<h4>Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Are you here to hold me ountable?</h4>


    "Hearing that Young Master’s health had issues, they got scared and ran away. So, those old acquaintances of yours are actually your old mes?" She looked at him with innocent eyes, and her tone was also very innocent, as if she was genuinely confused about this matter, and couldn’t help but ask him.


    Matthew Saxon’s slender eyes narrowed slightly, "Scarlett, why don’t you like them?"


    "Who said I don’t like them?" Scarlett Yates finally stopped her repetitive hand movement.


    "Oh? If you don’t dislike them, then why did you sprinkle chili like it costs nothing?" He remembered specifically telling her that thosedies couldn’t handle spicy food.


    She blinked, gave a long ’oh,’ then said calmly, "Operational error, my hand slipped, and I added a bit too much."


    "A bit too much? It looked to me like you poured the whole bottle of chili on it."


    "So, Young Master, are you here to call me out?"


    Scarlett Yates smiled, not afraid of him finding fault, "Alright, I scared away your old acquaintances. So, what does Young Master n to do to punish me?"


    "Punish?" Matthew tilted his head slightly, thought seriously, and then smirked, "I’ll punish you by making you have a meal with me."


    He never really had an interest in barbecue.


    It’s unhealthy, not very sanitary, and what’s cooked on charcoal is even dirtier.


    The reason he suggested it was just to tease her, seeing her busy with him seemed like an amusing thing.


    "Have a meal with you?" Scarlett Yates never expected such a "punishment."


    Can this even be called punishment?


    It’s exactly what aligns with her current wishes.


    She was already starving to the point of seeing stars.


    She looked at him, bewildered, fearing that she had misheard.


    He’s not angry or furious?


    Other women said he was incapable in that aspect. Wouldn’t any man be unable to tolerate being said like that?


    Matthew raised an eyebrow, "Don’t want to go?"


    It was as if she had forgotten her deep dissatisfaction and anger towards him just moments ago, she immediately nodded eagerly, continuously saying, "Go, go, I’ll go."


    As long as she can fill her stomach immediately, what is pride, what is dignity, she no longer cared.


    She nodded her head quickly and heavily, her nodding action was like a pecking chick, afraid that if she agreed toote, he would change his mind, this reaction amused Matthew Saxon.


    He couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, his lips curling into an alluring and charming arc, "What do you feel like eating?"


    He asked her in a very gentlemanly and gentle tone.


    Such a friendly and gentle attitude made Scarlett Yates feel surprised once again.


    She widened her eyes a bit, looking at him curiously, puzzled, and bewildered.


    She wasn’t good at hiding her thoughts, whatever she was thinking in her heart easily showed on her face.


    So, Matthew Saxon immediately guessed her current thoughts from her little face full of confusion and surprise.


    "Are you wondering if I’ve taken the wrong medicine or been hit by something, causing brain malfunction?" He held a shallow smile, with a trace of amusement in his narrow eyes, lowering his head to look at her.


    Scarlett Yates shivered, her eyes widened further in shock.


    This terrifying man...


    Every time she thought something bad about him in her heart, he would guess it.
