Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575: Can We Only Be Friends?

"I know, you only see me as a friend." He curved his lips into a bitter smile and spoke the rest of her words aloud.

"I’m sorry." She didn’t know why she needed to apologize, but seeing Knox Simmons with a hurt expression made guilt rise in her heart.

"You don’t need to apologize to me, it’s just that you don’t like me, and there’s nothing you’re sorry about." Knox blinked, tears clinging to his eyelashes, which were thicker and longer than girls’.

Scarlett Yates really didn’t like men who cried easily.

But Knox Simmons’s tears only deepened her sense of guilt.

She felt as if she had done something that deeply betrayed him and bullied him harshly.

"Knox Simmons, I don’t dislike you, I just..."

Of course, she liked him; being friends with Knox Simmons was something that brought her joy. How could she not like that?

It’s just that the kind of affection he wanted, she couldn’t give him.

"Scarlett, you don’t have to say it; I understand." Knox curved his lips into a smile, his eyes full of bitterness, his voice somber, "I never really hoped for anything more, as long as you don’t hate me, that’s enough."

"How could I hate you?"

Scarlett Yates walked back, sat down beside the bed, lowered her head, and looked at him earnestly: "I’ve never hated you, and if possible, I hope we can always be friends."

She really didn’t want to lose a good friend because of these matters.

Maybe she’s being a bit greedy.

She didn’t want to accept Knox Simmons, but she also didn’t want to lose him.

However, how can there be so many perfect solutions in this world?

She had hurt him just by rejecting him.

"Only friends?" Knox Simmons lifted his slightly reddened Peach Blossom Eyes, his expression somber, "Scarlett, do I really have no chance at all?"

"Knox Simmons..." Scarlett Yates had a difficult expression on her face, biting her lip, unable to bear saying anything more to hurt him.

She had never felt any romantic feelings towards him.

In her heart, a certain place was already filled with someone else, leaving no room for anyone else.

"Forget it, pretend I never asked."

The expression on her face already said it all.

Did he not understand the answer, whether she told him or not?

Her eyes only showed that dazzling light when she saw Matthew Saxon.

He knew everything, understood everything, yet still felt sad.

For so many years, he had indulged in this world, recklessly squandered, and was never short of women.

Those women were either charming, innocent, alluring, or sweet; as long as he wanted, there would be a bunch of women eagerly offering themselves.

On the surface, he treated each girl very well.

Any woman who had been with him would feel she was genuinely liked by him.

In the world of romance, the Simmons Family’s Young Master’s gentleness and romance were legendary.

He’s spent a fortune on women countless times.

So, being Knox Simmons’s lover, even if only for a day, was an extreme enjoyment.

This man had a charming and beautiful face, a prestigious status, always gentle and caring towards his partners, generous in spending, and certain skills on the bed were exceptional.

All of these qualities, even possessing just one, would be enough to attract women, but he had them all, much desired by most men.
