Chapter 710
“Even if you don’t need it, I still have to apologize.” She bit her lip, her expression stiff and unnatural.
“What do you mean by that?” His phoenix eyes narrowed, the gaze suddenly cold.
“When I asked to break up with you, I didn’t know about Alexis Denton, Matthew Saxon. The problem between us isn’t about Alexis Denton.” She endured the cold air above her head, biting her lip, “So, whether I misunderstood you or not, my feelings won’t change p>
Matthew Saxon’s face finally turned cold: “You still refuse to come back to me p>
She pulled her stiff lips, struggling to speak: “I’m sorry p>
“Damn it, I don’t want to hear this sorry. What do you think I’ve been doing all this for? Just to make you believe me, to clear the misunderstanding about me p>
“I’m sorry, Young Master’s favor for a small person like me is much appreciated, but I really can’t accept it. Young Master, just think of it as choosing the wrong person p>
“Scarlett Yates, what are you hesitating about?” Matthew Saxon’s eyes burned as he forcefully gripped her frail shoulders, shaking her, “Speak out, whatever you can’t solve, I can help you with it p>
Scarlett Yates hung her head, not daring to look at him, her lips bleeding from being bitten: “No special reason, I just don’t like you. I also tried dating you, thinking that if someone new came into my life, I could quickly forget him and not yearn for him anymore, but I still can’t do it p>
She clenched her fists, licking away the blood on her lips, slowly straightening her stiff neck, raising her chin: “I still can’t forget him, I can’t even forget him in my dreams, I don’t want to deceive myself anymore p>
“What did you say?” Matthew Saxon’s hand on her shoulder froze, stunned, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He looked at Scarlett Yates as if she were an incredible monster.
“I know you are a very proud person, which is why I have been reluctant to tell you the real reason, because once I say it, it will hit your strong self-esteem hard. But now it seems that clarifying things might be better p>
The nails dug into her tender palms.
She took a deep breath, raising her face with a stiff smile: “I can’t forget Henry Dales p>
“From the moment I saw him, I liked him. More than three years have passed, and my feelings for him have never changed. I tried to like you, but not liking you is just not liking you. I’m sorry, I know you’ll be angry hearing this, but you forced me to say it p>
“Young Master, you have excellent qualifications, wealthy and powerful, good-looking, and generous with women. You have many qualities that attract the opposite sex. I also thought, being with a man like you would give me face, and I wouldn’t have to work hard on my own. In many ways, there’s no downside, so why not p>
She paused here, her lips curving into an apologetic smile: “But after trying it for a while, I found I really can’t accept you. Although in most women’s eyes you’re great, in my eyes, you can’t compare to Henry Dales at all p>
“In terms of temperament, character, integrity, sense of responsibility, ambition, you can’t match him in any area p>
