Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Saying this hurts my feelings too much
"Scarlett, how can you say that about ..." Knox Simmons was just enjoying the feeling of holding a gentle beauty in his arms. However, before he could savor it for long, the beautiful lady in his embrace ruthlessly pushed him away.
Suddenly, his arms were empty, and he raised his brows in displeasure.
"I’ve been so worried about you that I can’t eat or sleep, thinking about you day and night, my mind unsettled. As long as you didn’t wake up, I couldn’t put my mind at ease, and nothing had any aning for . I’m so concerned about you, thinking of you, and you accuse
of putting on a show? You’re really breaking my heart."
After he said that, as if feeling quite aggrieved, a hint of resentnt shimred in his long, slender peach blossom eyes.
Scarlett Yates snorted lightly, exposing him without giving him any face, "Co on, go trick so other girl with those words. Look at you, so pleased and full of energy, not at all like soone who hasn’t eaten or slept well for days."
Not eating or sleeping well...
For so reason, when these four words were ntioned, she suddenly thought of Matthew Saxon.
The haggard, despondent, and utterly exhausted Matthew Saxon.
It was the first ti she’d seen him look so downtrodden.
In her impression, whether before she knew him or after, Second Young Master Saxon was always impeccably dressed and composed. Descriptions like "graceful as a jade tree" and "charming and debonair" suited him perfectly.
Even when he was confined at ho with a broken leg, he would ticulously maintain his appearance every day.
Why then, had he beco so different this ti?
She didn’t dare to think that the reason he even neglected his image was because of her...
How could she be so important in his heart?
Perhaps, he simply encountered other frustrating matters.
"Scarlett, do you really see
as such an unreliable person?" Knox Simmons’ eyes beca even more resentful, and he frowned unhappily. "After knowing you woke up, I even left a new acquaintance by the wayside, and you’re still saying such things, it’s really breaking my heart."
"Oh, a newly acquainted beauty, huh?"
Scarlett Yates curled her lips and looked at him with a aningful smile, "So the ti you’ve been unable to eat or sleep was spent eting new beauties. No wonder you’re so pleased with yourself..."
"Uh, this..." Knox Simmons realized he had accidentally let sothing slip, and he sincerely regretted his slip of the tongue.
However, not everything he said was untrue. Indeed, after learning that she’d woken up, he did leave a newly acquainted beautiful woman.
Although he exaggerated, his concern for her was genuine.
For soone like Knox, who had played the field for years, passing through countless won without ever forming attachnts, won to him were just a diversion of idle ti. Over the years, won ca and went like a revolving door, and he hadn’t even rembered a single na.
Of course, it wasn’t that he couldn’t rember, just that he hadn’t wanted to.
So, it could be said that Scarlett Yates was the first woman to genuinely catch his attention.
She’s also the first woman who mattered to him.
At least, he had rembered her na.
Scarlett Yates. He recited her na silently in his mind, feeling that not only was she adorable as a person, but even her na was adorable.
Knox Simmons stood awkwardly silent for a few seconds, then shalessly edged closer again, grinning, "Scarlett, how are you feeling now? Did the doctor give you a good check-up? Does your head still hurt?"
