Chapter 123


    "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 red 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 rtionship 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 vi. 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 arge


    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 ttered.


    "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." Sebastianughed.


    "What are youughing 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?"


    "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?''


    Sebastianughed 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


    __ _ n


    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 ept the things that they have done."


    "Why can''t you ept 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 havemitted."


    "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 ept it. I couldn''t ept 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


    exined 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 moreforting than this warm hug to soothe his wounded heart.
