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
These were all her regrets. So when her grandmother asked about a second wedding, she subconsciously looked at Blake.Blake glanced at Yasmin and saw the disappointment and longing in her eyes. He smiled and said, "Sure. The wedding two years ago was done so sloppily. It's time for us to have a proper wedding."Upon hearing this, Yasmin felt a jolt of joy.Stuart looked happy too. He had not been able to attend his daughter's wedding, and it had been a painful thing for him. Now that they could have another one, Stuart felt like he could die in peace. "Then we have to quickly prepare for the wedding," Emelda told Yasmin.Yasmin was lost in thought and didn't react."Yasmin," Stuart said. "Grandma's talking to you."Yasmin snapped back to reality and blinked. "Grandma, what did you say?""I said that since you're planning to have another wedding, you should start preparing now. I'll contact the fortune-teller to choose an auspicious date tomorrow. What do you think?" Emelda ask
Yasmin yelped in pain and smacked his shoulder. "Don't do this in front of my house. My father might catch us.""He'd only say that we love each other deeply if he caught us." Blake smiled and deepened the kiss.He started french kissing her.Yasmin felt that he was too bold and pushed his chest. "We'll get caught!""Let's get caught then." Blake was very thick-skinned. He lifted her jaw and kissed her even more deeply.Yasmin was losing her sense of direction and weakened like jelly in his arms. Her face was flaming red.After he had finished kissing her, he leaned his forehead against her head and said huskily, "You can only stay here for three days. After that, you must come home."His hot breath on her face made her a bit breathless. She said softly, "I want to stay longer.""No." He flatly refused. "What would I do if you stayed here for a week?"After he said that, he caressed her.The audacity of this man!Finally, a reaction!Yasmin blushed and looked at him in a bl
"No," Yasmin refused."Don't want me to stay here? Do you hate me that much?""I don't hate you. I'm afraid of you." Blake's countenance was too strong, and people had to act according to his moods.Yasmin didn't want her family to be uncomfortable.Furthermore, she sensed some tension between him and her Dad. Although they tried to put up a united front, there seemed to be a wall between them.Yasmin said coquettishly, "I don't want my family to be uncomfortable. It's fine for me to live with you. Even with your cold personality, I am thick-skinned enough to come close to you.""You were pretty thick-skinned," Blake teased.Yasmin didn't like that triumphant look on his face. She huffed and deliberately slid her hand down his leg. "Now you're the thick-skinned one!"Her small hand pressed down hard.Blake let out a low moan, and his eyes flickered dangerously.Yasmin felt like his intense gaze could swallow her whole. She quickly ran away. "Goodbye, Mr. B, I'm going home! Be
She hadn't told Eunice about the fight.Eunice smiled and said, "Of course, it's written all over your face."Eunice hadn't asked, but that didn't mean she couldn't read Yasmin's expression.Yasmin was a little embarrassed. "We fought the day before yesterday, and I gave him the cold shoulder. But we're good now.""Why did both of you fight?"Yasmin told her everything that had happened over the last few days.Eunice frowned and punched Yasmin lightly on the shoulder. "Some friend you are! Keeping all these things from me.""These are relationship issues, and I didn't want to always bother you with them. Wouldn't you feel annoyed after listening to matters of my relationship all the time?"Eunice huffed. "I wouldn't. I'm willing to share the burden with my best friend.""Eunice, don't be mad…" Yasmin pleaded.Eunice couldn't help but smile and said teasingly, "Then you need to make it up to me.""What do you want me to do?""I'm getting married soon. You design my wedding d
Yasmin then realized that Blake had called because she had not replied to Blake's message when he asked her where she was via text."At The Western Star.""I'll come over," Blake said.Yasmin was stunned. "You're done with work? I thought you were working overtime today?""You really want me to work overtime?" Blake didn't sound too happy. It seemed as if Yasmin didn't want him to go over.Yasmin didn't want him to come because she was discussing private stuff with her best friend.But she was afraid of upsetting him, so she said, "It's not that.""Wait for me," Blake said before ending the call."Blake?" Eunice asked."Yeah, he wants to come here."Eunice teased, "It looks like this man is really clingy when it comes to dating."Yasmin laughed. "He's okay. He's always been cold and emotionless. But now, he knows how to send messages to check up on me. He used to ignore me when I did that.""You've got him wrapped around your little finger!" Yasmin blushed but had no come
