Chapter 1469: Because I Want To

Chapter 1469: Chapter 1469: Because I Want To

"Why?"

"You don’t really want to hold my hand, and now Grandpa isn’t watching, so there’s no need to act anymore."

Matthew Saxon was startled, then laughed and turned to look at her: "What if I said I really wanted to do this?"

Finished speaking, not only did he not let go, he tightened his grip, completely enclosing her little hand in his palm.

Scarlett Yates’ hand, tightly held by him, stiffened: "Why?"

Sometimes he asked why, sometimes she did; to an outsider, they probably wouldn’t understand what they were talking about.

This kind of conversation that can only be sensed but not explained, only the people involved can understand it.

"No reason, because I wanted to, so I did." Matthew Saxon’s reason was simple, so simple it made no difference whether he said it or not.

Scarlett Yates asked again: "Why want to do this?"

Frankly, Matthew had confessed to her, but she still felt an emptiness, an unreality.

A man who doesn’t even remember her, who used to show her a cold face, suddenly confessing his love, his attitude changing so quickly, how could she not feel it was unreal?

Matthew Saxon smiled, and instead asked: "Why do you think?"

"How would I know, maybe you’re just bored, or maybe Grandpa told you to do it, for the Saxon Family’s face."

"Does the Matthew Saxon you know listen to his Grandpa?"

The Matthew Saxon she knew?

Scarlett Yates thought about it carefully, shook her head, then shook her head again.

She only remembered, when Matthew first took her to see Ian Douglas, Grandpa and grandson performed a ’knife-throwing’ game in front of her, really scaring her enough.

If Matthew were an obedient good boy, then there wouldn’t be any disobedient children.

"So, your guess is wrong. As for you saying it’s for the Saxon Family’s face, tell me, for which part of the face?" His expression was very earnest, as if he was genuinely asking seriously.

His earnest questioning made it hard for her not to answer; thinking for a moment, she said: "After all, my status is Young Madam of the Saxon Family, but I’m always with Knox Simmons. You’re afraid people might write bad news about it, which isn’t good for the Saxon Family’s reputation."

He curled his lips: "Is the Matthew Saxon you know someone who cares about rumors?"

"No." This time, Scarlett Yates answered quickly.

If Matthew Saxon really cared about others’ gossiping, he wouldn’t have gotten himself into constant scandals.

Having a playboy reputation also greatly damaged his own dignity.

Matthew Saxon raised his eyebrows: "So, that guess is wrong too. Scarlett Yates, unless I’m willing, no one can force me."

He slowly stopped walking, turned around, leaned down, and gazed at her: "You just don’t believe I’m doing this because I truly like you?"

"Did I ever say these things to you before?"

Scarlett Yates also stopped along with his steps.

She raised her head slightly, biting her lip, and looked at him for a while before softly saying: "But... you don’t remember me, to you I’m just like a stranger, how could you suddenly feel you like me?"

"It wasn’t sudden, it has never changed."

It was just that he hadn’t realized it before, and even when he later did, he deceived himself, unwilling to admit it.
