Chapter 48


    ke 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.”


    ke’s brows furrowed.


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


    ke’s gaze was intense.


    For some reason, Yasmin felt like ke 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.


    ke 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 ke was reluctant to let Yasmin go. That didn’t stem from love but from habit. ke had


    gotten used to his pretty, obedient little ything in bed. Who wouldn’t be reluctant to let that go?


    “I told you, I don’t agree to the divorce.” ke 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.


    ke 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.


    ke answered the call. It was Erik who spoke from the other end of the call, “Giselle identally


    fell at the club earlier, ke…”


    ke’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 ande over!


    ke eyed Yasmin briefly, his expression serious. In the end, he still abandoned Yasmin, put on his


    coat, and left.


    Yasminy on the bed alone. She had heard how anxious ke was earlier.


    ke was so worried about Giselle and his baby.


    ke


    Yasmin sighed,ing 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. ke 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 dorsst night and paid back what she owed to ke. 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 ce 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 thetter 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 ke?”


    “He hasn’te back since going outst night,” Yasmin answered truthfully.


    Annalise said nothing about that. “Get in my car. I’ll have my driver send you back.”


    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–inw in the car, feeling


    ufortable.


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