Blake felt a headache coming on. So, he gently touched Yasmin's head and tried to explain, saying, "Men are like this. Sometimes we can't help it."
Yasmin stopped crying and looked at him with teary eyes.
Blake 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." Blake held Yasmin and kissed her hair.
Meanwhile, Yasmin was full of questions.
What did Blake 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 Blake.
…
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 Blake, 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 explain 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.
