The Oak Garden was located in the mountains. Without a car, it was very inconvenient to go anywhere.Blake gazed at Yasmin. She looked kind, cute, and fresh-faced as she stood before him, just like during those days they had spent together.He contemplated it. Deciding that she was most likely tired of asking him for a divorce and was being sincere, he said, "That car was always yours."Yasmin nodded with a smile. "Then I'll be leaving now. Oh, right. When you see Giselle, remember to get her some flowers. Girls love flowers. It would make her happy."With that, she left the dining hall.Blake's spoon froze in mid-air. He looked up at her, but she was already gone. She seemed genuinely happy, and it didn't seem like she was being cynical at all.Yet, it made him feel uncomfortable. He felt something niggling at his heart, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.Yasmin went to her studio and spent the entire day drawing.Eunice came upstairs with her phone in her hand. Frowning, she s
When Yasmin saw the text, she was stunned.She didn't expect Annalise to move so quickly. It had just been a day, and she had already arranged a blind date candidate for her. She had even sent the man's number over.Yasmin added him to her contacts.It was good. The earlier she settled this, the sooner she would be free.She replied to Annalise with "Okay." Then, she turned around and picked a new dress that she had designed in her studio. She did some light makeup before going on her blind date.Just as she picked up her purse, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Blake calling."Hello?" she answered as she walked down the stairs. "Do you need me for something, Mr. Ford?"She was going to start calling him Mr. Ford now.Blake frowned on the other end of the line. "Why are you calling me Mr. Ford?""I think it's a good form of address." With that, she fell silent, waiting for him to say something."Do you have time tonight?" he asked."What's the matter?""Le
"Alright." Yasmin was still quite calm. With the two men outside cursing at her, she would be a fool to open the door.Seeing that she refused to open the door, one of the men went insane. He hooked his hands under the car and tried to lift it.Yasmin's face drained of color. "What are you doing?"These drunkards seemed to have lost their minds after drinking so much.The car lifted into the air, and Yasmin's heart clenched. At that critical moment, someone rushed over and pulled the burly man off, then punched him.Upon turning around, the burly man found himself surrounded by numerous bodyguards, and a beating lasting half an hour followed.When the car landed back on the ground, Yasmin's heart went into overdrive from fear. She clutched her chest. At that moment, she saw an elegant man walking over. A pair of frameless glasses were perched on his high nose. He had a quiet air to him.Ivan?Before she could finish processing everything, Ivan was already standing in front of h
Ivan noticed it. He gave her a gentle smile and said, "Sorry, I was too close, wasn't I?"Yasmin replied, "No worries. You don't have to apologize."She believed that it wasn't intentional.Ivan helped her sit down in the consultation room.When the doctor asked her questions, she answered them meekly and obediently.She was a woman who left a great first impression upon first sight. She was pretty, but not threatening. Ivan observed her from the side. Once the doctor was finished with the report, he went over and helped her up. "Ms. Starr, I'll walk you to the X-ray room.""Thanks," Yasmin said. Ivan grabbed her bag and casually looped it around his arm.Yasmin was slightly taken aback but said nothing. She went to the X-ray room with him.There was a queue for the X-ray machine. Ivan sat down next to her. He pierced the box of strawberry milk with a straw and held it to her lips. "Have some milk.""Thank you." Yasmin took the milk and sipped at it quietly. Her long hair ca
"Alright." Ivan bade Giselle goodbye, then left with Yasmin.Yasmin walked for a bit. Suddenly, she turned her head to see Giselle pointing her phone at them, taking a photo of her and Ivan.Their eyes met.Giselle lowered her phone. Then, she cocked her head and smiled.Yasmin knew that Giselle was going to show the photo of her and Ivan to Blake.What a scheming little vixen.Yasmin was confident that Giselle would make things seem more significant than it really was.And she wasn't wrong. After getting back, Giselle texted Blake, "Blake, do you know what Yasmin is up to? I saw her and Ivan together at the hospital earlier."Confused, Blake replied with a question mark. Giselle sent the photo of Yasmin and Ivan. "I saw Ivan taking Yasmin to the hospital. Ivan was holding her purse, and they looked intimate."Blake was in the middle of dinner at home. When he saw the photo, he was shocked."Sir, the chicken soup is ready. Shall I fetch you a bowl now, or would you like to
Yasmin felt a little awkward. "Thanks for sending me home.""It's what I should do. By the way, I've asked someone to send your car for repair. When it's done, I'll let you know.""Thanks so much.""It's nothing." Ivan smiled.He was so detail-oriented.Yasmin could only say one thing. "Thank you!"Ivan parked his car outside the Oak Garden. He peered at the minimalist villa with dark eyes. "You live here?""Yes. Thanks for sending me home." Yasmin didn't say anything further. She took the cake and got down."Yasmin!" Ivan suddenly called out.Yasmin turned around, still holding the cake. The moonlight made her soft features dazzle. "What is it?""I think you're really great." Ivan smiled softly. "Both you and your work are great. What do you think about working together with the NAS Group? We could start something revolutionary."Something revolutionary?Yasmin's heart throbbed.She would be lying if she said it didn't.After working hard for so many years, she craved su
Blake's rage was now evident on his face. He chuckled coldly and said, "You want to cheat on me, don't you?""You also cheated on me. Furthermore, if I didn't give you permission, would you break things off with Giselle?" she said, smiling happily.Blake's eyes froze over. "Not a chance."Yasmin already knew that he wouldn't end things with Giselle.Thus, she spread her hands. "See? You two got together and made him suffer alone. Do you think that's fair? Nonetheless, I got over it. Since you don't love me, then you can go be with the one you like. "However, I still need an angel to soothe my soul, so don't stop me. We can find our own happiness, and we don't have to fight at home anymore. Isn't that a good thing?"As he listened to what she said, his gaze darkened. He suddenly grabbed her hand and said darkly, "Don't you dare."Yasmin jumped in fright. He had grabbed her swollen left hand. She frowned in pain. "You're hurting me."Only then did Blake realize that her wrist wa
Blake was pressing very closely to Yasmin, but she couldn't back away. She replied, "Of course. Mr. Burke is a pretty nice person.""What if he finds out that you're married and doesn't want you anymore?" Blake said coldly."Then I'll find someone else. There are more fish in the sea. With my looks, I'm sure I can find someone.""It seems like you've made up your mind to cheat."Yasmin laughed. "You refuse to get a divorce, so I have no other choice. If you can have someone else, then so can I. Everyone will be happy then. This is only fair."Blake stared at her seriously. He appeared to be still convinced that she was playing tricks. Then, he said darkly, "Fine. I want to see whether he'll still love you when he finds out the truth.""If you don't get involved, I'm sure our relationship will progress well." Yasmin smiled."I don't have that much free time." Blake snorted coldly. Then, he said while smiling, "As for your figure…"Before he finished speaking, he yanked the colla
