Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 424: Using Items as Collateral
It seems the icy coldness in his eyes is slowly melting away, making his gaze appear less frigid.
"Alright, since you said it, if you won’t return it, then exchange something for collateral."
"Collateral?"
In a flash, he took back the wooden box containing the wood carving and scroll.
He shook the box in his hand, squinting his narrow eyes slightly, and said, "Whenever you return my item, I’ll give you back this box."
"Matthew Saxon, that’s my birthday gift! How can you shamelessly take someone else’s birthday gift?" Scarlett Yates bit her lip, glaring at him angrily.
"A thing for a thing. If you want it back, then return what belongs to me," he said confidently.
"I won’t return it!" She wouldn’t give it back just because he used such a tactic to force her.
How can a man be so petty?
It’s just a wood carving, yet he actually wants it back?
The carved person is her; what does he need her statue for?
Matthew’s expression suddenly looked like it was thawing, and a slight smile floated on his handsome, intimidating face.
He slowly turned his head to the side, his thin lips curled slightly, carrying a barely there smile at the corner of his lips, "Then I won’t return this box either."
"The dignified second young master of the Saxon Family actually snatched someone else’s birthday gift. Aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?" Scarlett Yates barked furiously.
The wind blew in from the car window, carrying a chill that cooled the inexplicable anger within him.
Matthew’s mood suddenly became surprisingly good, just because Scarlett Yates was unwilling to exchange Henry Dales’ gift for the wood carving he gave her.
Does this mean that, in her heart, the wood carving he gave is more important?
No matter if this is the reason, his blazing anger was extinguished.
His thin lips lifted slightly with pleasure, "I told you, you can use the wood carving to exchange it back."
"They’re all my things, I don’t want to exchange, give them back!"
"That’s my item," he corrected.
She furrowed her brow, both anxious and angry, "Don’t forget, you already gave it to me."
Who said words once spoken can’t be taken back? Did he forget so quickly, was his memory eaten by a dog?
He slowly turned his head towards her.
The handsome face under the mesmerizing night, dreamily beautiful, looked at her with those deep and captivating Peach Blossom Eyes, his thin lips curled with an enchanting smile, "Scarlett, I regret it now."
Even though she had experienced such situations countless times before, Scarlett Yates’ heart was still captivated and fluttered wildly by his enchanting smile.
Was he really not a fox in his past life?
She stared at him longingly, foolishly pressing the wood carving against her chest, guarding it tightly with both hands, then said, "You regret... I still won’t give it back to you."
"Why? Scarlett, don’t you want the gift Henry Dales gave you?" Matthew Saxon dangled the box in front of her, deeply amused, "It’s your Senior Brother Dales’ heartfelt gift; are you willing to hand it to someone else?"
"You snatched it!" Scarlett Yates bit her lip, grumbled angrily, "You snatch women’s things, shameless."
"Whether I’m shameless, you didn’t just realize today. If you genuinely want the box, it’s not impossible; as long as you let me kiss you a few times, I’ll consider giving it back to you."
