Chapter 2361

The man didn’t do as Yasmin said and turned to place the tray on the nearby coffee table. His gentle voice seemed out of place with his sturdy frame, “Your Majesty, if you don’t eat, your body won’t be able to cope.”

Yasmin frowned and continued to stare out the window, saying, “I said I don’t want to. Are you defying my orders, too?” The man turned and walked up to her, his large body blocking the moonlight from outside. Upset, the queen looked up at him. “What are you doing?”

“Your Majesty, you know I’ll never defy your orders. However, I’ll stay here to keep you company until you eat something,” he spoke stubbornly, remaining where he was.

Yasmin glared up at him, but he didn’t even look away and stood placidly with his arms crossed. After a while, her eyes grew sore, and she looked down, rubbing them. “Just go. I’ll have the dinner later.”

The man didn’t budge. “I’ll take the tray away when you finish the food.”

In other words, he wouldn’t leave until she ate.

Yasmin grew upset. “I don’t need your supervision, okay?”

“Your health is my top priority, Your Majesty,” he said impassively.

“Rick, do you think you’re special? Or do you think you’ve done a great service by helping me spy on Fred?” Yasmin said, narrowing her eyes.

The man standing before her was none other than Rick. As he was backlit, one couldn’t see his expression. However, his standing there gave off a sense of loneliness.

“I don’t, Your Majesty.”

“You don’t? Then why aren’t you following my orders!” She suddenly grabbed the glass beside her and smashed it onto the floor.

Still, Rick remained where he was as if nothing had happened. He said blandly, “You shouldn’t get so worked up, Your Majesty.” “All thanks to you!” she retorted. Although she sounded upset, she appeared more like she was sulking rather than rageful.

Rick bent over, took a glass of milk from the tray, and handed it to her. “If you don’t have an appetite, at least have some milk. It’ll help you sleep.”

Yasmin accepted the milk and was about to take a sip when she realized what he said. She then sighed and put the glass down. “Sleep? It’s not so easy to fall asleep, okay?”

Besides thinking about Dominic said, she had sat there because she couldn’t sleep.
