Yasmin removed the cap from the ointment and inspected his wound. She hesitated once more. The injury was situated at the bottom, requiring her to adjust things to properly apply the ointment.Frowning, she contemplated whether to go ahead with it or not. Despite having seen Blake's manhood several times, their relationship was not at its best. They hadn't shared a bed for quite some time, making the situation a bit awkward for her."Not done yet?" asked Blake as he opened his eyes. Yasmin remained silent, her expression revealing a sense of unease. Observing her discomfort, he glanced down at himself, seemingly comprehending her thoughts, and smirked.Seeing his smirk, she gathered her courage, dabbed some ointment on her index finger, and reached down. As the ointment made contact with the wound, Blake's breath caught. He then spoke in a husky voice, "Be careful.""Be careful with what?" She raised her head to look at him.His gaze deepened as he said, "Be careful not to t

Ivan asked, "Yasmin, was everything okay after you went back yesterday? Did you get hurt?""No, I didn't. It was Blake who got injured. I'm fine.""Okay."Since Blake was the one injured, Ivan did not need to care much.He paused and said, "Regarding the collaboration we discussed earlier, have you thought about it?""I think we can proceed," Yasmin replied with a smile. "I've been drawing at home lately. Once I finish, I'll contact you, and then we can discuss details.""Great!" Ivan did not want to pressure her too much as long as things were progressing. After a few more words, he hung up.Yasmin put away her phone with a faint smile on her face.Just as she was about to go downstairs, Blake called out, "Yasmin."She turned around to find his tense face staring back at her.From the bed, he asked, "Are you really going to collaborate with Ivan?"Yasmin hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes.""So, you don't find anything wrong?" he asked with a displeased expression,

Yasmin was having breakfast downstairs when Erik suddenly came and sat across from her.He muttered, "I'm sorry!"Recalling the incident, she looked at him and said, "You were the one who pushed me down the slope, right?""Yeah. Why else would I apologize to you?" Erik's face darkened a little.Yasmin smiled. "Since you're not sincere, why bother apologizing?"As she spoke, she sensed Erik's icy demeanor intensifying, his gaze turning even sharper."Yesterday, I just wanted to scare you. I didn't really intend to push you down. It was my fault."She stirred her coffee leisurely and replied, "I'm fine. It's Blake who got injured.""Blake told me to apologize to you," said Erik unwillingly.If it weren't for Blake's insistence, he would not have come.Yasmin paused in her actions. So, it was Blake who had asked Erik to apologize to her. She took a sip of her coffee, not showing her emotions, but there was a slight fluctuation in her eyes.Erik suddenly said, "But don't think I

"Of course not! You're injured, so you shouldn't eat raw seafood! These are for me."Yasmin chuckled and flaunted the peeled shrimp before him, saying, "I can eat it, but you can't. The meat is so sweet and juicy!" Blake wasn't able to tolerate her smugness anymore. He grabbed her hand and brought the shrimp to his mouth. Then, he ate it.While doing so, he unintentionally licked her fingertips.It felt like an electric current just passed through her.Yasmin's heart skipped a beat as she looked at him. Blake smiled and said, "It's quite sweet."Yasmin blushed and said, "Aren't you a germaphobe? I peeled these shrimp with my own hands. Aren't you afraid you'll get a stomachache again?""If I get a stomachache, I'll hold you responsible."Yasmin was rendered speechless. Blake really was a scoundrel! He was the one who insisted on eating it, and now he wanted to blame her if he got a stomachache. As she peeled the shrimp, she grumbled, "You have such a sensitive stomach, so

Yasmin was taken aback. She spoke softly, "We didn't do anything."Annalise didn't believe her. She frowned and said, "I'm not saying anything to you because Giselle was there just now. But what if she had caught you red-handed? If the baby in her belly was frightened and something happened to it, could you take responsibility for it?"Annalise's entire attention was on the baby.Yasmin remained silent.Annalise added, "I heard from Giselle that Blake got hurt this time because of you?"Yasmin felt a sense of unease as she looked at Giselle in the distance. Giselle was carrying a bag and wearing a white dress. She smiled and waved at Yasmin.Yasmin was truly impressed by that superficial woman—no matter when or where she could always maintain a poised and graceful appearance.Yasmin hummed in assent. After all, she couldn't deny the fact that Blake had indeed got injured because of her."I don't want to make a big deal about this, but I want you to know it's time to end this. U
