Chapter 193
Could it be that she has really fallen in love with Matthew Saxon?
Her expression changed again, and once this thought emerged, her heart could no longer remain calm.
The expressions on her face shifted from confusion to doubt, from panic to fear and helplessness.
This kind of expression really resembles a woman caught in the web of love.
Matthew Saxon watched, his gaze becoming complex.
Half-jokingly yet half-seriously, he said, “Scarlett Yates, please don’t fall in love with me. I don’t want to hurt you. If there ever comes a day when you truly fall for me, I will make sure you never see me again p>
He couldn’t remember how many women had fallen in love with him.
All he remembered was that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in the end, those women cried out that he had hurt them.
“Matthew Saxon, men like you never understand what love is. You toy with others’ feelings recklessly now, but one day, when you meet a woman you truly like, the way you’ve hurt others will be the way she hurts you p>
“Matthew Saxon, do you believe in karma? You’ve racked up so many emotional debts, and when payback comes, you’ll know what true pain feels like p>
Matthew Saxon no longer remembered what the woman who spoke those words looked like.
Yet, he somehow still remembered words that were akin to a curse.
Thinking of it, he merely let out a disdainful chuckle.
Karma? He never believed in any so-called karma.
Nor did he believe he would truly fall for any woman.
In his eyes, love was nothing but a laughable thing.
After witnessing his best friend suffer and be utterly miserable for love, he vowed never to tamper with such matters.
Even though he expressed these words jokingly, Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but be startled.
Though she knew this man was heartless, hearing him say such things made her heart turn cold.
See, he is exactly such a heartless and flirtatious man.
Affection here and there, but never taking responsibility for anyone.
She can fall for anyone else in her life, but she must never develop feelings for this man.
Those budding emotions within her vanished completely at this moment.
The messy and tangled emotions from before gradually settled into calmness.
The fire in her heart merely flickered for an instant, extinguished by his heartless words.
“Young Master p>
Her face no longer held confusion, helplessness, or fear. Her bright eyes gazed at him, calm and indifferent, “Thank you for the reminder; I will keep it in mind p>
She withdrew her hand. Seeing him reach out again to grab her hand, she retreated a step, “One more thing I think I should make clear. It’s not that I’m anxious or afraid of Young Master approaching; rather, anyone would instinctively resist being close to someone they dislike. You understand that, don’t you, Young Master p>
Matthew Saxon’s expression darkened.
Did she mean not only that she didn’t like him but also detested him?
Scarlett Yates didn’t care whether he was happy or unhappy. After speaking, she walked past him directly, “Young Master, don’t worry; I’ll still act according to the contract. When we need to show affection in public, I’ll try to cooperate with you. But when away from prying eyes, we don’t have to force ourselves anymore. That way, you won’t be exhausted, and neither will I p>
Matthew Saxon watched as the tiny yet stubborn figure walked past him.
