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
If she made that phone call today, she would not be worthy of being Eunice's friend.Despite not having called Eunice, it was Eunice who reached out first. After all, Eunice was the one who pulled Elise, so she naturally had to ask about the situation.She called Yasmin as soon as she got off work. "Yaz, how's that woman?" Yasmin stood at the entrance of the hospital, biting her lip and not speaking."Is it serious?" Eunice was distressed. "If I had known she was so frail, I wouldn't have touched her."Yasmin didn't know what to say.Eunice continued, "Which hospital are you at? Is Blake there? What did he say? Do I need to apologize to Elise and pay for her medical expenses?""Eunice..." Yasmin couldn't help but call out to her friend.Eunice took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I did this. She fainted, so I have to take responsibility. I'll go to the hospital and talk to her. Even if I have to go to jail for it, I will—""Eunice," Yasmin interrupted her. "Are we friends
Blake looked at her. "I'm making things difficult for you? Didn't you say that you hate me, find me bothersome, and don't want to see me?""I did say those things, but I only said them out of anger! Unlike you, who deliberately made things hard for me because of what I said. You give me the cold shoulder and ignore me when I plead with you. You know exactly why I'm now dressed like this, but you're still playing dumb and saying hurtful things!" Yasmin cried pitifully, struggling in his embrace. "Let go of me."Blake didn't let go and pinned her against the door instead, gazing at her intently. "I'm trying to tame your temper. You throw tantrums, refuse to come home and act unreasonably every day. How can we live like this?"Yasmin glared at him resentfully. "You don't even understand my feelings.""What feelings?" Blake asked her.She was angry, but she wasn't just throwing a tantrum for no reason. Yasmin couldn't put it into words.She hated Elise, but Elise was good at acti
After he finished speaking, he kissed her passionately. Yasmin no longer had the strength to resist and gave in to him....When Yasmin woke up again, it was already daylight.Blake had awoken before her. He gently touched her nose before getting out of bed quietly.Yasmin was awake, though. Looking at his handsome face, she said sleepily, "You woke up so early.""Yeah," he replied happily. He usually felt good after they spent the night together. "What would you like for breakfast? I'll have Mary make it for you."Yasmin was held firmly in his arms. Lifting her head to look at his face, she replied, "Anything is fine.""How about I ask Mary to make you some smoked salmon and dill omelet?""Okay." Yasmin agreed. Seeing him about to leave, she pulled his hand and said, "Mr. B, Eunice—""Forget about it." Blake looked at her fair face and couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.Yasmin felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was glad that he no longer insisted on Eunice apo
