Otherwise, how could you say it so smoothly?
"Scarlett Yates, has anyone ever told you something?" Matthew Saxon said with a serious face, "When a man is confessing and making promises to you so earnestly and affectionately, your doubts can make him feel a severe sense of defeat."
Scarlett burst out laughing: "I don't think so."
"Now you know, don't you?" He gently tapped her nose, pretending to be angry, "Can't you act touched and happy, and praise me a little more? You should know, this is the first time I've said such corny things; aren't you going to encourage me with some action?"
Oh, he's fishing for a reward.
Given that his earlier words made her feel quite comfortable, Scarlett decided to give him a little reward as he requested. She blinked and asked, "What reward do you want?"
Matthew pressed his lips together without saying a word, only looking deeply at her... lips.
Scarlett's face warmed up, and she coughed lightly, saying, "Close your eyes first."
