Chapter 916: You’d Better Not Lie to Me
Why did Maxwell Saxon want to go to the snowy mountain? He wasn’t making this decision casually.He knew that Scarlett Yates had forgotten a lot of things, but he still remembered.
The little girl in his memory loved snow very much. One year, when a small snow fell, she was as happy as could be, wearing a red little cotton jacket, joyously rolling in the snow.
But the snow then was really too little.
The ground wasn’t covered; as she rolled around, not much snow stuck to her, but instead, she picked up lots of mud and water.
Before this, when he was following behind her, he saw her face filled with a curious and excited expression, sometimes reaching out to catch snowflakes, sometimes spinning in circles in the snowy weather, sometimes using her phone to take pictures everywhere.
He knew she liked snow very much.
Therefore, he wanted to take her to a place she would really like.
This was something he had promised her before. It didn’t matter if she forgot; as long as he remembered, that was enough.
No matter how much time passed, he would honor the promises he made to her.
"Is it your birthday today?" Maxwell Saxon is three years older than Matthew Saxon; if today is his birthday, then he is 28 years old.
For a man, 28 is not quite mature yet; there’s still a trace of childishness.
But these aspects don’t apply to Maxwell Saxon.
At 28, the maturity and depth he exhibits are not typical of someone his age.
Maxwell Saxon nodded and deliberately tempted her with various words, "The snow mountain in Fort City is beautiful, surrounded by snow-covered peaks. There’s a natural hot spring in the mountain, and an ice sculpture city. After skiing, you visit the ice city, then soak in the hot spring, and come out to enjoy a steaming hot mutton hot pot. Once you go, you’ll definitely want to go a second time."
With each sentence he spoke, a picture would form in Scarlett Yates’s mind.
First the snowy mountain, then the hot spring, and then the steaming hot mutton soup pot...
She admitted, she was moved by what he said.
Seeing her moved, Maxwell Saxon continued to tempt her, "The mutton hot pot there is very authentic, the mutton is cut into big, thin slices, cooked for ten seconds in the pot, then it’s done. Dipped in specially prepared sauce, it’s absolutely unforgettable."
Scarlett Yates swallowed.
Maxwell Saxon continued speaking, "The mutton is selected from the tenderest part of the sheep..."
"Maxwell Saxon, once you’ve been to the snow mountain, will you be going back?" Scarlett Yates swallowed the saliva that had gathered at the corner of her mouth.
"Of course, I keep my word." Maxwell Saxon agreed readily, "Being able to spare a few days to come over already delayed many things, if I don’t go back today, everyone will have opinions."
"Then..." Scarlett Yates hesitated, her heart had actually decided to go, but she felt she couldn’t agree too quickly.
Maxwell Saxon felt a joy in his heart, but kept a calm expression on his face, "You agreed?"
"I can accompany you, but you must keep your promises. I’ve brought up some matters with you before, you said you’d consider them, you better not deceive me."
She referred to him leaving with May Denton.
Maxwell Saxon paused in silence.
Hearing the last half of Scarlett Yates’s sentence, his eyes flickered slightly, his expression subtly changed.
He had already deceived her; he could never take May Denton and leave.
It’s come to this step, regardless of the outcome, good or bad, he has to continue forward.
After a moment of silence, he said, "I remember, I will consider it."
He lied to her once more.
