cherish the person who is always by your side. Not everyone can follow you around without a complaint or any regrets like Ethan does. Even Sebastian may not be able to that."

After that, she stepped on the damp ground and left.

"Give him back to me."

Suddenly, Abigail's cold voice came from behind. Yasmine was stunned for a moment, thinking that she might have heard it wrongly. "Sorry, what did you say?"

"I said, give Sebastian back to me."

"Why?"

"Based on our many years of relationship, and that we still love each other."

"You still love each other. Is this something that you have thought of yourself, or did Sebastian tell you that?"

"There's no need for him to tell me. I can see his through his heart at one glance."

"Oh, you're so full of yourself." Yasmine sneered and said eloquently, "Whether Sebastian still loves you or not, I can't give him back to you, because I was the one who saved him from the darkness and hopelessness."

"There was a reason for me to leave him."

"No matter what the reason was, you are not qualified to say this to me now. To really love somebody is not to escape from them when it's difficult, but to face it together. When you chose to let go of this relationship three years ago, you had already lost the opportunity to be accepted by him again."

Abigail raised her head and her eyes were filled with tears. "I will certainly make Sebastian come back to me. I will let you see who is really conceited and full of herself now."

"Bring it on then. In this lifetime, there hasn't been anything that I'm afraid of."

Yasmine raised her chin confidently and turned around to leave angrily.

Not long after she left, Ethan rushed out of the performance hall and happily waved to Abigail. "Abigail, have you been waiting for a long time?"

He took off the beige scarf that his fans had given to him and put it around Abigail's neck. He then grabbed her hand and rubbed it hard. "Hurry up and warm up, hurry up and warm up."

It seemed as if he was chanting some scriptures. Abigail suddenly broke into laughter and said, "Ethan, thank you."

These words came from the bottom of her heart. In the past three years, if it wasn't for his company, she really didn't know how she'd get through the hardship, although she was being selfish and had never acknowledged his feelings for her.

"Why did you cry just now? Which rascal dared to make our Abigail cry?"

Abigail sniffed and confessed, "Your cousin's current wife, Yasmine Taylor." When Ethan heard of Yasmine's name, his expression immediately froze. He let go of Abigail's hand and said softly, "Do you really have to take away the happiness that belongs to her?"

"It should have belonged to me."

"But you have to admit that Sebastian has fallen in love with her now."

"Does she know him better or do I know him more? When he is at most vulnerable state, her intervention will surely make him develop feelings for her."

"What about me? I've been by your side for so long, have you ever had any feelings for me? Even just a little bit."

Abigail was at a lost for words. It was not that she didn't have an answer, but they all knew it in their hearts.

Ethan couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He took her hand and said gloomily, "Let's go. Just pretend that I never asked."

Yasmine walked alone on the cold street, with her numb hands in the pockets of her coat. She lowered her head and stared at the ground. She continued to walk forward, one step after another. As she walked, she suddenly bumped into someone. She raised her head in panic and was about to apologize when she saw that it was Sebastian who was standing in front of her.

She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"The concert was wonderful, wasn't it?"

She was shocked again. "How did you know that I went to the concert?"

"I've installed a tracker on you."

"Tch."

Yasmine snorted angrily and continued to move forward. At this time, she was not in the mood to kid around with him.

"Are you looking for money? You're keeping your head down all the time."

"It's none of your business."

When she thought of what Abigail had said, that she and Sebastian still loves each other, she was extremely furious.

In front of her rival in love, she could pretend to be confident and acted as if she was not emotionally affected at all. But in front of Sebastian, she did not want to hide her true feelings.

"I guess that you should be hungry by now. Let's go get something warm for dinner. It's such a bliss to have dinner together on such a cold day.

Yasmine halted her steps and questioned him angrily, "How can you still talk about dinner like nothing had happened?"

"There's nothing going on anyway."

"Nothing at all? Abigail has just declared war against me!"

Sebastian was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. "She is declaring war against you, but not me. Why should I feel that something is wrong?"

"You are the reward of this war. Whoever wins will get you. Don't you worry that our relationship will come to an end because of her intervention?"

Sebastian put his arm around her shoulders and said, "To be honest, I'm not worried at all. So far, I have not come across anyone who can defeat our strong and unstoppable Miss Taylor."

"Stop it. Don't think that I don't know what's on your mind."

"What is it?"

"The reason why you are so indifferent about it is that it wouldn't make a huge difference for you no matter who wins. You probably think that it would be better for you to be with Abigail. And if it happens that you can't be with her, you still have me as a backup, isn't it? But for me, it's different. I don't have any backup. You, Sebastian Simons, are the only man for me."

Upon hearing her words, Sebastian grabbed her by the shoulders and sighed, "What should I do so that you will be convinced that you are definitely not a backup."

Yasmine thought for a moment and said, "If you dare to say it in front of Abigail, then I'll believe it."

Sure enough, Sebastian immediately fell silent.

She pulled his hand away and said, "Every time you want to prove something, you answer me with silence."

"Okay, I'll promise you."

Yasmine had only taken two steps forward when Sebastian's definite answer rang in her ears.

She looked back uncertainly. "For real?" "Yes."

"You won't regret it after tonight, right?"

"Do you want me to swear to the gods?"

She finally smiled and said, "Well, I'll believe you this time. When do you plan to say it?"

"Probably this weekend. I will be responsible for asking Abigail out, and you're responsible for inviting Ethan."

"Ethan too?"

Yasmine asked carefully, thinking that the two had just fought this afternoon. She was afraid that they would fight again when they see each other.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's make a pinky swear then."

Sebastian stared at her little finger and said, "Do you have to be so childish?"

"This is a promise. How could you say that it's childish? I'm doing this only because I'm afraid that you'll break your promise when the time comes." Yasmine complained while hooking her little finger on his.

After sealing the promise, Yasmine was immediately in a good mood. She held Sebastian's arm and said, "Let's go. Let's go get dinner."

Sebastian smiled and said, "You're such a realistic woman."

Yasmine began to look forward to the weekend. She was looking forward to Sebastian's promise. This was the only way that she would no longer have to worry about Abigail's existence. In the blink of an eye, her sister-in-law's birthday had approached.

Early in the morning, she picked up the new clothes that she had bought when she went shopping with Sebastian the day before and went to Tiffany Simons's room.

"Tiffany, have you gotten up? Can I come in?"

"Come in."

With Tiffany's permission, she went into the room and waved the present in her hand. "Happy Birthday."

Tiffany smiled and said, "Thank you."

"What's this?" She looked in confusion.

"It's a mysterious gift that can transform you into a princess."

Yasmine took out the outfit from the box and said, "Put them on."

"There's no need. There's no need to wear such a beautiful dress at home anyway."

"It's your birthday and it only happens once a year. No matter where you are, you still have to dress up beautifully."

Yasmine pushed her into the changing room. After she had changed her clothes, Yasmine did a beautiful hairstyle for her and in less than half an hour, Tiffany's appearance had completely changed. She was already a pretty girl, but after cleaning up a little, she was extraordinarily charming.

She was a little embarrassed. "Yasmine, isn't this a little inappropriate for my age?" "Not at all, you are already a big girl now. From now on, you have to change your childish habits, including your clothing styles or your makeup look. You need to behave yourself and get dressed in the perspective of a woman and not a girl."

As soon as Yasmine finished speaking, her cell phone rang. She glanced at the number and said with a smile, "Let's go. Let's go out for a walk and breathe in some fresh air."

Tiffany was led down the stairs by Yasmine. When she walked out of the living room's door, she was surprised to find that Fynn was outside by the door.

When she was about to run away, Yasmine stopped her and whispered to her ear, "Don't run away. A lady from a rich family should behave like one."

Fynn came over and handed over an exquisite gift. "Tiffany, happy birthday. Didn't you say that you wanted to go to Evergreen Park last time? I've taken a day off today. I'll accompany you."

Yasmine winked at her, hinting at her to be nice and accept his invitation.

Even they couldn't be lovers, they could still be friends.

Tiffany pondered for a moment and said to Fynn, "Let's talk for a bit."

Fynn followed after her to a quiet corner. Tiffany raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm afraid that I can't go out with you."

"Why?"

Fynn was very surprised.

"I know that you are surprised that I had actually refused your invitation. The reason that I have refused is not because that I don't want to be with you, it's because I'm now a grown up and I too have self-esteem like everyone else. So even if you don't like me, please don't treat like as a child anymore."

She paused for a moment and said, "I will never go to Evergreen Park again. Even if I have met someone who loves me in the future, I still won't go there. That place has become the past."

After saying that, Tiffany slowly turned around and gradually walked out of Fynn's sight.

Looking at her back, Fynn felt a myriad of emotions at that instant. It seemed that the little girl who had been chasing after him and called him Brother Fynn had really grown up.

When Yasmine saw her sister-in-law had returned by herself, she asked in surprise, "Where is Fynn?"

"I've already asked him to go back."

"Why?"

"I don't feel like going out."

Tears misted Tiffany's eyes, so she did not ask any more questions. "If you don't want to go out, then don't go out. I will stay here with you to watch some Kdrama later, okay?."

The next day was more important than Tiffany's birthday. It was the day on which Sebastian had promised Yasmine that he would clarify his feelings in front of Abigail.

The night before yesterday, she had already contacted Ethan. She did not say why she wanted to meet him. She only said that she wanted to have dinner together.

When Ethan bumped into Abigail at the entrance of the hotel, he seemed to have realize something, but Abigail obviously did not think of anything further.

At half past nine, Yasmine and Sebastian came to the hotel arm in arm. Before they entered the private room, Sebastian's footsteps suddenly halted which made Yasmine's heart pause for a second. "Are you regretting this?"

She had asked this question three times since she was so worried.

"No."

A trace of coldness flashed across Sebastian's deep eyes, and he took another step. As the door opened with a squeak, the four people's eyes immediately met with each other.

Yasmine was staring at Abigail alone. Outwardly, she looked like she was keeping her composure very well, but in fact, her heart had been racing incessantly ever since she had stepped foot into the hotel. After all, Abigail was not an ordinary woman.

At least, she was not ordinary in Sebastian's heart.

Abigail looked at her blankly and did not say anything. At this time, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and she knew that something bad was going to happen.

She could feel a sharp and stabbing pain. Perhaps, today was finally the right time for all the secrets that had been hidden to be rediscovered.
