Damian didn\u2019t hesitate to express Scarlett\u2019s importance to him in front of others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the man immediately understood Scarlett held special significance for Damian and quickly offered flattering words, \u201cYou\u2019re a fortunate man, Mr. Langley.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian smiled faintly. \u201cIt\u2019s only good fortune if I can win her heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Scarlett wasn\u2019t actively participating in the conversation, she heard every word clearly. She felt increasingly bewildered, uncertain why Damian behaved this way toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the situation, the man bowed slightly toward Scarlett. \u201cMiss, let me propose a toast to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian reached out to intercept the gesture. \u201cMy apologies. My darling doesn\u2019t drink.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Scarlett finally turned her head. \u201cI can drink,\u201d she told Damian firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she picked up a glass of red wine, clinked it with the man\u2019s, and finished it in one go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her cooperation, the man complimented her several more times, seized the opportunity to leave his business card, and politely excused himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he left, Damian moved his chair directly beside Scarlett\u2019s. He turned to look at her seriously. \u201cAre you upset about something?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett continued peeling the chestnut without meeting his gaze. \u201cNot upset. nothing to be particularly happy about either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
There\u2019s just\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her subdued mood, he couldn\u2019t help asking, \u201cThen tell me, what would make you happy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chestnut in her hand seemed undercooked and difficult to peel, so she eventually gave up and placed it on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked up at Damian with sincere eyes. \u201cI like a simple, peaceful life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was surprised her desires were so modest. He responded immediately, \u201cI can give you that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett heard him and smiled faintly. \u201cDamian, how many people born into wealthy families can truly live a simple life? You\u2019re no exception.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian looked down at his own hands, then held them out for her to see. \u201cIf that\u2019s what you want, these hands can bring you wealth and luxury, or they can plant flowers and vegetables for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scarlett looked down at his hands. They were beautifully shaped, with distinct knuckles and long, slender fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, she felt dazed, but still maintained her gentle smile. \u201cDamian, birds and fish walk different paths. We come from different worlds.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Damian grew visibly agitated. He wanted to say he could give up his status and position, but before he could, someone else called his name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamian.\u201d This time, it was a woman\u2019s voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s eyes darkened momentarily. He took a deep breath before turning to look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett also observed the approaching young woman. She recognized her\u2013the same girl who had accompanied Damian to the previous event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only had she attended the event with him, but Damian had also been intimately touching her leg in the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Remembering this, Scarlett lowered her eyes, pressing her lips slightly. Someone like Damian could never truly return to an ordinary life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing it was Kylie Warren, Damian controlled his temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kylie twirled playfully in front of him. \u201cWell? Do I look nice today?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian glanced briefly and nodded. \u201cYes, very beautiful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kylie was direct. \u201cI dressed up just for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Listening to their conversation, Scarlett straightened up and quietly moved her chair further\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian offered a polite smile. \u201cYou put thought into it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kylie sat down beside Damian, enthusiastically linking her arm with his. \u201cWhen the banquet begins, will you sit with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian looked down at her hand on his arm, frowned slightly, gently pushed it away, and smiled at her. \u201cNo, I\u2019ll be sitting with my darling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he turned to look at Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing she had already moved two seats away, he frowned with displeasure, leaned over, grabbed her chair, and pulled her back to his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scarlett had braced herself to resist, but he effortlessly drew her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kylie\u2019s curious gaze followed the movement, and when she clearly saw Scarlett\u2019s face, the smile vanished from her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kylie remembered that last time at the intersection, she and Damian had been on their way to a dinner engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While waiting at the traffic light, a man had approached Scarlett\u2019s car, an argument seemed to break out inside her vehicle, and the car hadn\u2019t moved when the light turned green.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the light changed, Damian should have driven off, but instead he got out and confronted the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After chasing him away, he appeared to exchange words with the driver of the other car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kylie, sitting in the passenger seat, hadn\u2019t heard what was said, but when Damian returned to the car, his eyes were unusually bright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, Kylie had curiously glanced at the driver of the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
