Chapter 1352: I Understand My Place
"But you also know, she’s no longer here, so asking these questions doesn’t really mean anything. The reality is, I married you."
He looked at her, his gaze calm and indifferent, not at all like he was looking at the woman closest to him: "You women always like asking these meaningless questions. Is the answer really that important?"
So, she was truly not worth as much as a little girl who had been dead for over ten years.
At this moment, Scarlett Yates actually felt she envied Little Tail, with a tinge of jealousy.
A little girl who had occupied an important place in Matthew Saxon’s heart for over ten years was still more important than her, a living person, wasn’t she?
She felt as if she was asking for humiliation.
Offering an opportunity to insult her with her own hands and then presenting it to Matthew Saxon.
Now, she got what she wished for.
His attitude was clear, leaving no room for doubt.
He had just said, no woman could compare with Little Tail, including her so-called wife.
"This answer may mean nothing to you, but it’s very important to me."
After a long period of silence, Scarlett Yates slowly lifted her head, a forced smile appearing at the corner of her lips as her voice grew drier: "At least I understand my place."
Matthew Saxon was puzzled, frowning: "What do you mean by this? Little Tail met with an accident because of my negligence, keeping her in my heart is my only way to commemorate her. If I just forget her, would you think I was heartless and unfeeling?"
Scarlett Yates smiled slightly, shaking her head: "I have no right to ask you to forget her, nor can I control your mind. It’s your freedom."
"But you are angry." Matthew Saxon stared closely at her, "Are you upset that I would divorce you because of Little Tail?"
Before Scarlett Yates spoke, he continued: "Scarlett Yates, Little Tail has already left this world. Do you understand what I mean?"
Yes, how could she not understand?
But precisely because of this, she felt pitiful.
A person who had died could still easily win over her.
She said nothing and only looked at him with a smile, that somewhat sorrowful smile glaringly visible, making Matthew Saxon frown deeply.
Women are truly strange creatures.
Choosing to compare themselves with someone who is already deceased.
Even if he said he would divorce her because of Little Tail, it would not really become reality.
Scarlett Yates suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her stomach.
Having drunk so much on an empty stomach, her stomach contracted painfully, and her face changed color instantly.
"I’m hungry. I need to eat something first." Not wanting him to see her difference, she left this sentence, then turned around and quickly walked away.
Matthew Saxon stood there, staring at her retreating figure with furrowed brows.
He knew she was unhappy.
He also knew how he could answer to make her satisfied, but he couldn’t lie just to satisfy her.
In his heart, indeed no woman could surpass Little Tail.
Even Scarlett Yates had not yet reached the importance level that could surpass Little Tail.
If it weren’t for Little Tail accompanying him during those bleak days, he might have followed in his mother Naomi Dougla’s footsteps, and also succumbed to severe depression.
To him, Little Tail wasn’t just a beautiful memory but also a ray of light in his dark life.
