Lately, Yasmin had been feeling miserable every day but had no one to talk to. The grievances welled up in her heart, and it was suffocating.Upon realizing that Blake refused to let her go, Yasmin stopped hiding it. She let it all out while sobbing. "You won't be saving my dad. Everything is a lie! You keep me by your side as if I'm your toy. You made me lose the last family member I have in this world. And now, I can't even fend for myself…"She wiped her tears with the back of her hand.A hint of regret crossed his eyes. He wanted to wipe her tears for her, but she pushed him away."Don't touch me! I hate you!" Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed. She yelled, "What else do you want from me? Even though my dad betrayed James, Starr Corporation is already under your name!"My dad is imprisoned, and his sickness has become serious. I'm left with nothing, and you're still not sparing me. I only want to save my dad. Is that so hard of a request?"She fell to her knees
Yasmin was surprised. "You… You're going to spare my dad?""Yeah." Blake stared at her, and he noticed her eyes swollen from crying.He gently wiped away her tears and said, "I sent my men to check on Stuart a while back. He was afflicted with a contagious lung infection. "At the time, you had gotten into a car accident that lowered your immune system. I was afraid that he might pass the disease to you, so I held off on arranging a visit. I didn't expect you to run away." Yasmin had tears in the corner of her eyes. Upon hearing his words, she sniffled and asked, "Really? Did you send someone to check on him?""Yes. I checked on him, but his condition is severe. That's why he's currently being isolated in the quarantine area. "After he recovers, I'll get Celeb to write the statement proving Stuart was framed when he purchased the cement. I'll clear his name and return Starr Corporation back to him. Will that be enough?"Yasmin thought about it before questioning, "Are you real
"There's nothing wrong with admitting you care about me." Blake held Yasmin's face and gazed into her eyes.She felt uncomfortable being stared at, especially when she was in his arms.After laying everything out in the open, she realized they were quite close to each other. In fact, he had somehow placed her on his lap during the struggle.She subconsciously tried to escape. However, he didn't let her move and kept her on his lap. He said in a deep voice, "I haven't finished yet. Why're you leaving so soon?""Let me go first." She tried to squirm her way out."But you haven't answered my question. Do you care about me?"She batted her lashes at him. She didn't deny it this time. "Yes, I care about you."Yamin blushed in embarrassment, which made her look quite adorable to Blake. He couldn't hold back and kissed her.Her muffled voice escaped her throat. He whispered into her ears, "Don't reject me this time. I've missed you so much…"She was surprised. The sadness pent up i
"I don't care," Blake said. "Is it a crime to hug my wife?"Wife? He said that she was his wife?Yasmin's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.Blake had always called her by her name. He had never called her his wife before. The tips of Yasmin's ears turned red.This didn't go unnoticed by Blake as he carried her into the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. "Why is your face so red? Is it because I called you my wife?"Upon hearing this, Yasmin took a deep breath and glanced at him.Blake was smiling. "Is it really because of that? You like it when I call you my wife?"She clasped her hands together and said awkwardly, "No!""You're blushing." Blake didn't believe her. He leaned over, and Yasmin could feel his breath on her lips as he said, "Wifey."Yasmin's eyes fluttered, and her breath caught in her throat. It was really because Blake had called her his wife.Blake smiled and said it again, "Wifey.""Stop that." Yasmin was extremely embarrassed. She lifted her hands to push him away,
"Malcolm is there. He'll watch the shop and tell Jessica where you've gone," Blake replied.Yasmin was relieved. Finally at ease, she shopped around the market with Blake. After a while, she said, "This is Cirrus Town, my dad's hometown.""I know," came Blake's response.Yasmin looked at him in confusion. "How do you know?" She never told him that her family was from Cirrus Town."I checked your family background. Plus, you like to eat the food at Cirrus, so it wasn't difficult to figure out.""Then how did you find me?""Tyler has been in Cirrus Town for a few days," he told her truthfully.Tyler had been the one to lose track of Yasmin, so his punishment was to come to Cirrus Town to look for her.The day prior, someone from Miller Village had gone to town to look for Tyler with news that a beautiful foreigner had arrived in the village. Tyler recognized Yasmin the minute he was shown a picture of her.After that, Tyler immediately called Blake.Blake was in Stanton Cit
"Jessica, I'm here." Yasmin said while exiting the car. Blake held her hand as she strolled into the house.Jessica was surprised to see them holding hands. She cautiously asked Blake, "You are Ms. Starr's…?""I'm her husband," Blake said warmly.Jessica's jaw dropped in shock. "Ms. Starr, you're married?"Yasmin hummed in response. "I've been married for two years," Yasmin said, glancing at Blake and blushing.Jessica turned her attention to the man beside Yasmin. Blake was a fine-looking man. One could immediately tell he was rich based on his temperament and appearance.Jessica said, "Well then, it's nice to meet Yasmin's husband."Upon hearing this, Blake smiled, making him look approachable and friendly.Jessica welcomed Blake into the house while Yasmin went to unload the trunk. Malcolm and Tyler went to help her.Jessica was surprised to see so many purchases. "Ms. Starr, why did you buy so much?""Jessica, I've been enjoying your hospitality for a long time and want
Stuart was a good husband, father, and employer—but he had betrayed Blake's father, James Ford.All Blake knew was that those seven people had betrayed his father, and James had died at Merania. No one knew exactly how his father died.Blake suddenly felt the urge to re-investigate this matter—but he wouldn't tell Yasmin about this. She was a simple and innocent girl, and he wanted to keep it that way."You can take a nap in my room after lunch. But first, let's eat. Lunch is ready." Yasmin pulled his hand and led him into the house for lunch.Jessica was busy placing the cutleries on the table. When she saw them enter, she smiled and said, "Blake, Ms. Starr, lunch is ready."Yasmin had bought a lot of groceries, so there was a great spread on the table.Blake sat down at the table and Yasmin took the seat by his side. Naturally, he began serving her the food.Jessica sneaked a peek at Blake. He was quiet and elegant while he ate and seemed to be a very self-controlled man. It a
When Yasmin lived alone, she would freely change clothes in the room. But now…She turned and glanced at Blake. His eyes were closed, and he wasn't looking at her.Yasmin thought for a bit. There was no need to hide since they were married. Plus, his eyes were closed.Thus, Yasmin turned her back to him, took off her bra, and slipped into her pajamas.When she looked back, Blake was staring at her. His eyes appeared to be sparkling.Yasmin was extremely embarrassed. "Weren't your eyes closed just now?""You woke me up when you changed," Blake said with a chuckle.Yasmin was speechless. She pretended to be oblivious to Blake's interested smile and put her dirty clothes in the laundry basket.As she made her way toward the bed, Blake moved further in to make space for her.Yasmin joined him on the bed.The minute she lay down, Blake hugged her tightly. "The bed is too small. Come closer or you'll fall off the bed." Yasmin lay comfortably in Blake's arms, and he whispered in h
