Seeing that Sebastian Simons was slowly turning into a beast, Yasmine Taylor knew that he would not be satisfied with just canoodling around. Once his desire was ignited, it would be an uncontrollable rampage.
"Sebastian, wake up... clear your head up."
He paused for a moment, stretched his arms around her waist, "I'm very sober now."
Sebastian said firmly as he left bite marks around her neck.
"You'll have a bad influence on the children..."
"They are no bigger than my palm. How would they be influenced?"
She trembled and moaned subconsciously. She struggled to stay conscious and knew that they could not go on like this. She bit her lip and said deliberately, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much."
This move was very effective. Sebastian's head, which was initially buried in her chest, immediately lifted up. He asked in a panic, "Where does it hurt?"
"Here,"
She pointed to her right abdomen.
Sebastian was nervous about the children in her belly, so when he heard that her stomach was in pain, his nerves tensed up immediately. He leaned over her belly and comforted himself, "It's okay, it's okay. The children probably kicked you accidentally."
Yasmine glared at him and huffed. "Do you think that they could kick me already?"
"Hm... In that case, were you too sensitive? Or were you imagining things?"
"I'm not. It really hurts."
Sebastian was anxious at this point, "Well, forget it.
I won't touch you anymore. You will feel pain wherever I touch you."
Yasmine held back her laughter, "Would you like to take a cold shower?"
"Of course. I feel like I've been pushed into a fire pit!"
Sebastian got up and went straight into the bathroom. Soon, she heard the sound of him turning on the water.
About ten minutes later, he came out and said to Yasmine, who was reading a magazine on the bed. "Come here, I'll show you something."
"What?"
Yasmine jumped out of bed with interest, and her stomach didn't hurt anymore.
Sebastian took out a picture scroll from his suitcase and loosened the rope that was binding it. What appeared in front of her eyes was a beautiful landscape painting.
"Wow, it's magnificent..."
Yasmine exclaimed and she looked at the seal at the end of the painting. "This should be Johannes Vermeer's authentic work, right?" "Yes, you have a good taste,"
Sebastian nodded, "Do you know the reason I had bought this painting?"
"What else could it be? Don't you like to collect these precious paintings?"
"No, this is a gift."
"Who are you giving it to?"
"Master Blaine."
"Master Blaine? Why do you want to give it to him?" Yasmine was startled for a moment and she quickly reacted. "Do you want to use this painting to win him over?"
"Yes."
She frowned, "The painting is really good, but will he like it?"
"He will definitely like it."
"How could you be sure?"
"As the saying goes, only when a wise man knows his enemy could he win hundreds of battles."
"Are you saying that Master Blaine is interested in landscape paintings?"
"To be precise, he is interested in Johannes Vermeer's landscape paintings. Those who know him well will know that he is especially fond of Johannes Vermeer's works."
Yasmine was enlightened. "When are you going to give it to him?"
"Tomorrow."
"Could I come with you? I want to see what kind of person this Master Blaine is and just how powerful he is."
"No way."
Sebastian refused immediately. "You are pregnant now. I don't want you to be involved in these things."
Yasmine knew that once Sebastian had set his mind, he would not be easily influenced. Therefore, she stopped begging him and gave up resentfully.
On the afternoon of the next day, Sebastian came to the temporary residence of Master Blaine with the paintings. There were only two servants in the large house, which Sebastian knew was just for show. He was aware that Master Blaine's underground network was very extensive.
