Vincent felt his shirt growing damp from Sabrina\u2019s tears. He didn\u2019t scold her, instead asking gently, \u201cWhat wish?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina looked up at him. \u201cI\u2019m twenty\u2013six now. She says I\u2019m still not married.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent paused at her words and fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina quickly added, \u201cVincent, I know I\u2019m putting you in a difficult position.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent\u2019s expression stiffened slightly, but he force\u00a0<\/p>\n
d a faint smile. \u201cNo, you\u2019re not. I\u2019ll figure something out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Scarlett returned to Theron Manor, the lights were still glowing warmly inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Entering the main hall, she saw Nathan and Violet still sitting at the dining table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both looked over as she came in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett walked toward them. \u201cNathan, Violet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan looked Scarlett over carefully, ensuring she was unharmed, then said, \u201cSit down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett settled into the chair beside Violet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet studied her face, her heart aching. \u201cDid you have dinner?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett nodded. \u201cYes, I have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Violet seem to relax. \u201cClara cried for a long time tonight. She just cried herself to sleep, so I had the nanny put her to bed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett felt a pang of guilt but didn\u2019t know what to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet reached under the table and held Scarlett\u2019s cold hand. \u201cThank you for taking Clara out today. It must have been exhausting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett shook her head with a soft smile. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t tiring at all. I was happy spending time with Clara. It made me feel\u2026 truly happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Violet patted the back of her hand. Though she didn\u2019t speak, Scarlett understood the silent sympathy. As mothers, they both understood the particular pain of a daughter\u2019s rejection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While they were talking, Nathan produced a bank card from his wallet. He placed it on the table and slid it toward Scarlett. \u201cTake this card. If the divorce settlement negotiations keep dragging on, don\u2019t get stuck haggling over money. The Stewart family is wealthy, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019ll be generous with you. Rather than waiting for his reluctant offers, it\u2019s better to walk away with your dignity. After the divorce, Violet and I will support you. You won\u2019t have to worry about finances.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Scarlett\u2019s eyes instantly welled up. She refused, \u201cNathan, I have enough savings to support myself. I can\u2019t accept this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t gone into the specific terms of the divorce with her family, so it was natural Nathan assumed the settlement wasn\u2019t finalized.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In reality, Vincent had been relatively generous, offering her a substantial financial compensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her refusal, Violet still pressed the card firmly into Scarlett\u2019s hand. \u201cDon\u2019t say it\u2019s too little. It\u2019s our way of showing we care about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clutching the bank card, a wave of emotion washed over Scarlett. Tears rolled silently down her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She still couldn\u2019t bring herself to share all the divorce details with her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The process had already dragged on for so long; now they were just waiting for the marriage certificates to start the mandatory waiting period at the courthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This only strengthened her resolve to be honest with Xavier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*****\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next day, when Vanessa woke up, there was no one beside her..\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent wasn\u2019t there. Sabrina wasn\u2019t there either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was spacious, but eerily quiet, without a single sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa immediately started crying, calling out, \u201cDaddy! Sabrina!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily, hearing Vanessa\u2019s cries, hurried upstairs from the first floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She entered the bedroom and picked Vanessa up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa buried her face in Lily\u2019s shoulder, sobbing. \u201cLily, where are Daddy and Sabrina?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily explained, \u201cMs. Monroe had to go to the university research lab. She left early this morning. Mr. Stewart took Maria to the hospital for a follow\u2013up appointment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hearing this, Vanessa\u2019s mood plummeted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
*\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to suppress the discomfort in her heart, leaning limply against Lily.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But for some reason, she suddenly missed Scarlett a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Mom were here, she would never have left her alone at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For as long as she could remember, Scarlett had always been by her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, Mom wasn\u2019t with her anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily noticed Vanessa seemed down. \u201cVanessa, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d she asked, leaning down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa shook her head. \u201cLily, I want to call Daddy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having just woken up, Vanessa\u2019s hair was a mess, and she still looked sleepy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily agreed and dialed Vincent\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He answered quickly, but it was noisy on his end, likely because he was at the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVanessa.\u201d Vincent\u2019s voice came through the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing her father\u2019s voice, Vanessa couldn\u2019t hold back anymore. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears started falling. \u201cDaddy,\u201d she wailed, \u201cthere\u2019s no one here with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent\u2019s heart clenched at his daughter\u2019s words. He could only coax her softly, \u201cBe a good girl, Vanessa. I will come back as soon as I\u2019m finished here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa asked tentatively, \u201cCan you be back by ten o\u2019clock?\u201d It was only a little past eight now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent hesitated, but told her the truth. \u201cVanessa, I probably won\u2019t be back until this evening.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
