Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 405: Go Outside Less When There’s Nothing Important

"Oh." Matthew Saxon was clearly immune to such insults, remaining unfazed as he said, "A lot of people say that."

"You’re terrible!"

"Oh."

The more indifferent he appeared, the more it irked Scarlett Yates. She had a thousand things to curse him with in her mind, yet what came out were the most useless ones, "Is it really that fun to mess with people?"

Matthew seriously thought about it, replying sincerely, "It is indeed quite amusing."

"You..." She was so angry she wanted to bite him a few more times.

Just as she opened her mouth, pretending to bite his arm, a voice she didn’t care for echoed, "Matthew, are you going out?"

Scarlett froze as if someone had stopped her, holding the same position for a few seconds before slowly turning her head.

"Yes, Grandpa." Matthew looked at Ian Douglas standing at the staircase and walked over with Scarlett in his arms.

"Where to?" Ian Douglas’s cool gaze slowly fell on Scarlett, his brow furrowing in apparent displeasure.

"Just out for a walk."

"A walk? The doctor said this girl needs to stay in bed these days; she doesn’t even have the strength to walk. Why are you taking her out for a stroll?" Ian Douglas didn’t hide his discontent, his brow tightening further.

Matthew curled his lips, chuckling lightly, "It’s because Scarlett can’t walk that I’m carrying her out. Staying in the room all day is suffocating for her, so I’m taking her out for some fresh air."

Ian Douglas snorted coldly, his cold gaze once again landing on Scarlett as he squinted, his tone unfriendly, "Girl Yates, try not to go out unnecessarily. Getting your health back should be the priority. Matthew has always been one to do as he pleases. Since you’re someone he values, you should try to persuade him not to indulge him in everything."

Scarlett slowly lifted her head, meeting Ian Douglas’s slightly annoyed gaze. The little demon inside her started stirring again.

She flashed a sweet smile, pretending to be bashful as she nuzzled her head into Matthew’s embrace. "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa, but Matthew is only worried about me being too cooped up. How could I refuse his kindness?"

"Besides, the doctor already checked me, and my health isn’t much of an issue. Going for a walk is fine. Moreover, you’re such an influential figure, Grandpa, and even you can’t make him listen; how could I possibly sway him?"

"Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take Scarlett now." Noticing Ian Douglas’s hostility towards Scarlett, Matthew furrowed his brow slightly.

Ian Douglas snorted, turning his head aside, "Go ahead, but remember to come to my study when you return."

This crafty girl has his precious grandson completely entranced. No matter what he says or does now, this brat is likely to protect her.

After all, there’s still time.

He refuses to believe that he, Ian Douglas, can’t handle a little girl wet behind the ears.

"Young Master Matthew."

As Matthew Saxon carried Scarlett Yates into a classical theater-style restaurant, someone immediately came out to greet them.

The person was very respectful, leading them inside while smiling, "Young Master Matthew hasn’t been to the place for a long time. The room has always been kept empty just for you."

Scarlett originally thought the restaurant would be bustling with people, thinking how embarrassing it would be if Matthew carried her in front of a crowd. But upon exiting the car, she realized the restaurant was nothing like she imagined.
