<h4>Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Going on Vacation Together</h4>


    Scarlett Yates looked at the venison in her bowl, her chopsticks trembling twice in her hand.


    Beside her, Matthew Saxon’s voice was so gentle it made her skin crawl, "Scarlett, you’re so thin, you should eat more meat."


    Scarlett’s hand holding the chopsticks shook twice more. Under a certain someone’s "gentle" gaze, she forced herself to eat it.


    Just as she finished, another portion of Dongpo pork was added to her bowl.


    The dish that Maxwell Saxon ced in front of her was pushed aside by Matthew Saxon.


    Matthew looked up, a hint of coldness passing through his jet-ck eyes, "Big brother, I remember this dish is Dad’s favorite, you put it in the wrong ce."


    The two exchanged a look for a moment, and Maxwell smiled, "Oh, I must have remembered wrong. Matthew, thank you for the reminder."


    Matthew expertly cut a piece of steak, his lips curling with a mocking smirk as he turned to Roy Saxon and jested, "Big brother has been so busy with work that his memory has gotten worse. Dad, shouldn’t you give him a break?"


    Roy red at him, "Your big brother has his own ns, you don’t need to worry. An international cooperation deal needs to be discussed in a few days, and apany executive must go in person. I’m assigning it to you, and Scarlett will apany you. You can use this opportunity to take a vacation."


    "What?!" Scarlett Yates and Matthew Saxon spoke out simultaneously, their expressions changing.


    Roy wiped his lips and said in a strong, unquestionable tone, "You’ll set off in a week. I’ve had everything arranged."


    Matthew didn’t refuse, but his expression was not good, "Dad, I’m going for work, why bring Scarlett along?"


    Roy smiled, "This trip has plenty of time, there’s no rush, you should rx well besides working. The scenery in Z Country is nice, take Scarlett and enjoy yourselves."


    "Uncle, I don’t want to go." Caught off guard by Roy’s sudden announcement, Scarlett lost her appetite for the delicacies.


    Roy frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, "You don’t want to go with Matthew?"


    "I..." Scarlett bit her lip, her mind racing, and after a while, she came up with an old, clichéd excuse, "I’m afraid I might not limate well, besides, I want to stay and look after Uncle."


    Roy looked at Scarlett with gentle and loving eyes, using a rare tender tone, "Z Country has a nice climate, neither too hot nor too cold. You’ll adapt just fine, and Dr. Chen will be going with you, so just have fun."


    "But, at the hospital..."


    Roy didn’t give her any chance to refuse,ughing, "You can stay as long as you want, I’ve informed the dean."


    "But, I..." For a moment, she couldn’t find a reason to refuse, but she really didn’t want to go abroad on vacation with Matthew Saxon.


    Her reluctance was so apparent that even a blind person could see it.


    Matthew Saxon couldn’t help but darken his face, a nameless anger rising in his heart.


    Suddenly, he grabbed Scarlett’s hand, sweeping away his previous displeasure, and smiled, "Scarlett, Dad has nned all this for us so considerately, you shouldn’t keep declining. I know you’re worried about affecting my work, but if you’re not by my side, I’m more likely to be distracted."


    The goosebumps that had just subsided on Scarlett’s skin reappeared.


    A certain someone seemed very adept and enthusiastic about this kind of charade, giving a slight smile,pletely indifferent to how cheesy his words sounded, "This trip willst over ten days, how could I bear to leave you alone at home?"
