"Beep!" He hung up the phone.
"I thought you said that there was no misunderstanding at all, but you are being jealous now."
"I wanted to hold it in, but I just couldn't bear it anymore. Also, you are not allowed to remember what he had said to you!"
"What did he say?"
"That he really liked you."
Yasmine Taylor gasped. "You heard that?"
"How can I not hear it when I'm so close to you? This guy is too much. He dared to flirt with you even when I was just beside you. If I'm not here, who knows what will happen? No, I can't let this happen, you should just quit your job."
"If I quit my job, are you going to support me financially, then?"
Sebastian Simons glared at her and asked, "Do you think that I can't afford to support you?"
"Of course you can, but I don't want to live that kind of life."
"Then I will help you transfer to another school, as long as you don't stay in the same school as him."
"But I like my current school. I have already built up a good relationship with the students here."
"You're deliberately going against me, aren't you?" "Don't be jealous. It's impossible between Scott and I. It's been three years, but there were no sparks between us at all. Now, it's even more impossible for us to get any of it."
The car had finally arrived at the entrance of the villa. Yasmine got out of the car and held onto Sebastian's arm as they walked into the house.
"I will keep an eye on that guy at all times. If he does anything inappropriate to you, then you must immediately transfer to another school and I will not let that kid go."
"Okay, I got it."
Yasmine sat him on the sofa and ran into the bathroom. After a while, she came out with a large bucket of hot water in her hands.
"What is this for?"
Sebastian asked in confusion.
"Soaking feet."
"Are you going to wash my feet for me?"
Sebastian was flattered.
"Who's going to wash your feet? Let's wash up together."
She took off her shoes and her socks, and then pointed at his feet and said, "Come in when you are ready."
"Pfft." Sebastian laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Don't you think your words are a little too flirtatious?" "What?" Yasmine thought for a moment and asked, Come in when you are ready?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Yes."
Her face instantly turned red. She wouldn't have even realized it if he hadn't pointed it out. But, what he said was kind of true because it was indeed quite provocative.
"Stop it. Only those who are unscrupulous will interpret it that way. Are you going to soak your feet or not? I even sprinkled some essential oil in the water which can help you relieve fatigue."
As soon as Yasmine finished speaking, Sebastian took off his shoes. When he was about to put his feet down into the water, he teased Yasmine again, "Are you sure that you have only sprinkled essential oil in the water and not some aphrodisiac so that you can do something to me?"
Yasmine pushed him away in horror and said, "What are you talking about? Is this what a man should say?'
Sebastian laughed out loud, grabbed her shoulder, and put his feet into the water.
In a decent sized bucket, the four feet were tightly pressed against each other. Sebastian then said in a voice full of emotion, "Actually, it feels nice with just the two of us living together."
"Do you really think so? Don't you think that it felt like something is missing?"
In fact, Yasmine wanted to say that it was too quiet at home and it wouldn't be this dull if they had lived with his parents. "Not at all, I feel very happy now."
"What's there to be happy about?"
Yasmine rolled her eyes at him.
"Being able to soak my feet with the person I love in the cold winter is something to be happy about for

me.
She hesitated for a moment. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she mustered her courage and said, "Are you really not going to forgive your parents at all?"
Sebastian's body which was right next to her body, suddenly stiffened, and his eyes dimmed.
"It's not that I don't want to forgive them, but I just can't accept the things that they have done."
"Why can't you accept it? We all make mistakes. So as long as they have realized that they have done something wrong, then why must you be so rigid?"
"That's because the current situation is still not the worst case. Just imagine: if I hadn't met you, what would my life look like? I could have said goodbye to Abigail confidently, but what about now? The Simons family owes her so much that I will never be able to pay off in my lifetime. And because of that, I can never speak confidently in front of her anymore."
"So you won't refuse any of her requests? Even if she says that she wants to be with you?"
"Of course not. Even though I owe her a lot, I still have to be responsible for you. I will not let down the promise that I made at your mother's grave just because I want to atone for the sins that my parents have committed."
"Then is it really not possible for you to forgive your parents? Are you really not going back to that house anymore?"
Sebastian sighed sadly and told her the reason why he still couldn't get over it.
"Since I was a child, my parents have always taught me to be a righteous and generous person. I was taught to not take revenge on those who had harmed me. They also taught me that I must not think of harming others and to keep a good conscience at all times. Under such guidance, I grew up day by day and regarded my parents as the people that I adore the most. I am a person who is terrible at expressing my feelings, but I love them very much and I believe that they knew that I love them too. But what happened in the end? I just couldn't accept it. I couldn't accept that my parents who taught me to be an upright individual turned out to be such cruel people to the extent of taking someone else's lives. The huge disappointment in my heart is not just something that can be explained through mere words and I was extremely disappointed in them."
Sebastian was choking up as he spoke. Yasmine recalled that day again. When he locked his sister up in the study room, she could instantly feel the pain that he had felt in his heart.
Even if he was sad and disappointed, he didn't want his sister to go through what he was going through.
This was what he did as a brother, who had expended so much care and thought just to protect his sister.
"Don't worry about it. All these things will be a past memory. As time goes by, we will not even remember the things that had once pained us so much."
Yasmine stretched out her arms and hugged Sebastian tightly.
The reason why people had two arms was to hug their loved ones. At this moment, there were no words that could be more comforting than this warm hug to soothe his wounded heart.
