As Mortimer stepped into the baby store, he said, "Well, it's about time to start preparing then."Then, when he was inside the store, he started asking for recommendations on products from the shop assistants.Unexpectedly, Blake joined Mortimer in the baby store too.As the two gentlemen browsed through the baby products, Yasmin and Eunice stepped aside and looked at them both with bewildered expressions.Mortimer gave his suggestions to Blake and said, "The shop assistant recommended this one."Blake nonchalantly nodded and grabbed a baby bottle.Eunice rubbed her nose in embarrassment. "What are they doing?"Yasmin sighed. "You're only two months pregnant. What's the hurry? They're so engrossed in looking at the baby products."Eunice groaned. "Uh huh."Then, she looked at Yasmin's baby bump and giggled. "Even though we both didn't get married, we still got pregnant at the same time."Yasmin had been pregnant for over three months now while Eunice was still in her second
"You've already gotten rid of the bad guys. Why do you still need to protect me?"Blake looked at Yasmin in his arms and chuckled. He then carried her into the villa. "Whatever. I got to keep the defenseless pregnant lady safe."Yasmin looked blankly at Blake without saying anything. Shortly after, Blake carried her up the stairs and put her onto the bed.While taking off Yasmin's shoes, Blake knelt with one foot on the ground. However, as Blake took off Yasmin's shoes, Yasmin flinched from the ticklish feeling on her feet. "Let me do it myself—" she started.But before she could finish speaking, Blake had already sealed her lips with his.Yasmin's muffled groan escaped her throat, but she failed to piece together her words. The passionate kiss left Yasmin slumping on the bed after Blake finally released her from his arms.He shot her a meaningful look and huskily said, "I'm going to take a shower."With that, Blake grabbed his robe and entered the bathroom.Upon hearin
Blake smirked and lifted Yasmin up. He said, "Of course, I'll have to move you to the bed first."Just like that, Yasmin found herself being carried up. Nervous, she averted her gaze from Blake's eyes and quietly buried her face in his arms.Shortly after, Blake arrived at the bed and lay Yasmin down on it.Once Yasmin was tucked inside her blanket, Blake quickly held her in his arms. He then chuckled and whispered into her ears, "You smell great."However, Yasmin muttered, "I need to rest."Then, Blake instructed, "The doctor said the pregnant moms should sleep on their left side. Your posture isn't healthy. Turn around now."But Yasmin didn't want to face him. "Nope."However, Blake was firm about Yasmin changing sides. So, Yasmin had to comply. After turning to her other side, Yasmin found herself locking eyes with Blake. She swallowed and said, "Time to sleep."Blake gently stroked her cheek and responded, "Mhm."Yasmin let out a cry as Blake's ticklish caresses overwhel
Mary treated Yasmin as usual and still addressed her as "Mrs. Ford".Yasmin kept her head lowered as Blake instinctively looked over to her. He then fixed his gaze on her beige outfit and remarked, "The weather is quite cold today. Why are you wearing that?"Yasmin grinned and said, "I'm going to visit my dad today, so I figured that I'd wear an elegant outfit to suit the occasion."Blake disapprovingly waved his hands and frowned. "No, it's 54 degrees today. You shouldn't wear that, and certainly not with your bare legs."Yasmin corrected him, "I'm not bare-legged at all. I'm wearing fleece leggings. They look just like regular tights."Blake's expression hardened as he retorted, "That's not going to cut it. You need to put on more clothes, or you're not stepping outside. Put on a long coat now."Yasmin pouted. "You're so annoying!" She was running out of patience with how nosy Blake was being.Ignoring her protests, Blake fetched a long coat from upstairs and draped it over
Deep inside, Yasmin still resented Emelda.Back then, Emelda had begged Stuart to rehire Victor into Starr Corporation. Subsequently, this led to Victor upsetting Stuart and the recurrence of Stuart's heart inflammation.While Yasmin couldn't forgive Emelda, she couldn't bring herself to rebuke Emelda after seeing Emelda's pale complexion on the sick bed.In the end, Yasmin uncrossed her arms and said, "I don't blame you, Grandma."Emelda was already knocking on death's door, and Yasmin didn't want her to pass away with any regrets.Upon hearing Yasmin's words, Emelda seemingly regained her peace. Then, she shut her eyes and slowly drifted off to eternal sleep.After that, the heartbeat monitor flatlined.Emelda had passed on.Stuart bawled his eyes out. Upon seeing this, Yasmin felt heartbroken.They now needed to make the funeral arrangements.Stuart wasn't in the right mental state to plan a funeral, and neither did Yasmin have experience in handling one too. As she st
After paying his respects, Blake walked over to Yasmin and held her shoulder.Yasmin couldn't leave yet because she was the only family member staying back. So, she told Blake, "I'm the only family here, so I'll have to stick around the funeral home.""I'm the grandson-in-law, so I can stay back in your place. You should take a break," Blake suggested.Blake tried to get Yasmin to rest, but she still refused. Then, he gently coaxed her, saying, "You're pregnant. Standing for a long time will disrupt the blood flow and give you leg cramps. "Grab a seat over there, and let me handle it."Upon hearing his words, Yasmin walked away and finally took a rest.Later on, Blake brought her dinner too. Yasmin sat on a chair and opened her lunchbox. Then, she grabbed a few bites of food. As she did so, a wave of warmth washed over her. Without Blake, she would have been lost. After all, Yasmin was merely 23 years old and had limited experience in dealing with such things.She started
At half past six, Emelda had been laid to rest, and the grave was sealed. She had finally departed to the afterlife.Yasmin stood against the cold wind with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She sneaked a glance at Blake as he wearily looked at the grave.Then, by the time Yasmin and Blake arrived at Oak Garden, it was already 11:30 am. Yasmin suggested, "You look tired. You should go get some sleep."Blake took her hand and said, "You got up early today too. Let's sleep together then."Yasmin was exhausted as well. So, she leaned in closer and said, "Okay."And just like that, they cuddled each other on the bed as they drifted off to sleep.…One week later, Ivan suddenly showed up at Yasmin's studio. Yasmin was occupied with reviewing customer orders and was surprised to see him. She asked, "Hey, you're back, Ivo?""Yeah, I've finished my work at Ziporene," Ivan replied. Gavin had been impressed by Ivan's remarkable work and had sent him back home.Yasmin invited Ivan t
Hence, Blake didn't expect to see Ivan again. In the end, even after trying every method that he could think of, he still couldn't get rid of Ivan!"I'm coming up now," Blake said. Then, he ended the phone call before Yasmin could even respond. Troubled, Yasmin looked at Ivan.Upon noticing her gaze, Ivan immediately understood what was going on. He chuckled and coldly asked, "Is it Blake?""Yeah.""Did you move into Oak Garden with him?"Yasmin replied, "Yes. "I told you before that someone had dealt with Brian for me. Well, that person turned out to be Mr. B. And later on, I found out that Brian was the mastermind behind the whole issue regarding Victor too."Mr. B was busy at that time, so he wasn't aware of the crisis that Starr Corporation was facing. It was none of his fault."After sorting out the misunderstanding, Yasmin and Blake were on good terms again.Ivan nodded. Then, he wanted to say something else when Blake showed up in front of the office. As Bla
