"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
Yasmin watched from the side, wanting to roll her eyes.Elise really knew how to put on a show.Blake watched Elise's figure disappear into the distance, pursing his lips.Yasmin noticed his expression and snorted coldly, "What? Feeling sorry for her?""I didn't say anything, did I?" Blake showed a helpless expression, then asked, "Do you still need to apply the medicine?"Yasmin didn't speak. Blake pulled her to the sofa, lifted her delicate face, and applied some medicine for her."Don't get so worked up over little things. You should manage your temper." He finished applying the medicine, staring at her intently with a much softer look in his eyes.Yasmin pouted."Didn't I say I'll arrange a teacher and some maids for her? She'll have company from now on.""Alright." Yasmin knew that if she continued to make a fuss, she would just be making trouble for no reason. Thus, she didn't say anything more.Blake asked, "Are we still going for a walk in the garden?""Let's go."Y
"Yasmin, move!" Blake pushed Yasmin out of the way.Yasmin's leg hit the edge of the shoe cabinet, causing her to wince in pain.She turned around and saw Blake holding Elise's hand. His face was cold and stern. "Elise, there are no bad people here. Give me the scissors and don't do anything rash.""No! She's a bad person. I want to kill her!" Elise struggled desperately.Blake furrowed his brows and snatched the scissors from her hand. He then held her hands tightly and carried her upstairs. "Maria, call Dr. Sawyer to come over."Maria, who was Elise's maid, immediately left upon receiving the order.Yasmin leaned against the couch downstairs, watching as Blake carried Elise up to the second floor while she continued to struggle."Blakey, let me go! I want to kill that bad person. Otherwise, she'll bully me every night!" Elise cried hysterically.Blake's face darkened. Despite her struggles, he dragged her into the master bedroom and wrapped her up with a comforter.After a w
After taking a shower, Blake climbed into bed and embraced Yasmin from behind.As soon as he wrapped his arms around her, Yasmin woke up. Her delicate face showed no expression as she asked in the darkness, "How is she?""You're awake?" Blake's voice came from behind her.Yasmin said softly while in his embrace, "You woke me up.""She's taken her medication and is fine now." Blake held her tightly and kissed her soft hair.Yasmin showed no emotion and asked, "Is she really sick?"Blake paused for a moment, his voice deepening as he questioned, "Do you think she's faking it?""How could it happen so suddenly? She was fine during dinner, but as soon as she heard about our wedding plans, she had an episode right away."Blake was silent for a moment before speaking softly, "She lost control because she didn't take her medication on time.""Is that so?" Yasmin didn't seem convinced and asked seriously, "Then what are you going to do? Keep taking care of her like this?""At least u
"I know, Blakey. I'm useless, aren't I? I have this strange illness and have become a burden to you and Yasmin..." Elise sounded increasingly pitiful as she spoke. Her tears flowed ceaselessly.Blake felt helpless and handed her a tissue. "It's not your fault. No one wants to be sick. Don't think too much about it," he comforted her. "Okay." Elise nodded and asked sadly, "Blakey, you won't leave me, right?""No, I won't."Yasmin came downstairs at that moment and happened to overhear their conversation.In the morning glow, she glanced over to find the man standing tall and strikingly handsome. The woman with him was delicate and pure. She asked him not to leave her, and he made her a promise.Yasmin's heart turned cold.She didn't want to be upset, but she felt suffocated. Yasmin didn't feel like eating anymore, so she grabbed her bag and prepared to go to work."Yasmin." Blake looked up and saw her. She was changing her shoes at the door, obviously about to leave.Yasmi
Blake bit down on her bottom lip—as if punishing her."Let me go!" Yasmin felt extremely aggrieved and struggled against his hold.Why did he punish her just because he was unhappy?What had she done wrong?In this case, Blake was the one at fault!Her heart swelled with anger. She forcefully shoved him backward, but he grabbed both her hands and restrained them behind her back.Yasmin was forced to arch her body back. Blake kissed her again, swallowing her words before they even left her mouth.Yasmin was furious. She couldn't push him away, so she kicked him like a mad cat.But the difference in strength between a man and a woman meant that she couldn't break free from him at all. Her heart was filled with anger and discomfort, so she bit his tongue fiercely."Ah!" Blake felt the pain and released her. A trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.Yasmin looked at him hatefully and blurted out, "Blake, you're a lunatic, a pervert. I hate you!""What did you say? Y
"Who's your sister-in-law? Don't just go around claiming family ties willy-nilly," Eunice mocked her.Elise said calmly, "Yasmin is my sister-in-law."She looked at Yasmin and said earnestly, "Yasmin, I want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday."Yasmin didn't want to deal with her, so she reached out to pull Eunice's hand. "Forget it, don't waste your time with her.""You stay out of this." Eunice pulled her hand away from Yasmin. Eunice then walked up to Elise, sizing her up. "You look weak and innocent, but your mind is filled with wicked intentions. Calling Blake and Yasmin your brother and sister-in-law; you're nothing but a hussy trying to lure Blake away, aren't you?"Elise's face changed. She weakly said, "I didn't, don't accuse me.""You didn't? Then why are you clinging to Blake? You and Blake are not blood-related. You're an adult capable of living independently. Why do you insist on staying by Blake and Yasmin's side? You simply can't stand seeing them ha
Yasmin's gaze suddenly turned cold.That said, Blake's face was even colder. "What else did she say?"Maria added, "She said that Ms. Fletcher is clinging to you because she wants to seduce you and drive a wedge between you and Mrs. Ford. That she has ill intentions..."After hearing these words, Blake looked at Yasmin with a dark and cold expression. "Did Eunice say all this?"Yasmin stood motionless at the door. Her face was pale, but she couldn't say anything.Eunice had indeed said those things, but she didn't know Elise would be so fragile. All it took for her to faint was a little pull."Tell her to come and apologize," Blake said to Yasmin.Yasmin clenched her fists. Of course, she didn't want Eunice to come and apologize. Eunice had just stood up for her. If Eunice came to apologize to Elise, how would Yasmin face her in the future?Moreover, Yasmin always felt that Elise was intentionally causing trouble. She knew Yasmin didn't like her, yet she still came to provoke
