Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 910

Quiet moments were when he felt the most at ease.

So, he just sat on the bedroom couch and watched Blake get ready for the day.

First, she washed her face and did her makeup. Most of her clothes were matching sets, so she didn't have to waste time picking out outfits. She mostly wore solid-color suits. She had them in black, white, gray, blue, and purple.

She usually added a bright silk scarf to her suits for a pop of color.

On colder days, she would throw on a designer trench coat.

Blake loved collecting jewelry. She had all kinds of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and watches.

Today, she went with a two-tone Rolex, a gray suit, and a blue scarf.

She tucked the scarf into her collar to make it look like a blue undershirt. It looked clean and stylish.

Next, she put on her Chanel earrings and a matching necklace.

She had dyed her hair coffee-brown and usually wore it loose in soft waves or tied back.

Since it was a little chilly today, she grabbed a black trench coat to go with the gray suit and left her hair down.

Finally, she sprayed on some perfume.

And just like that, Herman saw a glowing Blake Pope.

He was amazed by the transformation.

Some people looked drained and exhausted when they were weak, but Blake was different. She had been pushing herself a little too hard lately, but even if her body was worn out, her energy remained sharp.

After a good night's sleep, her makeup and outfit easily made her look like she was at her peak.

When she finished and turned around, Herman was still in his pajamas.

Blake asked him a question. "Aren't you in a rush?"

Herman explained his plan. "I'll go home and get ready later. Then I'll move my stuff over here."

She frowned automatically, but then she remembered the one-month trial. His request actually made sense.

She warned him. "You're taking it all back when this is over, so don't bring too much."

Herman listened to her harsh words and thought, It is only day one and she is already acting like this will fail. Brutal.

But out loud, he could only agreed. "Okay."

Blake didn't care much about breakfast, either.

She grabbed a pre-made sandwich from the fridge and tossed it into the microwave.

Then, she made herself a cup of coffee.

Herman watched her grab ice cubes from the freezer.

She drank iced coffee at home, and she usually had two more cups once she got to the office. Drinking that much cold coffee every day definitely explained her constant stomach problems.

He didn't let her change the subject. "Drink it first."

Blake complained, "I think you've got this backward. I gave you a chance to take care of me, not boss me around. You dumped the coffee I actually like and made me drink milk I can't stand.

"I gave you this chance, but why does it feel like I'm only making myself suffer?"

Just then, Herman's shameless side began to show. "Blake, maybe you should take a second to reflect. Your habits are unhealthy as hell. I'm fixing them. That's why it feels like I'm controlling you."

Blake felt totally stunned.

Has he lost his mind? She couldn't believe he actually dared to talk back to her.

Herman kept talking. "If your lifestyle were healthier, you wouldn't be feeling weak every now and then. And you definitely wouldn't be too tired to have sex with me."

She laughed out of pure annoyance. "So what, I can't satisfy you, and that's why you suddenly want to help me fix my health?"

Herman defended himself. "Is my reputation really that bad? I do think about things other than sex."

She stared him down for a long time.

She knew that bringing him into her life would cause a massive clash with her daily routines.

Blowing up at him right now would just turn this whole one-month trial into a complete joke.

Blake never quit things halfway. She didn't want to stop once she started something, because giving up just felt like losing.

She had already let him sleep in her bed last night. Backing out now would make her sacrifice from last night feel completely pointless.
