Blake countered, "You can still be my maid even though we're divorce though."
Yasmin was flabbergasted. "Blake, are you out of your mind? Why are you forcing your ex-wife to be your maid? What will your new wife think when she finds out?"
"What she thinks has nothing to do with you. Focus on your work and pay off your debt."
With that, Blake got up and left.
Yasmin felt an overwhelming urge to beat him up to death.
She couldn't help but slump on the sofa and sigh in frustration.
How did she meet such a trash man?
She didn't get any financial support from the divorce, and worse still, the jerk even demanded compensation for the bag.
…
In the middle of the night, Blake pushed open the door and entered the room to find Yasmin sleeping soundly on the bed.
Her leg was exposed outside the blanket, and she was even unaware that her skirt slid up to her waist.
"You still kick away your blanket." Blake shook his head and switched on the dim wall light. Then, he opened a tube of ointment and applied it to the blisters on Yasmin's feet.
After that, he quietly stared at her and caressed her delicate cheek.
Yasmin was still in a daze due to her sleep.
Then, when she opened her eyes, she saw someone applying something on her feet.
But unfortunately, she couldn't discern who the person was.
The next day, Mary knocked on the door from outside. "Mrs. Ford, are you awake?"
"What is it?" Yasmin opened her drowsy eyes and shouted hoarsely.
Soon after, Mary entered the room and said, "Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford has called for you."
"Why is he calling me over?" Yasmin rubbed her eyes.
Then, she realized that a piece of gauze was taped to her sole when she got out of the bed.
She was dumbfounded and couldn't recall when the gauze had been stuck on.
Immediately after, Yasmin had a suspicion that the man she'd seen when she was half-asleep the night before was, in fact, Blake.
It seemed like Blake had treated her injury and even taped the gauze on to function like a band-aid for her.
Yasmin suddenly felt a stir in her heart.
Then, she walked over to the master bedroom and pushed open the door.
