Chapter 48

Blake didn’t respond to Yasmin’s words. He only said, “Just keep yourself in check, Mrs. Ford. No one will pressure you.”

Yasmin smiled. “But I don’t want to be Mrs. Ford.”

Blake’s brows furrowed.

The two gazed at one another for some time in the dark.

Blake’s gaze was intense.

For some reason, Yasmin felt like Blake was actually considerate of her. So she asked, “Can I ask you a question, Mr. B?”

“What is it?”

“If you had a chance to, would you end things with Giselle?” This was Yasmin’s final plea.

Blake was silent for some time before he said, “No.”

Yasmin smiled, mocking herself. “Then things won’t change. You don’t need to question how I want to live my life from now on.”

She might not be able to divorce him, but she couldn’t love him anymore.

Maybe Blake was reluctant to let Yasmin go. That didn’t stem from love but from habit. Blake had gotten used to his pretty, obedient little plaything in bed. Who wouldn’t be reluctant to let that go?

“I told you, I don’t agree to the divorce.” Blake gazed sternly at Yasmin.

Yasmin pried his hand away, her eyes dull. “I know. Do you want to torment me? Then keep at it. Just please let me go whenever you finally get bored of doing it.”

She then turned around to sleep.

Blake saw how Yasmin was curled up, seemingly helpless. He wanted to hold her in his arms. But his phone then rang.

It was from Giselle.

Blake answered the call. It was Erik who spoke from the other end of the call, “Giselle accidentally fell at the club earlier, Blake…”

Blake’s expression had grown cold even before Erik finished speaking. “Is the baby alright?” “We don’t know for sure yet. Joel’s already sent her to the hospital. Hurry up and come over!

Blake eyed Yasmin briefly, his expression serious. In the end, he still abandoned Yasmin, put on his coat, and left.

Yasmin lay on the bed alone. She had heard how anxious Blake was earlier.

ke was so worried about Giselle and his baby.

Blake

Yasmin sighed, coming to terms with the fact that she couldn’t overestimate herself

anymore.

The next morning, Yasmin turned around to find the spot beside her cool to the touch. Blake hadn’t returned the entire night.

Yasmin was upset for a couple of seconds before she let go of the feeling.

She wasn’t upset.

She had won 2 million dollars last night and paid back what she owed to Blake. From now on, Yasmin wasn’t indebted to him anymore. She could freely do what she wanted and be herself.

Yasmin went downstairs.

Arthur had gone fishing, so there was no one else in the living room.

Yasmin packed her things, preparing to leave. She bumped into Annalise right at the front door.

Annalise had her own place to live in, so she never usually stayed in Ford Residence.

Annalise was on a call in the doorway. Her eyes brightened as if she heard some wonderful news. “Really?”

The caller spoke some more on the other end of the line. Annalise then smiled and said,” Thank you so much. I’ll visit you soon.”

Yasmin was about to turn back after seeing Annalise when the latter noticed her.

“Yasmin,” Annalise called.

Yasmin turned around to greet her with a smile. “Anna.”

“Are you going back to Oak Garden?” Annalise asked her.

“Mhm.”

“Where’s Blake?”

“He hasn’t come back since going out last night,” Yasmin answered truthfully.

Annalise said nothing about that. “Get in my car. I’ll have my driver send you back.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Yasmin climbed into Annalise’s car, with Annalise in the seat beside her.

Yasmin didn’t dare look at her phone, so she sat silently with her mother–in–law in the car, feeling uncomfortable.

“I heard that woman Blake fools around with is pregnant, Yasmin,” Annalise said all of a sudden.
