The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 242

Yasmine Taylor turned around grumpily and went back to her room. She was about to go out for breakfast, but now she had no appetite at all.

"Yasmine, you must really change your habit of running away from home,"

Sebastian Simons followed her and suggested from the bottom of his heart.

"I will be sent away by someone if I don't run away. Since I eventually have to leave anyway, why don't I choose my own way then?"

"Can the road you choose be the same as the one I chose? I chose the best path for you. What kind of place did you choose? A jungle?"

"I don't care where it is, it would be fine as long as I like it."

"Are you planning to settle down here then? Or are you going build a cottage here, and then raise the two children by growing and selling crops in the mountain?"

"Can't I? Do you have any problem with that?"

She went back to her room and changed into a pair of shoes. Then, she walked out again.

"Of course I have a problem with that. How could my children live such a hard life? What era is it now? No one would let their children grow up eating wild grass."

"It's vegetables, not grass!" "Grass or vegetables, I won't agree with it. I command you as the children's father and your husband, come home with me now!"

"I am now ordering you as your children's mother and a poor woman who has been betrayed by her husband, get lost! I am going to climb the mountain now. I don't have time for you!"

Yasmine bought a cup of soybean milk and a pancake on the side of the road. When she was about to eat it, Sebastian grabbed it over, "Is this edible? It's not hygienic. Let's go. I'll take you to the restaurant."

"Excuse me, don't you know how hard it is to survive in the world? I can only eat vegetables in the future. Why can't I eat this?"

"Did I agree to it?"

"I don't need your consent. I have the right to decide for myself!"

Yasmine snatched back her breakfast and bit it. She couldn't eat so well at home, but she ate happily on the side of the road. Sebastian was fuming.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked at the long stone ladder that seemed to lead to heaven, Yasmine stared blankly at it for a long time. She did not say a word, as if she was thinking about something. She was quiet.

After a while, she took a deep breath and took a step forward.

"What are you doing?"

She had only taken two steps when Sebastian grabbed hold of her arm. "Are you blind? Can't you tell?"

She rolled her eyes at him, shook off his hand, and continued to move forward.

He knew her stubborn temper. She would do whatever she wanted to do. Therefore, he didn't say anything else. He followed her step by

step, climbing on the ladder that others built for love, feeling their extraordinary love.

The mountain was very tall, and the ladder was too long. Although she had good physical strength, she was a pregnant woman after all. She was breathing heavily after walking for a short distance, but she really wanted to finish the journey. She didn't want to give up. Sebastian couldn't bear it anymore and quickly stepped forward to stop her. "I'll carry you."

"Can you carry me like this?"

His eyes fell on her bulging abdomen. He frowned and lifted her up in his arms. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"What are you doing?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and was a little surprised.

"Don't force yourself anymore. You obviously can't do it, but you're still so stubborn. Can't you back down at the right time? Must you play the role of a strong ninja turtle? Do you think that is more suitable for you?"

"I'm not tired. Put me down,"

Yasmine was not used to such special treatment, not to mention that they were not the only ones who were here.

"Don't move. We're halfway up the mountain. It's not a joke,"

Sebastian's intimidation shocked her. She stopped struggling and talking, allowing him to hold her firmly in his arms and climb to the top of the mountain step by step. His sweat fell on her face, and it was warm. She bit her lips and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Her soft movements caused ripples of emotion in his heart.

"Alright, you must be tired too. I'll walk on my own."

Seeing that he had started sweating a lot more, Yasmine really couldn't bear to see him like this, but Sebastian refused and said slowly, "Yasmine, although I can't personally build such a ladder for you, I will definitely carry you and reach the end together."

Her heart suddenly softened and she stopped asking him to put her down. Sebastian finally took her to the top of the mountain. Although he had rested for many times, she was still very excited when she reached the top of the mountain.

A gust of cold wind blew in their face, carrying a fresh smell of soil.

She had seen the diamond dust with him. Legend said that their love would never be separated again.

They had stepped over six thousand steps on the Stairs of Love, indicating that not only would their love be eternal, but it also would be longer than the road they were walking on.

Then, according to the legends, was it true that they would never be separated? Wouldn't their love last for a long time then? Perhaps they would only know the answer to this question when their hair grew grey.

"Yasmine, didn't you promise that you'll fulfill three of my wishes? Can I still use it now?"

"Yes."

She didn't look back but merely nodded her head blankly.

He hugged her from behind, "Then, my second wish is to ask for your forgiveness and that you won't be angry with me anymore."

"How about the first wish? Why did you skip to the second?"

"Isn't the first wish going to Vienna? You agreed," "Can I go back on my word?"

"No."

"If you want me to fulfill your second wish, then tell me what's going on between you and Abigail."

Sebastian became silent once again. For a moment, the atmosphere was heavy, and she could only hear the rustling sound of the wind. Yasmine turned her head gloomily, "Am I making things difficult for you? You have to understand that the more you keep it a secret, the more I want to know."

"Yasmine, I didn't want to tell you because there are some things that are really not suitable for you to know now. I want you to be happy, showering in the sunshine. I can bear all the dark and despicable matters myself. I know that you are worried about me, but I have told you that you don't have to do anything for me. I just need your understanding." He took her hand and put it on his chest. "Do you feel it? My heart is beating only for you."

Yasmine's eyes slowly turned red. "Your wish is limited. Are you sure your second wish is for me to forgive you?"

"Yes."

"Well, then I forgive you. From now on, you only have one wish left."

Looking back at the rough journey they had along the road of love, Yasmine chose to believe Sebastian. "I agree with your first wish too. I'll go home with you, and then go to Vienna."

"Yasmine, what should I say? No matter what I say, I can't express my gratitude to you."

"You don't have to thank me. I'm not doing it all for you,"

She lowered her head. "I only hope that after our babies are born, everything bad will come to an end."

She hoped for the nightmarish life to end as soon as possible. She wanted to live the happiest life with Sebastian.

"I promise you, the day won't be too far away,"

He kissed her lips. They were cold and icy. Perhaps they had been exposed to the cold air for too long.

"Are you feeling cold?"

He wanted to take his coat off and put it on her, but he was stopped by her. "I'm not feeling cold." Since her heart was warm now, she didn't feel cold.

"Sebastian, do you think that there's something in this world that you couldn't do or something that you are helpless in?"

"For a person, knowing what they can't do is of equal importance to know what they can do. I won't do what I can't do, but if I have a reason to do it, then I will still do it."

"What would our future look like? I've never thought about it. Actually, I don't dare to think about it. I'm afraid I would be disappointed and lose courage in life if I think about it."

"We can never predict what will happen in the future. When we were young, we were honest and frank, but we would change as we grow older. Life is often unpredictable."

Yasmine couldn't comprehend him. "What does life have to do with our future? Will our future be good just because we live well now? If we don't live well now, will we still have a good life in the future?"

"In our lives, sometimes those who love each other could never be together. This is a common thing. It is also common to confess your love for someone to another person instead. The plans you made for your life might not crystallize in the future too. This is also a common thing. So, that was why I said that the life of a person sometimes just ends without them even knowing."

That day, Yasmine and Sebastian sat on the top of the mountain for a long time. When they went down the mountain later, she had been thinking about Sebastian's words. "The life of a person sometimes just ends without them even knowing..."

Claudine Tucker was in a hopeless situation, but she was still struggling desperately. Seeing that his mother's situation was getting worse day by day, Scott Jules finally couldn't bear it anymore and he went to her residence with Lily Adams.

It had only been a few days since they last saw each other. His mother had lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Mom, just go to France. It doesn't matter if the company goes bankrupt and if you owe some money. You can leave here and leave the rest to me. I'll handle it for you."

Claudine sneered, "Even Titus Simons couldn't defeat me. How could his son bring me down? No way!"

Scott was a little disappointed. "Could you stop being stubborn? You're still stubborn even in such a desperate situation. I learned from Dad that the anticorruption bureau has now collected solid evidence of your bribery and tax evasion. It's only a matter of time before they arrest you."

"Let them do it. I won't give up until the last minute!"

"What other bargaining chips do you have now? I'm asking if you have any other bargaining chip to fight against Sebastian. What did you say last time? You said that if you could survive that obstacle,

you would settle down in France. Do you think you will be lucky enough to escape the second time? Will you give up only if you're dead?"
