Will the Aloof Billionaire Divorce Today?-Chapter 832: What Are You Listening To?

Last night, she slept very soundly and sweetly, but right before she woke up, she had a nightmare that jolted her awake.

As soon as she moved the arm that was lying across the pillow, it felt sore and painful, as if half of her arm was numb.

In the latter half of the night, she had been resting on his arm. Seeing her sleep so peacefully, he let her continue to lie there.

The result of having his arm pressed down for so long was that his entire arm went numb. The blood circulation was poor, and his hand felt as if it was frozen stiff. It took a while before he slowly regained sensation.

Was the bed too hard?

Scarlett Yates paused, not thinking much of it. She just figured he was used to a life of luxury and naturally found it hard to adjust to a place with such poor conditions.

She also had a habit of needing to adjust to a new bed.

But last night, she slept soundly.

Although the doors and windows were tightly closed, sunlight still managed to filter through the small gaps, casting beams of light diagonally onto the concrete floor.

Scarlett Yates didn’t know how long they were going to be kept here.

There wasn’t a single sound from outside.

As soon as she woke up, her stomach was hungry. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

She noticed Matthew Saxon’s face was full of fatigue. She pulled the blanket over him after getting out of bed, and then covered him entirely with it, saying, "You sleep for a while. I’ll go listen to see if there’s any noise."

With her hair disheveled, she casually patted it down, rubbed her face a couple of times, and then climbed to the edge of the bed. After getting off, she put on shoes and quietly walked to the door.

She pressed her ear against the door, listening intently.

Matthew Saxon found her actions amusing, chuckled, covered his mouth, and yawned: "What are you listening for?"

"I’m listening to see if anyone’s coming."

He lazily curled his lips and laughed again, "Aren’t you afraid it’s someone coming to take your life?"

Afraid, how could she not be afraid?

Someone as timid as her was quite attached to her life.

However, after a night, although Scarlett Yates still couldn’t completely calm down, she had settled down quite a bit.

Whether it’s fortune or misfortune, if it’s misfortune, it’s unavoidable. Worrying and fearing wouldn’t change anything; it’s better to be indifferent and calm. Otherwise, she’d scare herself before anything even happened.

Moreover, from the moment they were being followed last night until now, Matthew Saxon has acted as if nothing’s wrong, exuding an unbelievable level of calmness, repeatedly assuring her that they wouldn’t be harmed.

His tone was so confident and assured that Scarlett Yates was affected by his demeanor, gradually becoming less afraid.

She thought that someone like Matthew Saxon must be very smart. With his status, he would naturally be extremely cautious about safety concerns; otherwise, the Saxon Family’s cars wouldn’t all have bulletproof glass.

Would someone so mindful of his own safety easily allow himself to fall into such a dangerous situation?

Unconsciously, a sentence he once said came to her mind.

At that time, she was worried there might be an ambush in the suburbs and reminded him. He, however, casually remarked that they were just waiting for their ambush.

At the time, she was too frightened and didn’t have the mind to ponder over his words. But now, thinking back, she feels there was more to what he said.

From the way he spoke, it seemed as if he had known all along that there was an ambush waiting in the suburbs, and then deliberately walked into it.

Now that Scarlett Yates had calmed down, analyzing bit by bit, she realized Matthew Saxon seemed to be calculating something.

She was just about to ask him when, after turning around, she heard footsteps approaching from outside.
