Yasmin no longer politely addressed Annalise as "Mrs. Ford".Yasmin was now completely disappointed in her. In the past, she might have felt guilty toward Annalise. However, after being hurt repeatedly, Yasmin had lost all affection for her.Since the Starr family and the Ford family were destined to be enemies, she did not need to endure any more humiliation.Annalise's chest heaved with anger. "I'm the one who's been pressuring you over and over again. Why haven't you come after me?"Have you ever wondered why I keep doing this? My only wish is for you to leave Blake. Why are you so shameless that you would refuse to give up on Blake?"Yasmin laughed mockingly at that. She was about to respond, but Eunice stepped in front of her. "Mrs. Ford, you should talk to Blake about this. Yaz was all set to go abroad, but Blake rushed to the hospital and brought her back. What did Yaz do wrong? It's your son who won't let her go."Annalise retorted, "It's because she used some petty tri

Blake lived in this house that felt like a lonely grave. He had tasted the bitterness of longing and regret. Thus, he would not let Yasmin leave him again.To Yasmin, Blake's words sounded like imprisonment. She felt a chill creep down her spine just then. She asked softly, "What happens after I get pregnant?""After you get pregnant, we'll live here forever. We'll be so happy…" Blake envisioned their future together.But that future was a nightmare for Yasmin. If she became pregnant, she would never be able to leave.Yasmin shook her head in panic. She reasoned, "Blake, it's impossible. Your family hates me. If we have a child, it will only bring us more pain."Just because Blake liked her now didn't mean he would never regret it. Yasmin wondered what would happen if his feelings faded and he regretted everything in the future. Would he end up resenting their child, seeing them as the product of a cursed union?The more Yasmin thought about it, the more terrified she became.

Blake held Yasmin close, his large hand moving to her lower abdomen to gently massage it. "Can't sleep because of the pain?"Yasmin didn't dare pull away from him. She lay stiffly in his arms and said, "It's okay, I was just falling asleep."Her voice was delicate and gentle. It tugged at Blake's heart. Blake was feeling somewhat unsettled. He leaned down to kiss her forehead gently, whispering, "Go to sleep."All night, he kept massaging her stomach. Yasmin had planned to get up once Blake fell asleep to photograph his document and send it over to Ivan. However, every time his hand stopped and she tried to move, he would wake up and continue massaging her stomach.Blake was a light sleeper; he was always on high alert. If she acted rashly, he could catch her in the act.She knew that she couldn't complete her task that night, so she finally relaxed and fell asleep in Blake's arms. They spent the night wrapped around each other.…The next morning, Yasmin woke up to find Bla

Blake's gaze instantly darkened. His good mood from the morning was completely gone, replaced by an intense brooding.It was that expression again. The ominous look he always had before he went berserk.Yasmin feared being caught, so she calmed her nerves. She explained, "I was just saying goodbye to Ivan.""Why goodbye?" Blake asked. His eyes narrowed dangerously.Yasmin tried her best to calm him, explaining, "You forbade me from going to Merania. I told him I was not going anymore, and that we'd live together here in Stanton City.""Is that so?" His skepticism lingered.Yasmin nodded earnestly. "Isn't that what you said? That if I contacted him, you wouldn't let me see my dad. I… I miss my dad."Upon hearing the grievance in her words, Blake's hostility softened a bit. He turned gentle as he asked, "So saying goodbye to him means you won't contact him again?""What else could it be?" Yasmin looked at him with a hint of grievance.Blake's mood lifted a bit. "So, you're final

Blake asked softly, "You know my company is launching a new project soon?"Yasmin's heart began to race. She was afraid that he would suspect something. Then, she took a deep breath and calmly said, "I've been seeing it on the news these past few days."Blake nodded at that, his smile widening. He picked up a tie and said, "Help me with my tie.""Can't you do it yourself?""Not as well as you can." Blake handed her the tie. He tilted his head back and pointed his chin at her.Yasmin took the tie from him. While carefully tying it, her fingers accidentally brushed against his neck, sending a shiver through her body.Blake looked down at her and asked, "What? Are you trying to seduce me this early in the morning?""Of course not." She blushed slightly. "It was an accident.""I really hope your period ends soon." Blake pulled her into his embrace, and Yasmin could feel his body radiating heat.Yasmin's eyelashes fluttered. She was afraid he might do something, so she lowered her
