Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Feeling Jealous
Even though it’s still impossible to accept that ridiculous engagent, the initial aversion and disdain have long since changed.
A soft light flashed quickly in his eyes. He placed his large hand over her head, ssing up her already disheveled hair even further. After a gentle sigh, he took her hand, "Let’s go."
The hand held by him, and half of her arm, went stiff. Scarlett Yates looked up at him, still a bit confused in her eyes, "Where to?"
Matthew Saxon continued to ruffle her ssy hair until it resembled a bird’s nest, then satisfactorily withdrew his hand. "Are you planning to sleep out here tonight? If gossip spreads that I’m abusing my fiancée, won’t that ruin my reputation?"
Ruin his reputation?
Scarlett Yates let out a sarcastic snort in her heart at the thought.
Soone like him, does he still care about reputation, or fear it being ruined?
Having been out at such a late hour for so long, Scarlett was also tired and just wanted a good night’s sleep.
Yet the thought of Alice Green made her retort sarcastically, "How could the Young Master care about others’ opinions, even sharing a room with his sister-in-law without fear of gossip, let alone other matters."
Matthew Saxon lowered his head, his long, narrow eyes narrowing with a half-smile, "After all that, you’re just jealous of Alice."
"I... I’m not..." Scarlett’s rebuttal was weak and betrayed a hint of guilt.
Matthew’s thin lips curved slightly, his smile deepening, "Oh?"
With just a simple sound, he conveyed his doubt and disbelief in the most concise way.
eting his teasing gaze, Scarlett blushed with guilt.
Fine, she’ll admit it, she does mind Alice Green a little.
But her concerns were completely different from what he thought.
She wanted to argue a bit, but upon seeing Matthew’s mocking and playful handso face, she suddenly barked in frustration, "Fine, I do mind her. Seriously, why does she have to run into soone else’s room, crying and clinging, occupying soone else’s space? What is that about?"
"Is thunder really so terrifying? So much so that she needs soone to accompany her? I think clearly she has ulterior motives, just looking for an excuse to stay beside you."
The more she spoke, the more she found Alice Green detestable, and her tone grew increasingly indignant, "Young Master, I know you two are fond of each other, uncontrollably so, but she’s soon to marry your brother. Are you really going to be unclear with your sister-in-law? If you truly love her and can’t do without her, while she’s not yet married, you still have a chance to snatch her away. What’s the point of sneaking around like this?"
"Or does the Young Master just enjoy this kind of sneaky feeling?" As she spoke, her tone inadvertently carried a hint of bitterness even she hadn’t realized.
After she finished, she awaited his furious outbreak.
Every ti she ntioned Alice marrying his brother, he would fly into a rage.
She’s seen firsthand how much he defends Alice Green.
A low, dull laugh sounded.
Scarlett was stunned, looking at Matthew in surprise.
What kind of reaction was this?
She had just fiercely scolded his beloved, and even fiercely scolded him along with her.
