Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 305: What if I have to intervene?
Scarlett Yates struggled to tilt her head back.
Too close, his breath was all she could smell, this dangerously intimate distance carried a fatal allure, and being stared at so intently by him left her mind a blank.
She couldn’t even say a complete sentence.
She was angry at her own incompetence and hated his frivolity and carelessness.
"Harsh words, are you referring to the ones from last night?" Matthew Saxon slightly smiled, kindly saying aloud the words she wanted to express.
Seeing him smile and speak those words aloud, Scarlett Yates was taken aback, then snorted coldly, "Since you know, Second Young Master, then please let go of me and let me leave."
"Leave, where to?"
"That’s none of Second Young Master’s business."
"What if I insist on getting involved?"
"I fear Miss Green would be heartbroken if she found out."
"Oh, so what you’re saying is, you’re actually very concerned about Alice, and angry because of her?" Matthew Saxon smiled, releasing her a bit, yet still unwilling to let her go.
Scarlett Yates glared with wide eyes, immediately denying through gritted teeth, "I have no grudge against her, why would I be angry because of her?"
Matthew Saxon smiled again, repeating her words as if questioning her, "Hmm, no grudge, why be angry?"
But before she could answer, he answered his own question, "So, I thought about it, and there’s only one conclusion."
After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, his Peach Blossom Eyes revealing more amusement, looking at her teasingly, "Scarlett Yates, you’re jealous."
"I am not!" Scarlett Yates’ expression instantly changed, denying in shock.
"Being jealous isn’t shameful, why not admit it?"
"Matthew Saxon, don’t think you’re such a heartthrob that everyone has to like you."
"You’ve said this before, Scarlett, have you decided to use this phrase as your shield every time?"
Matthew Saxon looked deeply at her cheeks, seemingly about to burn, sighed lightly, and then laughed, "When you left this morning, I wanted to come find you."
He didn’t know why he suddenly brought up this matter.
Scarlett Yates hesitated, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she remained silent.
Matthew Saxon seemed not to need her response, speaking to himself again, "Alice suddenly felt unwell, so I stayed to look after her for a while."
"Miss Green’s body always has such timely appearances of various symptoms." Scarlett Yates had planned to be a silent listener but couldn’t resist the mockery.
On the night of the thunderstorm, she remembered Alice Green also fell timely into Matthew Saxon’s arms.
Even she could see through such a petty trick, she doubted Matthew Saxon couldn’t detect it.
Or perhaps, although he detected it, he indulged Alice Green in her little schemes in front of him, hence never confronting it?
Thinking it over, the latter seemed more likely.
That’s the woman he likes, playing little tricks in front of him, how could he expose her?
Maybe he even enjoyed it, enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by the woman he likes.
Hearing her sarcastically blurt out such a remark, Matthew Saxon’s smile grew even deeper.
"Are you saying Alice pretended to be like that on purpose?"
"I didn’t say that." Scarlett Yates’ face turned a bit red, but she would never admit that she truly thought that.
Matthew Saxon’s amused gaze lingered on her flushed cheeks for a few seconds, then he chuckled, "Regardless of whether you think that or not, Alice’s discomfort was indeed feigned."
