After locking the car, Vincent and Sabrina cach took one of Vanessa\u2019s hands, and the three of them walked together toward the entrance of Ravenshade Villa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as they were about to step inside, Scarlett got out of her car and called out to their retreating figures, \u201cVincent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the sound of her voice, not only did Vincent pause, but Vanessa and Sabrina also froze in surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
None of them had expected Scarlett to appear at Ravenshade Villa so late at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent turned to look. He watched as Scarlett approached from the roadside, her expression unreadable-neither sad nor joyful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stopping about two or three meters away from him, she said, \u201cVincent, we need to talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent thought for a moment, then turned to Vanessa and Sabrina. \u201cYou two go in first. I\u2019ll join you after a few words with her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa positioned herself slightly in front of Sabrina, her round eyes fixed intently on Scarlett. For some reason, hearing her mother\u2019s voice had sparked a flicker of happiness in her just moments before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But since her mom hadn\u2019t even acknowledged her, that flicker quickly faded, replaced by a sulky disappointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So after Vincent told them to go inside, she let out an annoyed huff and stormed into the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina, seeing this, followed her quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Vanessa\u2019s reaction, Scarlett understood clearly that her daughter no longer held her in a special place in her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But perhaps that no longer mattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Vanessa and Sabrina had disappeared inside, Scarlett used her left hand to offer the divorce agreement to Vincent. \u201cThis is the divorce agreement I prepared. Please take a look. If you find it acceptable, please sign it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent stared at the file held out under the warm glow of the streetlight, feeling a subtle chill\u00a0<\/p>\n
settle in his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, he reached out and took it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just as he was about to speak, Sabrina\u2019s voice called from inside Ravenshade Villa. \u201cVincent, Vanessa\u2019s stomach hurts again!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Vincent moved urgently toward the entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this time, Scarlett stopped him in time. \u201cVincent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused once more. \u201cI\u2019ve got the agreement. I\u2019ll message you after I\u2019ve reviewed it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t want to wait any longer. She said quickly, \u201cReviewing it shouldn\u2019t take more than a few minutes. If the terms are acceptable, we can proceed to the next step.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent thought for a moment, then opened the\u00a0<\/p>\n
agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a brief scan, he closed it again and told her, \u201cThe agreement isn\u2019t comprehensive enough. You should wait for the one I\u2019m having prepared. Don\u2019t worry-once it\u2019s done, I\u2019ll contact you immediately to come and sign it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett took a deep breath. A heavy, suffocating feeling tightened in her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting married had been so simple, but getting a divorce felt like navigating an endless maze of procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt deeply weary but knew there was little she could say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An uncontested divorce was still the best option. If they ended up in court, the only drag on longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
process would\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent tucked the file under his arm and walked toward Ravenshade Villa. After a couple of steps, he stopped again, turned back, and asked, \u201cDo you want to come in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett refused flatly. \u201cNo need.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ravenshade Villa was no longer her home. Why would she step inside?\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent watched her retreating figure, vaguely sensing something off about her right arm, though he couldn\u2019t pinpoint what it was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she returned to the Theron Manor, the family had already retired for the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett went upstairs quietly and pushed open her bedroom door.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t turn on the light right away. After closing the door, she leaned against it and let out a long, weary sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The drawn-out divorce process had been draining her lately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Vincent had agreed to the divorce, progress was painfully slow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They hadn\u2019t even finalized the divorce agreement yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But no matter how impatient she felt, she couldn\u2019t force the pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After steadying her emotions, she reached for the light switch, but her hand brushed against something warm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Startled, she instinctively stepped back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But in the next moment, a pair of strong arms pulled her back, pressing her firmly against the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The familiar scent of cigarettes filled her senses. She struggled and hissed, \u201cDamian, let me go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He leaned in closer, his breath warm against her face like glowing embers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned her face away, and his exhale brushed against her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian didn\u2019t speak. His hand moved to grip her arm, but the moment he made contact, she let out a sharp, pained gasp. \u201cSss\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing her pain, he released her instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He flipped on the light, took her arm gently to examine it, and asked with concern, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett tried to pull her arm back, her expression cold. \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not wanting to hurt her further, Damian let go when he saw her resistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could ask anything else, Scarlett\u2019s phone rang.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She retrieved it with her left hand. Damian noticed how carefully she was protecting her right arm-and he also saw the caller ID on her screen-Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
