"Who says I always want to be with you every single moment?" Scarlett Yates smacked him away. With Matthew Saxon’s indulgence, she was becoming increasingly spoiled and arrogant. "I don’t need you to be with me all the time. Once this busy period is over, I need to get back to work."

"Scarlett, are you sure you don’t want to keep an eye on me?" Matthew Saxon smirked and winked at her. "Aren’t you afraid some woman might throw herself at me?"

Scarlett let out a light snort, dismissively saying, "I told you, if you dare to cheat, I will..."

She was about to say the word ’divorce’ but suddenly remembered Matthew’s suggestion that she not casually mention divorce, and fell silent. After a few seconds, she continued with a soft hum, "If you dare to cheat, I’ll make you wear a green hat."

Matthew was startled, then his face darkened, and he pretended to be angry, "Scarlett Yates, you damn woman, say that again if you dare, what are you planning to do?"

This damn woman, she actually said right in front of him that she’d make him wear a green hat. He found it both infuriating and amusing.

Scarlett was brazen, glaring at him with her eyebrows raised, "What’s there to be afraid to say? If you act first, I’ll reciprocate. Very fair, it’s called ’An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’."

After saying that, she nodded in satisfaction at her own justification, concluding, "This is called putting the ugly words upfront so everyone can settle the account later."

Who let his past be too outrageous, leaving no room for reassurance?

Matthew had been pretending to be angry, but now he was genuinely annoyed by her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He pressed his lips tightly and let out a cold snort, unhappily saying, "In your eyes, am I that unreliable? Do you think I’m so inexperienced with women that any woman who tempts me just easily sways me?"

Scarlett kept muttering, "Of course you can control yourself not to actively seek them out, but if they come to tempt you, how many men can resist a woman who throws herself at them?"

Moreover, she knew very well that the women who actively approached Matthew Saxon were indeed stunningly beautiful.

These women had looks, had figures, and were masters at pleasing men.

Seeing her still acting like she had every right, Matthew truly had the urge to strangle her.

This damn woman, today was supposed to be a great day, does she have to make him angry to feel satisfied?

He made her so many promises, did she just let them go in one ear and out the other?

"So, in your view, I’m such a shallow man? As long as a woman is willing to seduce me, I can’t resist the temptation?" He said this through gritted teeth, suppressing his anger.

Scarlett was slow to realize.

Only now did she notice Matthew Saxon seemed a bit unhappy.

She blinked and looked up, staring at him for a while, softly asked, "Matthew, are you angry?"

Matthew’s Peach Blossom Eyes narrowed, glaring at her without speaking.

Scarlett felt a bit guilty being glared at by him, hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "The things I said earlier weren’t meant to show I don’t trust you, don’t overthink it."

He let out a cold laugh, still saying nothing.

Scarlett felt even more guilty, initially thinking she wasn’t wrong, but Matthew’s attitude made her feel like she had indeed done something wrong.

"Um... don’t be mad, okay? I really didn’t mean to doubt you, even if I was wrong, I’ll apologize, alright? I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll never say something like that again."
