"Look here. I've already seen it with my own eyes, and yet you're still lying." Arthur scoffed. "I knew you wouldn't give up on Blake, so I made the trip to Merania on purpose. I was there the past few days investigating your past."Arthur had gone to Merania to investigate Giselle's past, not to seek medical counsel.He squinted and said, "Upon investigation, I discovered you were dating a man in Merania one year ago. Just four months ago, you conceived his child. However, the person fled when he heard you were pregnant. "I don't know how you and Blake got together, but the child in your womb is definitely not Blake's."After he had finished speaking, Arthur brought out another piece of evidence. "This is a record of Blake's whereabouts four months ago. Looking at this, it's clear that Blake didn't go to Merania four months ago."Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing this.Arthur turned to Annalise. "You're silly too. Is the baby Blake's just because Giselle said so? You just
If Giselle hadn't been pregnant, Annalise would have slapped her hard.How shameless could one be?"Thomas, take me upstairs." With nothing else left to say, Annalise wanted to return to her room. She felt defeated after such a fiasco.Giselle could not accept that their relationship had become like this. With a wretched expression, she ran to help Annalise, saying, "Anna, let me help you."After everything, she was still trying to seek redemption.Annalise, however, was no longer moved by her actions. She frowned and said coldly, "There's no need. I now know what a liar you are. I asked about you and Blake numerous times, and you always gave me the perfect story. But in reality? Do you even love my son?"Giselle had no answer for her. She pursed her lips and said, "Anna, I told you all this because I love Blake too much.""Does that justify you lying to me about the child in your womb?!" Annalise raised her voice in rage.Giselle was pale. With tears streaming down her face,
"Fine! Since you said our agreement is over, I won't give birth to this child! I'll abort this child tomorrow!" Giselle threatened him.Blake glanced at her coldly, his gaze frigid enough to freeze her over.He said slowly, "Fine, abort the baby. In that case, I'll take back everything I've given to the O'Shea family."Giselle shuddered.Blake pried her hand off the door and said, "Rh-negative blood types are rare, but you're not the only one with it. Even if you don't do this, there will be other people."Upon saying this, he ordered Malcolm to drive away.As the car slowly left the yard, half of Giselle's face was shrouded in the shadows.Amelia was still there.She had wanted to wait for Giselle outside, but she happened to overhear Giselle and Blake's conversation.Amelia waited for Blake to leave before going over to help Giselle up. "Mom…" Giselle hugged Amelia and wailed her heart out. Amelia stroked Giselle's hair. "Giselle, this is your fate. You're not destined t
"Yasmin?" Chris called Yasmin a few times before he got a response.Yasmin glanced at him blankly and shook her head. "No, I'm not."Just as Yasmin finished speaking, a luxurious car stopped in front of them. The car door opened, and Blake walked toward them in a black suit.That suit was the one he wore in the photo.There was a trace of sadness in Yasmin's eyes.Had he come over here after the wedding?He had already married Giselle, and he still dared to come and look for her? Was he two-timing?As she saw him approaching her, she could no longer resist the urge. She turned and ran."Yasmin!" Blake frowned and chased after her.Yasmin heard him calling her and ran even faster. The tears were threatening to spill. She didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore! Her thoughts and emotions were a mess. She was so terrified of Blake catching up to her that she didn't notice a car approaching."Yasmin!" Blake called out to her from afar.In her frenzy, Yasmin had r
"Blake Ford!" Yasmin's eyes were red with rage.Blake wouldn't budge. He pulled her into his embrace, looked her in the eye, and asked, "What do you mean your emotions are a mess because I came? You hate me that much?""Let go of me!""Talk to me first." Blake glared at her coldly. He hugged her tightly when she kept flailing about. They were still on the road!Yasmin frowned. "What're you trying to do right now?!""I asked you to be quiet." Other than hugging her tightly, Blake did not do anything to her.Yasmin seemed to be tired after all that fuss, so she suddenly broke down. Her eyes were misty.Blake raised his eyebrows and asked coolly, "What's all this about?""Why come and look for me when you're already married to Giselle?" Yasmin could no longer contain herself and burst out crying. "Yesterday, you promised me that you would never marry Giselle, and yet you did just that. "Blake Ford, you've been lying to me this whole time, haven't you? You don't love me, and yo
"Are you very sad?" Blake asked.Pouting, Yasmin grumbled, "What do you think? Would you be happy to see me marrying someone else?"His face darkened instantly. "Of course not."He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers before sighing softly. "When I arrived this morning, I discovered that my mom was faking her condition. She also forced me to put on the groom's suit, which was when Annie got the chance to snap my photo."Blake continued to explain, "I already sensed something was off while I was changing, so I called Joel. He told me that my mom had nearly recovered and that Grandpa was on his way back. That's when I knew the timing was right, so I revealed the truth about the baby."Blake was afraid Yasmin wouldn't believe him if he didn't make things clear.With how simple-minded she was, there was a high chance she'd start conjuring weird thoughts if he didn't explain now.Taken aback, Yasmin asked dumbly, "You revealed the truth?""Yeah.""T-Then, wh
Blake tilted Yasmin's head and looked directly into her eyes. "Everything's over now, understand?"He kept his gaze locked onto hers. Feeling self-conscious, she nodded. "Yeah."In short, Blake didn't marry Giselle, the divorce wasn't finalized, and Annalise wouldn't oppose their relationship anymore.There was a flutter in Yasmin's stomach. She snuck a peek and saw Blake staring at her tenderly. Unable to suppress her longing, she wrapped her arms around his neck and captured his lips in a passionate kiss. Blake immediately reciprocated, but her phone suddenly started ringing in her bag.She snapped back to reality and realized that they were still on the streets. Blushing, she said, "Hang on, my phone's ringing."Blake released her, and she quickly pulled out her phone and saw that Chris was calling her. He told her that business was blooming and asked her to come back to help. Yasmin looked at the time. It was already 8:00 pm, which was usually the busiest time for nigh
Yasmin's heart ached for Blake when she heard this. No wonder he always looked exhausted whenever she saw him lately. It took over ten hours for a round trip from Cirrus Town to Stanton City, so he was bound to be tired.She grabbed a blanket and covered Blake with it.Soon, they arrived at Miller Village. Chris and Malcolm got out of the car first.Yasmin softly woke Blake up. "We're here."Blake's eyes sprung open, bloodshot and weary. When he realized it was Yasmin, he lowered his guard and relaxed. "Have you closed the stall?" His voice was husky with sleep. Yasmin nodded. "Yeah. It's already past 9:00 pm, and we're home now. If you're tired, you can go upstairs and sleep after showering.""I'm all right." He sat up, noticing the blanket. "Were you the one who put this on me?""Yeah." It was usually the other way around. Yasmin smiled and took out the apple Chris had given her. "This is for you, Mr. B. It's for Christmas Eve!"She liked calling him that. It sounded m
