Chapter 207


    At three o''clock in the afternoon, Yasmine Taylor rushed back to F City. Instead of going to her


    uncle''s house, she went straight to the hospital.


    When she reached the hospital with a fruit basket in her hands, she was surprised to find that


    Gabriel Smith was also in her aunt''s ward. Her aunt was delighted when she saw her. "Yasmine,


    why are you back?"


    "Uncle Chuck told me over the phone. How are you feeling now?"


    "I''m fine. I''m just having a cold. I didn''t expect to startle all of you."


    Mindy looked at Gabriel, then at her niece as she spoke.


    Yasmine then thanked Gabriel, "Thanks foring to see my aunt."


    Gabriel pretended to be angry and snorted. "Did you only notice me till now?"


    "Of course I had noticed you earlier, but I''m here to see my aunt. I can''t ignore her and say hello to


    you first, could I?"


    Gabriel smiled grumpily, "I''m kidding. Do you think I''ll be jealous of your aunt?"


    The few of them in the ward smiled at the same time. Gabriel looked at the watch on his wrist, "I still


    have a meeting at thepany. I''ll have to leave first. Shall we have dinner together tonight?"


    Yasmine nodded. "Alright."


    After he went out, Mindy Yard held her niece''s hand and eximed, "Gabriel''s really a good man.


    When he learned that I was illst night, he dropped everything and rushed here to visit me. He also


    paid for my medical fees."


    Chuck Lorris interrupted, "Yes, I''ve never seen such a kind-hearted person. Yasmine, you mustn''t


    let him down."


    Yasmine looked embarrassed. Her uncle and aunt still did not know what had happened between


    her and Sebastian Simons. She did not know how to exin it to them, so she just said


    euphemistically, "I''ll think about it."


    "What else is there to think about? A man like Gabriel is hard to find even in broad daylight. Also, he


    never minded the fact that you were once married or that you are infertile. Why are you so picky?"


    When Yasmine saw that her aunt greatly approved of Gabriel, so she told her honestly, "He''s a


    good man but the person I love is Sebastian."


    "What?"


    Chuck and Mindy shouted in unison, firmly rejecting the idea for Yasmine and Sebastian to have


    any more connection. Her uncle said, "Yasmine, as the saying goes, a fall in the pit, a gain in your


    wit. Haven''t you learn from your mistakes yet? What''s so good about Sebastian? They are just


    another wealthy family. Doesn''t the Smith family have money too? Gabriel isn''t any worse off than


    Sebastian, is he?" "That''s right. Think about how you were driven out by them at the beginning!


    Now that you''ve recovered from your scars, you''ve forgotten about the pain, haven''t you?"


    Yasmine sighed, "Aunt, no one asked me to leave. I left on my own. Sebastian almost knelt down


    and begged me to stay but I still left. In fact, I feel sorry for him."


    Oh my Goodness. Mindy rubbed her forehead and said to Chuck, "See, I told you as long as she


    goes to B City, that Simons guy would definitely do everything to charm her soul. What do you think


    now? Was I right?"


    Chuck reprimanded his niece coldly, "I will cut my ties with you if you are going to reconcile with


    Sebastian!"


    Yasmine could not get through to them. Later that night, she sent a text message to Sebastian when


    she was lying in bed.


    "Have you slept yet?"


    "No."


    "Do you miss me?" she typed.


    "No,"


    "Is that a real no or a fake no?" she snorted.


    "Does it matter if it''s real or fake?" he responded shortly.


    "If it''s a real no, I''ll go to bed right now. If it''s fake, I''ll talk to you for a while before going to bed."


    After waiting for a long time, Sebastian replied, "Fake no." When Yasmine saw the message, she


    grinned from ear to ear. It felt sweeter than honey.


    "I have something to tell you. I don''t think I''ll be able to go back this time."


    "Why?"


    "My uncle and aunt are strongly opposing our rtionship. Their hearts arepletely bought over


    by Gabriel."


    Sebastian was instantly furious and his heart was filled with regret. He should not have let Yasmine


    go back!


    "Well, will you listen to them?"


    "Uh... I have to, don''t I? When you abandoned me, they were the ones who took me in."


    "When did I ever abandoned you?"


    "Ugh, let''s just drop it. Anyway, my uncle has given an ultimatum. If I go back to you, he''ll cut off my


    rtionship with him."


    "Then just cut ties with him. He''s not your father. Why should he meddle with who you''re with?"


    Yasmine did not reply to his text this time. Sebastian could not wait any longer and called her


    immediately, only to be informed that her phone had been turned off.


    She made him anxious on purpose, to let him feel a sense of crisis.


    However, Yasmine did not expect that Sebastian would rush to F City the next afternoon.


    When she went to the airport to pick him up, Yasmine rolled her eyes and huffed, "Why are you


    here?"


    "To kidnap you!"


    Sebastian took her hand forcefully and said, "Come back with me."


    Yasmine struggled to break free. "No, my aunt is still sick. Do you want me to abandon them and


    run away with you? Are you pulling the biggest prank in the world?"


    "Well, what do you want to do then?"


    "If you really want me back, you have to get my uncle''s blessing first. If the old man agrees, I''ll go


    with you at once."


    Sebastian sighed helplessly, "Take me to him."


    Sitting in the taxi, Yasmine reminded him, "Be prepared that he might crack your head open."


    "Stop the car."


    Sebastian shouted all of a sudden.


    "Why? Are you backing down? Are you going to be a deserter?"


    Yasmine thought that he was frightened by her words. She looked confused.


    "I need to buy something."


    Sebastian red at her grumpily.


    The couple came to her uncle''s house with plenty of bags with them. Chuck and his wife were in


    shock. Obviously, they did not foresee that Sebastian would appear before them out of nowhere.


    The two of them looked at him unhappily. Chuck walked out the door without saying a word. Mindy


    asked icily, "What are you doing here?"


    Sebastian took a deep breath and replied with a smile, "Aunt, I heard you''re ill, so I came to visit


    you."


    "Save it for yourself,"


    Mindy turned around indifferently and walked into the house.


    Sebastian looked at Yasmine. She shrugged her shoulders. She did not know what to do either.


    Sebastian was clearly not weed. However, since he was already at the house, they had no


    choice but to take him in as a guest. Mindy walked to the door and said to her husband, who was


    smoking while squatting at the door, "Chuck, go buy some groceries."


    Yasmine nudged Sebastian and signaled for him to coax her aunt with some good words, in order to


    rebuild his image.


    Sebastian was not a sweet talker. He was a man of few words. He knew how to speak to others in a


    professional and firm manner, but he did not know how to coax others. He lowered his voice and


    said, "I don''t even know how to humor you. How could I do the same to your aunt?"


    "Then how did Gabriel do it?"


    Her words made Sebastian speechless. He reluctantly walked over to her aunt. Before he could


    open his mouth, he saw Chuck running into the house in a panic. "Sh*t! Gabriel''sing."


    The only thought that crossed Yasmine''s mind when she heard of Gabriel''s arrival was that she


    definitely could not let the two men meet right here. Otherwise, it would be chaos.


    She hurriedly pulled Sebastian into her room and told him sternly, "Don''te out. If you do, our


    rtionship will be exposed."


    Sebastian''s face was already gloomy. He


    questioned in a deep voice, "Are you that embarrassed of me?"


    "Don''t twist my words, okay? You know I don''t mean that."


    "Then don''t hide it. I don''t like to be so sneaky."


    "Yasmine, are you up yet? Gabriel''s here."


    Her aunt knocked on the door and called for her. Yasmine was really anxious. She promised


    Sebastian, "Next week, I''ll tell him the truth right away once the new products are listed


    sessfully. I promise that I won''t beat around the bush, okay?"


    As she spoke, she tiptoed to nt a heavy kiss on Sebastian''s face.


    Yasmine walked out of the room. Gabriel teased her, "The sun is already up, and yet you''re still


    sleeping like a log. Apart from me, who else would like such azy woman like you?"


    Yasmine quickly tossed her hair in an awkward manner. "Why are you here at this time? Did


    anything happen?"


    "I''ve just settled thepany''s affairs, so I thought ofing over and have lunch with you. It''s rare


    for you toe back to F City. I want to spend every minute and second with you."


    Mindy smiled, "The work in B City will be over soon. By then, you''ll have plenty of time to get along


    with each other."


    Sebastian listened to the conversation through the door. He was so infuriated that his lungs were


    going to burst. If it weren''t the fact that he was afraid Yasmine would get angry at him, he wanted to


    rush out at that moment and tell everyone that Yasmine was his and that no one else shouldy a


    finger on her!


    Gabriel eventually dragged Yasmine out for lunch. Yasmine was thinking about Sebastian, who was


    still at home, hence she did not have much appetite. After a while, she finally found an excuse to go


    home, only to be told that Sebastian had left.


    She tried to chase after him but her uncle grabbed her, "Your aunt''s still sick. Are you going to just


    leave her alone like this?"


    Yasmine pointed outside. "But Sebastian..."


    "He''s a grown man," Chuck snapped. "Are you afraid he''ll lose his way?"


    Noticing that her aunt was sitting feebly on the sofa, Yasmine could not bring herself to leave. She


    called Sebastian, but his phone was switched off. It seemed that he was really furious.

    Yasmine lost count of the number of times she had tried to call him throughout the whole afternoon.


    Sebastian did not turn his phone on at all. After the sky got dark, she thought of calling Tiffany


    Simons. The call was answered just after two beeps. "Hello, Yasmine?"


    "Tiffany, is your brother back?"


    "Yes, he is. He''s in the study. What''s wrong?" "Could you please pass the phone to him?"


    "Sure, just a minute.1


    Tiffany went to the study. After a while, she lowered her voice to the phone and said, "Yasmine, my


    brother doesn''t want to speak on the phone. Did you two have a fight?"


    Yasmine sighed in disappointment, "Ugh, it''s a long story. Forget it, I''ll go back tomorrow. I''ll talk


    about it when I''m back."


    The next day, Yasmine took an early flight back to B City. She went straight to thepany without


    returning home. Sebastian was not happy to see her. He asked coldly, "What''s the matter?"


    "Where did you go yesterday? Why didn''t you answer my phone? Don''t you know that I''d be


    worried?"


    Sebastian snorted, "You were busy dating with your new boyfriend. Do you still have the time to


    worry about me?"


    "I''m sorry. I''m just looking at the big picture. If it weren''t for the productunch thising Monday, I


    would not have endured the pain of leaving you at home and suffer the wrath of my aunt and uncle.


    I just want theunch to be sessful."


    "Don''t bother saying those cheesy words, Yasmine. I''m not a three-year-old kid whom you could


    fool easily. You can''t lie to me with a few good words."
