Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 602

Plus, Nadine treated her incredibly well. During the birthday banquet that evening, Grandma had called both her and Stella up to the front and gifted each of them a jade bracelet, saying they were specially prepared just for the two of them.

Although the Blackwood family had many distant relatives, Jason's immediate household was quite simple and very easy to get along with. His parents were also wonderful to her.

Most importantly, she adored Stella. If things worked out with Jason, she and Stella would become sisters-in-law, which meant they could just be sisters for life.

Thinking of it that way made the prospect even more appealing, so she decided giving a relationship with Jason a shot wasn't a bad idea.

"Sabrina, this is amazing! I'm so happy. Come here, give your darling boyfriend another kiss."

With that, Jason leaned in again.

Sabrina pushed his face away. "That's enough out of you. Get lost, I need to sleep."

The man was utterly shameless. They had just made things official, and he was already trying to push his luck.

"How can you be so cruel? We just became a couple, and you're already kicking me out?"

She glared at him. "Jason Blackwood, don't make me regret saying yes to you."

"Okay, okay, I'm going. I'm rolling out right now."

He knew better than to push too hard. He had achieved his goal for the night, and he was completely satisfied and at peace.

The unbearable knot in his chest from earlier had vanished the moment she said yes.

Perhaps, deep down, he had been in love with her all along.

It was a pretty great tradeoff—he only had to take one slap to get a girlfriend.

...

The next morning.

She simply hadn't expected her cousin to care so deeply about the woman.

Larry led the two women into the living room and politely informed them, "The madam is out for a walk, and Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood haven't woken up yet. You're welcome to wait here or take a stroll in the gardens."

The old lady had a habit of taking a morning walk and wasn't back yet.

Larry knew exactly what had happened at the banquet last night, having been right there managing the gift registry.

Seeing the mother and daughter show up at the crack of dawn, he knew they were here to do damage control.

But they were awfully early. If one didn't know better, they'd assume the pair came just to score a free breakfast.

Yasmin replied politely, "That's perfectly fine, Larry. We'll just wait here. Please, go about your duties."

The butler had served the Blackwood family for years and held the complete trust of both the matriarch and her grandsons. Yasmin didn't dare pull rank with him.
