Chapter 1402: I’ll Let You Off for Now

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: I’ll Let You Off for Now

Her legs were already numb, her whole body stiffened, her face rigid, hands stiff, legs stiff, and fingers stiff too.

She was so cold she was losing feeling.

When Knox Simmons hugged her, her body instinctively leaned towards him, nestled warmly in his arms, and she never wanted to leave.

His embrace was so warm it made her want to cry.

For the first time, Scarlett Yates felt Knox Simmons’s fragrance smelled so good.

This warm, fragrant embrace also made her feel so reliable for the first time, leaning against his warm chest, she felt a hint of reliance on Knox Simmons for the first time.

Although Scarlett was freezing, her mind was still clear.

Knox Simmons shouldn’t have arrived so quickly.

Based on her estimation, she still had at least half an hour to wait.

But he appeared so much earlier than expected; it’s easy to imagine how fast he was driving.

Her eyes turned sore, and she couldn’t help but tear up, raising her head to look at Knox Simmons’s sleek, handsome chin, she choked up softly, "Knox Simmons, didn’t you promise me you would drive slowly?"

In such terrible weather, with snow and late into the night, the danger of driving so fast is foreseeable.

If not to pick her up quickly, why would he take this risk?

"I drove slow enough." Hearing her strange tone, Knox Simmons lowered his head, saw her eyes red with tears, paused for a moment, and reached to wipe her tears from the corner of her eye, smiling teasingly, "Why are you crying? Are you so moved that you think I’m exceptionally handsome and fell in love with me in an instant?"

His charming, mischievous face displayed a usual playful smile, lips slightly tilted, eyes half-squinting, and as he joked, he threw a flirtatious wink her way, looking completely impish.

In the past, Scarlett Yates disliked men who seemed unserious all the time, but now, as Knox Simmons’s carefree face appeared before her again, Scarlett felt warmth and closeness instead.

She tugged at her stiff lips, struggled to produce a smile, "Yeah right, for me to fall in love with you in an instant, you’d at least need to clean up before coming over, look at you now, wearing pajamas and slippers, with a head like a bird’s nest, not to mention eye gunk, do you think I could fall in love with such a man in an instant?"

Although she complained about Knox Simmons, as she spoke, a faint smile surfaced in her eyes, and her eyes grew moist again.

He didn’t even change his clothes before coming over, showing how much he worried about her.

Being cared for like this, her heart was already warmed to the core.

"Eye gunk?" Knox Simmons’s self-assured and charming smile froze on his face, his expression instantly changed, and he hurriedly reached out to wipe the corner of his eye.

After a moment of wiping, his expression changed again, he furrowed his brow, deliberately putting on a fierce look, feigning anger, "Hmm, dare to fool me? Little liar, do you know the consequences of deceiving the Young Master?"

As he spoke, he reached out to pinch her neck.

His hand landed on her slender, fair neck, yet he couldn’t bear to pinch it truly, even pretending to do so, stopping just before touching her neck, emitting two soft huffs from his nose, "Seeing you look so pitiful now, I won’t deal with you for the time being, I’ll remember this account, lest someone says I’m taking advantage of the weak."
