Semua Bab Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak: Bab 881 - Bab 890

Imogen quietly said to Yasmin, "Good girl."She gently stroked Yasmin's head, her gaze unbearably tender. Imogen thought for a moment and began, "Your mother was unique in her own way—perhaps it was because of my fame. Since she was young, people had high expectations of her."She always had to be mindful of etiquette, poise, and the cameras that followed us because I frequently attended fashion shows. Whenever she was by my side, any slip-ups would be magnified by the media."Although she was a prominent heiress, her life was not as smooth sailing as people thought it would be. I know a bit about her and your father." Imogen glanced at Yasmin every now and then as she spoke.Yasmin sat restlessly on the edge of the bed. She was surprised by Imogen's words. "Grandma, you knew about them?"Imogen's eyes showed a hint of regret. "I didn't know Stuart was your father at first; but having seen him at some events, I guessed that she was with the man from back then."If Imogen hadn't

At dinner time, someone arrived at the Sander residence. It was a young girl with long, wavy hair, and large, expressive eyes. She appeared to be fashionable and beautiful.She was Imogen's adopted daughter, Rowena Sander. Rowena's mother had been a close friend of Imogen.After her mother's death and the family fell into hardship, Imogen decided to take Rowena in. They had lived together ever since.Upon seeing Yasmin, Rowena asked, "Mom, is this Yasmin, the daughter of Mia?""Yes," Imogen replied and nodded."Yasmin, let me introduce you to my adopted daughter, Rowena Sander. You should call her Aunt Rowena.""Hello, Aunt Rowena," Yasmin immediately greeted, glancing at the newly arrived person.Rowena appeared to be around 26 years old, just two years older than Yasmin.Later that night, Rowena brought a glass of milk to Yasmin's room for a visit. Yasmin had just emerged from the bathroom, clutching her aching stomach. Lately, her stomach had been feeling unwell and she

At the doctor's words, everyone fell silent. All eyes turned to Yasmin.She was just as confused but realized her symptoms indeed resembled those of early pregnancy. After a moment, she said, "My periods have been irregular. Sometimes they come every two months, other times three."The doctor suggested, "Given your symptoms, it might be a good idea to get a blood test."Soon, they found themselves waiting for the test results.About half an hour later, the report confirmed that Yasmin was 12 weeks pregnant.She was already three months pregnant.The news stunned everyone, including Imogen and Ivan. In particular, Ivan was taken aback to learn Yasmin was carrying Blake's child."Whose child is this?" Rowena's initial shock quickly gave way to disdain. Merania's law was strict. Once pregnant, a woman had to carry the child to term as abortion was illegal.Yasmin's face turned pale. Just as she was about to respond, Ivan stepped in. He announced, "This is my child."Yasmin was

Ivan felt a little disappointed but didn't press Yasmin any further. He simply reminded her to be careful on the journey back.When Yasmin returned home, she opened the door to see a few model airplanes flying around. One of which had a speaker attached to it. From the small speaker came Tristan's childish voice, "Oh, isn't this our famous designer, Yasmin? Back so early today, what a rare guest!"Yasmin tried to placate him. She said, "Trist, I'm sorry. I know I've been busy lately and haven't been paying enough attention to you. But with the new product launch, I've been swamped. I'm really sorry."Hearing her apology, the little boy behind the speaker finally relented. He huffed and then used the remote controller to have the plane fly lower, bringing it right in front of her. He said, "Alright. Since your apology is sincere, I'll let you off this time. Here, have some strawberries."The model airplane hovered closer, carrying a small bag of strawberries behind it.Yasmin s

Yasmin felt a pang of guilt. Imogen was so old, yet had to wait for Yasmin to return before she could have the surgery. Yasmin felt every bit like an ungrateful grandchild at that moment. "Now that you're back, you won't be leaving again, will you?" Imogen asked Yasmin.Yasmin smiled and replied, "I'll be staying in Merania for a while."She planned to wait until Imogen's condition improved before returning.As they chatted by the bedside, Rowena whispered, "I don't think Trist and Ivan look alike at all."Rowena had been observing closely and felt there was no resemblance between the two.At those words, everyone fell silent.Rowena turned to Imogen and broke the silence, "Don't you think so, Mom? Look, the three of them standing together—Trist does resemble Yasmin a bit, but he doesn't look like Ivan at all."Imogen smiled at that. "Perhaps Trist looks more like his mother.""That's not entirely true either. Only his lips and chin resemble hers, but the eyes and overall f
