Yasmin shouted behind Blake, "Why are you going upstairs? Are you going to skip dinner?"However, Blake simply ignored her and went upstairs.Yasmin's face fell. She was peeved by Blake's temper and was running out of patience with him.So, Yasmin simply walked to the dining room and enjoyed her dinner on her own.Shortly after, Blake came to the dining room doorway. He was dressed in a robe and was acting coldly toward Yasmin.Meanwhile, Yasmin was chowing down the cherries. Blake's sudden appearance surprised her. "Why did you suddenly show up at the doorway? You nearly gave me a heart attack."Blake walked over and coldly remarked, "You're still eating?"Yasmin pouted. "Why not? I'm pregnant, so I have to eat.""Are you seriously going to attend the fashion show with Ivan?" Blake asked.Yasmin decided to be honest about it and said, "That's just how it is. Erinnyes will be collaborating with NAS Group, and since Ivan is the representative for the collaboration, I'll be
Once Yasmin put down her cup, Blake turned off the light and laid her on the bed. Then, before Yasmin could react, Blake turned her face to his and passionately kissed her.However, the heated kiss almost seemed like Blake's revenge toward Yasmin from his anger during dinner earlier.Yasmin tried to resist him, and with a scrunched-up face, she warned, "Hey, I'm pregnant.""That won't change anything. You're naughty, and you deserve to be punished." Blake nibbled on Yasmin's lips. Upon seeing Yasmin struggle, he huskily warned, "You can't say no to your husband."Despite attempting to flee from Blake's advances, Yasmin still failed. Then, Blake grabbed her by the waist and put her on top of his lap.Scared, Yasmin pleaded, "Our business meeting is strictly professional, and there's nothing else to it. You're overthinking it.""You have no feelings for him, but he doesn't feel the same way about you," Blake complained in annoyance. Then, he held Yasmin's chin and pressed his lip
"Sure," Yasmin said as she entered the venue with Ivan.…Two hours later, the fashion show ended.After gathering her belongings, Yasmin followed Ivan out of the place.In the corridor, Ivan looked at Yasmin and called out, "Yasmin." Yasmin instinctively looked over to him. "Yeah?"With a hesitant look, Ivan fixed his gaze on Yasmin and asked, "Did you make up with Blake?"Yasmin noticed that Ivan had something on his mind and gently said, "Speak your mind, Ivo.""Does the thought of Elise coming back one day scare you?" Ivan asked.Yasmin paused for a second before saying, "I don't think she ever will." After all, Blake had promised her that Elise wouldn't return.But Ivan then said, "I heard that Elise has fallen sick in Merania due to the weather. Blake might have gone over to check on her."Upon hearing this, Yasmin felt disheartened. She realized that Blake had left in a hurry that morning to visit Elise.…When night came, Yasmin returned to Oak Garden and noticed
Blake paused the footage and zoomed in on the hands in the brown suit sleeves.Since the footage was from a decade ago, it was rather blurry. And despite having zoomed in, Blake couldn't see who the culprit was. However, it was clear that the culprit was wearing a brown suit that night.Blake then took out a photo from inside the folder and was shocked upon seeing it. The photo was a snapshot from the hotel lobby's security camera. That night, the security camera had recorded seven people entering the hotel.Everyone was dressed in a black suit. But one person stood out in a brown suit, and that person was Stuart."Stuart pushed James down the balcony, Blakey," Elise said. She had already gone through the evidence that the police officer had found.Blake goggled at the photo, devastated. He had hoped that it wasn't Stuart. But was Stuart really responsible for James' death?Suddenly, Blake's eyes turned bloodshot.Then, Elise said, "Stop seeing Yasmin, Blakey. Stuart kil
Blake was burning up with a severe fever, and he shivered on his sick bed as his mind wandered off to his childhood. In his mind, Blake saw James swing open the house door. Then, he crouched down and yelled, "Blakey." A young Blake then crashed into James' embrace, exclaiming, "Dad!"Blake had had an amazing dad. However, someone had taken his dad's life just because his dad invented a chip that had rocked the entire world.And to make matters worse, the culprit was actually Blake's father-in-law.In his pain, Blake mumbled, "Dad… Yasmin…"Suddenly, another hand grabbed onto Blake's.Elise looked at Blake and yelled, "Blakey!"Upon seeing Blake's pale face and chapped lips, Elise felt heartbroken. She grabbed a wet cotton swab and gently moistened his lips with it.However, Blake didn't wake up and simply kept mumbling in his dreams.When Malcolm walked into the room with some supplies, he saw Elise giving Blake some water. He quickly went over and took the cup from E
Upon hearing Elise's words, Blake was shocked, and he fixed his cold gaze on Elise.Elise was scared out of her wits by Blake's cold gaze and quickly shut up.After a while, Blake warned her, saying "Don't mention this ever again."Elise momentarily froze. Then, she looked over and said, "But Yasmin's dad—"With a grim expression, Blake said, "Did I not make it clear enough? Don't bring this up ever again!""Okay, okay," Elise said in an attempt to placate Blake. Then, she clenched her fists and left the room, a hint of frost lingering in her eyes.Elise hadn't expected Blake to love Yasmin this much. Despite knowing that Yasmin was the daughter of James' killer, Blake had still stood up for her. And since Blake had warned Elise to drop the topic, would that also mean that Blake would spare Stuart? But Elise couldn't accept this outcome, and she swore to get rid of Yasmin forever.…Blake came back to his country the following day.Meanwhile, Yasmin was working on her dr
Blake's attitude had drastically changed after he returned from Merania. Yasmin glanced at Blake, longing to ask him why he had suddenly become like this.After 30 minutes, they reached the hospital. Then, Blake silently carried Yasmin inside.Soon, a doctor came to check on Yasmin. They did an ultrasound test too since she was exactly four months pregnant.After that, Yasmin lay in the quiet hospital room with Blake sitting at her bedside. They were waiting for the report on the baby.Yasmin occasionally glanced at Blake. She wanted to ask him why he had been acting weird, but she couldn't because Blake wouldn't even look at her.20 minutes later, the doctor returned with the report."The results aren't ideal. Mrs. Ford has a special abnormal placenta previa," the doctor said gravely.This one diagnosis made Yasmin feel as if her world were collapsing.Stunned, her face was as pale as a ghost. "What do you mean 'special abnormal placenta previa'?" she asked."The cause of
"Why?" Yasmin looked at Blake with dark eyes. She didn't see any pain in Blake's eyes when he said that he didn't want the baby.Blake didn't answer her. Yasmin found it ironic, and she wanted to laugh. But she couldn't as despair slowly overtook her heart.She felt even more hopeless when the doctor brought the abortion form to them.Blake took the form and signed his name without the slightest hesitation.Yasmin sat as still as a statue as she watched Blake sign the form. She was thoroughly disappointed in him. When he walked over, she said, "Blake Ford, the baby in my womb has nothing to do with you. Your signature doesn't mean anything, and you don't get to decide for me."She had decided that she would never remarry him.If she didn't remarry him, they wouldn't be husband and wife, and her baby would have nothing to do with Blake. Blake had no right to determine her baby's fate. This would be her baby, and hers alone. Blake saw Yasmin's pale and expressionless face a
