I’llclose my eyes and never open them again. I’m just so scared I won’t have the chance to see your and Caleb’s child!”

Tasmin wanded to say that Gracle might not have a chance to see the child she was willing for Calch and her. However, the might get a better shet if it were another couple.
Gacie hrld Yasmin’s hand, looking pitiful as she stared at her with pleading eyes. “Yasenin, my birthday wish this year is to carry my great–grandchild. Can’t you take pityen me?”
Yumin didn’t know how to respond..
“Alright, stop the act,” Caleb, who had been watching this drama untold, finallyisterngtel “Yaunin is still young. She’s not having children.”

A fleeting side flashed in Caleb’s eyes. He was used to wearing a subde, fonnal smile, but now, this extrahint of amusement made his expression harder to read also gave him an unexpectedly more human touch.
For some reason, Yasmin couldn’t shake the feeling that Caleb was feeling smug. She quickly looked away, her ears burning at the inappropriate thoughts that came to mind.
Yasmin tried to find an excuse. “I’m still studying. It’s not the right time to have childre”
Grace muttered disapprovingly. “Three years of marriage and still no children? People will start passiping that something’s wrong with your health.”
Galeb was the future heir of the Grant family, and with so many eyes on him, not having children would only fuel criticism about his path to power,
In truth, Yasmin was completely in love with Caleb during their first two years of marriage. She had even thought they might have a baby if they were lucky enough
Who could have known that they would rarely meet during those two years? After that, he’d always make sure precautions were taken when they were intimate. It was as though he was terrified she might pet pregat

Caleb responded indifferently, “just tell them I’m sick, so I can’t have kids.”
Yasmin was speechless
“Your“Grace was ready to strike him with her cane. lace she could act on her words, someone came to call for Caleb. Benjamin wanted to see him
Grace held Yasm and sud, “Go away, Calb. Yasmin, stay here with me. Be a good girl and keep an eye on him when you get home. He’s impossible!”
Before Caleb walked off, he threw a quick glance at Yasmin. However, she was entirely focused on Grace and didn’t notice him.
Just then, Sasha Grant Laughed and said, “How could Tasmin control Caleb? Look, she’s not even wearing her wedding ring. I’m starting to thank those divorce rumors might be
Sasha had come today with her grandson to win Gracie’s favor. However, the moment Yasmin cerumed, her grandson was completely ignored.
Everyone’s attention shifted to Yasmin’s hands–bath were bare, without rings. They looked at her doubtfully
Giracle’s expression darkened and glared at Sasha
there something wrong with your relationship with Caleb?” Gracle asked, her hands tightly gripping
“The ring was too eye–catching, I took it off the other day when I was at work, and I must’ve forgotten to put it back on,” Yasmin explained, luting her left hand and casually waving her wrist. She deftly avoided the question and changed the tople“:“But I’m still wearing the bracelet Caleb gave me. Don’t overthinki“
“Good girl II Caleb is giving you trouble, just tell me. I’ll uke care of you!
Yamin Jelapang of guilt as she nodded

“Hasn’t our family already given her a great–grandson? Why does the act like only Caleb’s child mutters?
“Caleband Yasmin? They’re a poor match. He’s distant, and she’s a show. Yet both the Grant Senior at them like royalty.”
“Caleb might not be where he is today I hadn’t been raised by Benjami
They were surprised to hear Yasmin’s voice.

Vanessa looked flustered as she asked, “When did you get herei
Yasmin smiled and replied, “Right when you were talking about how Mr. and Mrs. Geant Senior favors Caleb and me.”
Vanessa and Sasha exchanged a quick, awkward glance.
“How many people in the Grant family, including yours, have benefited from Caleb’s hard work and dedication? If you don’t appreciate what he’s done er resent his position, who do you think could do better? Who dares to say they could do better?”
Yasmin might be divorcing Caleb, but that didn’t mean she’d sit idly by while they spoke ill of him.
Sasha, who had never liked Yasmin, let out a condescending laugh and gave her a disdainful look
“You’re defending Caleb so fiercely, but does he even care about you? After all these years, you’re still chasing after him shamelessly,”
