Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?

"Scarlett, you hope that I don’t focus my attention on you anymore? Alright, I promise you. I’ve said before, I’ll listen to whatever you say, and if this is what you wish for, I’ll do as you say. From now on, I’ll truly treat you like a sister. Is that okay?"

Scarlett Yates felt that she must have done a lot of good things in her past life to have met so many people who treat her well.

Knox Simmons, Henry Dales, and the Jimmy Scott she hadn’t seen in a long, long time.

"It seems Second Young Master Simmons said many touching things to you; you’re about to cry," Matthew Saxon teased, with a hint of jealousy in his tone, though he didn’t truly mind.

He could easily see who Scarlett Yates’s heart actually leaned towards.

Knox Simmons was well-versed in sweet talks, and many girls were swept off their feet by his words. Scarlett, being a sensitive and emotional person, was naturally prone to being moved.

This only proved she was truly a kind-hearted girl.

"Yes, he said many things that touched me." Scarlett nodded, not intending to hide it.

Matthew Saxon smirked, reaching out to ruffle his own hair, "Oh, then tell me, what touching things did he say? Perhaps I can learn a thing or two."

Matthew Saxon chuckled, "Why would you learn that? You planning to use it on girls?"

He continued, pretending to be stern and glaring at her, feigning anger, "Matthew Saxon, I’m warning you, as a married man, you better behave. If I find out you’re still flirting with young girls, you’ll be in big trouble."

Matthew said with a playful smile, "How did you guess I was going to use it on young girls? Scarlett, you’re truly like a worm in my stomach."

A worm in the stomach...

Such a metaphor was quite off-putting, Scarlett’s lip twitched, "Does this mean someone’s really unlucky? I’m curious to know which young girl has such awful luck to catch the eye of a playboy like you."

"What do you think?" Matthew Saxon smiled, using his finger to tilt Scarlett’s chin up and imitating the teasing pose of ruffians from the past, drawing his face closer, he breathed out, "This young girl is, of course, right before me, Scarlett, you are so right, this young girl’s luck is extraordinarily bad, because the playboy has decided to stick to her for life."

In public, Scarlett was still not quite used to acting so intimate; she always felt that there were people everywhere outside, and it was quite embarrassing to be stared at.

Seeing Matthew Saxon’s face getting closer and closer, she froze, blushing, and turned her head to try to avoid it.

But Matthew’s movements were even faster; he switched from holding her chin to cupping her face securely, preventing her from moving, as the warmth of his breath neared.

Scarlett swallowed, "What are you doing, we’re outside..."

"What does it matter? Can’t a man kiss his wife outside, does the law say you can’t kiss outdoors? Am I breaking the law here?"

He was clearly twisting her words.

Scarlett tried to argue, "That’s not what I meant, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the rest of her words were silenced by Matthew’s hot pressing lips.

Scarlett initially thought he would just give her a quick peck, but little did she know, it turned into a fiery, passionate kiss.
