<h4>Chapter 658: Chapter 658: I Have Good News</h4>


    When the topic of the hot pot came up, he couldn’t help but frown.


    "No need." Scarlett Yates kept her head down and took a sip of soup, looking rather listless, "Maybe I’m just a bit tired after a full day of work, so I don’t have much of an appetite; it’s all the same regardless of what I eat."


    Matthew Saxon looked at her thoughtfully.


    How could he not know the real reason for her poor appetite?


    She just didn’t want to have dinner with him, that’s all.


    "Then eat a bit more, fill up, and I’ll take you home when you’re done."


    Scarlett nodded absentmindedly.


    This meal was not enjoyable.


    Scarlett kept her head down, tackling the food on her te, never once raising her head to look at Matthew Saxon.


    Anyone observing their interaction would find the atmosphere strange.


    Both sat at the same table, each eating their own meal, with nomunication from start to finish.


    Even outsiders watching would feel embarrassed for them, not knowing what the people involved were thinking.


    In such an atmosphere, Matthew Saxon didn’t have much of an appetite either; he ate a few bites and couldn’t eat anymore.


    He saw Scarlett tearing the muffin into small pieces and tossing them on her te without eating them, as if just passing time.


    Does being with him really make her that miserable?


    He felt ufortable inside, and no matter how good his mood was, it becameckluster.


    "If you don’t feel like eating, don’t force yourself. I’ll take you back." He dropped his napkin, squinted slightly, and hid the sadness in his eyes.


    Scarlett threw the half-torn muffin onto the te, looked up, and asked in confusion, "Are you full?"


    Matthew Saxon had hardly eaten anything.


    The two of them, a table full of dishes, had not even finished a third of it, which was an unusual waste.


    Matthew Saxon had a faint smile on his lips and looked at her calmly, "Like you, I don’t have much of an appetite either."


    Although he said this in a normal tone, Scarlett still detected a hint of displeasure.


    Eating with someone who clearly doesn’t want to be there would make anyone lose their appetite.


    Scarlett was silent for a moment, then reached for her bag: "Let’s go back then."


    She had been waiting for him to say they would go back.


    As soon as she heard him say they were leaving, she immediately picked up her bag.


    She seemed so eager, as if she couldn’t wait to leave him. Seeing her like this, Matthew Saxon’s expression darkened.


    But he tried hard to suppress his anger.


    Having found time from his busy schedule toe over, he didn’t want it to end unpleasantly again.


    He was about to call the waiter to settle the bill, when suddenly, the sharp ttering of high heels approached him, the footsteps a bit hurried.


    A strong scent of perfume wafted over.


    "Matthew." A woman’s voice drifted over from behind.


    The footsteps came closer, and as Scarlett turned her head, she saw a sh of bright red nearing.


    "Matthew, I have good news to tell you."


    The woman’s striking face became clear in Scarlett’s eyes.


    The red tight-fitting dress perfectly highlighted the woman’s fine figure, making her skin seem as creamy as jade.


    Her delicate and mboyant face was clearly reflected in Scarlett’s eyes.


    It was Alexis Denton.


    The Alexis Denton who oozed amanding presence, eerily simr to Rosie Wood in some ways.


    As she passed by Scarlett, Alexis Denton reflexively raised her chin, giving her a sidelong nce like a queen, before walking to Matthew Saxon’s side, her face full of delight, wearing matching high heels.
