Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 65

“Mr. Burke, why are you here?” Yasmin asked, surprise evident on her face.

“I just wanted to take a look at your studio and also check on your hand.”

As Ivan spoke, his gaze fell on Yasmin’s left hand. “Does it still hurt today?”

“Not anymore,” replied Yasmin. Even though she knocked her hand earlier, the pain had

subsided.

Ivan took out an ointment and continued, “I brought an imported cream for you. It’s effective for reducing swelling and bruises. Try it.”

“Thank you.” Yasmin accepted the ointment.

Roxy was baffled as she watched their interaction. She liked Ivan, but he had always been

indifferent to her.

Why was he so gentle to Yasmin? Moreover, Ivan was doing it in front of Blake. Wasn’t he

afraid that Blake would tell him off?

“Giselle, what’s going on?” Roxy asked with confusion.

Not only did Yasmin appear composed, but Blake and Giselle seemed unfazed, too. The

situation seemed unreal to Roxy.

Giselle responded gently, “Don’t you know about this? Ivan and Yasmin went on a blind date yesterday. They’re happy with each other.”

Blake looked at her upon hearing that.

Giselle explained, “Mrs. Ford Senior told me about it. She said Ivan is happy with Yasmin.”

“What’s going on?” Roxy was perplexed. “Why did they go on a blind date? Isn’t Yasmin

married?”

Giselle replied softly, “Blake and Yasmin are in a marriage of convenience. They have no feelings for each other and have long agreed they’d pursue their own happiness. Haven’t you.

heard about it?”

Roxy was stunned after learning about that. She could not believe it. How did things turn out in such a way?

She looked at Blake, but he remained silent with a sullen expression.

Left with no choice, Roxy could only ask Yasmin.

“Yasmin, is it true that you and Blake are in a marriage of convenience? You don’t have feelings for each other as well?”

Giselle answered on behalf of Yasmin, “It’s true. Yasmin told me herself a few days ago.”

On the other hand, Blake narrowed his eyes, staring at Yasmin. His expression was shrouded

in mystery.

His intent gaze weighed heavily on Yasmin. Nevertheless, she still nodded. “Yes, it’s true.”

In an instant, Blake’s expression grew colder.

Giselle chimed in, “You heard that, didn’t you? There are no romantic feelings between Blake and Yasmin. They have always been living separate lives.”

Roxy seemed affected by the news. She shook her head, ran over to Ivan, and inquired, Ivan, did you really go on a blind date with Yasmin yesterday?”

“Yes.”

Roxy asked again, “Was it voluntary?”

“Of course it is,” said Ivan.

He glanced at Yasmin before answering seriously, “Yasmin is great, and I admire her.

A wave of jealousy surged within Roxy, compelling her to attack Yasmin.

However, Ivan was quick to react. He immediately shielded Yasmin in his arms and pushed

Roxy away.

His stern gaze bore into Roxy as he questioned, “Roxy Ford, what are you trying to do?”

Following that, Roxy fell to the ground.

“Roxy, are you okay?” Giselle exclaimed.

Roxy shouted, “I don’t believe it!”

She could not accept the truth. Tears immediately streamed down her face. So, she covered her face and rushed out.

“Roxy!” Giselle called out. She then asked the assistant to follow Roxy.

With that, the drama came to an end.

Ivan gazed at Yasmin in his arms. With a soft voice, he asked, “You’re fine, right?”

“Yes, I am,” Yasmin replied as she stepped out of his embrace.

Then, she instinctively glanced at Blake. He stood rooted to his spot, exuding an imposing air while looking at them.

Yasmin ignored him. She turned to ask Ivan, “Did you come just to give me the ointment?”

“Not only that, I also want you to make a customized suit,” Ivan responded with a smile.

Erinnyes offered customization services for both women’s and men’s attire.

Yasmin didn’t expect to have two business deals in a day.

“Please wait awhile on the couch outside. Let me finish taking Ms. Giselle’s measurements, and I’ll come find you,” she told Ivan.

“Sure.”

After saying that, Ivan and his secretary walked out.

So, only Yasmin, Blake, and Giselle were left in the display area.
