Chapter 298
The bright sunshine was shining on her, making her feel lazy and lethargic.
Scarlett Yates yawned again.
She had lost count of how many times she had yawned; the scent of flowers wafted into her nose, warmed by the sun, making the sensation all the more sleepy.
If it weren’t for the constant chatter around her, she thought she would have already fallen asleep.
“Scarlett, what do you think of this place p>
“Hmm, it’s nice p>
“Do you like it p>
“Uh-huh p>
“Then, why don’t we stay on this island for a few more days p>
Knox Simmons occasionally turned his head to glance at the drowsy individual beside him, his squinted Peach Blossom Eyes suddenly gleamed.
“There are plenty of fun places on this island that can’t be explored in just one day; we should stay here for about four or five days, and I’ll make sure you have a good time so that all your bad moods vanish into thin air p>
He admitted that bringing Scarlett Yates to the island was not out of pure intentions.
After meeting her in the bar that night, but being forced to leave due to an accident, he had been itching with anticipation.
The duck he aimed for slipped away before he could catch it, which felt almost as disappointing as losing something right at your fingertips.
Knox Simmons never missed his prey.
And right now was the perfect opportunity.
Due to his previous good behavior, this little girl had lowered her guard against him a bit, increasing her trust; anything he wanted to do would be less difficult now.
When it comes to deceit and trickery, the method used doesn’t matter, as long as the result is what he desires.
If he still couldn’t win over this little girl, Knox Simmons would have to write his name backward.
“You and me, staying on the island for four or five days p>
Scarlett Yates’s drowsy eyes widened a bit, and she suddenly perked up, turning to face Knox Simmons and furrowing her eyebrows suspiciously, “You’ve got some wicked intent, don’t you p>
Even though she had accepted Knox Simmons as her brother, Scarlett Yates hadn’t forgotten that his initial motive for approaching her wasn’t pure.
Even him wanting to take her on as a sister had ulterior motives.
After going through some events, she indeed didn’t dislike him as much, but she hadn’t completely lowered her guard.
The moment Knox Simmons’s little scheme was revealed, Scarlett Yates immediately sensed a hint of conspiracy, her sleepiness was startled away by three parts.
“Scarlett, look at what you’re saying; I’m your brother, we’re siblings, how could I be plotting anything against you?” Having his thoughts guessed right off, Knox Simmons felt a sudden rush of guilt, not daring to turn his face to Scarlett Yates.
He coughed lightly a couple of times, seemingly fixated on the water, muttering complaints under his breath, “How can you think of your brother so terribly? Am I that kind of person? I only noticed you were in a bad mood and thought you could stay here a few more days to have fun; how can you doubt my sincerity p>
This little girl has a stronger sense of defense than he anticipated, he had assumed that after playing the warm-hearted brother last night and this morning, she would be moved to trust him completely.
Knox Simmons regretted it a bit.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have been so hasty.
It’s hard enough getting her on his boat; what if he frightened her away?
Gaining her trust would then be harder than reaching the heavens.
Feeling pangs of dissatisfaction, his mind quickly turned, trying to figure out how to dissolve her suspicions without showing a trace.
“Whether you’re that kind of person or not, that’s indeed hard to say.” Scarlett Yates gave him no face at all, yawning lazily, slowly sitting up, stretching, and then leisurely walking over to another fishing rod that stood nearby.
