Awakened Housewife: Ignore Betrayer\u2019s Begs\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 331 Comfort After the Storm\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the looks of it, Vanessa had already taken quite a beating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So Eric stepped forward and called out loudly, \u201cClara, stop! She\u2019s had enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Clara finally stilled her hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
64\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was breathing heavily, sweat dampening her hair. Pushing herself up from Vanessa, she walked over to Eric.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa lay on the ground, past caring about pride or appearances, and simply cried out loud and raw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Each sob felt like a twist in Scarlett\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina slipped past Scarlett and Damian and hurried toward Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Clara reached Eric. She lifted a hand\u2013smudged and a little bloody\u2013and placed it on his shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf she ever talks to you like that again, tell me. I\u2019ll shut her up myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric felt a warm swell in his chest, but seeing Clara\u2019s wild hair and flushed face, he couldn\u2019t help adding, \u201cYou look like a total tomboy right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara swatted him lightly on the head. \u201cLooking for another beating?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric instinctively raised his arms in defense. \u201cOkay, okay, sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Satisfied, Clara lowered her hand. \u201cThat\u2019s better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric dropped his guard and said earnestly, \u201cThanks, Clara.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara found the sentiment too mushy. She rolled her eyes. \u201cWhatever. Just shut up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric smiled slightly and didn\u2019t press further.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over by the trees, Sabrina had reached Vanessa. She bent to gather the sobbing girl, but before her hands could make contact, Vanessa scrambled up and bolted toward the woods, crying as she ran.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a sigh, Sabrina set off after her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Clara was done with Eric, she noticed Scarlett\u2019s quiet, tense expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After all, the child she\u2019d just beaten up was Scarlett\u2019s own daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What mother wouldn\u2019t be upset?\u00a0<\/p>\n
(64)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Around Eric, Clara was all fierce confidence. But under Scarlett\u2019s gaze now, she felt suddenly\u00a0<\/p>\n
nervous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She walked over, hooked a finger gently around Scarlett\u2019s hand, and when Scarlett looked down, Clara shut her eyes and blurted, \u201cAuntie, I\u2019m sorry. I know I was wrong. You can punish me if you want, but please don\u2019t stay mad at me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Scarlett\u2019s heart ached even more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why were children so different? Clara was so perceptive and brave, while Vanessa\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then again, Vanessa was being raised by Sabrina now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett knelt down and softly brushed Clara\u2019s cheek. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to apologize to me, sweetheart. Sometimes people who do wrong need to face consequences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara wrapped her arms around Scarlett\u2019s leg. \u201cAuntie, maybe you should go Damian can stay with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
check on Vanessa.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett shook her head gently. \u201cSomeone else is already with her. She doesn\u2019t need me right\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking Scarlett was still upset, Clara held out her palm. \u201cThen hit my hand, so you can feel better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett simply took Clara\u2019s hand in hers, holding it without a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAuntie,\u201d Clara said quietly, \u201cI don\u2019t regret standing up for Eric.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett looked into Clara\u2019s determined eyes and managed a faint smile. \u201cYou did the right thing, Clara. Protecting your friends is important.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pain was still there, but Clara wasn\u2019t wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian stood nearby holding Eric\u2019s hand, though his attention never truly left Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the surface she was composed, but he knew\u2013she was hurting more than anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to comfort her, but the memory of her calling him \u201ctainted\u201d still stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hated how much it bothered him, but he couldn\u2019t just turn it off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing Scarlett\u2019s low spirits, Damian gave Eric a subtle nod toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric understood. He walked over and hugged Scarlett gently. \u201cScarlett, let\u2019s go make lunch together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett looked down at him, her eyes full of regret. \u201cEric\u2026 let me apologize for what Vanessa said to you. It was cruel and wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eric shook his head. \u201cIt\u2019s okay. I\u2019m used to it. She\u2019s not the first kid to say things like that. I\u2019ve never had a mom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him say that so quietly broke Scarlett\u2019s heart. She pulled him into a warm hug, stroking his hair. \u201cYou are a wonderful boy, Eric. Don\u2019t let anyone make you feel less. Your dad loves you so much\u2014even if you don\u2019t have a mom, you are deeply loved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
