Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: Fine, I’ll Talk with You

He can remain so calm partly because he feels that the more he pushes, the more it backfires, and partly because he’s sure Scarlett will be willing to walk this path with him.

As he said, regardless of her decision, they have to talk, and he believes Scarlett understands this deeply.

After a moment of silence, Scarlett nodded gently, "Alright, I’ll talk with you."

"Scarlett..." Knox panicked, gripping her hand tightly.

"Knox, let go of me. The issues between him and me are bound to be resolved sooner or later; let me have a good talk with him." Scarlett’s tone was very gentle, smiling at Knox as if coaxing a child throwing a tantrum, "Didn’t you say you still owe Stella and me a meal? After I’m done talking, how about you treat us to dinner tonight?"

Knox felt there wouldn’t be any night.

Women have a sixth sense, and sometimes men do too.

His intuition tells him that Matthew Saxon will definitely coax Scarlett back to his side again.

Moreover, as long as Matthew opens his mouth to coax, Scarlett won’t be able to refuse him.

He saw it clearly, distinctly; he saw that Scarlett still cares deeply about Matthew.

But he still loosened his fingers one by one.

As long as Scarlett speaks, no matter what she says, he cannot refuse her.

He was silent for a while and then raised his head, a helpless and lost smile on his lips: "Alright... I’ll wait for you, I’ll make the reservation shortly, when you’re done talking... give me a call, I’ll come and pick you up."

Hearing this, Matthew gave a cold laugh, his gaze sinisterly falling on Knox’s hand gripping Scarlett’s arm, wishing he could cut it off right then.

What made him feel even more angry and frustrated was Scarlett’s attitude toward Knox.

She is his woman, yet in front of him, she is exceedingly gentle to another man.

When she spoke to Knox, her eyes and tone were unbelievably gentle, but when facing him, she showed a cold expression, her gaze indifferent and icy.

This stark contrast made him extremely uncomfortable inside.

But he couldn’t vent it, he still had to restrain himself, suppressing his temper.

The reason their relationship has become so strained was because he couldn’t hold back his temper before; he didn’t want to repeat the same mistake at this critical moment.

Things were already bad enough; if they quarreled again, maybe they’d be completely finished.

This time, Matthew’s patience and self-restraint were extraordinary, waiting for Scarlett to calm Knox down before speaking again: "Let’s go, it’s getting late, let’s talk over a meal."

Scarlett had no objections to this, and as Matthew turned toward the elevator, she slowly followed.

Just a few steps in, a soft, pitiful voice came from behind: "Scarlett..."

Scarlett turned back to see Knox standing in place, looking pitiful, his eyes filled with a layer of mist as if tears could fall at any moment, his voice also pitiful, "Remember, I’m waiting for you, we agreed to have dinner together tonight. Even though I stood you up once, you can’t stand me up."

"If you don’t come, I’ll keep waiting for you."

He knew he was being shameless, unreasonable.

But at this moment, he really lacked confidence.
