Chapter 1491: All You Ever Say to Me Is "I’m Sorry
"You and Matthew are back together, aren’t you? So, was it him who made you say these things to me?"
"Scarlett, have you forgotten the pain after your wounds healed? Have you forgotten what he has done to you? Have you forgotten how you were shivering cold when you called me last night?"
"If you’ve forgotten, then let me remind you." Knox’s face grew darker, his eyes seemed to harbor a massive storm ready to erupt at any moment, "When I saw you, you were curled up like a stray dog in the corner against the wall, shivering from the cold. At that moment, do you know how distressed and angry I was? How much I wanted to beat Matthew Saxon up?"
"The woman I want to care for, to cherish, he ends up bullying like this."
"Scarlett, have you forgotten the pain after your scars healed? It’s not even a day yet, and you’ve decided to forgive him?" Knox grew more furious as he spoke.
His anger was mixed with the heartbreak of rejection and a genuine frustration at her lack of resistance.
What is this?
He still remembers how she held him and cried heartbreakingly last night. Her tears were so sorrowful, so aggrieved, as if she had suffered all the grievances in the world.
At that time, he truly thought Matthew Saxon was the biggest jerk in the world.
But now, it’s like she doesn’t remember anything.
Or perhaps she does remember, but she just doesn’t care anymore.

She forgave Matthew Saxon.
Even after all the awful things Matthew Saxon did to her, she still forgave him.
Does she really like Matthew Saxon that much?
No matter how outrageous the man named Matthew Saxon acts, as long as he says some pleasing words afterward, can she really let bygones be bygones?
Scarlett felt slightly ashamed by his words.
Actually, she also felt she forgave Matthew Saxon too easily.
Last night, when she packed her bags and walked out of the Saxon Family’s house under the cold stares of Matthew Saxon and that woman in the red dress, at that moment, she truly hated Matthew Saxon to the core.
"Sorry, Knox, I..." Scarlett bit her lip. In Knox’s relentless questioning, she felt like a heinous sinner.
"Sorry, sorry, all you know is to say sorry to me." That word ’sorry’ seemed to stab deep into his heart, and suddenly his expression turned from anger to dejection, like a balloon suddenly deflated, losing a great deal of its spirit.
The storm and fury in his eyes quickly faded away, the fire in his gaze dimmed little by little, and his deep Peach Blossom Eyes lost their former brilliance: "You haven’t done anything to wrong me, so why keep apologizing to me? You and Matthew are husband and wife after all. It’s normal for couples to fight and then make up. Why are you apologizing to me?"
"Whether you forgive him or not is entirely up to you. We were never deeply connected, so what right do I have to interfere in this matter..."
His voice, like the light in his eyes, grew fainter: "Scarlett, you’ve not done anything wrong to me. As long as you feel you’ve stayed true to yourself, that’s all that matters."
In an instant, it was as if he had become a different person.
His emotions were still intense just now, as if he was about to have a huge argument with her, but suddenly, he changed completely.
He curled his lips into a smile, which was both bitter and helpless, his voice was low and hushed, a trace of faint sadness flickered in his eyes: "Scarlett, you really do like Matthew a lot, don’t you? Actually, I saw it all along."
