Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 133

"I don't mean it that way!" Yasmin quickly recollected her thoughts and prepared Arthur some tea.

While Arthur's authoritative presence deeply intimidated her, it also impressed her at the same time.

He certainly carried things out in demeanor befitting of a prominent figure.

"Grandpa, here's your tea!" Yasmin then placed a cup of tea in front of Arthur and said.

Arthur took the tea and slowly sipped on it.

Then, he said, "Did I look cool just now?"

Yasmin was at a loss for words.

She thought she had misheard him, so she looked at Arthur again and said, "Huh?"

"I gave that woman a good scolding for you just now. Didn't I look cool?" Arthur added in a composed manner.

"Yeah, you looked cool!" Yasmin honestly answered.

"You don't need to be afraid of her. After all, that child might not necessarily be Blake's," Arthur said. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After giving it some thought, Yasmn asked, "If it weren't true, what gave her the courage to deceive everyone? Wouldn't she be afraid of her lies being exposed and losing everything in the end?"

"You know what she'd do?" Arthur took a lollipop from the table and said, "First, she'll take you down.

And then, she'll gradually replace you.

"And when she really becomes pregnant with Blake's child then, who would care whether or not the first child was truly Blake's?"

Would Giselle really be so bold?

But upon seeing Arthur indulging in the lollipop, Yasmin hastily shouted, "Hey! Grandpa, you have high blood sugar level, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. You shouldn't be eating lollipops."

"I'm only having one." Arthur popped the lollipop into his mouth. "I haven't had one in such a long time."

Yasmin was speechless.

She scolded, "You said the same thing when you snuck some bites of the cake last time."

Arthur was a foodie—Yasmin first discovered this side of him when she'd caught him eating her cake in the middle of the night.

Back then, he had also pitifully said, "I haven't eaten it in a long time."

At the time, Yasmin felt sorry for him, so she let him enjoy the food.

However, Annalise had given her a rough scolding the next day for it.

After that incident, Yasmin learned that Arthur had several health concerns, and it wasn't that the Ford family wouldn't let him enjoy those foods—he simply shouldn't consume them!

"Grandpa, you really shouldn't eat this." Yasmin told Arthur.

But Arthur shot her a glare and said, "Come on, I'm only having one. Oh right, let Blake know that I'll be staying at your place tonight."

"What?" Yasmin was shocked. "Grandpa, you're staying over at our place?"

"What's wrong? It seems like you're not very welcoming of me." Arthur's gaze turned serious.

Yasmin was frightened and hastily said, "No, of course we welcome you."

She then quickly hid in the toilet and dialed Blake's phone.

"Hello, Blake? Your grandpa suddenly visited the studio to see me. He said he wants to stay at Oak Garden tonight."

"Why did he look for you at Erinnyes all of a sudden?" Blake asked.

Yasmin shook her head. "I don't know. He said he visited to check on my work environment."

Blake paused for a moment.

Then, his tone was calm as he said, "Get Mary to fetch ingredients suitable for an elderly to eat."

"What? That's all?" Yasmin exclaimed.

"What? Do you want me to kick him out?" Blake retorted.

"Of course not."

Of course, Yasmin wouldn't shoo Arthur away. She liked him because he was the only one in the Ford family that treated her kindly.

After getting Blake's instructions, Yasmin made a call to Oak Garden and got Mary to get the ingredients.

Upon returning to the office, Yasmin saw Arthur sitting in her chair examining her drafts.

When he saw her walk in, he glanced over and said, "Not bad, Yasmin. The clothes you designed are brilliant."

Yasmin was amused and said, "Grandpa, are you sure you can understand them?"

"How do I put it? I was a businessman, and I have quite an eye for things.

"Now, since your grandpa's here, why don't you take my measurements and make me a suit?" Arthur insisted on getting his suit done.
