Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 706: Why Not Possible?
His heartbeat was strong and powerful, pounding fiercely and quickly.
"Why not?" His large hand covered her head, gently caressing, his voice low and hoarse, tugging at the heartstrings, "Scarlett, we were meant to get married. From the moment you were born, you were destined to be my wife, don’t you remember?"
"We already broke up." Her voice trembled, her hands shook as she pushed him twice, only to be caught and held.
He let out a soft laugh, took a deep breath, inhaling the enchanting fragrance of her hair, his voice husky, "So what? People can reunite after breaking up. Besides, even though I agreed to the breakup at that time, it wasn’t willingly."
Scarlett was taken aback.
He hadn’t been willing, so why did he agree so readily?
Matthew’s low, hoarse voice spoke gently and slowly above her head, "Back then, I noticed that Maxwell had set his sights on you. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I feared the better I treated you, the more dangerous your situation would become. I thought at least after we broke up, we could shift his attention elsewhere, but..."
As he spoke, he laughed at himself: "I misjudged. Even after we broke up, he still had designs on you."
As a man himself, he could see that Maxwell genuinely wanted Scarlett.
He saw the unwavering determination in Maxwell’s eyes.
A look that only comes from a man’s intense interest in a woman.
Eyes filled with possessiveness.
Such a look was purely a man’s resolve to possess a woman, unrelated to any other factors.
He realized then that Maxwell’s interest in Scarlett was not due to internal conflicts within the Saxon Family.
This insight only made him more uneasy.
He understood Maxwell too well.
Maxwell, like him, had an obstinate resolve for what he wanted, securing it by any means necessary.
"Scarlett, I wanted to protect you, but I ended up pushing you away myself." He sighed, feeling like he was punishing himself, "This time, I won’t let go of you again."
She would soon learn the truth about the situation between him and Alexis.
After the misunderstanding was cleared, why couldn’t they return to how things were before?
Matthew recalled the words Roy had spoken to him during this visit to A City.
Roy wanted him to find a way to win her back.
In Roy’s mind, she was the only daughter-in-law he acknowledged.
"In extreme times, use extreme measures. If necessary, have her bear the Saxon Family’s child. Once a woman has a child, it’s easier for her to compromise, and besides, I can see that the girl likes you."
"You’ve done so many ridiculous things over the years, and I’ve never interfered, but this time, you must win Scarlett back. I really like that child; besides her, I want no other daughter-in-law."
Roy told him many things, and some suggestions weren’t without merit.
In extreme times, use extreme measures, and Matthew also felt it necessary to try this if needed.
If this stubborn girl remained unwilling to turn back, he’d have to resort to shamelessness once more.
He’d been cursed so many times by her, he wouldn’t mind enduring it again.
As long as the goal could be achieved, whether the means were despicable or shameless, it had never been a problem for him to consider.
