Chapter 37


    “Then why did that O’Shea woman go around saying that she was the one in the car?” Arthur


    asked.


    War


    ke answered, “She just trying to hype things up. We have a new projectunching soon. The


    company needs some publicity.”


    Arthur’s rage dissipated by half at his words. He asked, “You’ve settled on a new project so soon?”


    “When have I ever disappointed you?” ke smiled.


    This was why Arthur liked him. He was level–headed and capable. It was the reason Arthur had


    handed him the reins for Windmere Group.


    Now that they were done talking about work, Arthur moved on to urging them to start a family.


    “You’re not getting any younger, ke. Stop going abroad on business trips. Delegate the things to


    your subordinates. You should focus on your family and have a child with Yasmin soon. I want a


    great–grandchild.”


    Now that he was getting on in years, Arthur’s biggest wish was to have a great–grandchild. ke


    nced at Yasmin with his smile intact. He said, “Okay.”


    Yasmin lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. ke did already have a child, but she wasn’t the one


    carrying it–Giselle was. She wondered whether Arthur would relent and allow Giselle to marry ke


    if he found out about it.


    Yasmin stood there for a while. When she saw Annalise head into the kitchen, she followed her to


    offer her help. In the kitchen, Annalise instructed the maids to make sure everything was cooked to


    perfection.


    Annalise was 58 this year. She’d lost her husband when she was younger and had gotten cancer in


    theter part of her life. She had to take targeted drugs every month now to keep the condition


    under control. She didn’t have long to live.


    Just like Arthur, her biggest wish was to see ke start a family. And so, when Yasmin. stepped


    into the kitchen, the first thing Annalise did was ask, “Do you have any good news for me,


    Yasmin?”


    Annalise had been urging them to have kids sincest year. If Yasmin were to have a child, it would


    please Arthur, and Annalise would stop being against her and ke.


    She wasn’t satisfied with Yasmin, to begin with. She thought Yasmin wasn’t worthy of ke.


    Two years ago, if not for Stuart luring ke into a trap, he wouldn’t have married Yasmin. She was


    nothing but a pretty face.


    To make matters worse, Yasmin had yet to get pregnant despite being married to ke for two


    years. This upset Annalise even more.


    “Not yet.” Yasmin shook her head and lowered her gaze.


    Annalise felt like she had something lodged in her throat. “Neil’s son is 28 this year. He just got


    marriedst year. I heard she’s already pregnant now. If their child is the first boy of the Ford


    family’s next generation, Arthur may just give them some shares if he’s happy. You’ll put ke in a


    tough spot.”


    Yasmin listened to her quietly. She didn’t respond. Whenever they came here, Annalise would say


    these things to her. She knew Annalise and Arthur wanted ke to have a child, but what could she


    do when things weren’t going her way?


    “ke’s already 30 this year,” Annalise continued. After continuing in this vein for a while longer, a


    maid came in to say that ke’s uncle, Neil Ford, and his family had arrived.


    Annalise paused, then said to Yasmin, “You’re such a disappointment!”


    With that, she turned and left the kitchen. Yasmin remained rooted to the spot. She sighed softly.


    She had to stop beating herself up over these things. They wouldn’t have anything to do with her in


    the future anyway.


    Yasmin was only here for Eunice’s sake. Once this matter had been dealt with, she would never


    step foot in Ford Residence again. She picked up the pot of broth and brought it to the dining hall.

    Annalise was receiving Neil and his wife–they were Roxy’s parents. Roxy was also present. She


    was dressed in branded items from head to toe. She looked at Yasmin with a bright smile.


    Yasmin couldn’t be bothered to say anything to her. She searched the ce for ke, but he wasn’t


    around. He was probably having a game of chess with Arthur. Whenever they came here, ke


    and Arthur would discuss thepany’s confidential matters over chess.


    “Go upstairs and call Arthur and ke to the meal,” Annalise said to one of the maids. Then, she


    turned to Yasmin and said, “Help set the table.”
