He’s in a meeting.

Feeling the vibration of his phone, he took it out and glanced through the messages. His lips curled into a smile as he tapped a few times on the screen and sent a message back.

When Scarlett Yates received Matthew Saxon’s message, she had already been persuaded by Stella Nelson to leave the mall.

"Scarlett, your ability to spend money is really too weak. You spent so little in so much time. I’ve told you, don’t save money for me, why won’t you listen? Come on, keep trying to shop, don’t disappoint me."

After reading the message, Scarlett was still sulking, when another message followed.

"Far East Mall is very close to Seymour, since you’re out, let’s have lunch together at noon. I want to see you in half an hour."

After reading the message, Scarlett grumbled, "What kind of tone is this, ordering me around, and wanting to see me in half an hour, I’m not going."

After speaking, she quickly typed a message and sent it over: Not available, I’m accompanying Stella shopping, eat by yourself.

Soon, Matthew Saxon replied: Bring her along too.

"Who sent the message, Matthew Saxon?"

Scarlett Yates nodded, "Yeah, Stella, do you know what he said? He just told me my ability to spend money is too weak and that I should keep trying to buy more. I said we should continue shopping, but you insisted on asking me to leave."

"Scarlett, are you trying to make me envious? It’s quite a blessing to be a woman like you, with such a capable and handsome husband who’s willing to let you spend his money. Do you know how many women dream of that?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"You shouldn’t be so smug."

Scarlett Yates smiled brightly and lifted her face, "Stella, why don’t we just let him treat us for lunch? It’s quite close to Seymour."

"No way, I won’t go to be the third wheel, what fun would it be for me with you two lovebirds having lunch?"

"What third wheel? He specifically said he wants to treat you for lunch, so just come with me." Scarlett Yates clung to her arm and pleaded.

"I..." Stella Nelson was about to say something but her expression suddenly changed, her face, which had just regained some color, instantly became pale again.

Scarlett Yates noticed her discomfort and hesitated, "Stella, what’s wrong?"

Stella Nelson said nothing.

She looked like she was frozen in place, staring straight ahead.

Scarlett Yates found it strange, followed her gaze, and once she saw the man walking toward them, she understood everything.

The man in a suit, looking quite dignified, was none other than Hayes Simmons.

Clearly, Hayes Simmons also noticed Stella Nelson.

When he walked directly up to them, Hayes Simmons first greeted Scarlett Yates politely, then turned his gaze to Stella Nelson.

He reached out a hand to Stella Nelson, a hint of restrained anger in his dark eyes, his thin lips tightly pressed together. After a moment, he said slowly, "Stella Nelson, come with me, we need to talk."

Stella Nelson slowly lowered her head, looking at his outstretched hand, her lips moved a few times before she trembled and spoke, "Hayes Simmons, I don’t think there’s anything more for us to talk about. We were clear at the time, you walk your path and I’ll walk mine, neither of us should interfere with the other. You’re getting married, why come looking for me?"
