Yolanda was taken aback but soon regained her composure and smiled. “Sure! I’d be delighted to have you rely on me.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“If that’s the case, could I trouble you to make us some tea and cut us some fruits after the meal?” Blake didn’t even look up as he went along with her.

Yolanda could feel her blood pressure rising. She wanted to force a smile, but it refused to come. She also wanted to fly into a rage, but that would be inappropriate. Ultimately, she sat there stiffly, looking awkward.

Yasmin listened to them quietly, secretly feeling vindicated. She wanted to laugh. Yolanda had been sarcastic to her for the longest time. It felt amazing to see her being targeted this time. It was too bad she couldn’t laugh. She could only lower her head and suppress her laughter.

“Is it that funny?” Blake put some vegetables on Yasmin’s plate.

“No.” Yasmin got a grip and looked up to see spinach on her plate. Spinach? She blanked out for a second before looking at Blake. The latter ate slowly without saying anything.

She figured it was just a coincidence and didn’t think much of it. She ate the spinach. When she was done, Blake scooped some cabbage onto her plate.

Now, Yasmin was sure that he’d taken Malcolm’s earlier words to heart. Throughout the meal, he kept piling her plate with spinach and cabbage. Toward the end, Yasmin was already frowning. “That’s enough. I’ve had plenty already.”

“I’ll have the cooks make you more spinach dishes tomorrow,” Blake said.

The mere mention of that almost made Yasmin retch. She pretended to look like she wanted to hurl as she said, “No, thanks.”

One meal was enough to make her stomach roil. Blake’s expression darkened when he saw the look on her face. He scoffed and said, “You’re just unworthy of enjoying someone else’s kindness.”

Yasmin looked nonplussed. When she turned to look at him, he’d already gotten up and left the dining table. The others had also left after finishing their meals.

She looked down at the spinach and cabbage on her plate, feeling a little dazed. So, had he really force–fed her these two vegetables because he was worried about her stomach?
