As she spoke, her eyes were filled with fear and dread, as if she were very afraid of Scarlett.
Matthew Saxon didn't open his mouth to make her stay, nor did he nod in agreement, he simply said thoughtfully, "Aren't you very afraid of thunder?"
Alice Green forced a smile, her voice tinged with bitterness, "It's... it's okay... I can endure it. This storm should pass soon."
"If I stay, Miss Yates won't be happy, so I better not stay and risk annoying anyone here."
Even Heaven seemed moved by her kindness and consideration; the moment Alice finished speaking, a clap of thunder roared, deafening, as if the sky was about to collapse.
Even Scarlett was startled by the thunder, her body involuntarily quivering.
Actually, she was a little afraid of thunder too.
"Ah! Thunder, such loud thunder!" As the thunder rolled, Alice shrieked, her face pale, and she threw herself into Matthew's arms, holding him tightly.
