Chapter 68
"Did you cry?"
He saw the trace of her tears at the corner of her eyes and held her shoulders in surprise. "What
happened?"
Yasmine stared at him in a daze. She really wanted to say, "It''s you. No one can make me this sad
except you," but she could not say it. She just moved his hand away gently and said tiredly, "I''m
tired. I don''t want to say anything now."
Later, Sebastian went into the bathroom to take a shower and found that Yasmine had forgotten to
put away her dirty clothes on the floor. Only then did he realize that she might have been bullied. He
stared nkly at the clothes stained with tomato sauce in his hand. He suddenly stood up and
came to her room door. He knocked on the door. Yasmine opened it slightly and asked through the
crack, "What''s wrong?"
"What happened to your clothes?"
Yasmine was silent for a moment and said honestly, "It''s your ex-wife''s masterpiece."
"Did Raelene mess with you again?"
"What do you think?"
She closed the door and did not want to talk about this topic with him anymore. Sebastian held her
clothes in his hand and slowly crumpled them into a ball. The next day was another thrilling day.
First of all, the students'' parents came to the school to argue. As the principal, Scott naturally tried
his best to appease them even though it was not easy. Then, Raelene Ferguson, the unexpected
guest, came to the office again. She said that she wanted to see Yasmine. Yasmine was in ss, so
Lily Adams rushed over and told her to hide. Yasmine frowned and resolutely went to the office.
"What do you want again?"
Yasmine asked with a sullen face.
Raelene pointed outside and said, "Let''s talk outside."
Yasmine felt a little relieved upon hearing that she wanted to talk elsewhere. At least this woman did
note to create more trouble today.
The two of them came to the school field. When there was no one around, Raelene said, "I''m sorry
about what happened yesterday. I apologize to you."
Yasmine''s eyes widened, thinking that she had heard her wrongly.
"If you didn''t hear me clearly, I can say it again. I''m sorry about what happened yesterday. I
apologize to you."
Yasmine found it unbelievable. After just one night, this woman had changedpletely.
"Well, are you done? If you are, I''ll leave."
"Wait a minute."
Raelene stopped her. "Do you forgive me?"
"As long as you don''t cause any more trouble for me, I don''t care about forgiving you or not."
"No, you have to give me a clear answer."
Yasmine sneered, "What if I don''t forgive you?"
"Then I''lle to school every day to see you until you forgive me."
What a lunatic. She changed every day. Yasmine waved her hand impatiently and said, "Fine, I
forgive you. Please don''t show up in front of me again in the future."
"I haven''t finished."
Raelene stepped forward to stop Yasmine, as she was about to leave. Raelene handed over her
mobile phone and said, "Call Sebastian and tell him that you''ve forgiven me."
Yasmine was stunned. "What does this have to do with him?"
"Stop pretending. If you hadn''t gone back and told him what happened, he wouldn''t have threatened
me with anger that he would ruin my father''spany if I didn''t apologize!"
It was only then that Yasmine finally understood the reason why Raelene''s attitude had changed. It
turned out that Sebastian had stood up for her.
She took over her mobile phone and dialed Sebastian''s number. Not longter, the call was
connected. "Hello?"
"I have forgiven her,"
Yasmin said inly. After a brief silence, Sebastian said, "If something like this happens again in the
future, inform me immediately. Don''t cry secretly like a fool."
Since Raelene was there, it was inconvenient for her to say anything else. So she softly agreed,
"Okay, I''ll hang up."
"Can I leave now?"
Yasmine asked after she hung up the phone.
"Don''t think that you won. If it wasn''t for my family''s business, I would never yield to a woman like
you."

Yasmine replied boldly, "If it wasn''t for not wanting to see you ever again, I would never ept your
hypocritical apology."
"You like Sebastian, don''t you?"
Raelene was neither anxious nor annoyed. She suddenly asked about the secret in Yasmine''s
heart.
"I don''t think it''s necessary for me to report my private life to you."
"I''m not interested in your private life at all. I just want to kindly remind you that if you like him, then
you''d better give up as early as possible. Because Sebastian will never like any other woman
except Abigail Tanner. Do you know who she is? She''s the woman that Sebastian misses day and
night. I was pped by him because I touched that woman''s picture album. Until now, I can''t forget
his sad eyes when he looked at the album and his disgusted eyes when he looked at me."
"You know about his past quite well."
Yasmine pretended to be calm and smiled. "But I don''t mind. He hasn''t forgotten his first love, which
shows that he''s a person who is true to his feelings. He promised me that he would forget the past
and start all over again."
"Ha-ha-ha-"
Raelene gave a mockingugh and said, "Forget about the past and start all over again? Yasmine
Taylor, are you really that naive? He has not forgotten her for three years and now he can because
of your appearance? You really overestimated your ability. I sincerely advise you to know where you
stand. Otherwise, one day you will cry buckets of tears."
The mockingughter gradually faded away. Yasmine stood there for a long time. With a gust of
wind, her sadness was blown away.
After work in the afternoon, Sebastian did not call her beforeing to the school to pick her up. In
the past two days, rumors about her were widely spread in the school. Most of them were the same
version: her handsome husband had a new lover and was about to abandon her. In a fit of anger,
she pped the new lover. The new lover could not take it anymore, so she came to the school to
fight back. That was why the horrible scene of the new lover pouring tomato sauce on her
happened.
When Lily saw Sebastian, she was quite unhappy. She left without greeting him.
Yasmine walked over and asked casually, "Why are you here?"
"To pick you up from work and treat you to dinner."
"Let''s just go home and eat."
She was not in the mood to go out with him for dinner, so she did not seem very happy with his
suggestion.
"It''s boring to go home and eat. Today I''ll take you to eat something you can''t eat at home. Get in
the car."
Several colleagues who saw the joke yesterday saw Sebastian gently smiling at Yasmine and could
not help but feel puzzled. They looked at Yasmine with envy and jealousy.
Yasmine sighed, with a faint sneer on the corner of her lips. The worst thing that Cindere did was
to give hope to all the daughters of poor families.
Sebastian drove the car to a seafood restaurant by the sea. He pointed to the sign and said to
Yasmine, "See, I didn''t lie to you."
Yasmine sneered. He still remembered that she liked crabs. It was really rare.
They got out of the car, walked into the restaurant, and sat down at a table facing the sea.
Sebastian said to the waiter, "Steamed crabs, braised crabs, roasted crabs, fried crabs, stir-fried
crabs, serve all of them."
Yasmine looked at him in surprise. "How are we supposed to finish all of that?"
"Pack it up if we can''t finish. We''ll bring them home and continue eating."
"What''s wrong with you? You have nothing better to do?"
Sebastian looked at her gently and said, "I just want you to vent your anger and think of those who
bothered you as crabs. Swallow them into your stomach, and don''t even spit their shells out."
The waiter brought to the table a steamed crab, then a braised crab, and then a roasted crab.
Within a quarter of an hour, the table was full of crabs. In Yasmine''s eyes, the crabs all turned into
Sebastian''s face. Some were happy, some were unhappy, some were angry, and some were
annoyed. Each of them was in front of her, making her dizzy.
"Let''s start."
Sebastian put a steamed crab into her bowl. She looked at it for a few seconds, then picked it up
and put it into her mouth. She chewed the shell and swallowed it, she really did not spit it out.
"You''re pretending it''s me, aren''t you?"
he asked sensibly.
Yasmine did not admit nor deny it. Instead, she asked sadly and destely, "Are you waiting for the
person who will heal your wounds..."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Sebastian did not answer. Yasmine continued, "Raelene
laughed at me today. She said, if I thought that I can rece the person you''ve never forgotten for
three years, that means that I don''t know where I stand. And one day, I''m going to cry buckets of
tears."
"Don''t listen to that woman''s nonsense."
"Isn''t she telling the truth? If you don''t ept me, it meant that you can''t forget Abigail, right?"
Sebastian touched his forehead and sighed, "Can we not talk about this topic?"
Yasmine''s heart was very sad. She sniffled and said, "Well, if you don''t want to talk, then we''ll stop
talking about it. But I want to advise you not to think about your memories all the time, because the
person in your memory may not necessarily be thinking about you as well."
That day, Yasmine ate a lot of crabs, each of which was Sebastian''s shadow.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left until Linda''s deadline. She called Yasmine and
urged her, "Have you thought about it? When do you want to leave?"
Yasmine closed her eyes painfully. "Why are you in such a hurry? It''s not time yet."
"So, you''re already nning to leave?"
Linda was quite delighted.
"Whether I leave or not will not benefit you, so you better not be so happy for now. Otherwise, the
more you get your hopes up, the more disappointed you will be."
"That''s my business. You don''t have to worry about me. As long as I can get rid of you, I can do
anything I want in the future."
Yasmine had been disappointed that Sebastian refused to ept her feelings. She had no mood to
deal with Linda and no way to get rid of Richie, but these two people kept pestering her like ghosts.
