Chapter 99


    Sebastian smiled gently and started the engine, then he drove away...


    Yasmine checked the time then took out her mobile phone and dialed Lily''s number. "Hello, have


    you left home?"


    "I’m about to."


    "Why haven''t you left home yet?"


    "I had a stomach ache. I had been having diarrhea since yesterday."


    "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"


    "There''s no need to. I''ve taken two pills to stop the diarrhea."


    Just then, ady dressed in elegant clothes walked past Yasmine, and the purse in thedy''s mink


    coat suddenly fell out. Yasmine hurriedly said to Lily who was still on the phone, "Wait a minute."


    Then she picked up the purse on the ground and caught up with thedy. "Hello, madam. You


    dropped your wallet."


    Thedy took off her dark brown sunsses, revealing a pair of wrinkled but beautiful eyes. She


    smiled and took it, saying, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee."


    Yasmine smiled back, turned around elegantly and continued to talk to Lily on the phone. "Hello, are


    you still there?" "Yes, you picked up a purse but didn''t keep it?" Lily asked yfully.


    "Yes, I picked up a purse."


    "Tsk, tsk. You''re really an honest kid. You deserve to be praised."


    "Stop it, have you left home yet?"


    "I left a long time ago. See you in ten minutes." "Okay."


    Yasmine and Lily shopped for the whole day. They bought a lot of clothes and cosmetics. Yasmine


    also bought some things for Sebastian. When Sebastian returned home in the evening, he did not


    see his wife. He immediately asked, "Mom, where is Yasmine?"


    Madam Simons ignored him.


    He asked his sister instead, "Tiffany, where’s your sister-inw?"


    Tiffany snorted and said, "The world is getting harder to understand. The two people who used to


    hate each other now can’t bear not seeing each other for one minute? How unbelievable."


    "Cut the crap. Where is she?"


    "I don''t know."


    Sebastian was annoyed. He took out his phone and said, "Do you think that I can''t find her without


    your help? You scheming girl, you''ll never get married!"


    Tiffany threw a pillow at him and shouted at his back as he disappeared by the door, "If someone


    like you could get married. Why can''t I..."

    "Oh my God, so noisy. I can''t even watch TV in peace."


    Madam Simons rubbed her ears.


    "Mom, since you already gave birth to him, why did you have to give birth to me? You see, he was


    born to irritate me!"


    "How would I know? If I had known that both of you would make me worry all the time, I wouldn’t


    have given birth to the two of you."


    "Ah, ah, ah. I''m going crazy. I can''t stay in this house any longer."


    Tiffany ran upstairs.


    Sebastian stood by the fountain and called Yasmine. After a long while, she picked up the phone,


    "Hello, honey, what’s the matter?"


    "Where are you?"


    "Having dinner with Lily."


    "Why do you eat with Lily all the time? Shouldn''t you have dinner with me at this time? You should


    celebrate with me, right?"


    "Oh, Lily insisted that I treat her to a meal. If I refused, I would appear too stingy, right?"


    Sebastian sighed, "When will youe back?"


    "I''ll go back after I finish eating."


    "Okay, hurry up."


    "Got it."


    After being urged by Sebastian, Yasmine quickly wiped her mouth and went to settle the bill, leaving


    Lily alone in the dining hall.


    When she got home, Sebastian was working in the study. She walked in holding many bags in her


    hands and said proudly, "I''m quite amazing, right? I''ve spent a lot of your money today."


    Sebastian smiled grumpily and said, "It''s good to spend money. A woman who knows how to spend


    money proves that a man can make money. If a man can''t make money, how can a woman spend


    money?"


    "Yes, yes, you''re great. You''re excellent, okay?"


    Yasmine opened a box and said, "See what I bought for you."


    "Moisturiser, lotion, shaving foam, a facial mask, and another facial mask?"


    Sebastian’s eyes widened and asked, "Why did you buy facial masks for me?"


    "To put it on your face."


    "Are you kidding? Why does a man need to put a mask on his face? It''s not manly."


    "Who said that a man who puts on a facial mask is not manly? It''s to protect your skin and to make


    you look like you’re not much older than me."


    "Am I much older than you?"


    In fact, Sebastian was only three years older than Yasmine.


    "You’re not much older than me. I just hope that I can show you off when I bring you out."


    "Does that mean you can’t show me off?" Sebastian was about to erupt. "Of course not. It''s my


    honour to bring you out now. Of course, it''ll be more honorable if your skin is well protected."


    "Oh, howe I didn''t know, since when did you be so materialistic?"


    Yasmine rolled her eyes and said, "Materialistic? I want my husband to be young forever, is there a


    problem with that?"


    "Who wants to be young forever?"


    "Oh, I know. You want to grow old with me."


    Sebastian snorted angrily when he saw Yasmine’s cunning smile, "Get over yourself. Hurry up and


    put on the clothes I bought for you and let me have a look."


    "Why?"


    "Madam Xelia from the Xelia family will have a banquet in two days. She has invited some rich and


    nobledies over to her home. At that time, you’ll have to wear a beautiful dress."


    "You want me to participate?"


    "Yes."


    "Why? I don''t even know her."


    "You don''t know her, but she knows you. How can she not know Sebastian Simons''s wife?"


    "Uh... Can I not go?"


    In Yasmine''s heart, she did not want to attend such parties. Only richdies who alwayspared


    with each other joined such parties.


    "Of course not. This is a matter of my dignity. If you didn''t go, I’d lose my dignity." Sebastian


    retorted.


    "Then, will you go?" Yasmine asked.


    "She only inviteddies. I’m not going." He replied casually.


    "I''d be afraid if I went alone," she retorted.


    "Afraid?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "You’d be afraid? You watched a horror movie


    all alone in the middle of the night."


    "I was bored that time."


    "No, you have to go anyway. You''re my wife. You have to attend parties like this in the future."


    "Then I don’t want to be Sebastian Simons''s wife, okay?"


    "How dare you..."


    Sebastian chased after her and ran into the bedroom. After chasing around, Yasmine was finally


    convinced by him and agreed to go to the gathering.


    On Thursday night, she wore a in evening gown and came to the venue of the banquet, Madam


    Xelia''s house.


    The Xelia family''s vi was veryrge. As soon as she entered the banquet hall, Yasmine felt


    dazzled. It was not because of the bright lights, but because of thedies inside. Despite their age,


    they all dressed up beautifully and brilliantly. In contrast, she dressed up much simpler than they


    did. Fortunately, Sebastian was not there, otherwise, he would be pissed at her.


    "Are you Mrs. Simons?"


    Madam Xelia saw her and greeted her warmly. Yasmine nodded and smiled gracefully, "Yes. Hi,


    nice to meet you."


    "I''ve heard that Mrs. Simons is a natural beauty. As expected, you look more pretty than all the


    other women here in just a simple dress."


    "No, no, Madam Xelia, you''re ttering me."


    It looked like Yasmine was having a conversation with her, but in fact, in her heart, she was very


    impatient. She just wanted to find the opportunity to look for a ce to hide until the banquet is over.


    "Make yourself at home. I''ll go over there to greet the guests."


    "Okay, no problem."


    Yasmine took a long sigh of relief as soon as Madam Xelia left. She walked over to the buffet table,


    took a small delicate te, and picked some food that she liked. When she was about to find a quiet


    ce to enjoy her food, an elegant woman came to her, holding a ss of champagne.


    The woman looked a little familiar.


    "Hi, have we met somewhere before?"


    the woman asked her with a smile.


    Yasmine thought for a moment and at the same time, they both said, "The purse."


    The two of them looked at each other andughed. The woman was quite excited, saying, "I just


    thought that you looked quite familiar, but I couldn''t remember you at first."


    "Yes, it''s the same for me at first nce. Why are you here, madam?" Yasmine asked. Immediately


    after saying that, she smiled, realizing she was asking the obvious. Why was she there herself..."


    "I was invited. You, too?"


    "Yes."


    "By the way, what''s your name?"


    "My name is Yasmine Taylor."


    "Yasmine Taylor, your name is so elegant. My name is udine Tucker. You can call me Auntie


    udine."


    "Okay, sure."


    Yasmine nodded a few times and handed her the dessert that she had not eaten. "Auntie, take this.


    I''ll go and get some more."


    "Okay."


    udine did not feel shy, and epted it with a smile.


    The two of them brought the snacks to the sofa at the corner and sat down. While eating, they


    began to chat. "Miss Taylor, do you have a boyfriend? I feel like I get along with you easily. How


    about I introduce someone to you? It''s my son. He''s very handsome."


    Yasmine almost choked on the dessert. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no. I''m


    married."


    "Married?"


    udine looked surprised. "You look very young. You got married so early." "Yes, I got married just


    this year."


    "Well, that''s a shame. I thought of introducing my son to you..."


    Yasmine smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. With a mother like you, your


    son will definitely find a good wife."


    "Hehe, you''re really good at talking."


    udine admired her even more, but she stopped mentioning about introducing her to someone


    else.


    "Auntie, are you a businesswoman?"


    "Yes, I used to do business overseas and I returned just recently."


    "Oh, no wonder you look like an independent woman."


    "I''m ttered. I can really get along with you, Miss Taylor. I wonder if you’de to my house for


    dinner one day?"


    At the thought of udine introducing her son to her just now, Yasmine felt awkward. "You’re being


    too nice..."


    udine seemed to read her mind and said with a smile, "Don''t worry, I live alone. I am divorced.


    My son lives with my husband."


    Having revealed udine’s scars unintentionally, Yasmine said apologetically, "I''m sorry. I didn''t


    mean that."


    "If that''s not what you meant, I''ll take it as a yes? Seven o''clock this weekend. Come to Peaceful


    Bay Resort, it’s my new home."


    "Okay, I’d better obey your order." It was hard for Yasmine to refuse this warm invitation, so she


    epted it.


    At half past nine, when the banquet was over, udine walked out of Madam Xelia''s house with


    her. udine stood beside the car and asked, "Where do you live? I''ll send you off."


    "It’s okay, my husband wille and pick me up."


    "Okay, I''ll go first."


    "Goodbye."


    As soon as udine left, Sebastian arrived. He got out of the car and walked towards Yasmine.


    "Dear, did you have fun?"


    "Not bad."


    Yasmine smiled and said, "It''s just that I''m not full. Would you take me to have some good food?"


    "Greedy cat."


    Sebastian touched her nose affectionately, took her hand and got in the car. "Did you make any new


    friends?"


    Yasmine nodded and answered, "Yes, I met an interesting Auntie."


    "Auntie?"


    "Yes, I guess you could say we’re fated. The other day, she dropped her purse at the Pacific


    Shopping Center entrance. I picked it up and returned it to her.


    I didn''t expect that we would meet again today."


    "What''s her name?"


    "udine Tucker."


    "udine?" Sebastian thought for a while and said, "I don''t think I''ve heard of this name."


    "She said that she used to do business abroad and came back only recently."


    "Oh."


    Sebastian nodded casually then he started the engine and joined the traffic.


    Yasmine looked at the shing light outside the window and suddenly said, "Auntie udine said


    she wanted to introduce a guy to me today."


    "Squeak-"


    Sebastian mmed on the brakes. Fortunately, they had fastened their seat belts. Otherwise, they


    might be thrown out of the car.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    Yasmine red at him angrily and said, "Why did you brake so sharply?"


    "She said she was going to introduce you to a guy. How did you answer her?"


    Sebastian questioned with an unpleasant look and his eyes were filled with jealousy.


    "I said... I said..."


    Yasmine purposely kept him guessing. She knew that Sebastian''s heart was filled with anxiety, but


    she still wanted to appease him.


    "What did you say?"


    "Let me think about it."


    Sebastian could not take it anymore. He reached out his hand to grab her neck and kissed her


    angrily. The kiss came like a storm, controlling and outrageous, just like him.
