Awakened Housewife: Ignore Betrayer\u2019s Begs\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 240 Different Worlds\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u201cdaughter of the Warren family\u201d Xavier mentioned was clearly from a prominent background.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett even thought that if Nolan could marry the Warren heiress, his professional standing would undoubtedly rise given his capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before she could ponder further, Nolan responded firmly, \u201cI appreciate the offer, but it\u2019s really not necessary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier had expected the Warren name to give the young man pause. To his surprise, he saw only quiet determination in Nolan\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, Xavier wasn\u2019t ready to concede. He hinted meaningfully, \u201cFor a young man, choosing the right connections is often more important than choosing the right career path.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words carried clear implication.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan remained unmoved. \u201cSome things were never meant to be mine. Why force them?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Nolan\u2019s steadfastness, Xavier sighed faintly. \u201cYou\u2019re still young.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan offered a faint smile. \u201cThe path you speak of may not necessarily lead where I want to go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier didn\u2019t reply, merely letting out a soft, dismissive sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent, noticing his grandfather\u2019s waning interest, suggested, \u201cGrandpa, shall we continue our walk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett released Xavier\u2019s arm. After Vincent led him away, she turned to Nolan. \u201cDon\u2019t take Grandpa\u2019s words to heart. Just stay true to yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan understood perfectly that Xavier had been testing him, dangling the shortest path to success as temptation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But in Nolan\u2019s view, status built through marriage was hollow. He wasn\u2019t someone who would climb socially using a woman\u2019s connections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hence, his refusal had been firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That brief exchange was enough for Nolan to sense that Xavier was a formidable man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment\u2019s thought, he couldn\u2019t help asking Scarlett, \u201cI thought you were planning to divorce?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett nodded. \u201cYes. We\u2019re in the separation period now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Nolan relaxed slightly. \u201cThe Stewarts are businesspeople through and through. Businesspeople prioritize profit above all. Don\u2019t place too much trust in Xavier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett agreed quietly. \u201cI know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just from Xavier\u2019s attempted manipulation of Nolan, she could tell Xavier was no benign figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps he treated her with relative kindness simply because she was still his granddaughter- in\u2013law.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier, who had walked some distance ahead, noticed Scarlett hadn\u2019t caught up. He looked back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her still conversing with Nolan, his expression darkened. He called out firmly, \u201cScarlett, aren\u2019t you coming?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him, Scarlett quickly responded, \u201cComing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then said to Nolan, \u201cOnce the divorce is finalized, I\u2019ll distance myself from the Stewarts, including Xavier.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan felt relieved. \u201cGood. Everything will work out. You should go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett nodded and hurried to catch up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she rejoined Vincent and Xavier, she remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier didn\u2019t press further. They continued strolling through the garden, eventually resting in a gazebo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After about half an hour, Xavier announced it was time to return to his room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the elevator on the way up, Scarlett saw Xavier\u2019s reflection in the polished metal doors. His expression was stern, his voice laced with displeasure. \u201cScarlett, I want to ask you\u2013what exactly is your relationship with that man from earlier?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent, standing beside her, glanced at her as if ready to answer, but she didn\u2019t give him the chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett explained truthfully, \u201cGrandpa, Nolan was my senior in college. He\u2019s a good friend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier nodded slowly, a look of understanding dawning, then said, \u201cYour grandmother was an accomplished writer before we married. She published several books, had many readers, and countless admirers. But after we married, she set aside her writing. As for male friends\u2026 she\u00a0<\/p>\n

maintained none after our marriage.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
When speaking of his late wife, Xavier\u2019s eyes softened with warmth and pride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
667\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett immediately understood his implication. He was indirectly reminding her that as a married woman, she shouldn\u2019t maintain close friendships with other men.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Scarlett found his reasoning flawed. Without directly challenging him, she said, \u201cGrandmother must have been remarkable. To set aside her own passions for love\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Xavier quickly countered, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t really a sacrifice. I provided her with a comfortable life, free from financial worries. Besides, writing never brought in significant income.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing Xavier dismiss his wife\u2019s passions so casually, a pang of sadness struck Scarlett. \u201cPerhaps what Grandmother wanted, from beginning to end, was never financial security?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
