Chapter 224
Yasmine Taylor stayed in the cemetery nervously after hanging up the phone, waiting for Sebastian to come over.
Sebastian Simons rushed over and arrived at the cemetery 20 minutes later. When he saw Yasmine, he held her in his arms and asked worriedly, "Did anything happen?"
She shook her head, "No." Only then did she dared to look around and said with a lingering fear, "I was scared to death." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"More like I'm scared to death,"
Sebastian fixed the hair around her ear, "Don't come out alone next time. I was so worried when I received your call just now.
They went down the mountain together. Sebastian's driver drove Yasmine's car home, while Yasmine got into Sebastian's car. She bit her lips and muttered, "Maybe I was just imagining things. I was probably still traumatized by what Richie did."
Sebastian said solemnly, "I don't care if you were just imagining things or not, I'll arrange two people to follow you from tomorrow onwards, just in case."
"You don't have to do that. I won't go anywhere else apart from the company and our home. Today is just a special case. Next time, I will ask you to accompany me if I want to come to my mother's cemetery." "No, for the safety of our child, you must listen to me this time."
Sebastian was very firm and Yasmine knew she could not change his mind. She had no choice but to agree. "Well, it's up to you. If you want to arrange it, you can do so."
Yasmine thought that Sebastian was just joking, but he was actually serious. After that day, wherever Yasmine went, there would always be two tough men following behind her. She was not
used to it at first, but after a few days, she gradually got used to it.
She was willing to be extra cautious and sacrifice her freedom temporarily as long as the twins could be delivered safely.
When it was time to get off work on Tuesday afternoon, she came to Sebastian's office and suggested, "Dear, shall we go for tortilla chips later?"
"Why do you want to eat that thing again?"
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. He had accompanied her to eat tortilla chips for more than ten times for the past half a month.
"I want to eat, please, let's go..."
She held his arm and acted like a spoiled child. Ever since she was pregnant, she had been craving all kinds of chips, especially those from the Tortilla Chips House in the north of the city. She had it with Lily Adams once and had fallen in love with the taste since.
Sebastian sighed, "It's not that I'm not letting you eat it. But don't you know that it is not nutritious?" "Let's have it for one last time, please?" Yasmine held up a finger.
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Well, if you dare to go back on your words, I will punish you."
Sebastian switched the laptop off and tidied up the documents in front of him. Then, he picked up the car key, "Let's go."
They went to Tortilla Chips House and sat near the window. When the big bowl of chips was placed in front of her, Yasmine immediately picked up the chips and put them into her mouth, "Wow, it's piping hot."
"It just came out, of course, it's piping hot. Wait for it to cool down. No one will take it from you."
Sebastian glanced at her grumpily and handed the water on the table to her.
"If you like it, I'll ask the servants at home to make it for you, so you don't have to come all the way here."
"Please don't do that. How would the servants be able to recreate this kind of taste?"
"Is it that delicious?" Sebastian could not comprehend at all.
"Of course it's delicious. Don't you like it?"
He told the truth, "I don't like it."
Yasmine squinted and pretended to be angry, "You don't love me at all."
"How does that equate to me not loving you anymore?"
"If you love me, you would have told me that the chips are delicious just because I like it."
"Am I not eating it now?"
Upon hearing Sebastian's aggrieved question, Yasmine pouted, "Alright, let's eat. Don't talk anymore."
She ate slowly and chewed carefully. Sebastian did not like the food, so he did not eat much. After eating a little, he wiped his hands and waited for Yasmine to finish so that they could go home.
At this moment, his cell phone rang. He looked at the number and whispered, "I'll need to take this call."
"Alright."
Sebastian got up and answered the phone as he walked outside. After a while, he hung up the phone and came back with a darkened face.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yasmine was his wife. Naturally, she could tell the shift in his expressions.
Sebastian was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "Henry was released from prison."
"He's released? How could he be released?" Yasmine was shocked.
"Someone has pulled the strings for him,"
"Who?"
Yasmine couldn't think of a person who would support her father. She did not recall knowing such a powerful person.
"It's Linda."
Yasmine's eyes widened in disbelief and her mouth gaped in shock. After a while, she said, "Do you mean, Linda Taylor?"
"Yes."
"How could that be possible? How could Linda have such ability?"
Yasmine could not believe it at all.
"She may not have such an ability, but it doesn't mean that she won't rely on others."
"What do you mean?"
"Fynn just reported to me that about half a year ago, Linda got married to a man who had control over all sorts of people in the country. His nickname is Master Blaine and no one knows his real name."
"Is he very powerful?"
"What do you think? He is capable of releasing your father from prison."
"That Linda, she really is stubborn!"
Yasmine was so angry that she slapped the table. She really regretted that she was so softhearted and gave them a chance to live!
Sebastian did not speak and seemed to be lost in thought. Yasmine frowned, "Sebastian, are you worried?"
He nodded. "Well, I'm not particularly worried about your father getting released from prison. Henry is not the one who will be causing us trouble. What I'm worried about is that it may become a little troublesome if Master Blaine and Claudine choose to join hands and fight against me."
"I'm going to find my father."
Yasmine stood up immediately.
"Sit down. Why are you looking for him?"
"I must ask him to stop Linda from doing evil things."
"Will he listen to you? He has never regarded you as his daughter. Why would he listen to you?"
Yasmine was desperate. Indeed, it was she who had personally sent Henry Taylor to prison. It was already a miracle if he did not hate her to the bones. Was there any reason for him to listen to her again?
Sebastian comforted her when he saw her worried face. "Don't worry. It's not as serious as you think it is. It doesn't matter even if they join hands. I'm not that weak."
"But if Master Blaine really is as powerful as you said, how are you going to deal with him?"
"This person is actually both righteous and evil. According to what I had heard of him, he is not a person who is unable to distinguish right from wrong. The best way to deal with such a person is to let him stand on my side."
"Are you kidding? He is now Linda's husband. Why would he stand on your side?"
"We can think about it in a good way. Perhaps Linda only came back this time to get her father out. She did not intend to be our enemy." Yasmine shook her head, "That's impossible, Sebastian. I know that woman well. She is evil."
"Even if Linda wants to be our enemy, Master Blaine will not follow a woman's orders. I will try my best to win him over before Claudine approaches him. Even if he does not help me, it will be fine as long as he does not participate in the competition between Claudine and me."
Yasmine was still in a state of lingering fear for the next few days. She was worried that Linda would take action on Sebastian and he would be in trouble. However, after a few days of peace, she gradually calmed down. Perhaps, as Sebastian had said, Linda had indeed changed.
Sebastian went to Dubai on a business trip on the weekend. Yasmine was bored at home, so she decided to go shopping. Now that her sister-in-law was in a relationship with Fynn Jaymond, she could hardly meet her. As soon as she went out, the two bodyguards followed her. One pulled open the car door for her, and the other drove for her.
She went to a shopping mall in the city and was ready to buy some loose autumn clothes. The two bodyguards were too close to her which made her feel uncomfortable. She turned back and said, "You don't have to follow so closely. Just keep a distance from me."
On the second floor of the women's clothing section, she held a beige gown in her hands and stood in front of the fitting mirror. The staff came over and reminded her, "Miss, you can try it if you like."
She nodded, "Alright." When she was about to enter the fitting room, she inadvertently saw a familiar figure through the reflection of the mirror. It was Linda. She stood in the corner not far from the counter and looked at her mockingly.
