Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 481: Don’t Underestimate People!
She thought again of Max Quinn, the man who swore to heaven he would never let her down, yet he still changed his heart.
Promises, can they really be effective? Isn’t she very clear on that?
But at this moment, she unexpectedly wanted to hear similar assurances from another man’s mouth, as if it truly had no meaning at all.
She remained silent for a few seconds, pursed her lips and gave a bitter smile, "Young Master Saxon is right, promises are indeed useless; if someone changes their heart, nothing can stop it."
"Miss Nelson, I can’t guarantee the future, but there’s one thing I’m sure of: I’ve never treated a relationship as seriously as I do now," Matthew Saxon said these words to Stella Nelson, but it sounded more like he was speaking to Scarlett Yates.
That woman who always felt uneasy about him, always loved to overthink; if he didn’t reassure her from time to time, he feared she might run away.
Although he didn’t like expressing his feelings to others, with Scarlett Yates, he couldn’t use the usual tricks anymore.
Upon hearing this, Stella Nelson’s lips slightly raised in a smile, nodding, "Since Young Master Saxon said so, I have nothing to worry about. Scarlett has never been in a relationship before, so she might be quite inexperienced and clumsy when it comes to feelings. I hope Young Master Saxon can take extra care."
"Stella, what are you saying? I’m not clumsy," Scarlett Yates reflexively furrowed her brows at the mention of the word clumsy, shaking Stella Nelson’s arm twice.
Besides, why did she have to mention that she had never been in a relationship? It sounds like she doesn’t have much to offer.
After all, now in university, from the freshman year to graduation, many friends have been in three or four relationships, but she hasn’t had a single one. Isn’t that a bit embarrassing?
"Oh, so Scarlett has never dated before." Matthew Saxon raised his lips and lifted his brows as if feeling rather pleased, lowering his head to glance at Scarlett Yates, "So, does that mean I’m your first? Oh dear, Scarlett Yates, are you really that undesirable, three whole years, and no one took notice of you?"
"Who said you’re my first boyfriend, huh? Don’t listen to Stella, I’ve got quite the reputation, those chasing me have to line up."
Seeing Matthew Saxon’s smug face, Scarlett Yates immediately retorted.
"Oh?" His tone was skeptical.
"I’m quite popular at school; don’t underestimate me!" Having her charm questioned, Scarlett Yates furrowed her brows, refusing to admit that the reason she hadn’t been in a relationship was due to her lack of allure.
In fact, she did have quite a few pursuers at school, but she simply never considered having a relationship; she devoted all her thoughts to studying.
At that time, the only thing in her mind was to study well, graduate, and find a decent job.
She was different from others.
Her tuition, living expenses, and all other costs had to be earned by herself. For her, time was never enough each day; how could she spare any extra time and energy to think about other things?
Moreover, back then she liked Henry Dales, and apart from Henry Dales, she couldn’t see anyone else.
"Oh, does that mean guys at Saint Mercy prefer girls who aren’t too smart?" Matthew Saxon seemed uncomfortable if he didn’t tease her for a day, he had just seriously confessed his feelings to Stella Nelson, and now he’s amusing himself with her again.
