Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 636: Eyes shining like light bulbs

"Does that mean he’s going back to Z City?"

Scarlett Yates felt a sudden joy in her heart, but dared not show it too obviously, so she could only secretly smile.

Great.

She hoped he would be constantly entangled in business, so busy he wouldn’t have time to come back.

She didn’t want her peaceful life to be disrupted again.

She had decided to forget him, even leaving the city she had lived in for over twenty years, just to have a new beginning, a new life where she could see a beautiful future.

She didn’t like things that were too complicated.

During the time she was with him, her troubles far outweighed her happiness. Living under constant scrutiny, where even small actions were subject to gossip, was not the life she wanted.

If it weren’t for her overwhelming affection for him at the time, she wouldn’t have had the courage to face such a life.

Because she liked him, she was willing to force herself to accept a life she didn’t like.

Isn’t it right to make sacrifices and give more for someone you love?

Unfortunately, she had overestimated her ability to adapt and endure.

He was a high and mighty young master of a wealthy family; she was an orphan with no parents, and the vast chasm between them couldn’t be changed just by adapting and enduring.

"Are you leaving now?" She repressed the joy in her heart, asking with a calm face.

Matthew Saxon nodded, "Yes."

Scarlett pretended to take out her phone to check the time, then said in the most indifferent tone possible, "Oh, I’m also about to head to work, so let’s go together."

Matthew glanced at her sideways, a subtle smile flickering on his thin lips, "Scarlett Yates, are you just hoping for me to leave quickly?"

Scarlett’s face changed slightly, she hurriedly shook her head, "I’m not."

She thought she had hidden her true emotions well, not a trace of joy showing, so how did he know she was hoping he’d leave?

This man always seemed to effortlessly see through her.

Just like how, to escape, she had made up a lie that he should pursue her. Even though he agreed, Scarlett still felt he had already seen through what she was really thinking.

But why did he agree anyway?

Thinking it over, he must have had some plan in mind, so when she made her request, he went along with it and agreed.

He could see through her thoughts, but she couldn’t guess his mind.

"Not?" Matthew sneered, "Your eyes are shining like a light bulb, and you still dare say no?"

Her eyes shining like a light bulb?

Is that true?

Scarlett immediately lowered her head to check herself in her phone and found that her eyes were indeed quite bright, like the sparkle one gets when joyful over some happy news.

She could control her emotions.

But she couldn’t control her body’s natural reactions.

Trying to deceive Matthew, who was as cunning as a fox, was no easy task.

She touched her nose and gave an awkward smile.

Though Matthew didn’t really want to go back so soon, after taking that call earlier, he had to return.

The matter was minor, but if it wasn’t handled properly, letting rumors spread would turn a small issue into a difficult-to-manage big one.

He had just seen the secretive joy on Scarlett’s face.

This girl thought she had concealed it well, but little did she know her every move was seen by him, even the slightest difference was caught.
