Chapter 66 The Cuckolding Question\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Vincent finished watching the video, his face remained an impassive mask, betraying none of the tempest raging within him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Compounding his turmoil was Daniel\u2019s crass remark, which involuntarily dragged his thoughts back to the intimate moments-or lack thereof-between him and Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To be brutally honest, describing their sex life as \u201cincompatible\u201d would be a generous understatement. He rarely lasted more than three minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t a matter of physical inability. Rather, he was always so eager to be done with it, to fulfill the obligation and quickly extricate himself to return to Sabrina and Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Vincent remain silent for so long, Daniel\u2019s curiosity only intensified. \u201cSeriously, man, tell me the truth. Were you really not able to satisfy her in bed?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent looked up, his gaze sharp enough to cut glass as he shot Daniel a withering glare. He didn\u2019t utter a single word, but the sheer intensity of his silent reproach was potent enough to silence anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel promptly mimed zipping his lips shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, his innate nosiness got the better of him. He leaned in conspiratorially and asked again, \u201cBut for real, after all this, you\u2019re still not considering divorce?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent rolled his eyes with palpable irritation. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His refusal wasn\u2019t rooted in love for Scarlett. It stemmed from what Vanessa had expressed that day-her desperate desire to have both her parents, and Sabrina, loving her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A divorce would shatter that fragile hope, leaving Vanessa without the complete family unit she craved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel simply couldn\u2019t fathom Vincent\u2019s logic. He opened his mouth to probe further, but Harris grabbed his arm firmly. \u201cMan, just let it go. No one\u2019s saying you can\u2019t talk, but maybe you should know when to stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel was even more bewildered. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with what I said? Vincent doesn\u2019t even have feelings for Scarlett, and now that woman is openly cheating. Why hold on? What are you waiting for?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris tried to reason with him. \u201cThis is Vincent\u2019s personal matter to resolve. Scarlett is still Vanessa\u2019s mother. Just drop it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel\u2019s face flushed with frustration, \u201cHarris, whose side are you on? Do you actually enjoy watching your best friend get cuckolded like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris fell silent, at a loss for words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent had heard more than enough. A low growl rumbled in his chest. \u201cEnough. Both of you, shut up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that final command, he stood up abruptly and strode out of the private room,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel made a move to follow him, but Harris held his arm in a vice-like grip. \u201cCould you use your brain for once in your life?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, so you\u2019re the one with a brain and I\u2019m not? Fine. Whatever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harris shot Daniel a look of pure exasperation. \u201cYou are utterly hopeless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he too turned and left the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Vincent arrived at Ravenshade Villa, he found Vanessa still awake, sitting in the living room and snacking on fruit while sipping milk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she saw him enter, she slipped into her little slippers and came running over. \u201cDaddy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent bent down and gently stroked her soft cheek. \u201cWhy are you still up so late?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was waiting for you to come home, Daddy,\u201d Vanessa replied, her voice sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent picked her up and carried her upstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa wrapped her small arms tightly around his neck. With a child\u2019s intuition, she sensed something was amiss. \u201cDaddy, what\u2019s wrong? Are you upset?\u201d she asked quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent was silent for a long moment before finally asking, \u201cHas your mom called you recently?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of Scarlett, Vanessa\u2019s little head drooped. \u201cMom hasn\u2019t called me in a very long time. When I call her, she either doesn\u2019t answer, or if she does, she says she\u2019s busy and can\u2019t talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the palpable disappointment in his daughter\u2019s voice sent a peculiar, sharp ache through Vincent\u2019s chest. He could only reply softly, \u201cI see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After carrying Vanessa back to her room and tucking her into bed, Vincent said, \u201cIt\u2019s time to sleep now,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa blinked her large, round eyes. \u201cDaddy, if I go to sleep nicely like a good girl, will Mom call me tomorrow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent didn\u2019t have an answer for her. He simply brushed her cheek again and repeated, \u201cGo to sleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Vanessa acquiesced, her voice small.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only once he was sure Vanessa was sound asleep did Vincent finally leave her room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He retreated to his study and stood before the expansive floor-to-ceiling window for what felt like an eternity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The images from Daniel\u2019s phone were seared into his mind, playing on a relentless loop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He and Damian had been business rivals for years, clashing countless times in both overt corporate battles and covert, underhanded schemes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian was arguably the only person in the business world who could truly match him blow for blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet, fully aware that Damian was his sworn enemy, Scarlett had still chosen to associate with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 66 The Cuckolding Question\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could Vincent not be incensed?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Regardless of the state of their marriage, she was still legally his wife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
The more he dwelled on it, the more his anger simmered. Finally, Vincent pulled out his phone and dialed Scarlett\u2019s number directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The phone rang for an uncomfortably long time before she finally answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d Her tone held none of the cautious attentiveness or subdued happiness it once did when speaking to him. Now, her voice was as cold and sharp as shards of ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent got straight to the point, his own voice tight. \u201cWhat are you doing right now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett had no patience for his seemingly pointless inquiries. \u201cIf you have something specific to say, then say it. Otherwise, I\u2019m hanging up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent hesitated briefly, then grasped for the first plausible excuse that came to mind. \u201cVanessa said she wants the oatmeal you make for breakfast tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, Scarlett didn\u2019t outright refuse. \u201cI\u2019ll call Lily and give her the recipe. Vanessa can have it when she wakes up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent\u2019s eyes narrowed, his angry, distorted reflection glaring back at him from the dark windowpane. His voice dropped several degrees, becoming dangerously cold. \u201cThat\u2019s not the same thing, and you know it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unbeknownst to him, on the other end of the line, Scarlett was seated in the passenger seat of Damian\u2019s luxury car, taking his call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
