"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
Yasmin didn't want to talk to Giselle, so she detoured to avoid her.But Giselle wouldn't let her off. She walked over and blocked her. "Did you see the news? They've invented the cure for Elise, and she'll soon be awake."Yasmin looked at Giselle, who was obviously trying to keep a straight face. But Yasmin could see the resentment in her eyes.Giselle was trying to stir up trouble again.Giselle continued, "When Elise wakes up, you won't have any value anymore. Blake will toss you aside.""But, Mr. B said that we'll be having a wedding," Yasmin said jovially, deliberately aggravating her.Giselle scowled and her gaze became piercing. "Blake wants to marry you? How can it be? He loves Elise.""Of course not!" Yasmin smiled, enjoying Giselle's crestfallen expression as she continued to provoke her."No way!" As expected, Giselle started getting anxious. Giselle couldn't bear to see Yasmin living a good life and wanted to hurt her. Giselle's voice hardened and turned malicious
With those parting words, Yasmin left.At the end of the corridor, she realized Blake was standing there.She didn't know how long he had been standing there listening.Yasmin was stunned. "You saw everything?" she asked him."Yes." Blake nodded. He had wanted to go to her aid, but he heard her sharp words, so he hadn't gone."Giselle told you about Elise?" Blake asked gently, holding Yasmin's hand.Yasmin nodded with a grunt.Giselle heard this from afar. She called out in a trembling voice, "Blake…""You're still the same even after such a long time. A leopard finds it hard to change its spots," Blake's gaze was mocking.Giselle was hurt by what he said. With a pale face, she said, "I did it because I hated you. I hated your heartlessness toward me.""I never loved you. Where did the heartlessness come from?" Blake asked, his eyes cold.Giselle gripped the hem of her skirt and asked in a low voice, "Why? What did I do wrong? I never crossed you, and I'm more well-behaved t
"We met a detestable person." Yasmin sat down with Blake. "Mr. B, have you had your dinner? If not, let's eat dinner together.""I haven't had dinner." Blake looked at all the red-colored food on the table—beef tenderloin, mini lobsters, spicy tuna, amongst others. He frowned and said, "Yasmin, have you forgotten about your weak stomach? Aren't you afraid of food poisoning if you eat all these?"Yasmin felt a bit guilty. "I don't eat it all the time. Just sometimes.""There are too many spicy dishes. Order some light courses." Blake looked at the menu and ordered a few more dishes.Eunice, sitting opposite them, saw Blake controlling Yasmin. Surprised, she asked Yasmin, "You're so scared of him?""I'm not scared, but I have been having some stomach issues recently." Yasmin had been feeling nauseous in the mornings these days. She touched her stomach and said, "It's fine. I'll feel better after eating some spice."But Mr. B wouldn't be happy if she ate too much spicy food.As
In fact, her father might not have made it out at all.So, instead of hating Blake, Yasmin instead felt that everything had happened according to fate. Everything had worked out well. Blake returned her feelings, her father's innocence had been proved, and the Starr Corporation survived with Blake's help. Otherwise, her father would still be stuck in jail. Although Caleb had reported Stuart, he hadn't done anything wrong.Yasmin rested her head on Blake's shoulder and murmured, "I'm so grateful…"Blake hugged her warm body tighter, feeling content. "Let's have another wedding and spend the rest of our lives together."Spend the rest of their lives together?Was Blake confessing to her?Yasmin blinked, her face lighting up. "Sure!"Blake smiled and leaned over to kiss her.Soon, the two of them became entangled in a passionate kiss inside the car. Yasmin didn't put up any resistance. Instead, her hands clung onto his shoulders as she felt her body heating up. After some
"Then shall I ask the fortune-teller to prepare the wedding invitations tomorrow?""Okay." Yasmin nodded before asking, "Has Victor and his family left?""Yeah. Do you dislike them?" Earlier, Stuart had noticed his daughter's unhappy expression. Yasmin paused to think before replying, "I'm not a fan of them."Stuart had just recovered, and Yasmin didn't want to upset him by bringing up the past.Stuart cooed, "Don't be like this. Victor is my brother. Grandma won't be happy if you keep scowling at him.""But I didn't say anything." Yasmin thought she was already being quite generous by staying silent. Stuart, having no idea what had happened between Yasmin and that family, said, "Victor told me he's getting old and still can't find a job, so he wants to come back to work at Starr Corporation."Warning signs flashed in her mind as she raised her head and looked at Stuart. "Is this Grandma's idea?"Stuart knew his daughter was smart.He nodded before saying, "She kept crying
