For some reason, Yasmin felt an uncomfortable emptiness when Blake left.Still, she knew that their marriage had to come to an end.Moreover, tomorrow was the end of the cooling-off period, and they could finally get divorced. But that day, Yasmin felt restless. However, when Blake still hadn't returned by evening, she assumed that he had agreed to the divorce.Upon this realization, Yasmin felt a mix of relief and melancholy. …The next morning, Yasmin woke up feeling gloomy.Today was the day of divorce. And after today, things were over between Blake and her. Although Yasmin had expected this, she still couldn't help feeling disappointed.After staring at the ceiling for some time, she sighed and got out of bed.She sat at the dressing table and pulled out her documents. After making sure that she had everything, she carefully put them in her bag.When she headed downstairs, Mary said, "Breakfast is ready, Mrs. Ford."Yasmin instantly teared up when she saw Mary.
"Did I ever say I'd go?" Blake stood, towering over Yasmin.Yasmin was dumbfounded. "But you promised me last night…""What did I promise you?" Blake asked back.Yasmin was at a loss for words.He was right. He hadn't promised her anything.Yet, he still slept with her.So that meant he had agreed!Yasmin forced herself to speak, saying, "You agreed by sleeping with me!"Blake smiled coldly. "But you also said that I could keep sleeping with you until I was satisfied. And I'm not satisfied yet, so why would we get divorced?"Yasmin was stunned. Stiffly, she clarified, "I only meant within those two days. You were the one who didn't come home last night.""No. You never mentioned when the offer would end." Blake corrected her.Yasmin's mind went blank. Had she not mentioned when the offer would end?Biting her lip, she stammered, "I must have forgotten. Well, the offer ends today.""Changing your words now doesn't count," Blake retorted.Yasmin was taken aback with disma
After thinking about it for a moment, Yasmin asked, "You won't stop my father from leaving after a month?"Blake merely hummed in response, his eyes somber.So, Yasmin could only agree.She was truly between a rock and a hard place—she had to deal with both Annalise and Blake before her father could gain his freedom.So, she agreed to Blake's conditions. "It's a deal."Blake then looked at her and repeated himself. "Please me right now."Yasmin's face flushed. "I don't know how.""You seemed pretty good at it yesterday." Yasmin had kept clinging to him no matter how many times he pushed her away yesterday."Last night was different." Yasmin was embarrassed. "I can't do it now." The rush of courage she had had disappeared by now."Do the same thing again." Blake began unbuttoning her coat.A deep blush crept up Yasmin's face. She wanted to remove Blake's hand, but he stated, "You're not allowed to refuse."Yasmin immediately froze up and remained in his lap, her head droo
Blake's expression remained the same as he looked down to read some documents. He didn't seem to welcome Giselle. Giselle also knew that Blake was trying to chase her away, but she didn't want to leave. As she caressed her baby bump, she said, "Blake, the child is three-months-old now. There's a gene check-up tomorrow. Would you like to come?"Blake looked up when he heard this. "Is the check-up tomorrow?""Yeah." Giselle softly added, "I'll be having the check-up in the same hospital as Anna, so you can visit her before accompanying me.""Alright." Blake agreed.Meanwhile, Yasmin, who was hiding in the private room, felt knives stabbing into her heart when she heard this.Blake refused to let her go, yet he was still going to accompany Giselle for a check-up. At the thought of this, Yasmin felt like someone was squeezing her heart in a death grip. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. As she reached down, she felt a damp stickiness on the back of her skirt.
Blake answered, "She doesn't need your help, so you can leave.""Okay then." Giselle smiled and waved at Yasmin.However, Yasmin remained expressionless. Shortly after, Blake's secretary entered the room holding a bag. "Mr. Ford, the things you wanted are here.""Give them to her," Blake instructed.The secretary then walked over to Yasmin and handed her the bag. "Ms. Starr, there are new clothes and period products here. You can head over to the restroom to change.""Thank you!" Yasmin blushed as she went to the toilet. She then cleaned herself up and put on a new pink skirt before emerging from the room. As expected, pink was Blake's preference after all.As soon as she came out, Yasmin saw Giselle watching her from in front of a mirror with her arms crossed. She was most likely waiting for her.Giselle then smiled and asked again, "Yasmin, have you two finalized the divorce yet?""Not yet," Yasmin answered truthfully.Giselle's eyes grew cold. "You better hurry up,
Blake explained, "During National Day one year ago, you kept pestering me to take you to the hot springs after I came back to the country. It was September 28th. "However, we ended up not going because you had your period and kept rolling on the bed in pain."Memories popped up in Yasmin's mind when she heard this. The incident happened sometime before National Day last year. She'd kept kicking up a fuss about visiting the hot springs and complained about how Blake never came home. She'd even threatened to get angry if they didn't go and kept whining about it.Blake was annoyed by her nagging, so he reluctantly agreed and booked the tickets. But when they were about to leave, she weakly told him that her period had come, so they weren't able to go. Yasmin also remembered how Blake had made a snide remark about her being the cause of them missing the trip even though she had been the one who suggested it in the first place.She had been furious at the time. After all, she was
Although Yasmin was angry with Blake, she also relied on him a lot, especially during vulnerable moments like these. Every time he treated her gently, she couldn't help falling deeper for him.But, she couldn't.The deeper in love she fell, the harder it would be for her to pull herself back together in the future.So, she needed to stay clear-headed.After all, her father was still waiting for her.At the thought of this, Yasmin quickly forced herself to calm down.Moments later, they arrived at Newphoria Bay. As soon as Malcolm stopped driving, Blake leaned over to gather Yasmin into his arms.However, Yasmin hurriedly refused, "I can go upstairs myself. You should head back now.""It'll just take a few minutes," Blake insisted on carrying her into the villa.Mary came out and saw them. "What happened to her, Mr. Ford?" she asked."Her period just started. Please get her some painkillers, Mary," Blake said before carrying Yasmin upstairs to the bedroom.Yasmin tried to
After dinner, Yasmin went for a walk in the garden.Newphoria Bay had a beautiful garden, and she'd heard that her mother used to love flowers. So, her father had built this gorgeous garden just for her.Colorful flowers in full bloom lined her path as Yasmin was taking a peaceful stroll. But suddenly, she bumped into someone.As her nose ached from the impact, Yasmin raised her head and was surprised to see Blake in front of her. "What are you doing here?" she asked."I just came back. Why aren't you resting upstairs when you're in pain?" he asked."Moving around helps with the pain," she replied."Okay, then." Blake then naturally leaned closer to pull her into his arms.However, Yasmin dodged his actions and left his hand frozen mid-air.She said, "You should go back if you don't need anything. It's also better if you don't come here from now on."It was clear that she was kicking him out.Blake stared at her. "I only got off work at 9:30 pm and came straight here with
