Chapter 973: Spending a Lifetime Together
As if they were harmoniously connected, Matthew Saxon also thought of that day’s events. He turned his head to look at Scarlett Yates with a teasing smile, "We initially agreed to pretend to be a couple for a year, but now the contract hasn’t expired and we’re planning to get married. Scarlett, would you say this is breaching the contract?""Hmm, it seems like we’re breaching it."
"Then what should we do? Breaching the contract means facing punishment."
Yes, the contract clearly states that the party that breaches must bear the responsibility.
But now, both of them are breaching it, so how should this responsibility be assumed?
Scarlett Yates looked up at him and smiled, "Since we’ve both breached it, what do you think we should do to punish each other?"
"Let me think about it carefully." After saying that, Matthew Saxon lowered his head, pretending to be deep in thought as if he was seriously considering the issue.
Scarlett didn’t rush him, curious to hear what he would say.
About a minute later, Matthew seemed to have figured it out.
He slowly raised his head, and with a very solemn expression, he delivered his so-called punishment word by word, "Since we couldn’t adhere to our agreement, our punishment will be that we must stay with each other forever, never allowed to leave one another."
After he finished speaking, he smiled, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "Scarlett, what do you think of this punishment?"
The punishment of staying together forever?
Scarlett Yates curved her lips and gradually started to smile, "Alright, then let’s punish ourselves with a lifetime together. Matthew, when I become a gray-haired, wrinkled old lady, you mustn’t mind me."
Matthew chuckled softly, pulling her into his arms, gently touching her head with affection, "Silly woman, when you’re gray-haired and wrinkled, I’ll be just like you. Neither of us will have the right to dislike the other."
The shimmering water’s surface reflected the silhouette of them embracing.
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, but Matthew Saxon thought no matter how beautiful the moonlit scenery was, it couldn’t compare to the woman in his arms.
Her dark, glossy eyes were like the most radiant stars in the night sky.
This star was unique in the world, a treasure belonging solely to him, Matthew Saxon.
He vowed to cherish her with his lifetime.

After finishing their walk, the two returned hand in hand, sweet and intimate.
Sometimes, Scarlett Yates felt she was quite slow to realize things.
For instance, she only just found out that the Saxon Family had hot spring pools.
Nevertheless, she had stayed at the Saxon Family estate for more than half a month, but nobody had told her.
In the cold winter, after walking for an hour, soaking in a hot spring to warm up and relieve fatigue was the best option.
She followed Matthew Saxon to the hot spring area.
The hot springs were divided into several pools: one for the Saxon Family members, one for entertaining guests, and another for the staff to enjoy.
The pool reserved for the Saxon Family was undoubtedly the best, even the house built around it was more luxurious.
Matthew Saxon led Scarlett Yates to the family pool area, where there were separate sections for men and women inside the large pool.
Matthew Saxon came out, having changed into just a pair of swimming trunks, while Scarlett Yates also changed into a swimsuit meant for the hot spring.
As they walked out from their respective changing rooms, they inevitably ran into each other.
Scarlett had chosen a very conservative swimsuit, which only exposed a hint of her waist and featured a skirt style similar to a sports outfit worn in the summer.
