Hearing Clara, Scarlett glanced at the clock. It was already eight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was winter. Preschool started at eight\u2013thirty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing they were about to be late, Scarlett quickly got off the bed. She took Clara\u2019s hand. \u201cThen I will take you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she straightened up and turned toward the bedroom door, she looked up and saw Damian standing there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no usual smile on his face, nor his typical playful expression. He stood under the hallway light, his complexion looking a little pale, which sent a flutter of unease through Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He never looked like this normally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The most common expression she\u2019d seen in his eyes was that roguish, teasing glint.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, he looked weary and burdened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett opened her mouth to speak, but Clara got there first. She walked over and took Damian\u2019s large hand. \u201cDamian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian bent down. He reached out and gently smoothed Clara\u2019s hair. \u201cYou look very pretty today, Clara.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara beamed a sweet smile. \u201cAnd you looked really cool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, a faint smile finally touched Damian\u2019s lips. He ruffled her hair. \u201cYou have much better taste than your aunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clara giggled, then asked, \u201cDamian, do you need to talk to Auntie alone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian straightened up. He glanced at Scarlett, then smiled down at Clara. \u201cThat\u2019s okay. I just came to check on her. If she\u2019s alright, I should get going.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he finished speaking, Scarlett walked over. She took Clara\u2019s hand. \u201cAlright, let\u2019s get you to school, or you\u2019ll be late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Damian spoke up quickly, \u201cI\u2019ll come with you. Violet specifically asked me to take Clara to preschool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett was momentarily surprised. After a brief hesitation, she didn\u2019t object. She simply nodded. \u201cAlright.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, Scarlett led Clara out first, with Damian following behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as they were about to head downstairs, Scarlett caught sight of Vincent and Vanessa coming through the front door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her heart skipped a beat, and her steps faltered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Worried Vincent might see him, Scarlett pulled Clara back slightly and turned to Damian. \u201cGo back into my room and wait there for a moment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Damian looked at her, puzzled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett gestured discreetly toward the staircase. \u201cVincent\u2019s here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s brow furrowed. A note of displeasure entered his voice. \u201cLet him come. I\u2019m not afraid of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Scarlett\u2019s face was etched with clear worry. Seeing her anxious expression, he reluctantly gave in. \u201cFine. I\u2019ll wait inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Damian was back in the room, Scarlett felt a wave of relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was afraid that if Vincent saw Damian, his temper might flare, and her family could get caught in the crossfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could handle a lot of things, but she truly cared about protecting her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking downstairs again, she saw Vincent had already led Vanessa to the sofa, where they sat down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan, Violet, and Henry had all left for the day. Only Diana was home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana had also seen Vincent and Vanessa arrive. She looked momentarily confused and unsure how to react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, Vincent addressed her. \u201cMrs. Theron,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing him use this more formal address, Diana felt a flicker of discomfort and had no desire to engage. But with Vanessa present, she felt she should set a proper example. She replied with a faint, polite nod. \u201cVincent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After receiving her acknowledgment, Vincent asked, \u201cIs Scarlett here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s eyes flickered almost imperceptibly toward the upstairs landing, but she kept her composure. \u201cShe\u2019s upstairs, probably helping Clara get ready for school.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u0e0b\u0e39\u0e25 (54)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said this a bit more loudly than necessary, indirectly signaling to Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once seated, Vanessa curled up on the sofa. She hadn\u2019t fully recovered and still felt weak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Had she been feeling better, she might have made a comment about Scarlett not loving or wanting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But with Scarlett not in sight, Vanessa didn\u2019t have the energy to say anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana looked at Vanessa, her eyes growing moist. They didn\u2019t see each other often, but Diana was very fond of her granddaughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though Vanessa wasn\u2019t particularly warm toward her, Diana approached carefully. \u201cVanessa, sweetheart, have you had any breakfast?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa opened her eyes and looked at Diana. She shook her head but didn\u2019t speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Diana reached out and lovingly smoothed her hair. \u201cWhat would you like to eat, darling? Tell Grandma, and I\u2019ll make it for you right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa thought seriously for a moment, but she had no appetite. She started to say, \u201cI don\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
wan-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, Vincent spoke to Diana. \u201cSome plain toast or a bowl of oatmeal would be fine, thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Diana readily agreed. \u201cOf course. I\u2019ll make it right away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett stood on the second\u2013floor landing, taking in the quiet scene unfolding downstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
