Blake leaned down, and his handsome face loomed larger before her eyes. Yasmin ceased breathing, and her heartbeat became erratic."Why don't we wait a few years when you're more mature? I think that would be a better time.""Am I that childish now?" she asked, looking up at him with bright, gleaming eyes.Blake laughed and replied, "Yes, you are. You run away from home at the drop of a hat.""That's because of you…"She wanted to ask whether he was the father of Giselle's child, but his hands were already on her waist, lifting her.Startled, Yasmin wrapped her hands around his neck. The next second, their lips met. Heat emanated from their lips, and her heart raced.In a daze, she wondered about the meaning of Blake's words just now. According to what he said, he did not want a divorce. But if he did not want a divorce, why involve Giselle?"Focus."Sensing her distraction, Blake bit her lips. Yasmin frowned and tried to push him away, but his gaze made her stop. There was a
Yasmin was having breakfast downstairs when Erik suddenly came and sat across from her.He muttered, "I'm sorry!"Recalling the incident, she looked at him and said, "You were the one who pushed me down the slope, right?""Yeah. Why else would I apologize to you?" Erik's face darkened a little.Yasmin smiled. "Since you're not sincere, why bother apologizing?"As she spoke, she sensed Erik's icy demeanor intensifying, his gaze turning even sharper."Yesterday, I just wanted to scare you. I didn't really intend to push you down. It was my fault."She stirred her coffee leisurely and replied, "I'm fine. It's Blake who got injured.""Blake told me to apologize to you," said Erik unwillingly.If it weren't for Blake's insistence, he would not have come.Yasmin paused in her actions. So, it was Blake who had asked Erik to apologize to her. She took a sip of her coffee, not showing her emotions, but there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.Erik suddenly said, "But don't think I
Blake said, "Without my orders, Mary wouldn't dare come upstairs to disturb me." Early that morning, a group of people from the company came over for a meeting. After Mary brought them coffee, Blake ordered her not to come upstairs again.Yasmin was immediately taken aback. "Does that mean you haven't eaten anything since this morning?""And whose fault do you think this was?"Yasmin was instantly embarrassed. She didn't know he would be waiting for her all this time. She thought that if she didn't come over, he would just summon Mary to deliver the food."I'll go get you breakfast… Wait, I mean lunch right now," Yasmin said as she got out of bed and made her way downstairs.Joel and Erik were about to leave. They talked as they walked downstairs.Joel asked, "Have you apologized to Yasmin?"Erik coldly responded, "I've already apologized to her.""Can you please stop picking on her? I think Blake really likes her. You shouldn't always wear such a resentful expression when fa
"Of course not! You're injured, so you shouldn't eat raw seafood! These are for me."Yasmin chuckled and flaunted the peeled shrimp before him, saying, "I can eat it, but you can't. The meat is so sweet and juicy!" Blake wasn't able to tolerate her smugness anymore. He grabbed her hand and brought the shrimp to his mouth. Then, he ate it.While doing so, he unintentionally licked her fingertips.It felt like an electric current just passed through her.Yasmin's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. Blake smiled and said, "It's quite sweet."Yasmin blushed and said, "Aren't you a germaphobe? I peeled these shrimp with my own hands. Aren't you afraid you'll get a stomachache again?""If I get a stomachache, I'll hold you responsible."Yasmin was rendered speechless. Blake really was a scoundrel! He was the one who insisted on eating it, and now he wanted to blame her if he got a stomachache. As she peeled the shrimp, she grumbled, "You have such a sensitive stomach, so
When Yasmin saw Blake remain motionless for a long time, she mustered up her courage, raised her head, and kissed him on the lips.Their lips finally touched each other.Blake shuddered, and his gaze deepened. He instantly gripped her slender waist and deepened the kiss.Yasmin struggled to breathe from the passionate kiss.She was a little scared from the kiss, but she didn't dare to push him away. She placed her hands on his chest and grabbed his loungewear. She became increasingly nervous.Blake noticed her subtle movement. He cradled the back of her head with his hand and kissed her even more passionately.Yasmin was overwhelmed.She wasn't able to endure such a passionate kiss. She raised her hand to push him away, but he just wouldn't budge.Eventually, Blake's lower half started to show a reaction.Yasmin, who was sitting on his lap, blushed. She whispered to him, "Blake, that's enough…"Everything was working just fine.Yasmin felt relieved.However, Blake refused
Yasmin was taken aback. She spoke softly, "We didn't do anything."Annalise didn't believe her. She frowned and said, "I'm not saying anything to you because Giselle was there just now. But what if she had caught you red-handed? If the baby in her belly was frightened and something happened to it, could you take responsibility for it?"Annalise's entire attention was on the baby.Yasmin remained silent.Annalise added, "I heard from Giselle that Blake got hurt this time because of you?"Yasmin felt a sense of unease as she looked at Giselle in the distance. Giselle was carrying a bag and wearing a white dress. She smiled and waved at Yasmin.Yasmin was truly impressed by that superficial woman—no matter when or where she could always maintain a poised and graceful appearance.Yasmin hummed in assent. After all, she couldn't deny the fact that Blake had indeed got injured because of her."I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I want you to know it's time to end this. U
Erik pondered for a moment, then turned and walked away without saying anything.Instead of going upstairs to find Blake, he got into his Pagani and drove away.Yasmin was perplexed.What a strange bunch of people.She let out a sigh.Since everyone wasn't happy with her and Blake being together, then they should probably just let it go.She went back upstairs and had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair when Blake's phone call came in.She answered the phone with an icy tone, "Hello."Blake sensed that something was wrong with her. He asked, "Why haven't you come over yet?""Why should I go over?"After a moment of hesitation, Blake said, "My leg hurts a little.""Hold on." She put down the towel and walked to the master bedroom in her slippers.Blake sat on the bed, his lips curling into a smile. "Come over here."Yasmin stopped in front of him and looked at his leg indifferently. "Where does it hurt? Do you need me to call Dr. Sawyer over?""It doesn't
Blake's expression turned icy. "Go get her."His leg was injured, making it difficult for him to walk far."Alright, Blake. Let me help you back into bed. Sit tight. I'll go get her." Erik helped Blake back to the bed.Blake sat calmly.Erik went outside and stood behind Yasmin. "Blake wants you inside."Yasmin turned around, and when she saw Erik, her expression turned sour.He suddenly took a step forward, his gaze darting across the scene. He whispered into her ear, "I haven't told Blake about the deal you made with Aunt Anna."Yasmin stared at him coldly. "And?""In return, I need you to agree to something for me.""Why should I agree to anything?""If you don't, I'll tell Blake about your deal with Aunt Anna. I believe Blake despises your dad for manipulating him back then. When Blake finds out about it, he wouldn't be happy about it and might charge your dad with more crimes. Your dad might spend his last years behind bars."Yasmin glared at him. "Erik, I haven't done
