Chapter 1107: You Dislike Me
"Scarlett, if we continue to distrust each other like this, there will only be more misunderstandings in the future."His large hand slowly slid down from her head to her face, turning to hold her face; his eyes looked deeply down, dragging her into the deep sea within them that could drown anyone: "Promise me, Scarlett."
Scarlett hesitated.
With hesitation written all over her face, she glanced at Matthew Saxon, didn’t say a word, lowered her eyes and hung her head, as if weighing whether or not she should agree to him.
Could she truly and completely trust him?
Matthew did not rush her, but as he watched her hesitate, he felt a bit disappointed inside.
She still hadn’t reached the point where she could trust him unconditionally.
He knew very well that they hadn’t been together long enough; even if they both had feelings for each other, the foundation of their relationship was still not solid.
These things needed time to establish.
Scarlett’s silence didn’t last long; not even a minute passed before she lifted her head again.
Looking at the face in front of her that was handsome to the point of being a demon, Scarlett’s gaze was complicated, as if she was still entangled.
Matthew chuckled lightly, his deep voice carrying a hint of allure: "Have you thought it over? Tell me your decision, will you trust me wholeheartedly?"
Scarlett blinked and said in a very soft voice: "Matthew Saxon, I really have never liked Maxwell Saxon."
"I know, last night was all my fault. I was overwhelmed by jealousy, lost my mind, and said so many hurtful things, even hurting you."
Now, he was filled with regret.
But where in the world can you find a cure for regret? Time cannot be reversed, and now he can only do his best to make amends for the mistakes he made.
Scarlett bit her lip, her voice choked up: "From now on, don’t ever suspect that there’s anything between him and me. It’s really over the line to accuse me so offhandedly."
"Yes, I was out of line. I’ll never do it again." He quickly acknowledged his mistake, his attitude genuine and sincere. After admitting his wrongdoing, he immediately promised her.
Scarlett sniffled, her voice raspy and filled with more sobs: "You were so harsh on me, washing me for two hours last night with such force. The bath sponge scratching my skin really hurt."
Even now, her whole body was still sore.
Hands hurt, body hurt, eyes hurt, and her heart felt as if countless ants were biting it, causing tears to spill uncontrollably from her eyes.
So much bottled-up feelings, held back for so long, at this moment, all her grievances, sadness, disappointment, bewilderment turned into scalding hot tears and then one by one, fell from her eyes.
One after another, more and more...
Soon, her cheeks were wet, and those hot tears rolled onto Matthew Saxon’s hand, as if crashing into his heart simultaneously. Her crying made Matthew’s heart feel as if it, too, was being bitten by ants.
Frustration, regret, guilt, compassion, all kinds of emotions mixed together, in the end synthesizing into two words.
Heartache.
Her complexion was already poor, her face pale with no trace of blood, but her eyes were reddened, her nose reddened too, lips forming a pitiful curve.
This pitiful look expressed all her emotions even if she didn’t utter a single word.
She fixed her tearful eyes, lips tightly pressed, chin slightly raised and eyebrows furrowed high with a touch of small defiance.
