Chapter 133
Chapter 133
When Abigail Tanner got into Sebastian Simons' car, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became very tense. Lily Adams secretly took a glance at Yasmine Taylor, and her eyes were full of guilt. If she had known that Abigail would do this, she would not leave the seat next to Sebastian to this bitch even if she would be third wheeling them.
Fynn Jaymond had a few drinks at the banquet. Although he felt a little tipsy, his mind was still very sober. Just like Lily, he could smell the strong gunpowder smell coming from behind him.
"You drank, didn't you?"
Sebastian stared at him with his sharp eyes. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I had some."
"Can you drive? Or should I take over?"
"Oh, you don't have to do that. It's fine. Since I'm your assistant, I won't let you be the driver."
Although his words sounded tactful, Yasmine knew clearly that Fynn just didn't want to be caught in between her and Abigail. In fact, Fynn had been quite close to Abigail in the past. If he sat in the back, they would inevitably start a conversation. It wouldn't be a big deal at all but the point was that Yasmine would still be sitting next to him so if he talked to Abigail, wouldn't it seem like he was going against Yasmine? Therefore, it would be better for him to be the driver than being caught in between these two ladies, he thought. Sebastian didn't want Yasmine to feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't be ruthless to Abigail too. Even if they had never been together for three years at all, he still couldn't ignore a stranger who had asked him for help on a rainy day.
It was just that Fynn hadn't thought this through.
The car slowly drove off and quickly blended into the traffic. As the rain was gradually becoming heavier, the whole city felt like it had fallen into an underwater world. Everything in the car was dead
silent and the atmosphere was still as solemn. No one spoke a word, and only the hushed sounds of their breathing could be heard.
"Drive slowly, it's easy to get into an accident in this kind of weather."
"Yes, got it."
As soon as Sebastian finished his words, the red lights in front of him lit up and rows of cars before them stopped in their tracks. However, Fynn stepped on the accelerator by mistake and with a loud bang, their car collided with the car in front of them.
Ah...
With a loud scream, the glass of the car shattered. Yasmine and Abigail fell into a great panic. At that very moment, Sebastian had instinctively hugged Yasmine to shield her from the danger.
Abigail was in a daze as she witnessed Sebastian's behavior. She couldn't believe her eyes. The man who she had always thought had loved her deeply was protecting another woman with his body at the most critical moment. Due to Fynn's mistake, it had caused a very serious accident, and the site quickly fell into chaos. A tiny piece of glass had pierced into Sebastian's forehead and blood was seeping out, but he did not care about the pain at all. He nervously hugged Yasmine and asked, "Yasmine, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Yasmine shook her head with a pale face. "No, I'm not injured. What about you? Are you hurt?"
Seeing that his forehead was bleeding, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief from her pocket and said, "You are bleeding, your forehead is bleeding!"
"I'm fine."
Sebastian had completely ignored his own injury. The only thing that he cared about was whether Yasmine was injured or not. "Quick. Let me see if you're injured elsewhere."
Abigail looked at the two of them with her heart completely broken. At this moment, she finally realized the cruel reality. The man who had once delicately held her in his hand, has no room for her in his heart anymore.
The traffic police and the ambulance had finally arrived. Fynn and Lily, who were sitting in the front seat, were badly injured compared to the others in the back seat. They were soon taken away by the ambulance. It was only then had Sebastian realized about Abigail's existence. He turned around and asked her, "Are you hurt?"
Abigail looked at him coldly and replied, "I'm injured."
"Where?" Abigail pulled her collar down, revealing his name which was engraved on her chest. "Do you see it? Here, I'm hurt here."
Yasmine stared at the word on her chest and slowly turned her head away.
Sebastian pulled her collar back and said in a deep voice, "Don't do this."
Abigail shook off his hand, angrily pushed the door open, and rushed into the rain.
She cried and ran to Peaceful Bay Resort, knocking on the door of Claudine Tucker's apartment. Claudine opened the door and asked in surprise, "What's happened?"
"Godmother..."
She threw herself into her arms and cried hysterically.
Claudine patted her back sympathetically and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. Tell me what had happened."
"What should I do? Sebastian's heart is no longer with me anymore."
Thinking of Sebastian who had completely ignored her, Abigail immediately felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"Go get changed, and then tell me everything."
Claudine dragged Abigail, who was a mess, into the bathroom, and then gave her a clean dress for her to change into. "Take a bath first. I will brew a cup of hot coffee for you." Abigail came out of the bathroom after the bath and sat lifelessly on the sofa. Claudine handed her a cup of hot coffee and said, "Drink it. It's Special Expresso from South America. It helps a lot in calming the mood."
"Thank you."
She took it with one hand and took a sip of the coffee. She then began to tell Claudine what had happened just now. When she mentioned that Sebastian was protecting Yasmine with his body at that critical moment, she burst into tears again.
"He doesn't love me anymore. He really doesn't love me at all. If he still loves me even for a little bit, he would never forget that I was sitting next to him."
Claudine sighed and said, "Abigail, don't worry. I will definitely help you to get that man. No matter what, that man must belong to you."
In her heart, she added, "Only when that man becomes yours, then Yasmine Taylor would be my
„ „ i„ n
sons.
" Claudine, do you have any idea what I can do? His heart is not with me anymore. What kind of idea could you possibly have?"
"It's not easy to matchmake someone, but it's definitely easy to break them up."
"But they seem to be in a good relationship now."
"So what? Since ancient times, good relationships have never come to a good end. I can promise you that I will not spare any efforts to help you get Sebastian back to you."
Abigail met Claudine three years ago when she first arrived in France. At that time, when Abigail had applied to work in her company, Claudine had inadvertently found out that Abigail was in love with Titus Simons' son and had also learnt that Titus had used some nasty tricks to make Abigail leave his son. She was very angry and took in Abigail as her goddaughter at that time. Since they had a common enemy, the relationship between them was extraordinarily close.
Abigail stayed at Claudine's house until 11 o'clock and until Ethan Zordon called her. "Why haven't you come back yet?"
"My car is broken. Can you come and pick me up?" "Where are you?"
"Peaceful Bay Resort."
Ethan hung up the phone. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Peaceful Bay Resort. Abigail, who had been waiting at the intersection was no longer as moody as before after receiving some encouragement and support from her godmother.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
"How could I sleep peacefully when you are not back home yet?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Ethan thoughtfully buckled the seat belt for her as she sat in the passenger seat. The place where they lived was less than 100 meters away from each other. When Ethan noticed that her car had not returned, he called her anxiously.
"You don't need to wait for me anymore. This is not in France. I won't get lost or get kidnapped."
He didn't say anything as the car drove out of Peaceful Bay Resort. The rain had stopped an hour ago. Abigail wound down the window halfway and the cold wind which was mixed with the smell of the rain blew on her face.
"I thought you went to Mr. George's birthday banquet? Why are you here?"
Ethan pretended to ask casually.
"I'm not in a good mood, so I came and talked to Claudia."
With a whoosh, Ethan parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car. He stood by a Vienna Goddess statue while he put his hands on his waist and leisurely looked at the water fountain.
"What's wrong?"
Abigail also got out of the car and stood behind him and asked with confusion.
"I don't like the fact that you're being so close with Claudine Tucker."
Ethan did not hide his discrimination on Claudine. "This woman's mind is like a bottomless pit. You will never know what she's thinking or scheming in her mind."
"Ethan, how can you criticize my godmother like this? Have you forgotten how she helped me and took care of me when I was in France for the past three years?"
"There is no free lunch in the world. There must be something which was to her benefit, so she was willing to take care of you and help you. There are so many people from Country C in France, but why does she only care about you?" "Because we get along very well."
"That is not the reason."
"We have a common enemy."
"That's not a reason too."
"In your opinion, it's not a reason. However, in my perspective, everything is the reason. What can my godmother use me for? I have no value at all now that Sebastian's heart is not with me anymore, but she is still willing to help me. This only proves that she really treats me like her daughter."
Ethan laughed sarcastically. "I really don't know whether to say that you are silly or innocent. Do you know that Claudine Tucker's son likes Yasmine Taylor?"
"Yes."
"If she manages to get you and Sebastian back together, then just guess who will be the one that will be with Yasmine in the end?"
Abigail shrugged disapprovingly. "So what? Even if she has her own motive, I wouldn't care anyway. What I care about is whether Sebastian will come back to me or not."
A trace of surprise flashed across Ethan's eyes. "Abigail, since when did you start to have such selfish thoughts?"
Many years ago, on a snowy land, Ethan had come across a beautiful girl who was helping a blind old woman to cross the road. At that time, she had a gentle smile on her face, leaving an extremely beautiful impression in his mind. Unfortunately, fate made a fool of him. When he met her for the second time, she was already his cousin's girlfriend. Although he could not restrain his desire for her, he was still not wicked enough to compete with his cousin for a woman. After that, the three of them got along like a close family. Although he had never confessed his love to Abigail, she had always known about his feelings for her.
