Scarlett observed the unoccupied space, though she remained uncertain whether it was intentionally left for\u00a0<\/p>\n
her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Regardless, she had no intention of sharing a bed with him again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She walked directly to the sofa, lay down, drew a blanket over herself, and switched off the main lights, leaving only a single dim lamp illuminated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent watched Scarlett choose the sofa, his brow furrowing slightly. Yet his pride prevented him from swallowing his ego and inviting her to the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thus, he remained silent in the growing darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before long, the steady rhythm of Scarlett\u2019s breathing filled the quiet room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent initially thought he might be mistaken. He listened more attentively and confirmed she had indeed fallen asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The following morning, when Scarlett opened her eyes, Vincent was conspicuously absent from the large bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She surmised he had likely gone for his customary morning run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without dwelling on it further, Scarlett prepared herself and descended the stairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She noticed the housekeeper working diligently in the kitchen and inquired casually, \u201cHave you seen Vincent this morning?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The housekeeper paused thoughtfully before shaking her head. \u201cNo, Mrs. Stewart, I haven\u2019t seen Mr. Stewart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett merely responded with a neutral \u201cI see,\u201d dismissing the matter from her thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was still relatively early. She decided to breakfast with Xavier before departing for the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accordingly, she settled onto the living room sofa and began scrolling through her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unlike previous behavior, she no longer felt compelled to actively ingratiate herself with the Stewart family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The household staff observed this change with some surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While browsing, Scarlett\u2019s attention was caught by a viral topic that had exploded overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVincent Stewart Spotted Stargazing at Midnight with His Wife and Daughter-Picture-Perfect Family of Three.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tapped into the post and found numerous media outlets sharing the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accompanying the articles were multiple photographs depicting Vincent, Vanessa, and Sabrina sitting closely together, their postures radiating comfort, happiness, and familial sweetness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though only their backs were visible, Scarlett could almost palpably sense the joy emanating from both Vincent and Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So this explained his absence-he had gone to join Sabrina and Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The revelation didn\u2019t surprise Scarlett in the slightest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Vanessa called last night, Vincent had probably wanted to depart immediately. Only consideration for Xavier\u2019s feelings, having specifically requested they stay, had given him pause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet ultimately, Sabrina\u2019s pull had proven stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
