Chapter 186 Abandoned Again\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett sat dazed on the ground, her eyes vacant, staring into the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
82\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian came over, held her close, and gently patted her back. \u201cIt\u2019s okay now. It\u2019s over,\u201d he murmured softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s gaze drifted toward the banquet hall. She could just make out the figures of Vincent carrying Sabrina away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had left decisively, without a second thought for her still being at the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett thought, even if he didn\u2019t love her, surely he wouldn\u2019t be so indifferent to her safety?\u00a0<\/p>\n
After ensuring Sabrina was safe, he should have come back to look for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But it was all wishful thinking. Vincent never returned-not even a phone call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had said he was coming to pick her up. Yet in the end, he had picked up Sabrina instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Scarlett\u2019s distant expression, Damian followed her line of sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He too saw Vincent and Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Guessing why she was upset, Damian let out a low, disdainful laugh. \u201cScarlett, you entrusted your life to the wrong person. You\u2019ve not only let yourself down, you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve let me down too\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Damian left those last words unspoken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett was indeed heartbroken, but after a while, she began to accept it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Vincent didn\u2019t love her, why would he care whether she lived or died?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she had composed herself, Scarlett said to Damian, \u201cThank you for earlier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian turned his face away, his voice low. \u201cDo you regret it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett answered honestly, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she stood up, ready to leave the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian walked beside her. \u201cSince you know he\u2019s not worth it, why waste time being sad?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett stopped and looked at him. \u201cDamian, I really am quite calm now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

82\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the truth-though sometimes emotions defied logic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, it had been eight years-nearly three thousand days and nights.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian didn\u2019t press further, but he insisted on driving Scarlett back, even if it was to the Stewart Manor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they returned, Xavier was surprisingly still awake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Scarlett enter the living room alone, he stood up quickly. \u201cScarlett, why are you back by yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett had already prepared an excuse. \u201cVincent brought me back, but he had something else to attend to, so he left again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier still seemed concerned. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Did you two argue?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett offered a faint smile. \u201cGrandpa, we didn\u2019t argue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without any feelings left, how could they even argue?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier was only half-convinced but still urged, \u201cYou and Vincent must get along well. Once you\u2019ve recovered your health, have another child for the Stewart family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not wanting to argue, Scarlett simply replied, \u201cHmm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After chatting a while longer, she went upstairs to rest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sometime in the latter half of the night, half-asleep, Scarlett felt the bed dip beside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, someone pulled her into an embrace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was a light sleeper and opened her eyes instantly. By the moonlight filtering through the window, she recognized the face-it was Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVincent, why are you back?\u201d she asked, confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She struggled slightly, slowly freeing herself from his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent noticed her movement but didn\u2019t stop her, letting her pull away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a long moment, he finally spoke, \u201cThere was trouble at the party. I had to leave urgently. Are you okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett said simply, \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With that, she sat up, got out of bed, and went straight to the sofa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A\u00a0<\/p>\n
82\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Vincent asked, puzzled, \u201cWhat are you doing on the sofa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett lay down. \u201cWe\u2019re about to get divorced. It\u2019s better to keep some distance from now on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her aloofness reminded Vincent of how she used to be-every time they met, she had cherished those moments deeply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She would hold him tightly, unwilling to let go, and tirelessly ask what he wanted to eat, offering to cook for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whenever they stayed at the Stewart Manor, she would proactively curl up in his arms like a cat, trying to please him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, she was like a hedgehog-prickly, sealed off, not letting anyone get close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Scarlett who had once loved him so deeply was completely gone, with no trace of her former self left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent didn\u2019t respond. He stared at the ceiling, gradually lost in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But in the silence, his phone rang sharply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Answering, he heard her anxious voice. \u201cVincent, Vanessa is vomiting again, and she\u2019s complaining of stomach pain. Can you come back quickly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Vincent quickly sat up. \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be right back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up, he turned on the light.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and glanced back. Scarlett, lying on the sofa, hadn\u2019t moved at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, he paused for a moment, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
