Chapter 215


    The warm month of April passed in the blink of an eye and the sweltering summer arrived as


    expected. Yasmine Taylor felt that it was hotter than any other summer because her heart was


    burning.


    Her aunt''s condition had be much better after going through an operation in the middle of May.


    Two weekster, the doctor told her that she could continue recuperating at home. The family then


    left the hospital happily. After all, they had been staying there for three months. It was good news


    that they could finally return home.


    That night, Gabriel booked a sumptuous multicourse dinner in a five- star hotel in the city to


    celebrate Mindy''s discharge from the hospital.


    After having dinner and returning home, Mindy Yard held her niece''s hand and said with gratitude,


    "Yasmine, thank you for your tender and loving care during this time. If it weren''t for you, I might''ve


    left your uncle by now."


    Chuck Lorris interjected with a smile, "Yasmine did her part, but don''t forget the other person who


    did much more."


    Mindy knew who it was very well. "You should go back to B City tomorrow. I''m so sorry that I''ve


    wasted three months of your time that you could have spent with Sebastian."


    "It''s okay. If we are meant to be together, three months apart is nothing. It won''t be toote for me to


    go back when your condition haspletely recovered."


    "I''m much better now. You''d better go back, otherwise I would start to feel guilty."


    Yasmine thought for a moment, "Then I''ll hire someone to take care of your daily needs. I''ll also


    take over you and Uncle Chuck''s expenses from now on."


    "Thank you for being so thoughtful. Your uncle and I really appreciate it."


    Yasmine packed up her luggage the following morning, prepared to head back to B City. Before


    leaving, her aunt said earnestly, "Please thank Sebastian for me when you''re there."


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "Okay,"


    She nodded and looked at her uncle. "Well, I''m leaving now. Please call me immediately if anything


    happens to Aunt."


    "Yes, I will,"


    The couple saw her out of the door, watching her get into a taxi and disappear into the horizons.


    Yasmine didn''t inform Sebastian of her return. The nended in B City in the afternoon. She


    gave Tiffany a call, who then drove to the airport and picked her up. They headed home


    immediately after that.


    The family were very enthusiastic when they saw Yasmine. After chatting with her mother-inw


    and sister-inw for a while, she said yfully, "Please don''t tell Sebastian that I''m back, okay?"


    Tiffany Simons winked at her, "No problem. How sweet of you for wanting to give my brother a


    surprise."


    Madam Simons called her son in the evening and told him toe home for dinner no matter how


    busy he was.


    Sebastian was only done with his work at 7 p.m. and he drove home immediately after. Yasmine hid


    in a dark corner. When she saw him getting out of the car, she immediately called him through her


    phone.


    "Hello, Yasmine?"


    Sebastian looked visibly exhausted after a tiring day but his tone was still extremely gentle when he


    answered the phone.


    "Are you done with work?"


    "Yea, I just got home,"


    "Do you miss me?"


    Sebastian answered without a doubt, "Of course." "Really?"


    "Really."


    Sheughed on the phone, "Then how about I''ll show up in front of you now?"


    Sebastian let out a long sigh, "Forget it. Don''t y such jokes on me, alright?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, Yasmine suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her arms around


    his waist from behind. "Do I look like I''m joking?"


    Sebastian''s body stiffened, his phone still attached to his ear. He looked back in disbelief and saw


    that the person behind him was really the one he had been thinking about day and night. He was so


    excited that he immediately lifted her with a hug, "Yasmine, is it really you? Why are you back here?


    Am I dreaming?"


    He bombarded her with three questions in a row.


    Yasmine hooked her hands around his neck and giggled. "Of course it''s not a dream." She took the


    initiative to kiss his lips. They hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately, their tongues


    intertwining endlessly. The sweet and lingering kisssted for a long moment until Tiffany suddenly


    appeared. "Hey, we''re all starving waiting for you two. Could you let us fill our stomachs first before


    you make out?"


    The two let go of each other reluctantly. Yasmine was a little embarrassed. However, Sebastian took


    her hand calmly and stepped into the living room.


    After dinner, her mother-inw took Yasmine''s hand and said, "Let''s have a chat. I have a lot to talk


    to you about."


    Sebastian Simons quickly stopped her, "You can talk about it tomorrow. Yasmine must be tired after


    the long flight."


    Tiffany knew what her brother was up to, so she deliberately made things difficult for him. "Yasmine,


    there''s this skirt that caught my eye this afternoon. It''s very beautiful. You should apany me to


    buy it."


    "Who goes shopping in the middle of the night? It''s not like you don''t have time to do that tomorrow


    morning." Sebastian was getting irritated. Were these people that oblivious? Didn''t they know a


    couple who had just reunited would need some time for a heart-to-heart conversation with each


    other?


    Before Yasmine could speak, Sebastian had pulled her upstairs impatiently.


    As soon as they entered the room, he locked the door and threw Yasmine onto the couch like a


    ravenous wolf that hadn''t eaten for a long time and kissed her. Yasmine responded to him


    enthusiastically, joking, "Are we not going to live in separate rooms?"


    "Not anymore. In fact, we''ll be in the same coffin if we die right now."


    After a moment of passion, Yasmine felt like she had run a marathon. Her whole body was soaking


    wet and she couldn''t gather a single ounce of strength. She leaned backzily on the bathtub and


    refused to move a muscle.


    "Sweetheart, didn''t you say you''d surprise me the next time we meet? What is it?"


    Yasmine lifted her eyelids weakly and saidzily, "Isn''t this the surprise?"


    It turned out that the unannounced return was the surprise.


    However, it was indeed a pleasant surprise...


    Later that night, when she was curling up in Sebastian''s arms and sleeping soundly, his phone rang


    and woke her up. Sebastian answeredzily, "Hello?" Yasmine felt that his body had turned a little


    stiff. "Right, I''ll go over right now."


    He hung up the phone, took out a ck shirt from the wardrobe, and put it on. As he put his watch


    on, he saw Yasmine sitting up from the bed. He asked gently, "Why did you wake up?"


    "What happened? Why are you going out sote at night?"


    "It''s nothing, go back to sleep."


    Sebastian kissed her forehead and picked up a suit, ready to go out.


    "Sebastian,"


    Yasmine stopped him, "I''m willing to face any difficulties with you. After what we had been through, I


    don''t want to keep any secrets from you anymore."


    Sebastian smiled at her with doting eyes, "Yeah, I understand."


    He didn''te back even after the sun had risen. In the morning, Yasmine gave him a call. He said


    that he was already at thepany. When she heard that his calm voice, the worry in her heart


    immediately dissipated.


    Her mother- in-w''s birthday wasing soon. Yasmine wanted to make the most of it for her.


    When she was discussing it with Tiffany, Madam Simons came down from upstairs.


    "Just invite a few rtives and friends over to have dinner at home. No need to make a big deal out


    of it."


    Madam Simons had already overheard their conversation, so she expressed her own opinion right


    away.


    "Mom, this is your 60th birthday. How could we throw such a simple celebration?"


    "If it were up to me, I wouldn''t even suggest asking my friends and rtives toe over. I''m old


    and I don''t like too much excitement now. Simple is good."


    Yasmine sighed while Tiffany shrugged. "Fine."


    The house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere on Madam Simons'' birthday. Yasmine respected


    her wishes and didn''t invite too many people over to their house. In addition to a handful of her


    mother-inw''s poker friends, the rest of the attendees were either her family or her close


    associates. Fynn Jaymond also came to the party.


    At the beginning of the party, Yasmine stood up and did a toast. "Mom, happy birthday to you. I wish


    you a lifetime of happiness. The more you live, the younger you will be."


    "Heh, your daughter- in-w''s really good with her words."


    Madam Simons'' poker friend whispered at her ear.


    Sebastian also raised his ss at his mother, "Mom, happy birthday."


    "Thank you,"


    Yasmine sighed in her heart. He was indeed a man who was not adept at expressing his feelings.


    He wanted to say a lot of blessings to his mother, but he ended up saying a simple ''happy birthday''


    to her.


    Tiffany was thest to stand up. She had matured gracefully over the past two years. Like a lily


    emerging out of the water, she gave off a fresh temperament.


    Ady stared at her for a while and suddenly said, "M, does Tiffany have a husband?"


    All of a sudden, the people sitting at the table were dumbfounded. Madam Simons shook her head,


    "Not yet. Why do you ask?"


    Thedy continued, "She doesn''t have a boyfriend either, does she?"


    "Yes,"


    Thedy suggested, "Great, then let me introduce my nephew to Tiffany. His name is Virgil and he''s


    about the same age as Tiffany. His status matches hers too. If the two of them could form a close


    rtionship, it''ll end up being a good marriage."


    The atmosphere became very tense. Yasmine saw that her mother-inw and sister-inw were not


    speaking, so she quickly stepped in to relieve the tension. "Oh, Tiffany''s still young. Isn''t it a little too


    early for her to find a partner now?"


    "What do you mean it''s too early? They don''t have to get married right away. They could take one to


    two years to get to know each other better."


    Thatdy must like Tiffany very much, so she turned to look at Madam Simons. "What do you think,


    M?"


    Although Madam Simons was not pleased, she couldn''t say it too bluntly and put her reputation on


    the line. "I have to ask for my daughter''s opinion. If she agrees, I don''t have any objections." All


    eyes were fixed on Tiffany, including Fynn. He felt ufortable hearing thatdy introducing


    someone else to Tiffany but he was not bothered because he believed that Tiffany wouldn''t agree to


    that.


    "Sure, I''m fine with that."


    Tiffany''s answer was beyond everyone''s expectations. She got up gracefully and said politely, "You


    may arrange the meeting time and let me know. I''ll take my leave first."


    Fynn''s face turned dark as he watched her figure disappearing into the living room.


    At the end of the birthday dinner, Fynn excused himself in a hurry. He was very familiar with the


    layout of the Mansion House and knew where Tiffany would be. He arrived at the backyard without


    much difficulty. Sure enough, he saw a small figure amongst the flowers.


    "Why did you agree to thatdy''s suggestion?"


    He walked up to her and questioned her in a cold and condescending tone.


    Tiffany raised her eyes slowly and replied tly, "What does it have to do with you?"


    Fynn was furious and he pulled her up. "It''ll be miserable for you to live with someone whom you


    don''t love."


    Tiffany retorted, "This is the reason you had refused me in the first ce?"
