Chapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Don’t Tell Him Where I Am

After truly falling in love with someone, how could it be so easy to just pick up and let go?

Isn’t it the same with her feelings for Matthew Saxon?

Even though she finds him unbearably annoying, she still likes him, still constantly thinks about him.

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy and depressing.

Knox Simmons tried to find a topic to change the mood: "Scarlett, are you hungry? Let’s go out for dinner."

Scarlett Yates slowly lifted her head and looked at him: "Do you have something that requires you to go back immediately? If you have something to do, you can go back. I can take care of myself."

In fact, she had heard all of the conversation Knox had while on the phone just now.

If her guess was right, the person searching for her from the Simmons Family should be Matthew Saxon.

She truly didn’t understand why Matthew Saxon needed to look for her.

If he didn’t care about her, why do things that could easily lead to misunderstandings?

His actions made her mistakenly believe he still cared about her.

But the truth? The truth was he could casually put her in an unbearably embarrassing situation for other women.

The events of last night felt like he slapped her hard in front of that woman, making her feel a deep embarrassment and sorrow.

"Scarlett, about earlier..." Knox paused, his brows slightly furrowed, "My brother said Matthew went to the Simmons house, do you want to come back with me?"

Knox waited nervously for her reply, feeling conflicted.

If he were more selfish, he wouldn’t want Scarlett Yates to return to the Simmons house with him.

If she agreed, it would mean she was willing to return to Matthew Saxon’s side again. If they reconciled, where would that leave Knox?

Yet if she didn’t want to, staying outside for a day or two might be fine, but over time, it wouldn’t be a solution.

She hadn’t divorced Matthew Saxon; she was still someone else’s wife. She couldn’t just never return, regardless of their issues; ultimately, they had to face them directly.

And the main reason for Knox’s inner conflict was that Matthew Saxon had amnesia.

Initially, he wasn’t aware of this, which made him find Matthew Saxon’s actions unbelievably annoying and hateful.

But now he knows the whole truth—that Matthew’s abnormal behavior is all due to forgetting Scarlett Yates—can he still firmly oppose them being together?

According to Scarlett Yates, Matthew Saxon’s amnesia is only temporary. He might remember someday. If he forcibly breaks them apart now, isn’t he just taking advantage of the situation?

He couldn’t bring himself to do such a low thing.

After much consideration, Knox decided not to express any opinions for the time being and to leave the decision to Scarlett Yates. If she agreed to go back, he’d take her; if she didn’t want to, he wouldn’t say more.

Scarlett Yates didn’t hesitate long. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head: "I don’t want to go back now, Knox. If he asks you, don’t tell him where I am."

She knew there was no meaning in continuously avoiding; sooner or later, she had to face what needed to be faced.

But for now, she just wanted to curl up in her shell and be alone.

Whether it’s for a day or an hour, at least in that moment, she could calm down and think through some issues.

Knox nodded, reached out to pat her head, and curved a warm smile at the corner of his lips: "Alright, Scarlett, whatever you say. If you don’t want to see him, then you don’t have to. Just settle down here peacefully, and as long as you don’t agree, I won’t reveal the address to him."
