"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
"Erik likes Giselle, so you can't win him over," Blake said with a dark expression. "Ivan won't marry you either, so stop dreaming.""Who knows? With my looks, maybe I have a chance?" Yasmin tilted her head as she suddenly burst into laughter."Why are you laughing?""I'm laughing at how naïve you are. How naïve can the president of the Windmere Group be?"If I work with Ivan, what do I have to lose? At most, he'll try to take advantage of me. If that happens, I'll just play the role of an innocent bunny. If it goes smoothly, I'll be an international designer in no time."By then, I'd have become a celebrity. At the very least, I could get a lot of attention and money. I have nothing to lose. ""Are you crazy?" Blake calmed himself down. He couldn't understand her at all. "I told you to give it two years. I'll make sure you become an international designer.""I don't want to wait two years," Yasmin interrupted. "I want it now. If you can't do it when someone else can, why should
After Yasmin's initial surprise, she regained her composure.So, that was what Erik meant when he offered to help her with the divorce.It would convince Blake that she was an unruly woman who seduced his friend behind his back. Then Blake wouldn't want her anymore.The moment had finally come.Yasmin felt a pang in her heart, but she had to go along with it. It was her final test.She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ford, I'm not like you. I need some support after the divorce. As you know, my family's business is now under Victor's management. We're facing challenges, and we need some help. Otherwise, people won't be willing to do business with us."At these words, Blake's eyes fixed on her with piercing intensity.Yasmin's heart pounded in her chest. She was scared. Nonetheless, she continued, "And there's my dream. If you're not going to help me achieve it, I'm going to have to find someone who will.""So all those displays of love you showed me after we got married were f
Pushing open the door, Yasmin noticed Blake sitting quietly on the couch. His tall figure was draped in a robe."What are you here for?" Yasmin was so beautifully dressed that Blake thought she was there to reconcile with him.Yasmin's eyes landed on the cast on his leg. "Didn't we agree to divorce today?"Blake's expression fell. "Well, you're certainly excited."Yasmin was silent as she waited patiently.Blake chuckled self-deprecatingly and called out, "Malcolm."Mr. Ford, looking for me?" Malcolm entered the room.Blake turned his head. "Go to the closet and get me some clothes.""Uh, Mr. Ford, isn't it usually Mrs. Ford who helps you with that?" Malcolm, unaware of what had happened between the two, scratched his head."Shall I get them for you?"Yasmin thought she would help him one last time, but Blake refused. "No need for that. Malcolm, go ahead."Malcolm reluctantly got Blake his clothes.They were left alone in the bedroom. Blake looked at her, but she remained s
