Chapter 427 A Request She Can\u2019t Refuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she heard Vincent address Diana by name, Scarlett was taken aback.\u00a0<\/p>\n
54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
In all these years, he had rarely spoken to Diana directly, yet in just the past few minutes, he had said her name several times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For him to act this way now, on the verge of their divorce, left Scarlett thoroughly puzzled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Clara tugged at Scarlett\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett looked down, and Clara said, \u201cAuntie, I\u2019m going to be late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Scarlett quickly replied, \u201cOkay, I will take you right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, she took Clara\u2019s hand and started downstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent heard footsteps on the stairs and immediately turned to look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he saw Scarlett, he instinctively stood up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, he said to her with a faint, composed smile, \u201cI came to pick you up to try on the dress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Scarlett could ask, Vincent stated his purpose directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She understood immediately. \u201cI have to take Clara to preschool,\u201d she said. \u201cI won\u2019t be able to go try on anything today. Maybe another time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was testing the waters, attempting a refusal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Vincent responded quickly, \u201cThat\u2019s fine. We can drop Clara off first on the way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett instinctively refused again. \u201cNo, it\u2019s out of your way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Vincent insisted, \u201cIt\u2019s not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett frowned at him, a note of irritation in her voice. \u201cVincent, you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Vincent didn\u2019t let her finish. He turned slightly away, lowered his voice, and said to Vanessa, \u201cVanessa, weren\u2019t you just saying you missed Mommy? Why are you so quiet now that she\u2019s here?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa sat up from the sofa and looked up at Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, Vanessa suddenly wanted to run over and have Scarlett pick her up and hold\u00a0<\/p>\n

her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she pushed the impulse down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had been so, so long since Scarlett had held her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she had a fever last night, Vanessa had even remembered how Scarlett used to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the Scarlett now was nothing like before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa opened her mouth and reluctantly said, \u201cMommy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t maintain a cold expression. She still responded with a quiet, \u201cMm\u2013hmm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
54\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa saw Clara standing there in her preschool uniform and backpack, looking tidy and\u00a0<\/p>\n
sweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sudden pang shot through Vanessa\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Almost without thinking, she explained to Scarlett, \u201cFever\u2019s still here today. Daddy got me out of school. I\u2019m not going.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett hadn\u2019t expected Vanessa to explain herself, nor had she intended to make things difficult. She simply acknowledged again, \u201cMm\u2013hmm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But seeing Scarlett\u2019s detached manner, Vanessa suddenly spoke up, \u201cCan you take me out to play?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had been a long time since she\u2019d been taken anywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent was always busy with work, and Sabrina was absorbed in her research.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lately, Vanessa had been spending all her time at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was bored and tired of all her toys.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing Vanessa\u2019s question, Scarlett replied coolly, \u201cIf you\u2019re not feeling well, you should rest at home, not think about going out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Diana came out of the kitchen carrying a small bowl of oatmeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she entered, she heard Scarlett\u2019s sharp tone with Vanessa. Setting the bowl down, she chided gently, \u201cScarlett, she\u2019s just a little girl. There\u2019s no need to be so stern.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett swallowed her words and didn\u2019t argue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana brought the bowl over and placed it on the coffee table. She crouched in front of\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa, her face kind. \u201cVanessa, look, I made you some oatmeal. I added a little brown sugar and cinnamon\u2013your favorite. You need to eat to keep your strength up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa glanced at the bowl. It did look warm and inviting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She swallowed, about to say okay, when it struck her\u2013Diana had only brought one bowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing there wasn\u2019t any for Vincent, Vanessa\u2019s face fell again. However much she wanted it, she held back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her hesitate, Diana asked, puzzled, \u201cSweetheart, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vanessa turned her face away. \u201cI don\u2019t want oatmeal. I want pancakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana looked momentarily at a loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where would she get pancakes at this hour?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But wanting to please her granddaughter, Diana started to say she could try to make some.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could get the words out, Scarlett turned to Vincent. \u201cYou should take Vanessa home. As for the dress fitting, I\u2019ll contact you when I\u2019m free.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent stood up. \u201cI have to get to the office to handle some documents. I\u2019ll leave Vanessa here with you today. I\u2019ll come pick her up this afternoon when I\u2019m done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, he didn\u2019t wait for her reply, taking Vanessa and heading straight upstairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
