At this point, Blake couldn't restrain himself any longer. So, he tugged Yasmin's hand and forcefully guided her to untie his bandage. And once it was removed, he took possession of her....Yasmin woke up at dawn with her body covered in hickeys. Meanwhile, Blake's arm was wrapped around her waist as he was sleeping deeply.Yasmin looked at his handsome face and felt a complicated mix of emotions.The night before, things somehow got out of control. It was dangerous for a man and woman to be alone together. After all, the hormones could easily make attraction bloom and lead to infatuation.Even the air still seemed to hold the lingering scent of their passion.Yasmin blushed and wanted to get up. But just then, Blake woke up as well."Waking up so early?" Blake smiled and tried to lean in to kiss Yasmin.Yasmin's expression shifted, and she raised her hand to block him. "No more kissing. Hurry back to your place before my dad wakes up and finds you here.""Are you tha
"What are you two talking about?" Stuart walked over with the sauce. "Yaz, here's some blueberry sauce. It's your favorite." He placed the blueberry sauce in front of Yasmin.Yasmin quickly put on a smile. "Thanks, Dad.""Spread some blueberry sauce on the bread for Blakey." Stuart gave her a look.Stuart was actually calling Blake "Blakey"? Yasmin felt that it was a bit strange. Then, she heard Stuart ask Blake, "Blakey, what do you do for a living?"Blake's handsome face was expressionless as he replied, "I'm an executive at a company.""An executive? Your pay must be pretty good then." Stuart nodded. "You're a good match for Yaz."Yasmin was a bit stunned that Stuart seemed to have a pretty good impression of Blake."Blakey, are you planning to marry Yaz?" Stuart asked again.Both Yasmin and Blake were taken aback by this question. They looked at each other before Blake said, "I've thought about it, but it all depends on what Yaz thinks." He was also calling her Yaz, just
Yasmin fell silent.After finishing the discussion with the director, Blake walked over and smiled as he asked about Stuart's health.Then, Stuart asked, "Blakey, how come you had time to come over today?""I thought that you might need me to make some arrangements, so I came," Blake said as he glanced at Yasmin.However, Yasmin still remained silent.Stuart also glanced at her. Then, he asked Blake, "Do you still need to go back to work?""I'll go back after settling the arrangements here." Blake's answer confirmed that he had come here on purpose.Stuart then nodded and told Yasmin to see Blake out."What?" Yasmin asked, not having snapped back to reality yet.Stuart said, "Blakey purposely came here for us. Hurry up and see him out.""Alright." Yasmin glanced at Blake before turning away and walking out with him.As they walked side by side in the corridor, Yasmin asked, "Shouldn't you be in the hospital? Why did you suddenly come here? Have you removed your bandages?""
"I'm fine." Yasmin wiped her mouth after vomiting some bile. She still had occasional morning sickness.She got up and rinsed her mouth with water.Then, Blake asked her, "Why did you suddenly vomit? Is your stomach acting up again?"Yasmin was about to brush her teeth when she heard his voice. After a moment of silence, she replied, "It's nothing.""I feel like you've been sleeping a lot lately. Usually, you wake up at 7:00 am or 8:00 am, but recently, you've been sleeping until 9:00 am or 10:00 am. And you often take naps in the afternoon..."Upon hearing his words, Yasmin frowned. She'd almost blurted out that she was pregnant, but she held back.After all, telling him that she was pregnant now would be like agreeing and making up with him. Yasmin still didn't want that. She still wanted some time to herself.So, she just said, "My stomach's just a bit uncomfortable. It's nothing. You don't have to worry. "By the way, are you getting your bandages removed this afternoon?"
After more than ten minutes, Malcolm returned with a pale face and reported in a low voice, "Sir, Mrs. Ford has been kidnapped..."Blake's eyes darkened, and he had an ominous look as he turned to Malcolm. "What did you say?"Malcolm showed Blake the surveillance footage. "This is the surveillance footage from this morning. Mrs. Ford left Newphoria Bay and took a taxi, but then, she disappeared.""What about surveillance footage from other places?""They'd all been intentionally destroyed," Malcolm answered.A cold glint flashed across Blake's eyes. "Are you telling me that she disappeared after getting into the taxi?""Yes."So, it was a premeditated kidnapping.Blake's expression was blank as he asked, "Can we track down the driver?""No..." Malcolm said. But upon seeing Blake's ominous expression, he changed his phrasing and replied, "We haven't found him yet. Our people need some time. The kidnapping was premeditated.""It could be Brian." Brian was the only suspect that
Just as Janice was about to put on a pitiful act, Blake ran out of patience. He tightened his grip, causing her face to turn white."I'll talk! I'll talk..." Janice couldn't breathe, and her face was turning purple.But just as she was about to suffocate, Blake finally let go.Janice fell back to the ground, drenched in sweat and looking wretched.Blake looked down at her. His face was expressionless as he asked, "Where is Brian hiding?"Janice held her neck and took a few breaths before weakly saying, "I don't know. He just sent me an email."Upon hearing this, Blake took a step toward her.Janice was frightened and moved back. She trembled as she explained, "Even though I don't know where he is, I can show you the email. You can trace it through the IP address..."Blake finally stopped in his tracks and called Malcolm over.Janice breathed a sigh of relief as her heart raced. Then, as soon as Malcolm brought the computer over, she typed in her email.Malcolm opened the emai
Blake's murderous gaze gradually faded as he listened to Malcolm's words. He kicked Janice away and coldly said, "Change your face back to your original look. If I ever see you imitating her again, I'll disfigure you."Janice's head hit the coffee table. She then shivered uncontrollably, not daring to say a word.After that, Blake walked out with Malcolm following behind.Blake glanced at the cloudy sky. Then, he got into the car.Throughout the car ride, Blake reflected on and regretted his actions. He thought about how he shouldn't have tried to surprise Yasmin. If he had personally picked her up at Newphoria Bay and taken her to NAS Group, she wouldn't have gotten kidnapped.Upon thinking of this, Blake's eyes grew dark and gloomy.Suddenly, his phone rang.It was a call from Roxy.Blake answered it."Blake, why are you having people watch us and not letting us go out? This is illegal confinement, you know?" Roxy angrily complained on the other end of the line. She co
"I didn't," Yasmin said, denying it. Brian was acting like a madman now. So, Yasmin didn't want to anger him and risk suffering the consequences."You didn't? Then why did you give me a fake document?""I never touched the document. I saw the FH221 written on it and took a picture. I didn't think too much about it at the time...""You lied to me." Brian's cold fingertips tightly pinched Yasmin's chin. His menacing eyes bore a hole into her as he said, "If you had really deceived him, how could he have forgiven you? "After you disappeared, he issued a warrant to the entire city. Yet, you're still lying and saying that you're on my side?""He's looking for me?" Yasmin was surprised."Yes. His people are monitoring the customs stations and the airports. It's difficult to leave Stanton City."Yasmin was stunned. She didn't expect that Blake would mobilize a city-wide search to find her."I won't let you off so easily for doing this to me," Brian said with a cold smile, a malic
