Chapter 75
At the snowfield, Ivan said gently, “Yasmin, when you’re skiing, don’t focus on the ground. Look ahead.”
“Okay!” Yasmin nodded and lifted her gaze. She then locked eyes with Blake. He sat there, a staff member kneeling to attach the snowboard to his feet. His face bore a cold and grim expression.
Their eyes met. He was glaring at her.
Yasmin was startled, and her heart raced. Then, her speed spiraled out of control. She thought she was about to fall, and her eyes widened in terror. “Help!” she could not help but
scream.
Beside her, Ivan wore a smirk as he scooped her up. She practically pounced on him,
pressing against his chest. After the initial bump, he took a step back, managing to maintain his grip on her.
They looked at each other in the snow, and the scene resembled a romantic drama.
“Oh my goodness! That’s like a scene from a romantic drama.” Joel was sitting next to Blake, slapping his thigh..
He continued, “Now would be the perfect timing for some music. I feel like falling in love by just watching it.”
Blake gave him a cold side–eye. “No one would mistake you for a mute if you don’t speak.”
“I think it’s romantic. A compliment won’t hurt.” Joel sensed his displeasure and proceeded
to add fuel to the fire.
He added, “But it’s genuinely romantic. I’m not lying.”
“I also think they would make a great couple,” Giselle commented as she looked in Yasmin’s
direction.
Joel said, “Right? They’re indeed a lovely couple, just like the characters from a romantic
drama.”
Giselle hummed in agreement as she sat down. 1
Blake remained silent until he noticed Yasmin looking in their direction from a distance. He immediately averted his gaze and turned his head to Giselle. “Do you want to try it? I can
1/3
teach you.”
Giselle was surprised that Blake volunteered to teach her skiing because he usually ignored her all the time. She looked up and saw Yasmin watching them. Then, she understood that it was because of Yasmin’s gaze.
She subtly clenched her fists and smiled gently, “I can’t play. Don’t forget that I’m pregnant. I can’t engage in strenuous exercise.” Even though she wore skiing attire, she did not participate. She was there for company and to take some selfies. 1
Picking up her phone, she was about to ask Blake and Joel to look at the camera. However, Blake grabbed his ski pole and slid away. Giselle’s frozen smile remained on the phone.
Joel chuckled, “Blake has always been this way. Taking photos is not his thing. Don’t mind him.” With that, he also glided away.
Giselle remained alone in the resting area. Peering through the floor–to–ceiling windows, she watched the people outside having a great time in the snow.
Joel slid over to Yasmin’s side and greeted her with a smile, “Hi, Yasmin. How’s my best friend’s darling doing?”
Upon hearing his address, Ivan slightly frowned as he looked coldly at Joel’s charming face.
Joel smiled at him, “Hi, Mr. Burke.”
Ivan asked in disdain, “Did you all come together?”
“Yeah,” Joel admitted. They all belonged to the upper class and had business connections. Hence, they knew each other.
Joel asked Ivan, “Can I have a word with my best friend’s darling?”
