Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was crystal clear that he didn\u2019t have an ounce of love for his wife, yet the way he\u2019d suddenly brought her up and bluntly admitted that fact left Sabrina completely befuddled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hung her head low, her lips pressed into a tight, thin line, her mind racing to make sense of his unexpected comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel stole a quick glance at her, and in that split second, he could read her confusion like an open book-he knew exactly what was swirling around in her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Daniel had already solidified his stance-he was firmly in Sabrina\u2019s corner, and he was determined to back her every step of the way until she became Vincent\u2019s wife someday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Vincent, he didn\u2019t bring up anything else besides the gifts they\u2019d discussed earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the conversation wrapped up, Daniel walked them to the door and saw them off, only turning back toward the house once their car had pulled away and disappeared from sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver sat up front, focused on the road, while Vincent and Sabrina settled into the backseat. From the moment they climbed in, an awkward silence hung in the air-neither of them said a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent kept his gaze fixed downward, his fingers tapping lightly on his phone screen as he scrolled through something, though Sabrina had no clue what had captured his attention. Sabrina couldn\u2019t help but feel a twinge of unease. Finally, she mustered up the courage to break the silence. \u201cVincent?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked up at her, his voice cool and calm, as if he hadn\u2019t noticed the tension between them. \u201cWhat is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina hesitated, not daring to bring up the uncomfortable things Madeline had said earlier- she didn\u2019t want to ruin the moment or make him angry. Instead, she opted for a safer topic. \u201cI\u2019m not going back to Ravenshade Villa tonight. I need to head home for a few days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She deliberately left out the reason for her trip, figuring it didn\u2019t matter much and she didn\u2019t want to overexplain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To her relief, Vincent didn\u2019t press her for details. He just nodded slightly, his expression unchanged. \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Sabrina still sensed something was off. She wondered if it was because of Madeline\u2019s <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
