"I think so. I can start by working part-time for a few hours every week. I'll look for other jobs when I adjust to working," Elise explained in a melodious and soft tone.Yasmin said nothing throughout the dinner, choosing to focus only on her food.After a brief silence, Blake agreed to Elise's idea. "Of course you can work a few hours per week. Do you have anything in mind? Do you need help finding a job?""Blakey, I'd like to be a designer since that's what I was studying. I might not have a college degree, but before I dropped out, I was top of my class." Elise brought up her past before casting a curious look at Yasmin. "I heard Yasmin is a designer.""Who told you that?" Yasmin sounded a little surprised."Everyone at the villa knows." Smiling, Elise added, "The driver told me about it when he drove me to the hospital for my follow-up appointment."Nodding, Yasmin inquired, "What field of design were you studying?""Same as you; I studied fashion design. Yasmin, may I wor

Eunice asked, "Does it feel like she's intruding on you guys?""Yeah." That was exactly it. Although Yasmin knew Blake and Elise saw each other as siblings, it wasn't appropriate for them to stick so close to each other since they weren't technically related. Moreover, Yasmin couldn't shake the feeling that Elise was overly dependent on Blake. After listening to what Yasmin had to say, Eunice commented, "You're right. She doesn't seem to know what personal space is. No one can stand someone constantly disturbing their lives, much less a married couple like you guys."Yasmin felt a sense of resignation. "She even said she wanted to come to our studio to learn.""What?" Eunice's eyes widened. "She wants to work here?" "No, she said she doesn't need a salary. She just wants to learn and gain more experience."Eunice frowned. "Is that what she told you?""Yeah. She begged me in front of Blake and looked so pitiful that I didn't know how to turn her down." Yasmin massaged her

Upon entering the clothing boutique, Malcolm instructed the staff to close the store.Recognizing that they were wealthy customers, the staff quickly closed the shop and brought out the limited edition items.Since Yasmin seemed uninterested, Elise asked Blake, "Does this outfit look good, Blake? It's pink, I really like it..."Hearing the word "pink", Yasmin subconsciously glanced at her pink diamond bracelet. Since Elise loved pink, she felt like they had something in common.It suddenly felt like a thorn had pierced her heart."I really like this one," Elise said sweetly to Blake as she picked out her clothes.Blake would only say, "If you like it, buy it.""Blakey, do you think it looks good?""It's okay." His tone was consistently flat.Yasmin sat on a sofa in the store, feeling out of place for some reason.After browsing through the clothes, they went to other stores. As they passed by a jewelry store, Elise suddenly said, "Blakey, I want to buy some jewelry."Blake r

Blake's face hardened, his tone becoming frigid. "What's going on with you? You said not to buy that jewelry, so we didn't buy it. You didn't want dinner, so we all came back without eating. I tried to appease you, but you wouldn't listen. What exactly do you want?"Yasmin pursed her lips and didn't speak. She was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.From Blake's words, it seemed like they were all accommodating her, and she was the one causing trouble.Indeed, that's what it appeared like. Elise spoke pitifully, while Yasmin had a bad temper—like an unreasonable and shrewish woman.Even if she questioned him, she couldn't get any answers. Earlier, Elise had already made it seem like she was jealous and suspicious of them.In the end, she could only say, "Fine. I have a bad temper, okay? Let go, I want to take a bath and go to sleep.""Let's talk.""I don't want to talk to you right now." Yasmin's face was expressionless.Blake's gaze deepened.Yasmin said, "So, it's ok

Yasmin said, "No, I just don't want to go back.""You don't want to see Elise?""That's right," Yasmin admitted bluntly. She didn't want to interact with Elise in any way.Blake turned his head and stared at her coldly. "You hit Elise so hard that she had to be hospitalized, yet she didn't blame you. And now you're saying you don't want to see her?""I just slapped her once. How could she possibly be hospitalized?" Yasmin looked at him incredulously."She had been in a coma for several years and only recently woke up. Her health was already poor, and now she's in the hospital receiving a blood transfusion."Yasmin pursed her lips.Blake instructed, "Go apologize to her."A feeling of suffocation surged in Yasmin's heart. "I won't go."She turned on her heel and walked toward the road to hail a cab, refusing to even ride in Tyler's car.Blake's face was icy as he got out of the car.Yasmin raised her hand to call for a cab.Just then, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a stro
