Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 136

Upon hearing this, Arthur finally stopped asking questions.

Then, he stroked his beard and instructed the butler, "Thomas, stay here tonight and check whether or not they sleep in the same room."

Yasmin was speechless.

Arthur was really pushing it!

She felt a bit helpless, but Blake took her hand and promised Arthur, "Don't worry, Grandpa. We'll definitely sleep in the same room."

However, Arthur still didn't believe them and insisted for Thomas to keep an eye on them.

Then, he calmly smoothed his beard and went back to his room to sleep.

Yasmin then pretended to go back to her room to grab something while Blake followed her in.

Once they were in the room, Yasmin turned around and asked, "What do we do now?"

"Let's just go to the master bedroom to sleep." Blake stood there with one hand in his pocket, looking totally calm.

Yasmin was shocked. "Sleep in the same room with you? But we're divorced," she exclaimed.

"100 thousand."

"What?"

"To sleep for one night, I'll deduct 100 thousand, okay?" Blake looked at her.

When he saw her hesitate, he added, "My mom isn't well. I don't want Grandpa to worry too."

Yasmin felt a knot in her heart. She felt that Blake was actually quite a good son.

Yasmin didn't want Arthur to get upset either, so she agreed. "Okay then. Let me grab my phone."

Then, they came out of the room together.

As they did so, Blake suddenly took her hand in his, causing Yasmin to raise an eyebrow.

"Thomas is watching. Just act natural," Blake said calmly.

Yasmin then lowered her eyes with a flushed face as Blake led her into the master bedroom.

However, as soon as they got inside, they quickly let go of each other.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere took an awkward turn.

Yasmin uneasily took a seat on the sofa as Blake grabbed the pajamas.

Noticing her red ears, he couldn't help but tease, "Why is your face so red? Are you shy?"

"No." Yasmin denied it. "It's just too hot in here."

"Should I turn down the heating?"

Blake then moved to get the remote, but Yasmin stopped him.

"No need. Just leave me be and do your thing."

Once Blake entered the bathroom, Yasmin quickly kicked off her shoes and jumped into bed, cozying up in her favorite spot.

She prayed to fall asleep before Blake finished showering.

At least then, everything would be fine. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

But contrary to her wishes, the more she tried to sleep, the more elusive her sleep became.

When the sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, Yasmin was still awake.

Blake then came out of the bathroom in his black pajamas.

When he saw Yasmin wrapped in the blanket, he turned off the overhead light, leaving only a dim wall lamp on.

Meanwhile, Yasmin's heartbeat thundered loud and clear in the silence.

"Are you asleep?" Blake sat on the bed and asked softly.

But Yasmin simply kept her eyes closed and didn't respond, pretending to be asleep.

Seeing this, Blake sighed.

He then poured himself a glass of wine and quietly downed it.

After finishing his wine, he lay down, and the faint scent of cedar filled the air.

Yasmin's back stiffened, and at the next second, Blake pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly against his chest.

Yasmins's eyelashes fluttered.

But luckily, the light was dim, so Blake couldn't see her expression. Otherwise, he'd realize she wasn't asleep at all.

Blake held her so tightly that Yasmin could even hear his heartbeat.

But Yasmin was puzzled.

Why was Blake hugging her?

Yasmin usually fell asleep exhausted and rarely knew what Blake would do after she fell asleep.

Then, Blake pressed his lips to her ear and gently kissed it.

Yasmin froze.

What was Blake doing?

As Blake moved to lift the blanket, Yasmin decided she couldn't pretend any longer.

So, she acted as if she had just woken up and mumbled, "What are you doing?"

Only then did she realize Blake was shirtless.

His physique was incredibly sleek and sexy, and his face was handsome and refined.
