Saying that Yasmin wasn't moved would be a lie.Her friend kept her favorites in mind when eating out. Of course, she felt warm and fuzzy after learning about it.Ivan attempted to improve Yasmin's mood. "Unfortunately, I've only found one great restaurant like this after staying in Stanton City for a few months. Since you've lived in Stanton City for many years, do you have any great recommendations?"However, Yasmin wasn't in the mood to talk. She replied flatly, "I'm not feeling chatty today, Ivo. Can you wait until I go back? I'll put together a list of top food spots and send them to you.""Sure," Ivan readily agreed. "After going home from the Ford residence, did Blake trouble you?"Yasmin shook her head and said, "No."Blake merely gave her the cold shoulder. He didn't do anything else.…On the other hand, Blake went to Newphoria Bay. No one was there.He frowned a little. He walked out of the villa and instructed Malcolm, "Find out where Mrs. Ford is."Meanwhile, Yas
Yasmin immediately halted in her tracks. Her eyes reddened.Blake knew why Yasmin was upset. Despite that, he didn't clear things up but accused her unfairly.They had given each other the silent treatment for five days.As soon as Blake returned, he didn't apologize or give her any explanation. Instead, he immediately put the fault on Yasmin.Yasmin was disheartened. It sparked her defiant side. She screamed at Blake, "I didn't ask you to pick me up. Why are you here? I don't want to see you!"His face fell. "So, am I the one making a fool out of myself here?""That's right! You're an idiot. Why did you show up? Scram!" Yasmin scolded harshly. She then turned and walked away.Blake's expression turned cold.Malcolm stood at the side and zipped his mouth. Who would have thought Blake would be told to scram? Even the head of the Ford family, Arthur, never said such harsh words to Blake.Yasmin had a stubborn temper. No one could hold her back.With teary eyes, Yasmin pursed he
Blake still refused to open up.Yasmin looked at his well-defined features. The longer she stared at him, the more disheartened she felt. "I thought you were so thoughtful that you even got me milk. Turns out you were drugging me with sleeping pills. When I passed out, you would extract my blood for Elise. "That's the truth, and you still said it won't affect me. Will you do the same thing to me again when Elise needs blood? Are you going to knock me out to take my blood for her?"As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.She pitied her fate. Just because she fell for him, she was being used without mercy.On the surface, he pretended to treat her well. In reality, it was solely due to her rare blood type. Seeing his silence, she felt dejected. She pushed open the door to chase him away. "Leave. I have found out about everything, and I won't forgive you. Just go."Yasmin felt a sharp pain in her heart. However, Blake stood on the spot without budging.She walked over to mo
That night, Blake waited for Yasmin in the yard.When Yasmin went upstairs to draw the curtains, she saw Blake's towering figure leaning against his car. With the withered leaves falling next to him, it gave off a sense of loneliness.He smoked in the yard. Under the dim light, she couldn't see his facial expression.In fact, he rarely smoked. However, he kept smoking one after another that night. His face exuded a melancholic air.On the next day, when Yasmin woke up, Blake was nowhere to be found. She had no idea when he had left. Anyways, she couldn't care less about that.Stuart would be discharged that day.Yasmin didn't want to meet Stuart with a tired look. So, she sat in front of her dressing table and put on some light makeup. Afterward, she hopped into a cab and headed out.In the cab, she saw the news—Windmere Group's investment in medical research had succeeded!The medicine's launch event would kickstart at 9:00 am.Blake had put on a suit. The lonely air around h
Yasmin didn't know what to say.At that moment, a deep voice sounded behind them. "No, Grandma. Yasmin and I just had a small argument previously, but we've made amends."Everyone turned around. They saw the tall and handsome Blake at the entrance of the villa. He was dressed in the same suit he was wearing at the launch event that morning. With that, he exuded a refined aura and outstanding charm.Yasmin was surprised. Didn't Blake go to work? Why did he suddenly come back?Blake walked toward Yasmin and gently held her hand.Yasmin was annoyed. However, she didn't shake off Blake's hand because Stuart and Emelda were around.Seeing that they had reconciled, Emelda was delighted. "That's fantastic. I was planning to have a chat with Yasmin earlier. "I don't want to lose such an outstanding grandson-in-law. Where else can I find one?"Blake put Yasmin in his arms. He flashed an elegant smile. "Don't worry, Grandma. Yasmin and I won't divorce."Emelda was overjoyed. On the f
The document was put on the table.Emelda skimmed through it. She then smiled at Yasmin and said, "Blake is quite generous, Yasmin. With this contract, Stuart is set for the rest of his life."Yasmin felt conflicted. "Stop looking at it, Grandma. Dad might not accept it.""Why not? That's Blake's wedding gift to you. It isn't inappropriate to accept it."Moreover, Starr Corporation is Stuart's life's work. Since he has recovered, he should get back to running it. We don't want him to hunt for jobs at his age, right? He's already 50 years old."Hearing this, Yasmin fell silent.She naturally didn't want Stuart to spend the rest of his life in hardship.However, she was troubled. Those were things she couldn't get over. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to forget them.…Upstairs, Stuart pushed the study door open. The room was just like how it was two years ago. He was surprised at first, but he then felt warm and fuzzy inside.Yasmin knew Stuart well.
Acting on impulse, Yasmin suddenly shook her hand loose. "Of course I'm angry."Which woman wouldn't be angry to be treated like that?Yasmin couldn't face him calmly and reasonably, so she said coldly, "Go home. My dad was discharged today, and I don't want to be sad. Go home. We'll talk about this another time.""But your dad asked me to stay for dinner."Yasmin frowned. "He wants to accept your gift?""After all, Starr Corporation held his hopes and dreams. It's his life's work," Blake replied airily.Yasmin didn't know what to say to that. There was disappointment and indignance in her eyes.She didn't want her father to suffer in the future.But she also felt that she would be forever indebted to Blake if her father accepted his present.The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt, and she couldn't stop herself from crying. "Why are you crying?" Blake saw her crying and went to hug her. He gently wiped away her tears.Yasmin wiped her nose and said between sobs,
Yasmin frowned. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?""I didn't know how to tell you. I did take your blood." Blake came closer to her and held her shoulders while he explained gently, "I felt remorseful about doing this a year ago. That's why I was good to you. I was good to you not because I wanted to use your blood to save Elise, but because I felt sorry for you and wanted to treat you better."Yasmin was speechless. She looked up at him. "So you fell in love with me one year ago?""Yes." Blake nodded. This time, he didn't conceal his love. "I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you the first time I met you."Yasmin was stunned. She never expected this. "You never thought of leaving me?""You're so silly. If we had divorced, other men would definitely bully you. How could I bear to see you suffering outside?" Blake kissed her lips gently.Yasmin looked up at his incomparably handsome face.Blake stared at Yasmin until she blushed a little. She didn't know what to say and gru
