However, Yasmin was anxious about Blake's safety. "Will they come after you?"As Yasmin laid in his arms, Blake calmly remarked, "They wouldn't have the guts to. After all these years, if they could've gotten rid of me, they would've done it. Nothing's going to happen."Even though Blake had casually brushed it off, Yasmin understood the danger that lay within the shadows.Back then, Blake didn't have a father or anyone to stand up for him. In contrast, Neil had a family with three children. They would've been the ones who took care of Blake and were in charge of Windmere Group back then.Suddenly, it dawned on Yasmin that Blake had never had it easy. Besides having to face off against his own family, Blake had plenty of enemies outside as well. Everyone, including Blake, had their own struggles.Yasmin gently said, "Sounds like you've been dealing with a lot too."Under the dim light, Blake fixed his eyes on Yasmin and made a bold request. He said, "Things have been tough fo

Yasmin grumbled, "Your approach is too old school."Blake chuckled. "Isn't it a universal fact that women love flowers? Do you not like them?""I'm not upset with the flowers. It just feels a bit too staged.""That doesn't matter. What's important is that you like the flowers."Yasmin gently touched the pink roses. "It's pink again. You're quite obsessed with pink.""Well, I've always believed that pink suited you perfectly. From the moment I first met you, I knew that pink was your color.""When did we first meet?"Blake thought about it before replying, "It was probably on your 20th birthday."At that time, Blake had showed up at the Star family's house and saw Yasmin coming down the spiral staircase in a pink dress. And ever since then, he just couldn't take his eyes off of her.Yasmin blankly stared at Blake. "So, you fell in love with me at first sight?"It turned out that Yasmin's feelings had never been one-sided. In truth, Blake had been attracted to Yasmin from the s

Mortimer then said, "I've ordered some spaghetti for you. It's a milder option."Eunice raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you order it for Yaz too? She's also pregnant.""Yasmin is pregnant too?" Mortimer exclaimed. Then, he shifted his gaze to Yasmin and asked, "Are you pregnant with Blake's child?"Yasmin was taken aback when he'd suddenly put her on the spot. She nodded and said, "Yes.""So, how did Blake allow you to go out alone?"Yasmin was confused. "I'm not handicapped or anything."How did Mortimer get the idea that a pregnancy was like a disability? Why couldn't a pregnant lady go out on her own? Mortimer smirked. "I didn't mean it that way. It just makes me feel restless."Mortimer couldn't stand the thought of Eunice going out alone. That's why he'd been keeping a close watch on her lately. Other than Eunice's trips to the studio, he hardly allowed her to leave the house on her own.Mortimer hesitated a little before dialing Blake's phone. "Blake," he said.Bl

"You've already gotten rid of the bad guys. Why do you still need to protect me?"Blake looked at Yasmin in his arms and chuckled. He then carried her into the villa. "Whatever. I got to keep the defenseless pregnant lady safe."Yasmin looked blankly at Blake without saying anything. Shortly after, Blake carried her up the stairs and put her onto the bed.While taking off Yasmin's shoes, Blake knelt with one foot on the ground. However, as Blake took off Yasmin's shoes, Yasmin flinched from the ticklish feeling on her feet. "Let me do it myself—" she started.But before she could finish speaking, Blake had already sealed her lips with his.Yasmin's muffled groan escaped her throat, but she failed to piece together her words. The passionate kiss left Yasmin slumping on the bed after Blake finally released her from his arms.He shot her a meaningful look and huskily said, "I'm going to take a shower."With that, Blake grabbed his robe and entered the bathroom.Upon hearin

Mary treated Yasmin as usual and still addressed her as "Mrs. Ford".Yasmin kept her head lowered as Blake instinctively looked over to her. He then fixed his gaze on her beige outfit and remarked, "The weather is quite cold today. Why are you wearing that?"Yasmin grinned and said, "I'm going to visit my dad today, so I figured that I'd wear an elegant outfit to suit the occasion."Blake disapprovingly waved his hands and frowned. "No, it's 54 degrees today. You shouldn't wear that, and certainly not with your bare legs."Yasmin corrected him, "I'm not bare-legged at all. I'm wearing fleece leggings. They look just like regular tights."Blake's expression hardened as he retorted, "That's not going to cut it. You need to put on more clothes, or you're not stepping outside. Put on a long coat now."Yasmin pouted. "You're so annoying!" She was running out of patience with how nosy Blake was being.Ignoring her protests, Blake fetched a long coat from upstairs and draped it over
