Blake's face hardened, his tone becoming frigid. "What's going on with you? You said not to buy that jewelry, so we didn't buy it. You didn't want dinner, so we all came back without eating. I tried to appease you, but you wouldn't listen. What exactly do you want?"Yasmin pursed her lips and didn't speak. She was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.From Blake's words, it seemed like they were all accommodating her, and she was the one causing trouble.Indeed, that's what it appeared like. Elise spoke pitifully, while Yasmin had a bad temper—like an unreasonable and shrewish woman.Even if she questioned him, she couldn't get any answers. Earlier, Elise had already made it seem like she was jealous and suspicious of them.In the end, she could only say, "Fine. I have a bad temper, okay? Let go, I want to take a bath and go to sleep.""Let's talk.""I don't want to talk to you right now." Yasmin's face was expressionless.Blake's gaze deepened.Yasmin said, "So, it's ok
"Blake is the closest person to me in this world. Now that you're married to Blake, I hope you can be kinder to him. The misunderstanding last night made me unable to sleep well, so I got up early to make breakfast for both of you, hoping to get your forgiveness..."Yasmin felt like a fly was buzzing around her ear. She couldn't take it anymore and slapped Elise.A crisp sound echoed in the air.Elise fell to the ground. The breakfast was scattered everywhere."Elise!" Blake's voice rang out.Yasmin's face turned pale as she looked over and saw Blake walking out of the adjacent bedroom, bending down to check on Elise.So he was standing behind the door just now.Elise probably saw Blake, so she deliberately said those words to provoke her."Blakey, I'm fine." Elise covered her face, her eyes filled with unshed tears as she tried to hold back her emotions.Blake pressed his lips together and looked at Yasmin, his eyes darkening.Yasmin stood rigidly in place.From Blake's eye
Yasmin said, "No, I just don't want to go back.""You don't want to see Elise?""That's right," Yasmin admitted bluntly. She didn't want to interact with Elise in any way.Blake turned his head and stared at her coldly. "You hit Elise so hard that she had to be hospitalized, yet she didn't blame you. And now you're saying you don't want to see her?""I just slapped her once. How could she possibly be hospitalized?" Yasmin looked at him incredulously."She had been in a coma for several years and only recently woke up. Her health was already poor, and now she's in the hospital receiving a blood transfusion."Yasmin pursed her lips.Blake instructed, "Go apologize to her."A feeling of suffocation surged in Yasmin's heart. "I won't go."She turned on her heel and walked toward the road to hail a cab, refusing to even ride in Tyler's car.Blake's face was icy as he got out of the car.Yasmin raised her hand to call for a cab.Just then, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a stro
Yasmin looked at both of their faces. Stuart's was full of worry, while Emelda's was fearful.Their family had just gotten back together, so Emelda didn't want Yasmin to offend Blake.Yasmin understood Emelda's gaze and was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I just came back to have a meal with you guys. I'll return after eating."Stuart sighed in relief.Emelda also patted her chest and said, "Yasmin, Blake has helped our family a lot. Be nicer to him and give in to him more."Yasmin lowered her gaze and remained silent.During the meal, Emelda kept nagging, telling her to control her temper and not always argue with Blake.Yasmin didn't want to listen. She quickly finished her meal and headed to the backyard.Stuart followed her out and stood beside her, asking, "Did something happen?"Yasmin shook her head. "No."Stuart knew that she didn't want to talk, so he stood for a while before saying, "This is what marriage is like. There will often be small conflicts. If you
Yasmin was eventually caught by the three ruffians and pinned to the ground.Her pale face came into the three men's view, and each of them had a look of surprise in their eyes.In the dark of night, they had only noticed her good figure—but now realized her face was even more beautiful, mesmerizingly so.The three men exchanged glances and surrounded Yasmin."Cutie, why did you run? We're not bad guys. We just think you're beautiful and want to be friends with you." One of the ruffians reached out to touch her face.Yasmin was holding a handful of mud. When the man got close, she immediately smeared it in his eyes."Ah!" The man cried out in pain and let go of her.Yasmin immediately pulled her legs close and ran.The other two ruffians reacted quickly and caught up with her. They grabbed her and twisted her arms behind her back, tying her up with a jacket.Yasmin couldn't move and was pushed to the ground.She turned her head and glared fiercely at the two ruffians like a v
Blake asked, "How is she?""Other than the swelling on one side of her face, there are no other injuries. She should be fine," the female doctor replied.Blake let out a sigh of relief. His gaze fell on her swollen cheek. Her skin was so fair that even a single slap left a noticeable mark.Blake's heart twinged with regret. This was the first time he let her go alone, and she was met with misfortune.If he had known this would happen, he would never have left her alone tonight—no matter what.He worried endlessly. After the female doctor left, he turned to Malcolm and said, "Make sure those three get their punishment. Break their hands and legs, then send them to prison."His face was tense.Malcolm replied, "Yes."After Malcolm left, Blake walked to her bedside and brushed her messy hair away from her face. He carefully examined her injured cheek.It was quite swollen. The doctor had already applied medicine.Blake quietly looked at her face, afraid that her hair would tou
Yasmin remained silent.Blake sighed and said, "Those pricks who hurt you last night had their hands and feet broken and were sent to prison."Yasmin's eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at him. After a while, she said, "Thank you."He had saved her, so she should express her gratitude.Blake pressed his lips together. He hugged her and said, "You don't need to thank me. I'm your husband, so I should protect you."Yasmin fell silent again. Clearly, she didn't want to talk to him.Blake could only pat her head and say, "Alright, I'll order breakfast for you. What would you like to eat? Shall I decide?"Yasmin still ignored him, her delicate face looked cold and expressionless.Blake had no choice but to arrange it himself.Breakfast was delivered quickly. Blake and Yasmin sat in the ward and ate together."Have some scrambled eggs." Blake placed the eggs in front of her.Yasmin glanced at him. He smiled and said, "Don't you love scrambled eggs?"She didn't speak and started
"My legs are weak," Yasmin said."Your legs are weak?" Blake's long fingers massaged her legs. "Where exactly? Should I call the doctor in to check on you?""No, I'm not injured. I just sat on my legs for too long and they went numb.""Poor posture," Blake remarked. "I've told you before, you should sit with both feet on the ground. Don't sit on them or cross your legs."Yasmin kept her head down and didn't speak.Blake looked at her for a while, then explained, "I'm not scolding you, I'm telling you that those bad habits are not good for your body."He spoke to her in a soft and gentle tone.Yasmin looked up at him.He softened his voice and said, "Starting today, Tyler will pick you up and drop you off from work. It's dangerous for you to drive or take a cab alone. You're not allowed to go out alone from now on."Blake's words were a command but also a show of concern.Yasmin could feel his worry for her. Her anger slowly subsided, but she still felt a little aggrieved.Af
