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
When Yasmin woke up, it was already evening. Her stomach was growling with hunger.She opened her eyes, only to find herself embraced in a warm hug. Blake's strong chest pressed against her, his voice tinged with a pleasant laugh as he said, "Mrs. Ford, are you awake?"In a daze, Yasmin turned to look at him and was a little surprised. "You didn't go to work?" Her voice was soft and lazy."You had me hooked, and now I'm not a morning person anymore." Blake laughed. He then leaned over and kissed her cheek. He put his arms around her waist possesively.Yasmin didn't resist, and after being kissed for a while, she whined, "I want to eat. I'm so hungry.""Okay." He couldn't help but smile. He pinched her little face and helped her sit up.Only when she sat up did she realize that her whole body was weak, so she leaned back on the pillow and said lazily, "I'm too tired. Mr. B, can you carry me down?"She acted coquettishly.Blake, who was dressing himself, raised an eyebrow at
"No, we're going to have a wedding ceremony," Blake replied calmly.Elise was confused. "But... aren't you already married?""We weren't very satisfied with the previous ceremony, so we want to do it again on a larger scale," Blake explained.Elise bit her lower lip and took a moment to compose herself before asking softly, "When will the wedding take place?""In March," Blake answered.Elise calculated the time in her mind. It was currently January, so their wedding was just two months away.She looked at Blake's cold and noble profile, not saying another word.Yasmin noticed Elise was distraught and couldn't help feeling a little pleased.After dinner, Yasmin ignored Elise completely. She held Blake's arm and leaned into his embrace. "Mr. B, will you accompany me for a walk in the garden?""You haven't applied your medication yet. I'll go upstairs and get it for you," Blake said as he went up to the second floor.Yasmin waited for him at the door.Elise walked up to her, s
