Chapter 273: Chapter 273: The Grace of Saving a Life is Greater Than Heaven
God knows, he really doesn’t want to be so damned brother.
He already has a pile of sisters at ho, all bad-tempered little brats who bicker and make noise all day, only making him feel annoyed.
He truly dislikes being a brother.
But he found himself unable to say the words of refusal, even if his heart was unwilling.
"I knew it, Young Master Simmons was just joking with , trying to make
happy," Scarlett Yates feigned indifference, though her words leaked a bit of disappointnt.
"Who said I was joking?"
Seeing her saddened expression, Knox Simmons seed to be triggered by sothing, and without thinking it through, he blurted out, "Of course, I sincerely want to be your brother, Scarlett. I’ve been wanting a little sister as cute as you for ages."
"Really?" Scarlett’s bright, dark eyes looked at him again, carrying a hint of uncertainty and doubt.
Knox Simmons imdiately patted his chest and vowed, "Absolutely true, I wouldn’t say such things casually to anyone. From today on, you’re my sister, Scarlett."
If I’m going to be a brother, then so be it.
After all, they’re not real siblings.
Siblings without any blood relation, what’s the deal?
She’s been resisting him so fiercely, just perfect —now that they’ve established a sibling relationship, he can rightfully approach her.
This is a good thing for him, and an excellent opportunity.
In no ti, Knox Simmons thoroughly considered the various benefits.
Earlier, his smile had been sowhat insincere, but now it was genuine, "Scarlett, since we’re siblings now, we should be open with each other. Can you tell
what the arranged marriage between the Saxon Family and the Yates Family is all about?"
Scarlett stared at him, "Why are you asking about that?"
Knox Simmons smiled and said, "Just curious, that’s all. How did such vastly different families like the Saxons and yours end up with an arranged marriage?"
This matter wasn’t exactly a secret that couldn’t be shared.
Scarlett thought for a mont, and seeing that he was genuinely curious, simply told him what Roy Saxon had said to her.
"So, it’s because of a lifesaving debt?"
Knox Simmons seed to realize and nodded with a smile, "A debt of gratitude for a lifesaving deed is greater than anything; this marriage engagent is definitely legitimate."
"I never thought Matthew would accept such an arrangent." A mont later, Knox Simmons comnted, seemingly with a sigh.
If this situation happened to him, he would never accept it.
Forcing him to marry a stranger he’s never t and has no feelings for, he couldn’t accept it even upon death.
Because he could never accept such an arranged marriage, he ran away after the wedding was set.
Based on his understanding of Matthew Saxon, he reckoned Matthew would react with even stronger opposition.
So, he couldn’t help but be curious.
Scarlett’s expression involuntarily darkened.
Only she knew, Matthew Saxon hadn’t truly accepted.
He already has a woman he likes, so how could he possibly accept her when his heart is elsewhere? Even Knox Simmons knows that.
It shows that his love for Alice Green is no secret within his social circle.
She couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "He said that even without this arranged marriage, his future marriage would be a comrcial alliance anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Accepting
is the sa as accepting any other woman."
