Chapter 136
Upon hearing this, Arthur finally stopped asking questions.
Then, he stroked his beard and instructed the butler, "Thomas, stay here tonight and check whether
or not they sleep in the same room."
Yasmin was speechless.
Arthur was really pushing it!
She felt a bit helpless, but ke took her hand and promised Arthur, "Don''t worry, Grandpa. We''ll
definitely sleep in the same room."
However, Arthur still didn''t believe them and insisted for Thomas to keep an eye on them.
Then, he calmly smoothed his beard and went back to his room to sleep.
Yasmin then pretended to go back to her room to grab something while ke followed her in.
Once they were in the room, Yasmin turned around and asked, "What do we do now?"
"Let''s just go to the master bedroom to sleep." ke stood there with one hand in his pocket,
looking totally calm.
Yasmin was shocked. "Sleep in the same room with you? But we''re divorced," she eximed.
"100 thousand."
"What?"
"To sleep for one night, I''ll deduct 100 thousand, okay?" ke looked at her.
When he saw her hesitate, he added, "My mom isn''t well. I don''t want Grandpa to worry too."
Yasmin felt a knot in her heart. She felt that ke was actually quite a good son.
Yasmin didn''t want Arthur to get upset either, so she agreed. "Okay then. Let me grab my phone."
Then, they came out of the room together.
As they did so, ke suddenly took her hand in his, causing Yasmin to raise an eyebrow.
"Thomas is watching. Just act natural," ke said calmly.
Yasmin then lowered her eyes with a flushed face as ke led her into the master bedroom.
However, as soon as they got inside, they quickly let go of each other.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere took an awkward turn.
Yasmin uneasily took a seat on the sofa as ke grabbed the pajamas.
Noticing her red ears, he couldn''t help but tease, "Why is your face so red? Are you shy?"
"No." Yasmin denied it. "It''s just too hot in here."
"Should I turn down the heating?"
ke then moved to get the remote, but Yasmin stopped him.
"No need. Just leave me be and do your thing."
Once ke entered the bathroom, Yasmin quickly kicked off her shoes and jumped into bed,
cozying up in her favorite spot.
She prayed to fall asleep before ke finished showering.
At least then, everything would be fine.
But contrary to her wishes, the more she tried to sleep, the more elusive her sleep became.
When the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, Yasmin was still awake.
ke then came out of the bathroom in his ck pajamas.
When he saw Yasmin wrapped in the nket, he turned off the overhead light, leaving only a dim
wallmp on.
Meanwhile, Yasmin''s heartbeat thundered loud and clear in the silence.
"Are you asleep?" ke sat on the bed and asked softly.
But Yasmin simply kept her eyes closed and didn''t respond, pretending to be asleep.
Seeing this, ke sighed.
He then poured himself a ss of wine and quietly downed it.
After finishing his wine, hey down, and the faint scent of cedar filled the air.
Yasmin''s back stiffened, and at the next second, ke pulled her into his arms and hugged her
tightly against his chest.
Yasmins''s eyshes fluttered.
But luckily, the light was dim, so ke couldn''t see her expression. Otherwise, he''d realize she
wasn''t asleep at all.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.
ke held her so tightly that Yasmin could even hear his heartbeat.
But Yasmin was puzzled.
Why was ke hugging her?
Yasmin usually fell asleep exhausted and rarely knew what ke would do after she fell asleep.
Then, ke pressed his lips to her ear and gently kissed it.
Yasmin froze.
What was ke doing?
As ke moved to lift the nket, Yasmin decided she couldn''t pretend any longer.
So, she acted as if she had just woken up and mumbled, "What are you doing?"
Only then did she realize ke was shirtless.
His physique was incredibly sleek and sexy, and his face was handsome and refined.
