Chapter 410: Chapter 410: You just said I was very annoying
She rembered very clearly what he had said to her that night on the beach. It had only been a few short days since that night, could his thoughts have changed so quickly?
"I don’t know what you’re talking about." She was stunned for a mont, biting her lip tightly, then took a deep, long, forceful breath.
In this state, it seed as if during the ti she had been contemplating, she hadn’t breathed at all.
This deep breath gradually cald her down, and her wildly beating heart slowly steadied, though her heartbeat was still erratic, sotis fast, sotis slow.
A low chuckle sounded, Matthew Saxon curled his lips into a smile, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "Never mind if you don’t know, don’t overthink it. Your little brain isn’t that smart to begin with; thinking too much will only make you dumber."
"What kind of talk is that, saying my brain isn’t that smart to begin with!" Scarlett Yates was displeased, widening her eyes to glare at him.
He was always like this, taking any opportunity to belittle her.
"Scarlett, you need to face your own shortcomings. Admitting you’re not that smart isn’t sothing to be ashad of; everyone’s intelligence varies. I don’t mind, so what are you unhappy about?"
"Can’t you say sothing nice for once?"
"Honesty is harsh. Avoiding and refusing to face your actions is wrong, and it won’t change anything."
"Matthew Saxon, have I ever told you that you’re the most unlikable man in the world?"
"You just said I was the best person in the world, Scarlett. It seems you’re not only not smart enough, but your mory isn’t good either."
"I take back what I just said!"
"Too late, Scarlett. Have you ever seen water scooped back after being poured out?"
"..."
"Words once spoken cannot be taken back either."
"Is your face that sour because you’re holding a grudge against ?"
"If that’s the case, it seems you don’t want those wood carvings anymore either. After all, in your heart, I’m the most hated man, so you wouldn’t want sothing from such a hated man." With that said, Matthew Saxon let go of her hand.
"Wait!" And just as he let go, Scarlett Yates grabbed his hand again.
He raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion, "What’s the matter?"
"Those rosewood carvings..." Scarlett Yates bit her lip, took a few deep breaths, and forced a smile, "You promised to give them to ."
For sothing she liked, sotis face really didn’t count for much.
Besides, in front of soone as shaless as Matthew Saxon, it wasn’t a big deal for her to be shaless twice now and then.
"Oh, you an those carvings..." Matthew Saxon curled his lips, his long, slender Peach Blossom Eyes glimring slightly, "Are you trying to say you don’t want them anymore?"
"No!" Scarlett Yates blushed, took another deep breath, and smiled flatteringly, "You promised to give them to ; you won’t go back on your word, right?"
"You just said I’m annoying..." Matthew Saxon furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly hurt by her words.
"It was a joke, just a joke..." Scarlett Yates held his hand even tighter, "You treat
so well, inviting
to dinner and giving
gifts, how could I possibly dislike you."
"Oh?"
"It really was just a joke, don’t take it seriously." She blinked, trying to show she was sincere, giving his hand a tug and intensifying her tone, "If my words hurt you, I apologize. I won’t make such jokes recklessly in the future."
