Chapter 274

She didn’t know why she was telling these things to Knox Simmons.

Even though they were now recognized as siblings, they weren’t familiar with each other.

Essentially, they were just a bit better than strangers, yet she was telling her secrets to this playboy.

Perhaps, these matters had weighed on her heart for too long.

Too heavy, too stifling.

She couldn’t bear it anymore and desperately needed someone to confide in. Who that person was didn’t matter; it could be Knox Simmons, or even a stranger.

“He said that?” Knox Simmons raised the corner of his eye, a hint of surprise on his face.

Scarlett Yates nodded.

Matthew Saxon did say that.

However, the reason he accepted her wasn’t as she had told; she had deceived Knox Simmons.

Knox Simmons curled his lips into a smile, “Interesting. I thought that guy would rebel like I did and run away from home p>

Scarlett Yates smiled, seemingly recalling something, her gaze dimming for a moment as she fell silent.

Knox Simmons looked at her expression, smiling as he leaned forward, his Peach Blossom Eyes fixed on her, “Scarlett, be honest with me, have you fallen for that guy p>

Scarlett Yates’s hand trembled, nearly knocking over the glass of juice in front of her.

Her heart throbbed twice, pretending to adjust the juice glass, she lowered her head to compose herself, before slowly raising her chin and firmly denying, “No p>

“That’s good.” Knox Simmons’s eyes flickered, and he leaned back as if he believed her words.

He drank the red wine in his glass slowly, his slender fair fingers lightly gliding over the crystal glass, fingers like jade, reflecting the brilliant transparency of the crystal, like a pleasing picture.

His lips, tempting as peach color, slowly curled into a meaningful smile, staring at Scarlett Yates for a few more seconds, he then spoke in an unhurried, lukewarm tone, “That guy is heartless, his eyes only see that woman named Alice Green. Anyone who falls in love with him is unlucky p>

“Once that woman with the surname Green marries into the Saxon Family, I’m afraid she won’t have any peaceful days p>

“Scarlett, you are now my sister, Knox Simmons, I can’t neglect you. You and Matthew were never emotionally involved when you got together. If you don’t care who he has in his heart, then you can marry him and be a superficially glorious Young Madam. But if you want both marriage and emotion, you’ll only be disappointed p>

“Before the marriage is truly settled, you still have time to back out. You need to think clearly about whether you can accept a man who doesn’t love you p>

He spoke seriously, and his expression was serious too.

Clearly, he genuinely cared for her.

Scarlett Yates found that Knox Simmons, when he wasn’t being flippant, wasn’t so annoying after all.

He spoke openly about the relationship between Matthew Saxon and Alice Green, perhaps he also noticed that she had already known about it.

“He really loves Alice Green?” On a whimsical impulse, she asked such a question.

Such a pointless question.

“You could say that p>

Knox Simmons chuckled, as if savoring the taste of wine in the glass, his eyes narrowed, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face, “At least for as long as I’ve known him, the only person he truly cares for is that woman. But ironically, that woman is soon to become his sister-in-law p>

“What does that mean p>

Knox Simmons’s smile gradually became somewhat malicious, “With the two living under the same roof in the future, always crossing paths, Scarlett, you better keep an eye on Matthew, that woman has plenty of tricks up her sleeve p>
