The familiar scent of cedar wafted in the air, making Yasmin feel somewhat uneasy. She moved away slightly to keep her distance."Eunice is currently in postpartum confinement. Let's all join her in having a confinement meal," Mortimer suggested, inviting everyone to start eating.Unlike Eunice, who was touched by Mortimer's thoughtfulness, Joel seemed troubled. Propping his chin up with his hand, he complained, "Come on, Morty! Eunice is in confinement, not us. Why should we eat this bland food, too?""If you eat other foods in front of her, she might crave them," Mortimer replied calmly, placing a stalk of celery into Eunice's bowl.Eunice looked at him with bright eyes, thinking Mortimer was really thoughtful."Why are you looking at me like that?" Mortimer asked her, meeting her gaze.Their eyes almost seemed to melt into each other.Joel couldn't help but face-palm. "Oh! I can't watch this anymore. What have I done to deserve this torture every time I come here?"Eunice

Joel tried to explain, "It's a long way, so I'm giving Yasmin a ride back.""Then why don't you give me a ride, too?" Before they could react, Blake opened the rear door and sat next to Yasmin.Yasmin's expression stiffened slightly."Don't you have a car? Why are you coming with us?" Joel asked."How could I let the two of you be alone together?" Blake's tone was subtle yet menacing.Joel was taken aback and let out a nervous laugh. "Right."Yasmin was speechless.When they arrived at Bournegin Heights, Yasmin got out of the car.Blake also got out and caught up to her pace. "What were you two talking about just now?"Yasmin stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, thinking that he probably didn't know what she and Joel had discussed. She said quietly, "Nothing.""Did he ask you to do something troublesome?" Blake glanced at her.Yasmin shook her head. "No.""Don't help him if it's troublesome.""It's not." In any case, she still had to ask Michelle first.Once in he

"Okay, I'm coming." Yasmin got out of bed and quickly put on her clothes.Thinking of the big trouble in the bathroom, she went over and said, "Michelle is here. Stay inside the room and don't come out."After saying that, she ran out and opened the door for Michelle.Michelle was wearing a black sports skirt, showing off her slim waist and long legs. She looked like one of those car models with a stunning figure."Yasmin, did you just wake up?" Michelle looked at her messy hair. "You asked me to meet you at 10:00 am, and it's already 9:50. Did you realize that?"Yasmin was stunned. She was almost late. Joel was probably anxiously waiting at the ski resort."Sorry, Michelle. I just need to grab my bag, and then we can go." Yasmin quickly grabbed her bag and was ready to leave.Suddenly, the master bedroom door opened. Blake, draped in black pajamas, asked, "Where are you going?"He stood there, looking fit. His hair was still a bit wet. His handsome face looked somewhat ref

The four of them sat down at the table. Blake handed the menu to Yasmin. "Take a look. What would you like to eat?"Yasmin flipped through the menu but then gave it to Michelle.Michelle was slightly stunned and then ordered some dishes that she liked before giving the menu back to Yasmin."Hello, Ms. Ferguson. This is our first meeting." Joel extended his hand to Michelle.Michelle smiled and held his hand politely. "Actually, this isn't the first time we've met. I think we met once at the launch event for Ferguson Jewelry. "You had someone come find me, and when I went with my brother, you said it was nothing."Joel was a bit embarrassed when he heard that. He did it back then to help Blake distract Carlos, but he didn't expect to leave such a bad impression on Michelle.He touched his nose and said, "At that time, I heard you were a successful businesswoman, so I wanted to see you.""So that was it." Michelle didn't call him out, maintaining a light smile on her face. "I

"It's cold outside. If you want to enjoy the snowy scenery, you can do so here with heating and hot coffee." Blake took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and sat on the couch in the middle to brew coffee.Yasmin didn't say anything. She sat on a cushion and quietly admired the snowscape outside. It had a unique charm."Drink some coffee," Blake called to her.Yasmin turned her head, and a cup of coffee was handed to her. Perhaps the beautiful snowscape had a calming effect on her because, instead of arguing, she accepted the coffee he offered and took a sip.It was warm and soothing.Blake noticed her smile and couldn't help but fixate on her.After watching the scenery for a while, Yasmin felt his intense gaze on her, making her uncomfortable. She said indifferently, "Stop staring at me.""Why?" Blake asked."I don't like it.""But I do." He moved closer, a smile playing on his lips. "This moment feels great."He stared at Yasmin so closely that even the fine hairs on h
