The incident with Eunice was left at that.The days that followed passed peacefully. Yasmin eventually tried on her wedding dress. The waistline was a bit too tight, so she had it sent back for alterations.Yasmin found it strange. Her waistline hadn't changed over the past two years, but it was expanding this year. Perhaps it was because she had eaten too much lately, and she had gained a lot of weight.Eunice's wedding dress fit perfectly and didn't need any adjustments.Soon, it was five days before the end of the year.Erinnyes closed for the holidays, and Eunice's wedding day arrived.On the morning of the wedding, Eunice arranged for someone to deliver the bridesmaid dress to Yasmin. It was a light blue tulle dress.Yasmin tried it on at home, and the strapless tulle dress made her look fair and beautiful.Blake glanced over, his gaze falling on her chest. With furrowed brows, he asked, "Do you have to wear this?""What's wrong with it?" Yasmin's gaze shifted from
"Eunice," Yasmin called as she walked over to her friend.Eunice was wearing a hair wreath. When she saw Yasmin, she smiled. "Yasmin, you look beautiful today.""You look even more beautiful!" Yasmin complimented her. The two chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly.Later, Eunice's mother, Diana, came over and called Yasmin to the banquet hall. She requested that Yasmin assist with registering guests. "Aren't you Blake's wife?" A pleasant voice came from above her.Yasmin looked up in her seat.Mortimer stood in front of her, wearing a black suit. He had a faint smile on his lips, looking very casual.Yasmin remembered this man. That day, she was wearing a fox costume when she bumped into Joel and him.She felt a little embarrassed. She asked with an awkward smile, "Hello, and you are?""I'm Blake's friend, Mortimer Sullivan," he said with a chuckle."Hello, I'm Yasmin Starr." Yasmin introduced herself, then accepted the gift he handed her. It was a little heavy. She
At 7:30 pm, the wedding was set to begin.However, Blake had not yet arrived.Yasmin glanced at the main entrance, her expression downcast at his absence.She sighed and looked to the main stage instead.Colin was already standing on stage. He was dressed in a black groom's suit, quietly waiting for Eunice to make her appearance.But after ten minutes, Eunice had not yet come out.The guests were becoming restless. Yasmin saw Diana walking onto the stage to talk to Colin, concern mirrored on both their faces.Yasmin walked up to them both and asked, "Mrs. Salle, what's going on?"Diana said anxiously, "Eunice is missing.""Missing?" Yasmin looked at Colin in confusion.Colin's face was gloomy. "I don't know. She was fine while doing her makeup. I don't know where she's gone.""Her phone is turned off. We can't get through at all." Diana's face was full of worry. "Eunice, where have you gone? She's driving me crazy!"Colin assured, "Mrs. Salle, don't worry too much. Let's go
Yasmin and Ivan searched for Eunice in the hotel, unaware that Brian was standing in the corner, smiling as he snapped a few photos of them....Blake had just come out of the restroom and returned to the private dining room. Elise put his phone down as he approached."What are you doing?" Blake's eyes fixed on her, his tone a little questioning.Elise answered sincerely, "Blakey, when you went to the restroom just now, Yasmin called. I asked her if she needed you to answer the call, and she said no."Blake went to the hospital at 5:00 pm to pick Elise up after her discharge.When they reached the entrance of the hospital, she suddenly said she was starving and felt dizzy.He was afraid she might have low blood sugar, so he took her to a nearby restaurant to eat.Blake sat down and checked his phone. Indeed, there was a call log from Yasmin. He gently told Elise, "Don't touch my phone next time.""Got it," Elise obediently replied.Blake picked up his phone and was about to c
Yasmin didn't want to talk to Blake. She walked into the master bedroom and closed the door.Blake's expression changed. He held the door open, not allowing her to close it. "You get upset when I ask you a few questions?"Yasmin took a deep breath and said indifferently, "I'm tired and want to sleep. Don't come looking for a fight."She was never good with words and could never win arguments, so she decided to stay silent. Blake could do whatever he wanted with Elise. She didn't want to think about it anymore. Caring too much would only infuriate her.Of course, she wouldn't let herself harbor feelings for him anymore. She couldn't run away from him or risk offending him, but at the very least, she could ignore him."Who's fighting with you?" Blake stared at her coldly and then pulled her toward him.Yasmin was exhausted, and his sudden pull made her bump into him, causing her to cry out in pain.She felt aggrieved and looked at her feet. "I really don't want to fight with you
It was past 2:30 pm when Blake called her.Yasmin was silent for a moment before answering."Aren't you coming to try on your wedding dress?" Blake asked her over the phone.The bridal company must have informed him. Blake was currently at the bridal company, but after waiting for half an hour, Yasmin still hadn't shown up.Yasmin didn't answer and instead asked, "How is Elise?""She said she felt dizzy last night, so I took her to the hospital.""Then what about after she's discharged? Will you continue taking care of her? Will you keep sending her to the hospital every time something happens, regardless of everything else?"Blake was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I can't ignore her."Yasmin laughed and said bitterly, "Blake, I'm not coming. You should go back."His answer disappointed her so much that Yasmin decided against taking wedding photos and having the wedding. If they proceeded with the wedding, they wouldn't be happy."You're not coming? What do
When Eunice saw the photos, she was trembling with anger. And so she went to confront Colin.But on her way there, she heard heavy breathing coming from a nearby lounge. She pushed open the door and was shocked to see Colin and Rebecca having sex.Colin was saying to Rebecca, "I never liked her pretentious attitude. She wouldn't even hold my hand. You're much better, you make me feel so good.""Then why don't you break up with her?" Rebecca moaned with pleasure at his touch.Colin thrust forcefully as he spoke, "It's because of the shares she holds. My dad said that if I married her, we could drug her to screw her up mentally. Once she's rendered useless, we can inherit her shares and send her to a mental hospital. Rebecca, once I gain those shares, I'll bring you home for sure.""Colin, you're so good to me." Rebecca wrapped herself around him like a snake.Eunice felt so disgusted by the scene that she almost vomited.As it turns out, Colin had pursued her since college and tr
At the thought of this, Eunice painfully held her head. "Damn it! I shouldn't have drunk so much last night..."She tugged at her hair, her expression filled with pain.After waking up in the morning, she immediately regretted what had happened. How could she have been so foolish? Just to take Mortimer down a peg, she came up with such an absurd idea.However, Mortimer seemed to have enjoyed it. After leaving in the morning, he texted her in the afternoon to ask her out for dinner.He seemed to assume that they were now in a friends-with-benefits relationship.In a fit of anger, Eunice sent a lengthy message berating him—basically telling him that she was out of his league, and he shouldn't dare to aim for the moon!"So, you two hooked up last night, then got into a fight this morning?" Yasmin asked after listening to the whole story."Yes!" Eunice was still tugging at her hair, saying regretfully, "How could I have been so stupid!"She even lost her virginity to him.She
