Chapter 288
There was no escape, she had to face it.
Scarlett couldn’t understand the meaning behind his words, she blinked curiously and lifted her head slightly, “What do you mean p>
But there was no need for Matthew Saxon to tell her, Scarlett soon found out.
Her gaze followed Knox Simmons and turned to look at the striking couple not far away.
The person she had been trying to avoid appeared right in front of her eyes.
He was carefully supporting another woman, leaning down and smiling gently as he spoke to her, displaying an expression as soft as water.
That tenderness was something Scarlett had never seen before.
With eyes full of indulgence and compassion, it seemed as though they could melt anything in the world, a tenderness so overwhelming that she almost thought she had mistaken a person or was hallucinating.
Was that Matthew Saxon?
Was the man who looked somewhat unfamiliar the Matthew Saxon she knew?
The thin morning light spread over the coffee-colored carpet and fell upon his smiling lips.
On that handsome face, those clear and deep eyes revealed a gentle glow she had never seen before, as if an entire ray of sunshine had fallen into his eyes, making them so warm.
Beside him, Alice Green lifted her pale face, focusing intently on him.
Every word Matthew Saxon said, she would return with a soft smile, looking at him with a gaze full of fascination and dependence.

The two chatted softly as they walked, occasionally gazing at each other, immersed in their world, seemingly indifferent to everything around them.
Thus, even while standing face to face, Matthew Saxon never glanced towards Scarlett.
All his attention was focused on Alice Green.
A sudden ache in her heart emerged.
That familiar and painful sting resurface again.
Scarlett didn’t understand why she remained standing there.
She wanted to leave immediately, to get away from this awkward and uncomfortable place.
But she still stood there without moving.
Her legs felt heavy and numb, unable to take a step, almost like they were no longer hers.
That timid and cowardly part of her stared wide-eyed, unmoved, gazing fixedly ahead at the man who had attempted to kiss her last night, and now was being intimately held by another woman.
Was he truly just toying with her?
All those sweet words, all that affection, was so fake it couldn’t stand up to scrutiny.
“Matthew Alice Green first noticed her and Knox Simmons.
She raised her pale and delicate face, a hint of surprise flashed in her watery eyes, her expression changed suddenly, and she widened her eyes to look at her, then turned to Knox Simmons with confusion.
She tugged at Matthew Saxon’s arm, her voice hoarse and weak, seemingly not fully recovered, “Miss Yates and Knox are here p>
