Chapter 1419: Chapter 1419: Why Do I Like You So Much

"The doctor said it’s temporary amnesia, and he should recover his memory in at most two weeks, but it’s already been so many days, and he still can’t remember anything."

Scarlett Yates’ voice grew softer, still crying yet laughing: "Knox Simmons, do you know, I’m really scared. What if he never remembers me? What should I do then?"

"To him, I’m just a stranger now, so it’s not surprising he chased a stranger away from his house, right?"

"Do you know why I decided to leave? Besides because of that woman, the most unacceptable thing for me is the way he looks at me. I can’t stand him looking at me like a stranger."

"Staying at the Saxon Family’s house only makes one feel increasingly stifled. After I leave, it’ll be a relief for both of us; we can both relax a lot more."

She said so much in one breath, then reached out to wipe away her tears and managed a smile at the shocked Knox Simmons: "Tell me, what should I do? When he treats me as a stranger, bringing a woman home doesn’t seem like a big deal, does it? After all, he doesn’t remember me, so there’s no reason for him to be faithful to me."

"Who would remain faithful to a stranger?"

"Thinking like this, it seems he isn’t really wronging me. It’s understandable."

Yet pretending as if nothing ever happened is too, too difficult for her.

If she didn’t like him so much, she could use these reasons to excuse him.

After a long silence, Knox Simmons lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then patted her head, his eyes full of tenderness: "Scarlett, let’s save these worries to solve later. We promised today we wouldn’t worry about anything, easier said than done, but we’ll find a solution."

He used the sleeve of his pajamas to wipe away her tear-stained face, the gesture gentle, as careful as if he were cleaning his most treasured sweetie, then softly kissed her forehead again: "No matter what, I’ll be with you. You won’t be alone."

Scarlett Yates’ tears, which had just stopped, were about to flow again, moved to tears: "Knox Simmons..."

Knox Simmons sighed softly, smoothing her hair at her forehead with his fingers: "Seeing you cry makes my heart nearly break. Scarlett, why do I like you so much?"

Scarlett Yates felt her face heat up, embarrassed, she loosened the hands wrapped around his waist, and wanted to slip out of his embrace: "Knox Simmons, I’m so hungry now... How much longer until we get to that place you mentioned?"

She was changing the subject.

Seeing she was shy again, Knox Simmons smiled, although reluctant to let go of the embrace, he couldn’t bear Scarlett Yates going hungry for long.

Letting her slip away, he turned and looked out the car window, estimated the time, and said: "Almost there, hang on for twenty more minutes, then I’ll get you something delicious."

Hearing him say this, Scarlett Yates quietly mumbled to herself: In such cold weather, in the middle of the night, where will he find something delicious? Finding anything edible would already be pretty good.

When Knox Simmons said twenty minutes, it was really twenty minutes.

His accuracy in estimating time was incredibly precise.

Twenty minutes later, Knox Simmons swiped the card to drive into a high-end residential area.
