Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 303: How Can You Leave Before We Finish Talking
She suddenly laughed, but there wasn’t a trace of humor in her eyes, "Rest assured, I’ll take all the responsibility. The engagement is my insistence to break, it has nothing to do with you."
This time, even if she didn’t plan to end the contract, he would end it early anyway.
Rather than wait for him to speak first, it’s better for her to bring it up proactively.
This way, her departure won’t seem so pathetic.
If she ever gets another chance to talk about this matter, it can be said that she first decided to back out, saving face, right?
Matthew Saxon nodded, then frowned as if he were slightly troubled, "But you know Dad isn’t easy to fool. How do you plan to tell him so that he’ll believe you?"
A painful feeling faintly arose in her heart after hearing him say that.
Scarlett Yates tried her best to ignore it, enduring the discomfort, "I’ll tell him there’s someone I like."
Matthew laughed, "You’re not planning to say the person you like is Knox Simmons, are you?"
"This has nothing to do with Young Master Knox. Anyway, as long as I can make Uncle Saxon agree to annul the engagement, that’s enough. As for how it’s annulled, Young Master need not know,"
Her chest felt heavy, making Scarlett Yates a bit suffocated.
The surrounding air also became oppressive, though it was a sunny day, it felt as though dark clouds weighed heavily above, creating a stifling unease.
"Young Master, may I leave now?" They’ve talked about what’s necessary.
She has made her assurances, surely he can rest easy now.
Never before had she been so eager to leave a place.
"Leave? We haven’t finished talking, how can you leave?" Perhaps because she promised not to pester him, Matthew’s mood seemed quite good; with a light and pleasant smile in his raised tone.
"What else does Young Master wish to discuss?" Scarlett Yates turned her eyes away from his dazzling smile.
She gazed outside.
Outside, there was nothing but the vast blue sea.
The shimmering sea surface pricked her eyes, making them sting, forcing her to blink desperately to push back the wetness threatening to escape.
A hand gently lifted her head, Matthew’s demonically handsome face was right in front of her.
His fingertips were cool as water, his long and narrow eyes held a hint of surprise looking at her, ultimately, he locked eyes with her and said, "Let’s talk about the matter of you breaking the contract early."
"Scarlett Yates, have I ever told you that breaking a deal with Matthew Saxon isn’t allowed." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Planning to end the contract early and then leave me?"
He smiled, looking at her reddened eyes with a complex expression, suddenly lowering his head to kiss her.
The kiss came unexpectedly and ended quickly.
Scarlett Yates was still in shock and hadn’t recovered when he pulled away.
"This serves as a punishment for your intent to breach the contract on your own. Dare to think this way again, and my punishment will be more than just this, you can try and see."
"Shameless!" Without thinking, Scarlett Yates swung her hand at his face.
How could he do this!
After embracing Alice Green in the morning, and casually telling her that if she wanted to leave, no one would stop her, how could he still behave like this towards her?
In his eyes, what kind of person is Scarlett Yates?
Someone so casual that he could take advantage whenever he wanted?
