Chapter 853

Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened as night fell.

Upon returning home, Blake went upstairs to find Yasmin sketching in the bedroom with her back facing the door. She seemed engrossed in her work.

Blake leaned against the doorway and watched her for a while. At that moment, Mary came up with the dinner tray. Noticing her, Blake offered, "Here, I'll bring the tray in."

Mary handed the tray to him. He brought it into the room and prompted gently, "Time for dinner, Yaz."

Yasmin turned around and eyed him stonily. "Just leave it there."

Blake said nothing as he set the tray down. He then walked over to her work table and watched her sketch with a tender look in his eyes.

She felt her skin crawl under his gaze, and she couldn't work with him breathing down her neck. She turned her face to the side and snapped, "You can go now."

Yasmin's mood had improved over the last few days since Blake started sleeping in his study. She appreciated the peace that came with his absence.
