Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 49

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 years of effort, yet he ended up marrying a woman from a bankrupt family who couldn’t even get pregnant.

This was something Yasmin was helpless to change.

She had asked Joel why before, and he said it was because her body needed really good care before she’d be able to get pregnant. But with Blake’s frequent outstation work, Yasmin was never able to get pregnant, even after two years.

“Yasmin,” Annalise said suddenly.

Yasmin turned to face her, knowing she wouldn’t call her name without reason. “Yes, Anna?”

“I’ll be honest. You are a sweet young woman, but…” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The moment Annalise said “but“, Yasmin knew what Annalise was going to say next wouldn’t be anything light.”

Annalise continued, “You can’t bear children.”

Sure enough, Annalise’s words had an implied meaning.

“It’s not that I have anything against you, but I’ve just given you so many chances throughout these two years. Yet your body just won’t bear kids. My health is worse nowadays, and I likely won’t be able to live for long. All I want is to have a grandchild or two. Do you understand how I feel, Yasmin?”

Yasmin stayed silent, knowing Annalise had more to say. “You can just get to the point,

Anna.”

“Here’s my suggestion, Yasmin. Since Blake isn’t fond of you and Giselle is now pregnant, why don’t you divorce Blake? That way, Giselle can officially marry him.”

Yasmin was stunned. Annalise was siding with Giselle because of the baby. She wanted to separate Yasmin and Blake.

But it wasn’t that Yasmin didn’t want to divorce Blake. Blake desired revenge against her, and Stuart wouldn’t agree to the divorce either.

Yasmin’s gaze dulled at the thought of her father.

Annalise then mentioned Stuart. “It would pain me to see you alone without support, Yasmin. Why don’t I help get your father out of prison in exchange for you helping me fulfill my one wish?”

Yasmin was stunned. “Really? Would you really help get my Dad out, Anna?”

Stuart still had several years left in his sentence. If Annalise could get him out early, Yasmin could divorce Blake.

Stuart could protect her then. The two of them could live together in peace.

Annalise said, “If you let Blake’s child become legitimate in our family, I’ll definitely help you get your father out of prison. That way, your family can reunite. I’ll also give you some money so your father can enjoy his life ahead.”

Annalise was giving it her all to have a grandchild now.
