Chapter 1285: 1286: I Still Want to Take Care of You for a Lifetime

What is Maxwell Saxon’s purpose in appearing at the Yates Family’s place? Noah Yates glanced up at her, slightly furrowing his brow, seemingly dissatisfied with her interrogative tone: "Didn’t you go to the hospital today to talk about divorce with Matthew Saxon? How did that go; did that kid agree to get a divorce with you?"

"Dad, you haven’t answered my question."

Scarlett Yates grew increasingly uneasy, the turmoil within her could not be stifled and showed through her eyes.

She nervously clenched her fists, bit her lip, turned around, and pointed a finger at Maxwell Saxon: "Why is he here, what is he doing here?"

Perhaps due to her mindset, she felt that Maxwell Saxon’s gaze at her carried a tinge of certainty.

And this sense of certainty made her even more anxious and fearful.

"Is this the attitude a daughter should have? Is this how you speak to your elders?" Noah Yates frowned and reproached lightly, "Mr. Saxon is my friend. He can come here anytime without any purpose. Can’t friends meet without any reason?"

Lies! Deceivers!

Scarlett Yates didn’t believe a word of it.

Whether it was Noah Yates or Maxwell Saxon, they both had a common trait: whatever they did was always with a certain intent.

Moreover, with their profound and suspicious personalities, how could they truly see each other as friends?

Whenever they gathered, there was only one reason — they had mutual interests that attracted each other.

The nonsense about friends just visiting, she would never believe.

Friends?

The word made Scarlett Yates feel ridiculous, could two people who valued interests above all truly make genuine friends?

"Since it’s a meeting between friends, then it’s none of my concern. You all chat slowly. I won’t stay and interrupt your conversation."

Scarlett Yates said this and then turned away.

"Stop." Noah Yates’ voice deepened and suddenly became a bit cold.

The image of a gentle father he maintained for less than ten minutes was immediately broken by Scarlett Yates’ irritation.

Listening to this cold voice, Scarlett Yates curled her lips: "Dad, do you have anything else? If there’s nothing special, I’ll go to sleep."

"Who said there’s nothing? Come back and sit properly. I have some business matters later, and you can accompany Mr. Saxon for me. You’re old acquaintances, it’s been a while, talk a bit more."

Has the fox’s tail finally revealed itself?

Scarlett Yates’ smile grew increasingly mocking as she slowly turned around, casting a sarcastic glance at Maxwell Saxon, and said with a chuckle, "Yes, Mr. Saxon and I are indeed old acquaintances. After all, in terms of family relations, I still have to call him elder brother. He’s a recognized good man, both a good big brother and a good son at home, caring for family and friends very well, and always taking good care of me, his sister-in-law."

Maxwell Saxon smiled slightly, unfazed by her ridicule, casually responding with a smile: "It’s right to care for those you care about. If given the chance, I wish I could take care of someone for a lifetime. Scarlett, do you think I’d have that chance?"

Scarlett Yates’ face darkened, she retorted with a cold smile: "That would depend on whether the person you care about also cares for you, and is willing to accept your care. If the other party doesn’t appreciate it and even sees it as a burden, Mr. Saxon’s goodwill turns into trouble."
