"Probably. So, I know I can't leave you." Blake looked at Yasmin intently, then lifted her finger. "You're wearing the diamond ring tonight?"Yasmin replied, "Didn't you send this ring to me?""Yes." He nodded, his gaze deep. "But I was afraid you wouldn't want to wear it.""The ring is quite beautiful." Yasmin smiled softly.She was wearing the light purple dress he had given her today. It was simple and elegant, and paired with her delicate face, she looked stunningly beautiful.They looked at each other. Suddenly, fireworks shot up in the distance, lighting up the sky."Fireworks!" Yasmin turned her head, pointing to the fireworks.Blake smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"He was asking if she liked it, not if it was beautiful.Yasmin was startled. "Did you… arrange for them?""Yes." Blake nodded. "I haven't celebrated New Year with you for the past two years. This year is our first together."He clasped her hand tightly as he spoke.Yasmin looked at his hand, somewhat
"It was more terrifying at first. A piece of flesh was missing. It's been healing for a while now and is much better. Joel said it'd be fully healed soon."Yasmin stared at his wound in silence. She hadn't known his injury was so severe. He never mentioned it or changed his bandage in front of her. She had no idea the wound was that serious.Seeing her deep in thought, Blake smiled and asked, "Are you feeling guilty seeing my wound like this?"Yasmin looked up at him, her eyes suddenly a bit red.Blake was taken aback and felt sorry for her. He held her hand tightly. "It's okay, really. We were in the car at that time. Even if I didn't hold you, I'd likely still get injured. You don't need to blame yourself."She took a deep breath. "Let me put the medicine on for you.""Can you do it?""Have you forgotten? I took care of you when you were injured before," Yasmin said.Blake seemed to remember those moments. He gave her a meaningful look and smiled. "You're right. You took ca
Arthur's face was stern, as if he had been holding back for a long time. He coldly questioned Roxy, "Did Brian consider Blake his cousin when he tried to kill him?"Roxy was taken aback, a hint of guilt flashing across her face.Due to this incident, Arthur had stopped them from visiting the Ford residence often. They probably wouldn't have been allowed in today if it weren't for the New Year celebration.This matter was like a thorn in Arthur's heart. It made him believe their family was too heartless, and he didn't want to be closely associated with them.Annalise also spoke up, "I don't believe Yasmin is the kind of person who throws her weight around. It was actually your family who often bullied her because of her lower status."Yasmin was surprised upon hearing that. She glanced at Annalise and Arthur.Annalise gave Yasmin a warm smile.Arthur directly ordered, "Roxy, you should go back. Every time you're here, you bring chaos to the Ford residence. I don't want to see you
When Lizzie heard Blake was getting married, she wanted to return to the country. However, Marie forbade her from doing so. She said the woman Blake was marrying wasn't his true love but someone he was forced to marry.Lizzie calmed down, deciding to wait until they got divorced to return.As expected, after two years, she finally heard about Blake's divorce. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep. She told Marie she wanted to go back immediately. Marie promised to help bring her and Blake together, making their families even closer.This way, Lizzie would inherit the Keating family assets without any worries. Otherwise, without the Keating family bloodline, Adelle might not be willing to pass on the entire family fortune to her. Lizzie didn't want to face the day when she would have to fight with Blake over the inheritance. So, the best solution was for them to marry.Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Annalise had even agreed to try to bring them together.But suddenl
Yasmin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelashes fluttered. "What's the matter?" she asked."I miss you." Although Yasmin was right in front of him, Blake still missed her so much—so strangely and intensely.Yasmin felt uncomfortable under his gaze, especially when they were so close to each other. His deep gaze and low voice inexplicably made her feel hot."What are you trying to do?""I want to hug you." He leaned over, and his hot breath fell on her lips.Yasmin's heartbeat quickened a little. "Then, just hug me.""Okay." Blake hugged her and kissed her lips in the next second.Yasmin's eyes widened in surprise. "Didn't you say you just wanted to hug?""I couldn't help it." He chuckled. His thin lips passionately and lustfully lingered on hers.Yasmin felt her body become inexplicably soft. He pulled her, and they fell onto the couch. However, she was still rational and patted his shoulder. "Remember what Dr. Sawyer said. Don't indulge too much."Blake said hoarsely,
Yasmin was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized they indeed had to visit Arthur on the first day of the New Year.She had been doing this alone for the last two years, so she didn't feel anything special about it. She didn't set a specific time to visit Arthur, but she normally did so after she woke up. However, she had Blake accompany her this year.It was a distinctive year.While she was lost in thought, Blake steered his wheelchair over to her. "Why are you still in a daze?"Yasmin returned to her senses, smiled, and said, "It's nothing. I'm going to wash my face.""Okay. Hurry up."She hurriedly went to the washroom. Blake shouted, "Take your time.""Yeah, I know," she replied.After washing her face and coming out, she saw a light purple cashmere dress on the bed.She was stunned for a moment. Looking at Blake, she asked, "Did you choose this for me?""Yeah." He nodded, appearing gentle.Yasmin smiled faintly. She took the dress, planning to change in the washroo
Lizzie glanced at Blake, who appeared unemotional. She then said, "Grandpa Arthur, let me check on you. I am good at treating the flu. You don't have to call the family doctor. It's the New Year. Let him enjoy his holiday.""Alright." Lizzie was a top student at her school, so Arthur was quite confident in her.Lizzie put her fingers on Arthur's wrist.Arthur asked curiously, "Lizzie, you know how to take a pulse? Did you also study traditional medicine?""I've learned traditional medicine before. Grandpa Arthur, I'm quite good at it." Lizzie showed off her talent as much as possible to boost Arthur's impression of her.Arthur smiled and said, "Lizzie, you're excellent. You seem to know everything.""Grandpa Arthur, you're exaggerating." Lizzie smiled cheekily.The two chatted happily. Annalise tugged on Yasmin's sleeves and said, "Yasmin, let's go down to have breakfast."Yasmin returned from her thoughts. Just as she was about to leave with Annalise, Blake said, "I'll come,
The Keatings hated Yasmin to the bone because Blake had gotten tricked by Stuart earlier.They had planned to marry Lizzie off to Blake once she completed her studies. Adelle felt that she could only truly trust Lizzie once both generations of their family were linked to the Fords.After all, Lizzie was adopted. If Adelle were to give the Keating family fortune to her, it would seem like she was giving the family wealth away to outsiders.However, if their fortune were to be given to Blake, she would feel sorry for Lizzie, whom she had raised since a young age. So, after thinking about it over and over for some time, she decided the best plan was to have Blake marry Lizzie.Only by doing so would the Keating family's wealth not fall into the pockets of outsiders.Besides, Lizzie also liked Blake. She had liked him since she was young, so Adelle wanted to bring them together even more.However, she didn't expect Stuart to intervene and help Yasmin snatch Blake away. That angered h
