Chapter 60
That night, Yasmin slept like a baby.
The next morning, after Yasmin got changed, her phone rang.
Walking over to the bedside table, she saw Annalise’s name flash on her phone screen.
The blind date was just yesterday, and Annalise was already calling today. It seemed like she was really eager.
“Hello, Annalise,” Yasmin answered.
“You met Ivan yesterday, right? How do you feel about him?” Annalise pressed.
“Mr. Burke is great.”
“Do you plan to continue getting to know him?” Annalise asked again.
Yasmin was silent for a moment. “I can give it a try.”
She thought Ivan was a great person, but he most likely didn’t know her real circumstances. Yasmin planned to tell him the next time she saw him and tell him that Blake was her
husband.
She didn’t like lying.
“He’s really an outstanding person you can’t find anywhere. If he likes you, you have to seize the opportunity.”
In truth, Yasmin had gotten lucky.
Initially, Annalise wanted to introduce her to an executive, but the executive didn’t like
Yasmin. On the contrary, Ivan did, and he had told Annalise himself that he wanted to get to
know Yasmin.
Annalise thought that Yasmin was a pretty lucky girl.
However, it would be better to have such an exceptional man. It was just a matter of time before Yasmin left her son.
Hearing Annalise’s words, Yasmin replied, “Yes, I will grab the chance.”
To save her father, she could accept anything.
After hanging up, Yasmin packed her things and got ready for work.

Mary suddenly ran over and said, “Mrs. Ford, Mr. Ford said he can’t find one of his shirts. He asked you to help him.”
“Which shirt?”
“Mr. Ford said it’s the one with two stripes on the sleeves.”
Yasmin remembered it. That shirt was the one she had given to Blake as an anniversary gift.
“I think it’s hanging in the first closet,” Yasmin informed Mary after a moment’s thought.
“I can’t find it!” Mary said with a frown. “Mrs. Ford, can you go over and help find it? If Mr. Ford gets mad, the entire Oak Garden would suffer!”
Since Mary had always been really nice to her, Yasmin couldn’t bear to see Mary suffer. Thus, she went to help.
When she walked into the bedroom, she found Blake sitting on the bed gloomily. There were prominent dark circles beneath his eyes. He looked like he hadn’t slept well the night before.
Yasmin didn’t say a word to him and went straight to the closet.
When the lights flickered on, she saw an endless sea of clothing. Those on the left were Blake’s, while those on the right were hers.
Back then, Yasmin loved helping Blake find his clothes in the morning.
She used to think of it as a blessing.
Now, seeing the mountains of clothing irritated her instead. Finding one shirt amongst the thousands of clothes here was like finding a needle in a haystack. How annoying!
She walked over. She spotted a purse on the glass table from the corner of her eye.
