Chapter 1278: What, Can’t Bear to Leave?

After finishing speaking, she opened the box, and sure enough, the contents were still steaming. The aroma of the wontons wafted out, carrying a fresh and subtle seafood scent. Smelling it, Scarlett Yates couldn’t help but recall the evening Matthew Saxon left; after they returned from Mystic Hideaway Temple, they had wontons then as well.

Thinking about the talisman paper she had asked for, Scarlett Yates hesitated for a few seconds but couldn’t help asking, "Matthew Saxon, do you still have that talisman paper? You know, the peace charm we asked for at Mystic Hideaway Temple when you were about to leave. My dad said that when he saw you, you were still holding it. You didn’t throw it away, did you?"

Scarlett Yates couldn’t help linking Matthew Saxon’s good fortune in surviving the plane crash with that talisman paper.

She felt that the peace charm was indeed useful.

"Peace charm?" Matthew Saxon furrowed his brows. At her reminder, he remembered there was such a talisman paper.

Back then, he had just woken up, and the first person he saw was Uncle Marshall. Uncle Marshall said that during his coma, he was always holding onto that talisman paper, so they all felt it was something very important and kept it for him.

Now, that talisman paper was resting in the cabinet beside him.

The seawater had soaked the incense bag, ruining the talisman paper inside. When Matthew Saxon took it out, there was nothing but a lump of paper pulp.

He initially intended to throw the incense bag away but hesitated at the last moment before discarding it into the trash can, and ultimately decided to keep it.

Even though he didn’t understand what particular value that ruined incense bag had, he simply couldn’t throw it away.

It turns out, the peace charm inside was something he had asked for with her.

Matthew Saxon finally started to understand some of the doubts he had in his heart.

It turns out, his reluctance to throw away that ruined incense bag was also related to her.

Even if he couldn’t remember these things, his subconscious still deemed it something very important.

"Was that charm something you asked for me?" he replied off-topic.

"Mm, it was the night before you left. We went to Mystic Hideaway Temple to ask for it. I feel it was quite effective; it helped you avoid a disaster. If you haven’t thrown it away, carry it with you from now on."

Scarlett Yates handed him the steaming wontons, but Matthew Saxon just glanced at them and shook his head, "I don’t have much appetite right now; you eat it yourself."

"..."

Scarlett Yates’s eyebrows twitched twice, feeling an urge to flip the table and walk away.

He was clearly teasing her.

"Didn’t you just say you were very hungry?" She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and maintained a stiff smile at the corners of her mouth.

"But now I don’t feel like eating anymore. Got a problem with that?" He smirked, the kind of smile that made one want to punch him.

"No... I don’t have a problem. As long as you’re happy." Scarlett Yates took another deep breath, even though she truly felt like giving this annoying guy a good thrashing, she had to maintain a soft and friendly demeanor and said, "Then what do you want to eat now, I’ll buy it for you."

Matthew Saxon shook his head, appearing uninterested. He covered his mouth lightly as he yawned lazily and said, "I don’t want to eat anything. Suddenly I just don’t have an appetite. I just want to sleep well. You can leave now."

"..."

"What’s the matter, you’re reluctant to leave? Just love me so madly, so passionate that you can’t bear to be apart even for a second?" His Peach Blossom Eyes narrowed as he laughed devilishly.

"..."

"I don’t like overly clingy women, even if we’re married now. Both spouses need personal space. I’ve already given you a full two hours of visiting time. Now, you should leave."
