The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 33

One day passed in the blink of an eye. The sky was red at sunset. Scott Jules leaned against the car, waiting for Yasmine Taylor to come out of the office.

It had been half an hour since school was over, but Yasmine still had not left as she wanted to go out only after all the students left. Things are no longer the same now. She was already a married woman, and her every move could ruin her reputation.

Scott was an extremely patient man. He understood her concerns, so he did not go in to rush her. When she finally came out, he immediately teased, "I guess you dare not stand me up because I'm willing to wait for you forever."

Yasmine smiled euphemistically and got into his car.

Scott then got in the car after her. Seeing that she was absent- minded, he reached out his hand, wanting to help her fasten her seat belt, but she stopped him and said, "Thank you, but, I can do it by myself."

He was disappointed for a moment, but soon composed himself and asked, "Where are we going to eat?"

"It's up to you. Today, I'm the host and you're the guest," she replied.

"What a rare opportunity. I must consider properly," he said. Scott frowned, looking very serious.

"Let's go to Radley Restaurant," he suggested.

Yasmine looked at him in surprise and said softly, "That's the place that I like..."

"It doesn't matter. I like it, too," he confirmed.

She didn't say anything after that, but she knew in her heart that he liked it only because it was what she liked.

Radley Restaurant was located on the quiet West Road. The lights, tableware, tables and chairs in the restaurant were all blue, making people feel as though they were at the beach of the Aegean Sea. With the romantic and beautiful interior design, and the plethora of Western food, the restaurant gave out a Mediterranean vibe.

When the two of them found a table near the window and sat down, a waiter brought them the menu. Yasmine handed it to Scott and ordered, "Take a look."

Scott did not refuse. He took it and looked through it carefully. Yasmine thought in her heart, "He'd better not order anything that I like to eat this time."

Eventually, he ordered what she liked. She could not help but asked quizzically, "How did you know?"

"Know what?" Scott looked up.

"Things that I like," she explained.

"What do you think?" he asked, smiling.

"Did Lily tell you?" she questioned.

"Yes," he admitted. Yasmine touched her forehead and sighed. She should have known. No one dared to betray her except Lily Adams, although Lily did not do it willingly.

She shifted her gaze to look outside the window. Inadvertently, she saw a familiar- looking car. Her heart thumped and she asked the man in front of her uncertainly, "Is that a Rolls-Royce?"

Scott followed her line of sight and answered with certainty, "Yes."

Her heart trembled again. "It can't be such a coincidence that Sebastian is nearby...

No, no, absolutely not. He's not the only one in the world who drives a Rolls- Royce," she thought to herself.

Yasmine denied it again and again in her mind but to no avail. First, she saw the familiar-looking car, then a familiar figure. Sebastian was walking toward the restaurant with a man. What's more, they were walking in her direction.

There was no time to hide, so she lowered her head in panic and prayed that he would not see her. But it was too late, Sebastian had already seen her from the moment he entered the door.

Even with her head lowered, she could feel him approaching. Yasmine felt like dying on the spot as she knew better than anyone how angry Sebastian would be when he saw her with Scott.

She was lucky that when she was caught sleeping in his room last night, he did not pursue the matter further. However, it would not be the case every single time. Yasmine never regarded herself as a lucky person.

Most of the time, she was unlucky. Just like today, this very moment.

A pair of shiny leather shoes stopped beside her and Scott. Yasmine knew that she could not avoid what was coming. She slowly raised her head and looked into Sebastian's cold eyes. She wanted to say something, but her throat was so dry that she could not speak. Moreover, at this time, any words were a kind of sophistry.

She was mentally prepared for whatever was to come. Time went by so slowly, one minute felt like a year. Sebastian paused for a few seconds. Just as she thought he would be furious, he walked away silently without saying a word.

His unusual behavior made Yasmine extremely uneasy. Although she had just married this man, she had a good understanding of his temperament. He was not the kind of person who could accept people lying to him.

Sebastian sat in the row behind her and turned around stiffly. As they exchanged glances, Yasmine felt indescribably uncomfortable. She was experiencing mixed emotions.

Although he did not say anything, the look in his eyes was more intimidating than anger. Yasmine had no mood to stay there for dinner. She apologized and said to Scott, "Shall we go somewhere else?"

Scott nodded thoughtfully. "Okay."

Of course, he also saw Sebastian. Even if she had not requested to leave, he would still make the same proposal, considering her situation.

After leaving Radley Restaurant, she had a headache while standing on the foggy street. Scott drove the car over, and once she got into the car, he asked, "Do you want to go home? I'll send you home."

"But we haven't eaten," she reminded.

"It doesn't matter. I reckon you're not in the mood to eat with me now. Maybe next time."
