The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 9

The sunset gave off a soft and calming glow. It was neither too intense nor dazzling and emitted a feeling of warmth.

After Yasmine Taylor finished her work at school, she returned to the mansion. The spacious living room was empty. She went straight up to the room, to her secret chamber. Then, she could not believe what she saw.

Sebastian Simons was true to his words - he changed the bed. It was a white bed yesterday and it was now black. She went around the bed three times and couldn't figure out what made a man hate women so much...

Even if she touched his bed, he could have just changed the sheets. Did he have to get a brand new one? Such a weirdo. No wonder he got divorced so many times.

Yasmine took a deep breath, turned around, and went into her secret room. After changing, she went downstairs again. Tiffany Simons was sitting on the couch. Yasmine suddenly came up with an idea. Maybe she could get some information from her since her sister-in-law was such a straightforward person.

"Hi, Tiffany."

Yasmine greeted her softly, and her little sister-in-law, who was focusing on her phone, raised her head, and replied sweetly, "Hey, sister-in-law." "Where did Mom go?"

"Mom went to the Mount Emperor." The little sister-in-law said with a grin, "To thank God for giving her a good daughter-in-law."

Yasmine smiled and sat beside her. She looked around to confirm there's no one there, and took the opportunity to ask, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes. What is it?"

This little sister-in-law was indeed easy-going.

"Why does your brother always get married and then divorced?"

Tiffany gave out an exaggerated sigh, it was almost comical.

"Why does every newly married sister-in-law have to ask me the same question?"

Yasmine felt a little embarrassed.

"I didn't say anything to any of them, but since you asked, I will tell you something because I like you."

She looked out of the door and said in a low voice, "It's because he shows no affection to women. He is also a very meticulous person. As time goes by, no woman can stand him regardless of how many riches they have."

Yasmine couldn't agree more.

"He never lets any woman stay in our house for more than three months. Either you volunteer to leave, or he will find a way to force you to do so. Do you know how bad he is? My fourth sister-in- law stayed at my house for two months and he didn't even know her name when she was leaving. He really broke my parents' hearts..."

"But why is he doing this? What's wrong..." "Something is wrong with his brain? I think so too." "Is he really...?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Yasmine covered her mouth in shock. Although she knew there must be a reason behind all this, she didn't think about that possibility at all.

"It's not what you think. It's actually..."

"Tiffany. Are you bad-mouthing your brother behind his back like this?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind and made them jump. Both Yasmine and Tiffany sat still. Yasmine felt her heart hammering, almost jumping out of her chest. She didn't like gossiping all this while but curiosity finally killed the cat.

Tiffany slowly whispered in Yasmine's ear, "My brother does not tolerate betrayal at all. I have already betrayed him for you. Once he gets angry, the consequences are bad. You should handle this."

Without a noise, Tiffany quickly fled away from the scene, as fast as she could.
