Chapter 105 Morning Aftermath

Scarlett observed the unoccupied space, though she remained uncertain whether it was intentionally left for

her.

Regardless, she had no intention of sharing a bed with him again.

She walked directly to the sofa, lay down, drew a blanket over herself, and switched off the main lights, leaving only a single dim lamp illuminated.

Vincent watched Scarlett choose the sofa, his brow furrowing slightly. Yet his pride prevented him from swallowing his ego and inviting her to the bed.

Thus, he remained silent in the growing darkness.

Before long, the steady rhythm of Scarlett’s breathing filled the quiet room.

Vincent initially thought he might be mistaken. He listened more attentively and confirmed she had indeed fallen asleep.

The following morning, when Scarlett opened her eyes, Vincent was conspicuously absent from the large bed.

She surmised he had likely gone for his customary morning run.

Without dwelling on it further, Scarlett prepared herself and descended the stairs.

She noticed the housekeeper working diligently in the kitchen and inquired casually, “Have you seen Vincent this morning?”

The housekeeper paused thoughtfully before shaking her head. “No, Mrs. Stewart, I haven’t seen Mr. Stewart.”

Scarlett merely responded with a neutral “I see,” dismissing the matter from her thoughts.

It was still relatively early. She decided to breakfast with Xavier before departing for the hospital.

Accordingly, she settled onto the living room sofa and began scrolling through her phone.

Unlike previous behavior, she no longer felt compelled to actively ingratiate herself with the Stewart family.

The household staff observed this change with some surprise.

While browsing, Scarlett’s attention was caught by a viral topic that had exploded overnight.

“Vincent Stewart Spotted Stargazing at Midnight with His Wife and Daughter-Picture-Perfect Family of Three.”

She tapped into the post and found numerous media outlets sharing the story.

Accompanying the articles were multiple photographs depicting Vincent, Vanessa, and Sabrina sitting closely together, their postures radiating comfort, happiness, and familial sweetness.

Though only their backs were visible, Scarlett could almost palpably sense the joy emanating from both Vincent and Vanessa.

So this explained his absence-he had gone to join Sabrina and Vanessa.

The revelation didn’t surprise Scarlett in the slightest.

When Vanessa called last night, Vincent had probably wanted to depart immediately. Only consideration for Xavier’s feelings, having specifically requested they stay, had given him pause.

Yet ultimately, Sabrina’s pull had proven stronger.

Beneath the trending post, comments were proliferating rapidly.

[They already have a child together and still maintain this secrecy? Do wealthy men simply avoid responsibility? Not even a formal wedding?]

[Does a wedding ceremony truly hold that much significance?]

[Who needs a wedding? I’d gladly wash dishes and cook for a man like that forever. Some men just captivate us completely.]

[Why is this trending? Does anyone genuinely care about ordinary people’s struggles?]

[Zero interest!]

Opinions varied wildly-some expressed envy, others cynicism; some criticized Vincent’s perceived irresponsibility, while others dismissed the situation as unimportant…

Truthfully, Scarlett found she couldn’t summon any concern.

Everyone knew Vincent loved another woman, but who would have guessed his legal wife wasn’t the woman everyone assumed?

Just as Scarlett set her phone aside, she observed Xavier entering from the backyard.

Spotting Scarlett, Xavier’s eyes brightened noticeably. “Not occupied with work today, Scarlett?”

Typically, Xavier breakfasted alone at the Stewart Manor.

He secretly longed for companionship, but the younger generations remained perpetually busy and rarely visited.

Scarlett rose and greeted him respectfully, “Good morning, Grandpa. It’s still early, so I’ll join you for breakfast before heading to the hospital.”

She understood Xavier’s loneliness and wanted to provide what small comfort she could.

Xavier was visibly delighted, praising Scarlett’s thoughtfulness. However, when he turned and noted Vincent’s absence, his expression clouded. “Where is Vincent?”

Scarlett hesitated momentarily before replying, “He left for the office. Mentioned an important morning meeting.”

Chapter 105 Morning Aftermath

# Finished

Xavier didn’t engage with social media and remained unaware of the trending story. Consequently, Scarlett chose to withhold the information.

Since she intended to divorce Vincent regardless, creating conflict over minor matters seemed pointless.

After breakfast, Xavier proved reluctant to let Scarlett depart, holding her hand and repeating his admonition, “Visit whenever you have time. I don’t know how many days I’ve left to see you.”

Scarlett felt a sharp pang in her heart and could only nod repeatedly.

Only after several rounds of reminders did Xavier finally permit her to leave.

The moment she stepped beyond the Stewart Manor’s threshold, she encountered an unexpected visitor.

It was Amanda.

She wore a vibrant blue dress, a luminous emerald bracelet encircling her wrist, adorned with jewelry and embodying the image of a wealthy matriarch.

One glance told Scarlett that trouble awaited.

It was evident Amanda had been lying in wait for her at the entrance.

“Well, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence,” Amanda sneered the instant she opened her mouth.

Scarlett had no patience for her vitriol and stated bluntly, “If you have something to say, say it directly.”

After five years of marriage to Vincent, Scarlett had endured more than enough of Amanda’s sarcasm. Previously, she had prioritized family harmony and never contested Amanda’s remarks.
