Chapter 586
Just one glance, and it was as if he saw a stranger, retracting his cold gaze.
Her heart felt as if pierced by needles.
A trace of a sarcastic yet sorrowful smile tugged at her lips.
If he truly cared so little, why did he come looking for her after the breakup, saying so many caring things, pretending to care?
She didn’t understand and didn’t want to think deeply about it.
Upon seeing Matthew Saxon and Pearl Simmons, Maxwell Saxon was taken aback for a few seconds, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
But his loss of composure lasted only a few seconds, and then a thin smile appeared on his lips: “It’s you two, just in time. Scarlett was just saying there are too few people; it’s not lively enough p>
“Oh? So, Brother doesn’t mind if Pearl and I join you?” Matthew Saxon walked over leisurely, pulled out a chair, and turned to Pearl Simmons: “Ladies first p>
Pearl Simmons’s seat was next to Scarlett Yates.
After Pearl Simmons sat down, Matthew Saxon chose the seat next to Maxwell Saxon.
Without waiting for Maxwell Saxon to greet him, he called over the server who had opened the door for them: “Bring a ginseng jujube soup for this lady next to me p>
“Yes, Young Master Matthew, please wait a moment p>
“Wait a minute.” Matthew Saxon stopped the server about to leave, ordered seven or eight more dishes, and only then seemed barely satisfied enough to let the person go.
Scarlett Yates didn’t know what those seven or eight dishes were, but just hearing the names made them seem particularly expensive.
Matthew Saxon specifically ordered a beauty-enhancing soup for Pearl Simmons.
This wasn’t particularly unusual, but it was rare for him to be so considerate and caring to someone.
Indeed, Pearl Simmons held a different significance in his heart.
His treatment of her was clearly different from that of other women.
Scarlett Yates unconsciously clenched her fists tighter.
“Elder brother seems quite free these days, not working overtime as usual. I even thought he’d take the opportunity to spend time with Miss Green, but it turns out he’s with Scarlett instead.” At this, Matthew Saxon raised an eyebrow and glanced at Scarlett Yates before smiling and continuing, “When Scarlett lived with the Saxon Family, they hardly spoke, but now that she’s left, their relationship seems much improved p>
Maxwell Saxon smiled lightly and said casually: “You and Pearl are the same, aren’t you? You used to meet so rarely, but now you’re together every other day. I heard Old Master Douglas is very pleased with Pearl and is considering a marriage alliance between the two families. Seeing you with Pearl, he should be quite delighted p>
Scarlett Yates instinctively looked at Matthew Saxon.
She wanted to hear how Matthew Saxon would respond.
From the moment she saw him and Pearl Simmons together, she wanted to know if they were really together.
If she heard it from his mouth, then she wouldn’t overthink anymore.
At this moment, her mind uncontrollably kept speculating about the relationship between him and Pearl Simmons, getting more and more chaotic.
The bitterness and jealousy surging in her heart grew stronger, to the point she wanted to leave immediately. She didn’t want to see him anymore, nor did she want to see him with Pearl Simmons.
“Speaking of which, elder brother’s wedding with Miss Green should also be soon p>
“If I remember correctly, the date set by Brother is the end of this month. Counting the days, there’s only half a month left, yet Brother hasn’t even decided on the wedding venue. This isn’t like his usual way of doing things, is it?” Matthew Saxon squinted his long, narrow eyes slightly, smiling as he touched his chin.
