Chapter 41


    Yasmin’s footsteps stopped. She heard ke say, “You don’t need to worry about this.”


    “I don’t need to worry? This is your marriage. You’re already 30 years old, ke. With how my


    health is nowadays, who knows how many more years I can live? My only wish is to see you have


    children. When your position in thepany is stable, and I’m gone from this world, you’d still have


    a child to keep youpany.


    ke didn’t respond to Annalise’s words. He turned and walked into the room.


    Annalise’s chest felt heavy. She turned around and spotted Yasmin. Her expression immediately


    turned glum. “How long have you been standing there?”


    “I just came up,” Yasmin replied.


    “ke is so distant and never initiates anything. You should make the first move. Both of you are


    married now, so there’s no reason not to be more open with one another. y coy with him. Men


    love it when women do that.”


    Annalise urged Yasmin to seduce ke. Annalise felt like if she tried enough and they used those


    herbs she prepared, Yasmin was bound to get pregnant soon.


    Yasmin exined, “ke goes outstation for such long periods every month. There’s barely a


    chance for me to make the first move.”


    “Well, isn’t he home now?” Annalise shot her a look. “I told him not to go to his client meetings as


    muchtely. You two better spend all your time together.”


    Annalise then went to brew more herbs.


    Yasmin wanted to vomit at the thought of those herbal brews.


    But in retrospect, she no longer wanted ke’s children. So it didn’t matter whether Annalise


    brewed them since Yasmin wouldn’t be drinking it.


    Yasmin entered the bedroom. The sound of water in the bathroom told her that ke was


    showering.


    Yasmin had nothing to do, so she sat on the bed and switched on the television. She didn’t expect


    to see a broadcast of Ivan being interviewed.


    Ivan was sitting on a couch wearing a dark suit. His voice was rich and sensual.


    Ivan appeared on television so often and behaved with such elegance. He wouldn’t be a


    scammer, right?


    Yasmin suddenly wanted to work together with him again.


    She wanted to seed too much.


    She wanted to tell everyone that she had the capability to live out her own life. She wanted to prove


    that she wasn’t some trophy wife who depended on ke Ford.


    While Yasmin was deep in thought, ke walked out of the bathroom draped in a towel. He shut off


    the TV.


    Yasmin looked over and saw ke’s toned, muscr body. Her breath caught in her throat.


    She quickly looked away. “Why did you switch the TV off? I was watching something.”


    ke eyed her, his expression glum. “Were you watching the TV, or were you watching Ivan?


    “It just so happened he was on the news.” Yasmin didn’t dare look at his body as it was too much


    for her eyes.


    She turned to look at the trees outside the window. But ke saw this as Yasmin feeling guilty.


    He sat and turned her face toward him, using a hand on her chin. “Do you find him attractive?”


    “What does that have to do with you?”


    “Don’t forget you only got hit yesterday because of him.”


    “That’s only because of Roxy’s little tantrum. What does it have to do with Ivan?”

    ke’s grip on Yasmin’s chin tightened. He said solemnly, “You’re so protective of him. Trying to


    cheat on me,


    hm?”


    Yasmin winced from the pain. She remarked snarkily, “Funny. You can keep a mistress of your own,


    yet the moment I get to know someone, it means I’m cheating. Can you not have such high double


    standards, ke Ford?”


    Got to know someone?


    ke rxed upon hearing this. “I’m just reminding you not to behave in such an undignified


    manner. You’re not fit to be with Ivan.”
