She didn't know what to say, overwhelmed with joy and excitement, with only one thought echoing in her mind: she was alive, she hadn't died, and she had finally left that damned island.
Seeing her so excited and overjoyed that she couldn't even speak, Matthew Saxon looked at her deeply, as if joking, he said, "Scarlett Yates, I picked up this little life of yours. From now on, your life is mine."
"For saving my life, I should offer myself to you? How about I just reluctantly accept you?"
When he said this, his expression was serious, not at all like he was joking with her.
Scarlett's face reddened again.
Doesn't he know she's considered a wounded person now? She's already in such a miserable state, yet he continues to tease her.
Does he have even a little bit of compassion?
