Chapter 124
Yasmin replied, "I said I didn''t. I didn''t have an invitation letter when I arrived.
"I just happened to bump into Ivan, and he brought me in with him."
ke stayed silent, but his motions were gentler as he applied the ointment to her blisters.
But this was something that he himself didn''t even realize.
"A man like him doesn''t suit you," ke finally said.
"I think he''s quite nice." Yasmin didn''t like hearing ke talk badly about Ivan, so she stood up for
him and said, "Take tonight for example—he stood up for me and questioned Roxy without ever
doubting me."
"That''s because he wants to sleep with you!" ke''s actions became harsh again.
Instantly, Yasmin''s brows furrowed as she hissed in pain.
ke then examined her injuries, his expression only returning to normal when he saw that they
didn''t seem serious.
Then, he calmly said, "Nobody treats someone so well for no reason."
"I think you just don''t like him," Yasmin replied.
"Isn''t that normal?" ke snorted. "He looks like a gentleman, yet he sticks close to you even
though he knows you''re married. Isn''t that disgusting?"
Yasmin fell silent.

She was finally realizing how sharp-tongued ke could be.
As she thought of this, ke suddenly grabbed her arm and warned in a low voice, "Stay away from
him from now on."
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Yasmin demanded.
But ke''s expression was stern as he said, "Go ahead if you want to be his booty call."
"He''s not as despicable as you think he is." Yasmin continued defending Ivan.
ke then tightened his grip on her, and in a sarcastic tone, he snorted. "Only a fool like you would
believe him."
"Why do you hate me so much?" Yasmin''s hand was hurting from ke''s grip, and tears began to
stream down her face. "You''re always like this. My father might have tricked you, but I''m your wife.
"I''ve treated you as best as I could for the past two years and never said anything to hurt you, but
you always sting me with your words.
"Am I really that terrible?"
Yasmin felt so hurt that she could no longer hold back her thoughts.
ke had never treated her nicely during the past two years they''d been married.
In fact, he seemed to treat her like she was his father''s murderer.
"I just think you''re a fool who''s easy for people to trick." ke lowered his voice when Yasmin
started to cry.
"Even if I''m a fool, it has nothing to do with you, does it? I''m alright with being lied to, okay? Are you
happy now?" Yasmin snapped as she angrily jumped off the bed.
But as soon as her feet touched the floor, she trembled in pain.
Her blisters hurt so badly!
ke was startled for a moment before subconsciously picking Yasmin up and putting her back on
the bed.
Then, Yasmin began to quietly weep.
As ke watched her cry, his heart felt a little heavy, and he soon gathered her into his arms.
However, Yasmin immediately began struggling, trying to break free from his embrace.
Despite this, ke continued to tightly hug Yasmin, not allowing her to escape.
With no way out, Yasmin began pounding her fists on ke''s chest.
Yet, ke simply maintained his firm hold on her, unmoving.
Infuriated, Yasmin wiped her tears on his shirt and bit his chest instead.
Her teeth then broke the material of ke''s shirt and left a bloody stain above his heart.
However, ke simply responded to her actions by grunting and still refused to let her go.
Yasmin was stunned.
Was ke an idiot? Why didn''t he push her away when she bit him?
Yasmin stared at ke with tear-filled eyes.
Then, ke pressed his lips together before solemnly saying, "Even if you''re alright with getting
tricked, I''m not."
Yasmin was taken aback by ke''s words.
Then, ke continued, "You''re mine, and I won''t allow anyone to hurt you."
