Yasmin's footsteps stopped. She heard Blake say, "You don't need to worry about this.""I don't need to worry? This is your marriage. You're already 30 years old, Blake. With how my health is nowadays, who knows how many more years I can live? My only wish is to see you have children. When your position in the company is stable, and I'm gone from this world, you'd still have a child to keep you company. "Blake didn't respond to Annalise's words. He turned and walked into the room.Annalise's chest felt heavy. She turned around and spotted Yasmin. Her expression immediately turned glum. "How long have you been standing there?""I just came up," Yasmin replied."Blake is so distant and never initiates anything. You should make the first move. Both of you are married now, so there's no reason not to be more open with one another. Play coy with him. Men love it when women do that."Annalise urged Yasmin to seduce Blake. Annalise felt like if she tried enough and they used those herb

Joel kicked him. "What bullshit are you talking about? This is Blake's wife, Yasmin Starr.""I'm so sorry. I should've known better," the man quickly apologized to Yasmin.Yasmin smiled. "It's alright."There were five other people in the room, all of them handsome.Yasmin turned to Joel and said, "Hi there, Dr. Sawyer."Joel handled Yasmin's annual health checkup, so they knew one another already."Yasmin, Blake," Joel greeted. He shooed away the two people sitting in the middle of the room and let Yasmin and Blake sit down.They had a pretty lively conversation afterward and got to know one another better.When the waiter brought in drinks, Yasmin reached out for a glass as she was feeling thirsty. But Blake took the glass away. He said to the waiter, "Get me a glass of orange juice.""I want a cold drink." Yasmin wanted to have some alcohol."Did you forget how you behaved yesterday after getting drunk?" Blake stared at her coldly.Yasmin blushed somewhat upon recalling w

Yasmin froze in place.All her savings combined only amounted to 10,000 dollars. How could she pay now?Erik saw how ugly her expression was and chuckled. "Don't tell me you don't even have a couple hundred thousand dollars saved up, Yasmin?""This won't do," Joel responded. "A couple hundred thousand dollars is nothing with Blake around. He'll surely cover for Yasmin."Yasmin's face had crumpled.Blake had cut her bank card off. Where could she find the money to pay back everyone at the table?Right when she was moping about this, Joel called out, "Blake, why don't you come to play Yasmin's hand? She keeps on losing."Blake was looking at his phone on the couch. He shot Yasmin a look when Joel said this.Yasmin's brows knitted tightly together as she thought about her financial debt.Blake's own brows knitted slightly. He got up and went to the card table. "Scooch over."Yasmin looked up at him.Blake met her eyes. "Move. Do you hear me?"Yasmin glumly shuffled over. Bla

Blake ignored her and ran out the door. He found Yasmin by the club entrance. She was sitting on the roadside, staring dazedly at the flowers by the curb.Blake walked over. Yasmin looked up just in time for him to grab her wrist. He then wordlessly led her away.Yasmin was surprised. "What are you doing, Blake?""We're going home." Blake shoved Yasmin into the Cullinan and drove it back to Ford Residence.Yasmin stayed silent the entire trip.They didn't talk even after reaching home. Yasmin went to get her clothes, then entered the bathroom to shower.When she exited the bathroom, Blake was on the call with someone. Yasmin thought that it was probably a call from Giselle. Blake said over the call, "I won't be joining you."Yasmin's heart clenched. She pretended she didn't hear it and dove under the bed covers to sleep. All of this had nothing to do with her anymore.Yasmin just had to treat Blake like a stranger and not mind everything else.The lights were soon switch

Yasmin's heart lurched. "How did you find out, Anna?""She called me earlier today to tell me." Annalise's joy was clear for all to see.Yasmin finally knew why she was so happy. So Annalise knew about Giselle's pregnancy now.Yasmin nodded, her emotions not fluctuating much. "Okay."She couldn't rebut anything. Giselle really was pregnant."Is it Blake's child?" Annalise asked."Why don't you ask Giselle, Anna?" Yasmin wasn't sure. Giselle said it was Blake's baby, but Blake never confirmed it."It's probably Blake's," Annalise said. "Giselle said so to me earlier today."One could tell Annalise really wanted Blake to have a baby based on her sentence alone.Yasmin looked out the window glumly.She knew she shouldn't be bothered about this. The entire Ford family had their prejudices against her ever since Stuart messed with Blake two years ago, especially Annalise, who had to raise Blake alone after her husband passed away. Blake became head of the family business after y
