Yasmin removed the cap from the ointment and inspected his wound. She hesitated once more. The injury was situated at the bottom, requiring her to adjust things to properly apply
the ointment.
Frowning, she contemplated whether to go ahead with it or not. Despite having seen Blake’s manhood several times, their relationship was not at its best.
They hadn’t shared a bed for quite some time, making the situation a bit awkward for her.
“Not done yet?” asked Blake as he opened his eyes.
Yasmin remained silent, her expression revealing a sense of unease. Observing her discomfort, he glanced down at himself, seemingly comprehending her thoughts, and
smirked.
Seeing his smirk, she gathered her courage, dabbed some ointment on her index finger, and
reached dowTL
As the ointment made contact with the wound, Blake’s breath caught. He then spoke in a husky voice, “Be careful.”
“Be careful with what?” She raised her head to look at him.
His gaze deepened as he said, “Be careful not to touch where you shouldn’t.”
Yasmin was at a loss for words. What was that supposed to mean? How could he think she would want to touch anything when she had zero intention of doing that?
Feeling a bit discontent, she intentionally applied a bit more pressure on the wound.
Blake inhaled sharply and said through gritted teeth, “Yasmin Starr!”
“What’s wrong?” She looked at him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
Blake gave her a stern look and said, “Even now, you’re trying to seduce me. Are you looking for trouble?”
Yasmin was speechless yet again. She was trying to hurt him, not seduce him!
He squinted and added, “You’ll see what I’ll do to you when I recover.”
She sighed helplessly and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Sure.” He did not believe her. With a hoarse voice, he said, “Didn’t you used to enjoy

seducing me every time I was home from work? Did
you really think I didn’t see through
your little schemes, with you wearing those revealing nightdresses every day?”
Tongue–tied, she blushed deeply. She indeed did such things in the past. She liked Blake, and on top of her mother–in–law’s instructions, she wanted to have a baby to stabilize the
marriage.
Despite her efforts, she failed to secure his affection and consequently evolved into a manipulative woman in his view. It seemed her every calculated seduction from the past had only been met with his silent scorn.
“I was foolish then,” she blurted out.
Believing she could win his love, she had committed several foolish acts. However, she vowed not to repeat those mistakes. Yasmin let out a sigh, packed her things, and got ready
to leave.
Seeing her leaving, Blake asked, “Are you leaving already?”
“I’m going downstairs to eat,” she replied and made her way downstairs.
Mary brought her some dishes and asked, “Mrs. Ford, how is Mr. Ford?”
“Nothing serious. Dr. Sawyer said he just needs to rest for half a month,” Yasmin answered.
Mary was relieved to hear that.
After finishing her meal, Yasmin went upstairs to take a shower. While drying her hair, she noticed a call from Eunice. Yasmin then settled by the window and answered the phone.
“Hello, Eunice. I want to take a few days off.”
“What happened?”
