Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 686: That Guy is So Anxious About You
"But anyway, being used by him is better than being used by those people in the past. At least he still treats me like a person," Angela said, slightly narrowing her alluring cat-like eyes as the steam from the cup brushed against her face. "Have you always been curious why I’m so afraid of her?"
She turned her head, forcing an unnatural smile, and for the first time, she didn’t continue portraying herself as a delicate kitten in front of Scarlett: "I’m really afraid that if I make him angry, he’ll throw me back to that place where no person should be kept."
"Scarlett, I’m really scared, I never want to live that zombie-like life again," she blinked, tears glistening in her eyes, "Although I know it’s unlikely, you know Matthew Saxon isn’t as carefree as he seems. His temper is erratic, unpredictable, and I can’t fathom his thoughts at all."
"So as long as it’s something he asks, I’ll do my best to make him think I’m still useful. That way, as long as I have value in his heart, he won’t abandon me as a piece on the chessboard."
"That’s why I’m so terrified of him. It’s not him that scares me, but the fear that he’ll abandon me. Losing his protection, Scarlett, do you know how terrifying it is to lose a powerful ally?"
Scarlett was stunned for a few seconds and shook her head.
Although she didn’t understand precisely what Angela meant by terrifying, seeing Angela’s fear along the way, Scarlett thought that the place where Angela stayed before following Matthew Saxon must have been truly frightening.
She remembered Angela saying if it weren’t for Matthew, she would still have to deal with those disgusting men.
Hearing such words from a beautiful woman...
Scarlett didn’t want to think deeply about it.
"I see," Scarlett finally understood where her fear was coming from.
She didn’t know how to comfort Angela, so she thought about it and said softly, "If you’re worried about losing his protection, you really don’t have to be so scared."
Angela was taken aback.
"He’s very protective. Since you are already his person, he won’t let you return to the past to suffer."
"Someone like him, even the things he no longer wants, he wouldn’t hand over to scoundrels."
"Really?" Angela’s eyes brightened, but her expression still carried some confusion and uncertainty.
"Yes, really." Though Scarlett didn’t know Matthew Saxon well, she thought saying this might reassure Angela.
A young and beautiful girl worrying every day about being abandoned, Angela shouldn’t live under such pressure for long.
Angela stared at her bewilderedly for a while and finally smiled: "You’re someone he cares about deeply. Your words can’t be wrong, I believe you."
Perhaps Scarlett’s comfort worked, as Angela seemed in better spirits, her face now smiling and no longer sullen, ready to talk about other things: "Scarlett, you know, I was surprised to see how nervous he is about you."
"I thought someone like him, a complete flirt, could never truly give his heart to any woman for life. He’s so proud, with his eyes seemingly on top of his head, acting like nobody is worthy of him."
