Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 52

The Oak Garden was located in the mountains. Without a car, it was very inconvenient to go

anywhere.

Blake gazed at Yasmin. She looked kind, cute, and fresh–faced as she stood before him, just like during those days they had spent together. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

He contemplated it. Deciding that she was most likely tired of asking him for a divorce and was being sincere, he said, “That car was always yours.”

Yasmin nodded with a smile. “Then I’ll be leaving now. Oh, right. When you see Giselle, remember to get her some flowers. Girls love flowers. It would make her happy.”

With that, she left the dining hall.

Blake’s spoon froze in mid–air. He looked up at her, but she was already gone. She seemed genuinely happy, and it didn’t seem like she was being cynical at all.

Yet, it made him feel uncomfortable. He felt something niggling at his heart, and it wasn’t a pleasant feeling.

Yasmin went to her studio and spent the entire day drawing.

Eunice came upstairs with her phone in her hand. Frowning, she said, “Yaz, look! Those lowlife lovebirds are in the news again!”

Yasmin glanced at it. It was a photo of Blake taking Giselle to the hospital.

She chuckled. “Who cares?”

Right now, she badly wished that they were together. Then, she would be free.

“You don’t care about them at all now?” Eunice looked at her.

Yasmin continued drawing. “No. I’ll just quietly wait for the divorce,” she said indifferently.

“He agreed?”

“Not yet, but I’m sure he’ll agree after some time.” Yasmin thought of something and continued, “Eunice, I may have to stay at the Oak Garden for some time. Could you have the luggage I kept at your place delivered back to me tonight?”

If she didn’t go home, Blake would keep causing issues. She might as well continue living there and treat it as a free place to stay. She’d save money on rent!

“You still want to live with him? Yaz, are you alright?”

“Don’t worry. I’m not treating him as my husband right now. Just as my father suggested, I’ll treat him like a stranger. Once I settle things, I should be able to get a divorce.”

“Are you planning something major?”

“Something like that.” Yasmin quirked her lip. “Don’t worry about me. I’ve gotten over this marriage. I’m not going to be blinded by love anymore.”

Eunice felt more at ease seeing Yasmin like this. “Once you get your freedom back, I’ll take you out to celebrate. However, you’re going to get divorced while I’m stepping into the grave called marriage. I don’t even know if marriage is a good thing or not.”

“Do you love Colin?” Yasmin asked her.

“Yeah!” Eunice’s eyes lit up. “He treats me really well.

“That’s good. Some people do have blissful marriages, although they are in the minority. You have to rely on yourself to keep it going.” Yasmin was married for two years. She knew a little bit about being married.

Eunice nodded. “Yes.”

“Ms. Salle, Mr. Gray sent you these flowers.” Her assistant handed a huge bouquet of roses

to her.

She peeked at the card below and broke into a smile. She told Yasmin, “Colin is asking me out to dinner at a fine dining restaurant, followed by a movie. I’ll get going now.”

“Have fun.” Yasmin gripped her pencil and watched Eunice go

downstairs.

This was how a real date should progress–it should start with flowers, then a dinner date, and finally a movie. It was completely opposite from hers. She never enjoyed these moments with Blake and got married too quickly. In the end, they couldn’t stand looking at each other.

Her phone buzzed on the table.

She picked it up and saw that it was a text from Annalise. “Yasmin, 7:00 pm tonight, Room 206 at the Maple Tower, with Mr. Burke.”
