Giving in to Her Rebellious Streak

Chapter 72

After finishing her sentence, Yasmin lifted the suitcase and walked past him, leaving a faint fragrance in the air.

Blake’s gaze

gaze darkened. As he turned around, she had already left the room. She had indeed. changed. In the past, she would always fix her gaze on him. But now, she did not even look at him.

Blake narrowed his eyes.

Yasmin took a taxi to the ski resort. As she got out of the car, she saw Ivan standing at the entrance, waiting for her. He was dressed in a white sportswear. As the breeze brushed by, he looked refreshing and charming.

“Mr. Burke!” Yasmin smiled as she walked over.

Ivan looked at her quietly. When she walked up to him, he presented a large bunch of pink daisies. “I bought it on the way, thinking it would suit you.”

Yasmin paused for a moment, not expecting she would receive flowers someday. She took them and sniffed. “Why do people always choose pink color for me?” People liked to buy her pink stuff.

Ivan pondered for a moment. “Subconsciously, I think pink suits you.” And that was the

reason.

They walked in together. Ivan asked, “Have you eaten?”

“Didn’t we agree that I would treat you to a meal today?” Yasmin glanced sideways at him

with a faint smile.

Ivan was mesmerized by her smile. He smiled, “That’s right, but it might not happen today. I ran into some friends just now, and I guess we’ll have to join them for the meal.”

Yasmin agreed,

Sure.”

Ivan led her into the restaurant, and she saw Erik sitting at a table. He was Blake’s childhood friend. She was a bit surprised as she never expected him to be friends with Ivan.

Erik looked at the daisies in her hand. He frowned deeply as if he was looking at a skank

“Have a seat.” Ivan pulled out a chair for Yasmin. She sat down with the flowers in her hands. Instantly, chaos circulated the table.

Someone asked, “Did Mr. Burke give you the flowers?”

Yasmin replied meekly, “Mm–hmm.”

So, you’re his girlfriend?”

“Even if it’s not official, she’s special. He’s never brought a date before. You’re the first one. You must be his true love.”

A bunch of people chattered away, making Yasmin feel a bit uncomfortable. She looked. somewhat constrained. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ivan said, “You guys are overwhelming her.”

The group apologized to her, “Oh, sorry about that.”

After introducing everyone, Ivan poured her a cup of warm water. “Have some water.”

“Okay, thank you.” Yasmin sipped the water.

Ivan proceeded to help her with the dishes, bustling around the table. His friends looked at bit surprised as they saw it.

A girl whispered to Yasmin, “Mr. Burke isn’t usually this attentive. You’re the special one.”

“How so?” Yasmin looked at her.

The girl explained, “Despite his refined appearance, he’s actually quite aloof. Usually, he would sit quietly and not talk much. But today, you seem to bring out his thoughtful side.”

Yasmin stole a glance at Ivan. He was engrossed in conversation with someone else, wearing gold– rimmed glasses that accentuated his prominent nose. Indeed, he was a reserved man. However, for some reason, he was exceptionally considerate toward her.

As Yasmin was about to avert her gaze, she locked eyes with Erik. His gaze was gloomy as he slightly lifted his chin, asking her to talk outside.

Understanding his gesture, Yasmin made an excuse about going to the restroom and went

out.

Erik was waiting for her in the corridor outside. As she appeared, he immediately gave her a cold look. “How dare you betray Blake?”
