Chapter 139


    ke felt a headacheing on. So, he gently touched Yasmin''s head and tried to exin, saying,


    "Men are like this. Sometimes we can''t help it."


    Yasmin stopped crying and looked at him with teary eyes.


    ke then lowered his head and tried to soothe her. "Besides, we aren''t divorced yet."


    Yasmin''s face puffed up with anger again. "We''re already registered as divorced. You need to


    respect me instead of force me."


    "I understand." ke held Yasmin and kissed her hair.


    Meanwhile, Yasmin was full of questions.


    What did ke mean? He said he disliked her, but his actions showed that he wanted to possess


    her...

    Yasmin was baffled and couldn''t understand what was going with ke.


    …


    When Yasmin got to the studio, she asked Eunice, "Eunice, what does it mean if a man is divorced


    but still wants to hook up with his ex-wife?"


    Eunice thought for a moment and answered, "Maybe he''s just trying to satisfy his desires?"


    Yasmin was speechless. "But he has a girlfriend. Why doesn''t he go to her if he needs to satisfy his


    desires?"


    Eunice gave her a knowing look. "You''re talking about ke, right?"


    Yasmin''s cheeks flushed.


    Eunice continued, "Has he been trying to hook up with you recently?"


    "No!" Yasmin denied it, but her breathing quickened as she tried to exin things. "Just... kisses,


    hugs..."


    Eunice said seriously, "Yaz, don''t be naive. A man can separate his feelings from his physical


    needs. If he really likes you, he should break up with that bitch. If he doesn''t, don''t let him take


    advantage of you.


    "Don''t end up making it easy for him to have his cake and eat it too without consequences after the


    divorce."


    Eunice really hit the nail on the head.


    Yasmin''s eyes dimmed a bit.


    It was true.


    If ke really cared about her, he would have ended things with Giselle. And if not, it meant Yasmin


    wasn''t simply important enough to him.


    She couldn''t let herself get fooled just because of a few tender moments with ke.


    Yasmin then patted her face and reminded herself to guard her heart. She couldn''t let ke take it


    away again.


    …


    That afternoon, Victor called to check if Yasmin had sorted out the money.


    Yasmin yed it safe and told him, "Victor, I might not be able to handle this."


    "What''s the problem?" Victor sounded less than pleased. "300 thousand shouldn''t be a big deal for


    Mr. Ford, right?"


    "It''s not a big deal for him, but, you see, we''re divorced now."


    "Why''s that?"


    "Haven''t you seen the scandals? His first love is back in the country, and they''ve gotten back


    together. That''s why ke divorced me."


    When she mentioned this, Yasmin suddenly thought of something odd.


    When Caleb''spany went bankrupt, Victor had immediately shared the news with her.


    But he had been silent about ke and Giselle''s widely discussed scandal and had never once


    reached out tofort her.


    Victor paused for a moment before continuing, "But aren''t those scandals just rumors? They''re


    unfounded. How could you believe them?"


    "It''s not about what I believe. ke told me himself and even had me sign the divorce papers."


    Victor sounded impatient as he said, "So, Yasmin, did Mr. Ford give you anything in the divorce


    settlement?"


    "Nothing. He said the marriage was orchestrated by my dad, and he wouldn''t give me anything. He


    told me not to get my hopes up."


    Victor sighed, sounding a little angry. It was as if he thought Yasmin was naive.


    "How could you be so naive? How could you agree to the divorce after he said he wouldn''t give you


    anything?


    "You shoulde to me In situations like this. After all, I''m your family, and I''d definitely help you


    get awyer to fight for your rights!"
