"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.
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.
