Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: Why Are You Suddenly So Close

--

Inside the car.

After returning to reality from a brief moment of joy, Scarlett Yates seemed burdened with worries.

She would occasionally sneak a glance at Matthew Saxon sitting beside her.

Perhaps because he had rested well, Matthew’s complexion looked much better, no longer as haggard and pale as it did during the day.

"What are you looking at?"

Matthew noticed that this was already the fourth time Scarlett had secretly glanced at him.

Although she thought she was concealing it well, he actually noticed from the first time she peeked at him.

He just hadn’t pointed it out.

But her repeated secret glances followed by a worried expression finally compelled Matthew to ask.

"Nothing really, I was just observing how quickly it turned dark outside," Scarlett turned her head, pretending to admire the nighttime view outside the car window.

In a bustling metropolis like Z City, the nightlife is indeed the liveliest and most beautiful.

The neon lights on the streets, the lights shining from the shop windows, and the various street lamps...

When countless lights simultaneously illuminate the city, even in the cold winter night, it can bring a hint of warmth.

Clearly lying.

Matthew grinned, "What’s the matter? Do you think I look especially handsome today, so you couldn’t resist sneaking a peek several times? You don’t need to do it secretly; I’m all yours, you can look however you want, just do it openly."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Scarlett felt her face heat up, retorting, "Who was sneaking a peek at you? Don’t be conceited."

"Then it was surely the little dog that was sneaking peeks at me?"

"You’re the little dog."

"I meant the one sneaking peeks is the little dog, why are you scolding me?" He turned his head, his narrow almond eyes gleaming with mischievous humor.

Scarlett bit her lip, glared at him, and decided to admit it, straightening her posture confidently. "Alright, I was sneaking a peek, no, I wasn’t sneaking, I was openly looking. What are you going to do about it?"

He chuckled, finding her demeanor incredibly adorable, reached over with one hand, and ruffled her hair, "Nothing really, if you want to look, just look. If you want to do something else after looking, that’s fine too."

The light ahead turned red.

While speaking, Matthew slowed the car to a stop and leaned his head closer to Scarlett, "Scarlett, if you want to touch, that’s also allowed."

Matthew noticed his forgotten memories were truly recovering gradually...

Just after waking from a nap, he realized he had recovered some memories, like how he let Scarlett accompany him back to the Saxon Family under the guise of taking care of him.

And how, in a fit of anger, he had kissed her.

Then... they had gone to that little island together, staying in the same room...

The more memories returned, the stronger the long-lost sense of familiarity grew.

In his memories, he seemed to tease Scarlett often, like right now...

Matthew’s hand softly landed on her face, his handsome features inching closer until they were just a little away from a kissable distance.

His breath lightly brushed against her lips, warm and gentle.

It was as if a feather had floated into Scarlett’s heart, gently brushing past, making her feel ticklish.

Scarlett moved back slightly, swallowed hard, visibly anxious, and stared wide-eyed at him, "Wh-what are you doing, Matthew Saxon why did you suddenly get so close."
