The Seventh Miserable Bride

Chapter 219

"Mom, you're worrying too much."

Yasmine Taylor looked at her mother-in-law with a smile. Madam Simons shook her head and said, "How can I not? I am so happy that you are having a child. Now that you are having twins, I feel like the happiest person on earth."

Tiffany Simons was also overjoyed. She placed her head on Yasmine's belly and murmured, "Let me listen, is my nephew or niece moving?"

"Don't be silly, they don't even have the shape of a human yet, how can they move?"

Yasmine poked Tiffany's forehead playfully. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while? I'll call you when it's time for dinner,"

Sebastian's voice was extremely gentle. He hoped that everyone would disappear, leaving only Yasmine and him. Then, he would hold her in his arms and kiss her enthusiastically to show how happy he was at the moment.

"It's fine. I'm not a patient. Don't be too worried about me. If you are anxious, I'll become anxious as well."

"Oh no, you can't be anxious. From now on, you must maintain a stable and happy mood, so that the children will be smart and lovely."

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Madam Simons ordered the kitchen to start preparing dinner. She specially prepared a meal for pregnant women. When it was dinner time, Yasmine looked at the table of delicacies and nearly ten small bowls of herbal soup. Her eyes widened in shock. "Mom, how will I be able to finish all of them?"

"These soups are helpful for your pregnancy. I don't know what kind of soup you like to drink, so I asked the kitchen to prepare all of them. You can just drink a little of each. Just tell me which of them do you like and I'll cook for you every day,"

Yasmine sat down. Sebastian Simons looked around the table and said, "You should drink this first."

Yasmine picked the bowl up and drank it. However, she felt an urge to puke after a few mouthfuls. After she came out of the bathroom, her mother-in-law took another bowl, "Have a try at this. That soup was probably too greasy just now."

However, Yasmine still ended up throwing up again after drinking it.

Madam Simons still did not give up and picked up another bowl. Yasmine really did not want to drink anymore, but she could not bear to refuse her mother-in-law's kindness, so she forced herself to take a small sip. In the end, she vomited again.

Seeing that Yasmine had vomited repeatedly, Sebastian felt distressed. "Mom, don't let her drink anymore."

"But she hasn't eaten anything for the whole day. If she doesn't drink some soup, how will she get the nutrition she needs?"

"We shouldn't rush it. The doctor has said that the morning sickness is the worst during the first trimester. You can see how uncomfortable it is for her."

Madam Simons understood why her son felt distressed for his wife. She nodded, "I'm sorry, I was probably too anxious. In fact, when I was carrying Tiffany, I couldn't eat anything for the first three months of pregnancy. I just wanted to have porridge every day."

"Mom, could you please cook some porridge for me tomorrow?. I want to have some plain porridge."

"Okay. Just tell me what you want to eat. But before going to bed at night, you must drink some milk. Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to drink it for the sake of the baby,"

"Okay, I will."

After dinner, Sebastian took Yasmine upstairs. Yasmine turned around and glanced at Tiffany, who had a sneaky smile on her face. She was a little embarrassed and she immediately let go of Sebastian's hand. "Don't hold my hand. I'm not that weak."

Sebastian thought of the scene where Abigail Tanner had fallen down the stairs. He insisted on holding her hand. "Don't be stubborn."

After taking a shower, Sebastian and Yasmine lay on the bed together, hugging each other tightly. Yasmine said gratefully, "I have lived for 28 years. At this moment, I finally know what true happiness is."

Sebastian protested discontentedly, "Have I never made you happy?"

"Yes, I've been happy. However, I have never imagined being so happy. I finally understand the meaning of true happiness now."

Sebastian kissed her forehead, "I am also very happy now."

"Why don't you give our two babies names?" Yasmine raised her head and looked at him.

"Why do you want me to name them again? Haven't we decided on the names already?"

"That's the real name. It should be used when they go to school. Perhaps you give them a nickname."

He nodded, "Okay. Let me think about it."

Sebastian thought about it for less than three minutes. "Alright, I've made up my mind."

"What?"

Yasmine looked at him with excitement.

"The girl will be Smiley and the boy will be Chuckles,"

"Oh my God, what kind of name are those... Smiley and Chuckles..." Yasmine laughed as she lay back on the bed.

"Don't you think it's a joyful name?" Sebastian asked seriously.

"I just thought that they are very childish."

"Silly, the names have their own meanings behind them."

"What's the meaning behind it then?"

"Smiley and Chuckles is the meaning of happiness. Since our baby's mother has never enjoyed a happy childhood, I hope that our children will grow up joyfully with a happy childhood."

Yasmine was so moved that she was about to shed tears.

She lay in Sebastian's arms and hugged his waist tightly. She choked, "Sebastian, you are so kind to me. I have no regrets in my life now that I have you."

"It's also my greatest blessing to have you in my life."

"You probably wished that both the twins were boys, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"You don't have many young men in your family. If I'm pregnant with two boys, you and Mom will be very happy."

"No, I desperately hope that you are pregnant with a girl and a boy."

"Why?"

"Because if that's the case, I don't need to rename our children."

Yasmine was speechless.

The news of Yasmine's pregnancy was soon known by relatives and friends. A continuous stream of people came to congratulate her every day. On this day, Lily Adams also came.

Yasmine was sitting in the living room downstairs. When she saw her good friend whom she had not seen for months, she was really shocked. She grabbed Lily's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so haggard?"

People were strange creatures. They would try their best to hold back their tears, but the moment someone started getting worried about them, their tears would fall uncontrollably.

Lily cried, "Scott has never loved me."

Yasmine knew that Lily was probably facing some issues in her marriage. She patted her shoulder, "You may have misunderstood him. He has made it clear to me that we will just be friends in the future. He won't miss me anymore."

"Even if he doesn't miss you anymore, it doesn't mean that he will fall in love with me."

"Then how could you be sure that he doesn't love you?"

"Women's intuition. I can feel it in my heart whether he likes me or not."

Yasmine sighed and advised her, "Your intuition might be wrong. If you want to make sure that your intuition is accurate, I'll give you an idea."

Lily raised her tearful face, "What is it?"

"A test to see if Scott's heart belongs to you."

"I'm listening."

"If you want to know whether your man cares about you, the simplest way is to get closer to other men. Although this method is a bit old-fashioned, it is the most simple and effective way. Don't let him think that he is the only man in your world. The more you care about him, the more he will not care about you. On the contrary, when you do not care about him, he will think that he could not live without you."

"Will this work?" Lily was a little doubtful. "Of course, if Scott doesn't care about you, he won't say anything. If he cares about you, he will not be able to ignore it. As long as a man has a woman in his heart, he won't let such a thing happen."

"I'll have a try then."

It was already late in the evening when she returned home from the Mansion House. Lily called a classmate who had pursued her when she was in college. They had lost touch with each other after graduation, so she was not sure whether he still liked her.

Unexpectedly, when the man received her call, he was very happy and started talking to her enthusiastically. Lily did not hide her intention from him and said her purpose directly. After he knew what Lily was up to, he was willing to cooperate with her.

When Scott Jules came home, he saw Lily sitting in the living room and making a phone call. Her tone was gentle, and the content of the conversation was a little ambiguous.

He frowned subconsciously and went straight to the study without saying a word.

Ever since they quarreled that day, Scott had slept in the guest room over the past few months. They would talk to each other but they were a little distant.

He sat in the study and listened to Lily's laughter from time to time. He did not even have the mood to read. He pushed open the door of the study and went out, reminding her, "It's time to take a bath."

Lily ignored him and waved her hand. "I got it." Then, she continued to talk happily with her classmate.

Scott sighed and went straight into the bathroom. When he came out of the bathroom, Lily was still on the phone, and the content of the conversation was getting more sexual. He could not bear it anymore.

He walked to Lily again and patted her on the shoulder, "It's time to take a shower."

Lily looked back at him and thought that Yasmine's method was indeed effective. He had never been so attentive to her in the past. He would not care even if she had not taken a bath for three months.

She hung up the phone reluctantly and found Scott sitting on the couch with a gloomy face. She did not say anything and got up to take a bath. However, Scott spoke sourly, "Who are you talking so enthusiastically to?"

Lily answered lazily, "Oh, my college classmate. He had been pursuing me for some time."

She deliberately sneaked a glance at him. Seeing that his face was gloomy, she could not help to feel a little happy in her heart. She thought to herself secretly, "Do you think that no one loves me? I'm the beautiful and magnificent Lily Adams alright?!"

"You're married. You ought to be careful with what you do and say."

"I am being careful. Am I not allowed to contact my male friends just because I got married? Principal Jules, since you don't like to talk, I have to find someone who likes to chat with me. Otherwise, my life will become very boring."

Scott was rendered speechless by her. After that night, Lily began to deliberately return home late. On that night, the classmate who had agreed to help her sent her home. They happened to meet Scott who came out to throw rubbish. Scott looked at them with a dark face and slowly walked over to greet them. "You're back."
