Yasmin bit her lip. "Mr. B, if your mom gets better, will she make you marry Giselle?"She didn't want him to marry Giselle, especially since the baby wasn't even his. Why should he be stuck with her?"Do you not want me to?" he asked.Yasmin nodded. "Yeah, I want to be with you."Her words made his heart skip a beat. He pinched her chin and said, "If you don't want a divorce, you'll have to listen to me from now on."He kissed her, his familiar and dominant presence overwhelming her.He was a good kisser. Yasmin quickly got lost in the moment, gently responding while wrapping her arms around his neck.Blake's gaze was so deep, as if it could swallow everything up....The next day, Yasmin came downstairs feeling refreshed.She went to check on Mary, who was making breakfast.When she entered the kitchen, Mary was about to mash some potatoes to go with grilled salmon.Yasmin quickly said, "Mary, don't just serve the mash plain. Mix in some chopped veggies and spices as well

"Later, when NAS Group wants to work with you again, just say no," Blake reminded her."Why?" Yasmin didn't get it. Missing this chance could mean her dream might fade again.Blake said in a deep voice, "I don't know what NAS Group's real intentions are, but the moment you had trouble, they sent a lawyer's letter. They showed no mercy. So I think you shouldn't work with them. Your small studio can't handle too many setbacks."Yasmin didn't question his advice. NAS Group had indeed been ruthless toward her. Nevertheless, NAS Group was the top luxury brand in the country. She would have to deal with them someday.Blake seemed to understand her worries. After thinking for a moment, he said, "First, build your brand name and develop your own style. Perfect your design, production, and sales. Once you're recognized in the industry, you'll be invited to fashion shows. Fame will come if your brand stands out."Hearing this, Yasmin was surprised. "How do you know all this?"How could som

"Erik, what are you doing?" A chilly voice came from the door.Erik's face froze.Blake walked in from outside. His handsome face carried a hint of cool detachment.Yasmin subconsciously felt guilty, but she couldn't explain why. Perhaps it was because Erik had just held her hand, and she wasn't sure if Blake had seen it."Didn't I make myself clear enough this afternoon?" Blake's gaze fell on Erik.Erik stayed silent for a moment, then left without saying anything.Yasmin watched him leave and felt confused."Done watching?" Blake's voice was cold.Yasmin snapped back to reality and asked, "What did you say to him this afternoon?""Nothing much."Blake didn't want to tell her much of what happened. He sat in the swivel chair and pulled her into a hug. His legs were long and robust.Yasmin felt awkward sitting on his lap. "Stop it. Our office has glass walls. The employees downstairs can see.""I'm just hugging you. I'm not doing anything."Indeed, he wasn't doing anything

"This child may not be Blake's, but what about the next one?" Giselle inched closer to Yasmin. Her gaze turned hostile. "Yasmin, put yourself in my shoes. After getting pregnant, your first love asked you to give birth to the child, claiming that he would be responsible for it."But he runs away from the responsibility a few months later. What would you do?"Yasmin's face turned ashen.Giselle uttered softly, "But Blake's a responsible man. I believe he wouldn't give up on the child. I can prove it to you if you don't trust me."Yasmin didn't believe the sly Giselle. She reminded herself not to trust Giselle and proceeded to leave.However, Giselle refused to let her go. Her eyes turned cold, and she grabbed her wrist. "Yasmin, stay here. Let me prove to you how much Blake cares for me and my child.""Let go of me!" Yasmin tried to shake her off.Yasmin was aware that Giselle was pregnant. Getting too close to her would get her into trouble—but it was too late. Giselle held

Blake withdrew his hand without hesitation. He faced the doctor and asked, "What's wrong with her?""She was probably just startled," came the doctor's reply."Blake, I don't want to make judgments on Yasmin's character, but she pushed me just now. I was terrified…" Giselle had tears welling up in her eyes as she complained.She feared Blake would brush off the matter if she didn't mention it again. She really wanted him to defend her on this."I will clear things up after looking into this incident." Blake glanced at her before instructing Malcolm to begin investigations.Only after things had calmed down did Blake realize Yasmin hadn't accompanied him to the hospital.Blake frowned, wanting to make a call to Yasmin. However, Giselle yelled in pain again. "Blake, my belly is hurting! Can you soothe it for me?"The obstetrician warned Blake, "You shouldn't touch her belly now."Seeing that there were other occupants in the ward, Giselle knew she couldn't pull any tricks. In the
