However, Blake immediately went silent once the child was brought up. Then, he simply glanced at Yasmin and said, "Let's go downstairs.""Are you not going to tell me about it?" Yasmin was curious. In fact, she'd pondered about the possibilities of the situation after Arthur had talked about it in the afternoon.Then, Blake answered, "It's my child."Three months ago, he had promised Giselle to publicly announce that it was his child.Upon hearing this, Yasmin was shocked, and her mind went blank. Suddenly, a bitter expression appeared on her face as well."Do you feel sad?" Blake asked.Yasmin chuckled. "Why would I feel sad? We're already divorced.""Don't talk about this in front of my grandpa," Blake instructed.Yasmin was puzzled. "Why?" she asked."My mom's health has been deteriorating recently. So, I'm afraid that this matter might hit him hard too," Blake replied.Yasmin nodded in understanding. After walking out of the room, they then headed to Arthur's room
Upon hearing this, Arthur finally stopped asking questions. Then, he stroked his beard and instructed the butler, "Thomas, stay here tonight and check whether or not they sleep in the same room."Yasmin was speechless.Arthur was really pushing it!She felt a bit helpless, but Blake took her hand and promised Arthur, "Don't worry, Grandpa. We'll definitely sleep in the same room."However, Arthur still didn't believe them and insisted that Thomas kept an eye on them. Then, he calmly smoothed his beard and went back to his room to sleep.Yasmin then pretended to go back to her room to grab something while Blake followed her in.Once they were in the room, Yasmin turned around and asked, "What do we do now?""Let's just go to the master bedroom to sleep." Blake stood there with one hand in his pocket, looking totally calm.Yasmin was shocked. "Sleep in the same room with you? But we're divorced," she exclaimed."10 thousand.""What?""To sleep for one night, I'll deduct 10
"I'm checking the blisters under your foot," Blake said. He pinched her foot and looked at the blisters on the sole. Some had already formed scabs.Yasmin's heart couldn't calm down for a long while. Then, upon seeing Blake lie down, she asked, "Why did you take off your clothes?""Sleeping without clothes is more comfortable," Blake replied as he patted her head. "Sleep now."Yasmin was stunned. Why was he suddenly so gentle?Looking up, Yasmin met Blake's deep gaze.However, his eyes looked softer than usual. "Don't want to sleep? Then should we do something interesting?" he said.Yasmin dared not say a word and quickly closed her eyes as her cheeks flushed red.Blake looked at her, his eyes as warm as a river in spring. Then, he leaned in and gently kissed her forehead.Yasmin's heart was pounding hard. She didn't know what Blake's actions meant.Did he kiss her like this every time she fell asleep? Or was tonight an exception?She had so many questions, but sh
"But Grandpa, won't you stay a few more days?" Yasmin asked."Nah, I'm old and picky about my bed. I can't sleep well here," Arthur said as he completed his workout with a cool-down exercise.After he was done, Yasmin helped him to the dining room for breakfast.Blake came down soon after. He looked gloomy as he sat at the table and greeted, "Grandpa.""Why do you look so angry?" Arthur noticed Blake's frustrated expression and raised an eyebrow. "Did things not go well last night?"At this, Yasmin almost spit out her porridge.Blake glanced at her coldly and said, "No."Then, he served some food to Arthur.Then, Arthur asked, "So, why the long face then?""It's nothing." Blake didn't want to talk anymore, so he simply ate his breakfast silently.Yasmin couldn't figure out why Blake was upset as well. So, she also quietly ate her food and stayed silent.After breakfast, they stood at the door as they prepared to send Arthur off.Just then, as Yasmin was turning to get i
Blake felt a headache coming on. So, he gently touched Yasmin's head and tried to explain, saying, "Men are like this. Sometimes we can't help it."Yasmin stopped crying and looked at him with teary eyes.Blake then lowered his head and tried to soothe her. "Besides, we aren't divorced yet."Yasmin's face puffed up with anger again. "We're already registered as divorced. You need to respect me instead of force me.""I understand." Blake held Yasmin and kissed her hair.Meanwhile, Yasmin was full of questions. What did Blake mean? He said he disliked her, but his actions showed that he wanted to possess her...Yasmin was baffled and couldn't understand what was going with Blake.…When Yasmin got to the studio, she asked Eunice, "Eunice, what does it mean if a man is divorced but still wants to hook up with his ex-wife?"Eunice thought for a moment and answered, "Maybe he's just trying to satisfy his desires?"Yasmin was speechless. "But he has a girlfriend. Why doesn't he g
Yasmin sighed and said, "We're already divorced.""So, you got nothing out of it?" Victor asked.Yasmin nodded. "Yeah, nothing.""Yasmin, what am I supposed to say to you? How could you take marriage so lightly? You didn't even discuss it with your elders before divorcing. I'm so frustrated with you. "Never mind, I'll go talk to Mr. Ford and discuss this matter. If there's any chance of making amends, you have to come with me to apologize to Mr. Ford. "No matter what, your father went through a lot to arrange this marriage. So, we shouldn't just give up on it!" After saying his piece, Victor hung up.As he did so, Yasmin felt a sudden chill. It was as if she was seeing Victor's true colors for the first time. She also felt desolate and bereft.It seemed that the Starr family was not where she belonged after all.However, Yasmin decided not to dwell on her family matters and focused on her work instead. After a while, she received a call from Blake."Your uncle came loo
Blake had a thing for buying pink stuff for Yasmin. In his eyes, Yasmin was like a child."Alright, get the bracelet. I'll pick her up after work," Blake said before diving back into his tasks.And when it was time to leave, Malcolm already had the jewelry ready.Blake examined the bracelet and, pleased with the purchase, he closed the jewelry box in satisfaction. Then, he got up, buttoned up his suit, and left the office.Malcolm then drove Blake to Erinnyes.However, Yasmin wasn't at the studio.Malcolm checked the time and was puzzled. "It's only 6 pm. Madam shouldn't have left work yet, right?"Erinnyes had always closed at 6:30 pm.One of the assistants then informed him, saying, "Ms. Starr left after getting a call."Hence, Malcolm relayed this back to Blake.Meanwhile, Blake's face was icy cold as he took out his phone and dialed Yasmin's number.But at that moment, Yasmin was having dinner with Victor at a restaurant.When she answered the phone, she remembered
Hector laughed. "Feeling weak?"Yasmin's expression shifted as she said, "Did you drug me?"It indeed felt like she had been drugged."I like it when women are dazed and confused in those moments. It's more fun," Hector said with a twisted smile.Yasmin's heart tightened. She tried to run but Hector pulled her into his arms.Then, he sneered and pulled out his belt.Yasmin felt disgusted. She grabbed a wine bottle from the table and smashed it over Hector's head. Then, Hector passed out without even making a sound.Using the last of her strength, Yasmin called the police.When the officers arrived, Yasmin weakly huddled in a corner while Hector lay amidst a pool of wine. He had a big gash on his head that was bleeding profusely....It was 11 pm and Yasmin still hadn't returned home.Blake was waiting for her in the yard, and his face grew darker and darker as time passed. Eventually, he gave Yasmin a call, but the call went unanswered.Blake frowned and called Ma
