Blake smiled happily before grabbing the jewelry box and walking to the guest room.
However, just as he was about to enter, he heard Yasmin talking on the phone inside.
So, he stopped and stood at the door to listen.
"Were you okay after the birthday banquet that night?" Ivan asked after a pause from Yasmin.
"I'm fine."
"I heard you moved back to Oak Garden. Are you two... getting back together?"
There was a moment of silence from Yasmin before she answered, "No, I owe Blake some money. He's having me work here to pay off my debt."
"That's good to hear." Ivan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Once you're divorced, your dad should be released by then too, so you should..."
When Ivan mentioned Stuart, Yasmin's eyes flickered.
Then, she said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't look back on this marriage."
Stuart would be out in half a month—Yasmin couldn't look back.
If Blake still wanted to seek her out after Stuart's release, she might still fight for their relationship one last time.
But that was only if Blake didn't hold a grudge against Stuart.
After all, Blake really hated the Starr family, and she could sense that it wasn't just about Victor.
There might be a deeper grievance between Blake and Stuart.
Two years ago, Stuart had finally arranged for her to sleep with Blake.
But after he talked with Blake, Stuart had looked pale and distressed and not at all relieved by the deal he'd just made.
He'd looked at Yasmin sadly and said, "I hope you don't fall too deeply in love with him."
Yasmin was sure there was something more between her dad and Blake…
When Blake heard what Yasmin said, his eyes turned cold.
He'd thought she might not want to divorce him anymore. But it seemed like he was mistaken.
