Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak (Yasmin and Blake) novel Chapter 126

Yasmin was terrified as tears welled up in her eyes.

She retreated in faint footsteps as Blake approached her, her racing heartbeat pounding in the silent midnight.

She was too scared to meet Blake's eyes, so she quickly retreated to the dressing room.

However, Blake yanked her over to the sofa beside him instead.

Fortunately, the sofa was soft, and Yasmin wasn't hurt from the fall. But she was still a tad bit annoyed.

She sat up and scolded, "Blake, what are you doing?"

However, she was met with Blake's darkened expression.

"I stood up for you, yet you sided with him," Blake said.

Yasmin was afraid of Blake's gaze and had a hunch that he would get violent. So, she scrambled over the sofa to run away.

But in the end, Blake caught her and pulled her back to his side, directing a dangerous stare at Yasmin.

Tears filled Yasmin's eyes as she shouted, "You're a madman!"

"Madman?" Blake grabbed her chin. Then, he fixed his gloomy eyes on Yasmin and said, "I stepped in to deal with Roxy when she attempted to frame you tonight. I even brought you back to tend to your wounds.

"Yet, I don't get to hear any words of gratitude from you. And instead, you're on Erik's side.

"Are you even aware of what he said to me? Why do you defend him so much?"

Blake's tight grip on Yasmin's chin made her cry even harder.

"I didn't side with Erik. I was worried that your anger would get the better of you, and you'd beat him to death."

Blake was surprised to hear this, and the anger fuming in his eyes dissipated a little. "Why did you close the door then?"

"If only you could see your own expression when you came up the stairs. Who wouldn't be terrified?" Yasmin retorted with an aggrieved expression.

She had no intention to protect Erik at all. Rather, Blake's kindness had reached her that night, so she was worried that he would beat someone to death.

Blake shot Yasmin a belligerent look. "Why didn't you explain yourself?"

"Would you have listened to my explanation?" Tears overflowed from Yasmin's eyes, and her nose had turned red, making her appear as if she had been terribly wronged.

Blake frowned upon seeing Yasmin's tears, and his anger faded.

He had lost control of his emotions just now, and the self-control he took pride in had snapped when he thought Yasmin sided with Erik.
